Recently Jordan and I got Netflix. It has been the most amazing thing, although we have become serious couch potatoes. We have every movie right at our fingertips, and it's beyond fantastic since we are big movie lovers.
However, lately I'm getting discouraged with movies. Either I suck at picking the films, or Netflix decided we're messed up people and only provide messed up movies in the list of shows available for instant watching.
Lately I've been craving a nice feel good movie with a happy ending, but it seems like in all the movies we've been watching people are getting raped, spouses are getting cheated on, people's dreams are destroyed, their lives are miserable and everyone dies.
I thought that since the French are supposed experts on love, they've should have figured out how to create a happy ending. I watched a couple French films, and it turns out that the French are more messed up than I would have expected.
Even the movies that were recommended based on the movies I gave high ratings ended up being twisted and dark.
I've officially given up. It seems as though all the movies lately are about sex & drinking and have zero plot beyond the main character trying to get laid. Is it so much to ask for a movie that develops characters, have a rise and fall, a climax and then above all a happy ending?
So, I call out to you- please give me a good quality movie to watch that has a great plot, happy ending preferred. I will watch your movies and report back. Please, what's your favorite movie?
Love you,
Bre

I have been watching a ton of action and drama lately. I made the mistake of getting New in Town and it was horrendous! The Last Song but Miley Cyrus killed it! I've watched American Gangster, Unthinkable, Remember Me, Green Zone, Percy Jackson and the Olympians, Cop Out, and Brooklyn's Finest. None of those are feel good...Percy Jackson wasn't dark. Have you seen The Book of Eli? That has a good ending but it isn't a feel good movie either. Hmm, I'll let you know if I can think of anything.
I am nearly convinced that the only feel good movies left come from Disney/Pixar. I will love them no matter how old I get.
A good french movie with a wonderful ending is Amelie. I love it.
I love Netflix. I watch more tv series then I watch movies with Netflix. Most recent movies I watched and enjoyed are spygames, which was really good and Meet the Morgans was better then I thought it would be.
when in Rome is a classic chick-flick. even my hubby liked it, surprisingly! i too catch movies on netflix, but because I watch some on streaming and others on disc I can't remember most of their names. but you can't go wrong w/sweet home Alabama
The Book of Eli IS really good! And what about Little Miss Sunshine? That was happy!
