Everybody makes mistakes. Everybody has those days. Whether it’s one of those days (or weeks) where your car breaks down, some weird brown gunk gets in your pants from the subway, your sink gets clogged, you mess up at work, you just have to breathe and figure out what’s going to make your day end on a positive note. Sometimes you just need to jump on your couch or get under your comforter and munch on some chocolate or anything you love. Whether it’s a belly laugh, a smile, a chuckle, or a giggle, there’s nothing better than a movie that will lift your spirits.
Check out some of the best movies to watch when you’re in need to feel great about life!

Even if you’ve watched it already, it won’t fail to lift up your spirits a second or a third time. There is nothing that warms our hearts more than watching the very innocent Queen on her honeymoon alone, and finding herself on that journey.
2. Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara
Oh, the name says it all! This movie will put you into action immediately, making you want to ‘seize the day’ and make something great out of it – even if it’s only calling that old friend you haven’t heard from in ages.
3. Chillar Party
Can anything be better than re-visiting your childhood days, and the many, many amazing moments that so many of us have forgotten in our fast-paced lives? The love for pets, friendship, the faith of a child and super funny moments – this movie will move you and make you laugh, and will linger in your mind for a long while.
4. Despicable Me

5. Sex And The City
Oh, when Carrie Bradshaw talks about the lives and struggles of four women. It’s fun, it’s scandalous and it’s super relatable. Watch this one for the little lessons in life Carrie leaves you with. And oh yeah, those dresses too.
