Movies that move me..try it

My idea of feel good movies are John Wayne, anything 80's directed by John Hughes (yes i love the duck man), All things Audrey Hepburn.  Throw in a wheezer and some Julia Roberts (pretty woman and practical magic) and who could forget Freddy and his great nails?  Meg Ryan had her moments and yes even closer to date Julia Stiles in 10 things i hate about you came close to feel good to me with my girls.    
So let me explain feel good movie: When i watch a movie and it touches me in some way and a week later makes me laugh, tug at my ever hateful heart or maybe teaches me something i didnt really want to think about?  Its a feel good movie.
What i want to share with you today is even though i know how busy you are.  I know my old westerns and black and whites may not interest you and Disney is so over finally thank you baby Jesus (except every other weekend) i have found three feel good movies that do exactly that.  Put your family around you grab a blanket and make some popcorn. Pay attention......watch them twice.  These days life is so busy and complicated and just messy isnt it?  Take the two hours and watch these.  You wont regret it.  (im no movie critic, but i am a momma)
1.  Real Steele - reminded me my kids need me to NOT give up
2. I bought a zoo - a new adventure as long as done together will never fail when paid for     with love..change is hard.  20 seconds of pure courage can change everything..and here i preach 24 hours lol
3. Chasing mavericks - each wave is gonna beat the crapp out of you but if you wanna succeed......the waves will just get bigger (p.s. i hate water.......i loved this movie)


If those dont work, throw in Cowboys with John Wayne or Sabrina with Audrey Hepburn.  (another secret.....Barbara Streisand in Funny girl .....if you can get your teenage daughter to watch it.....you wont regret it)
