Why is this good for your emotional health and wellbeing?
A ‘feel good’ movie is a great pick-me-up if you’re feeling down. Whether it’s cosying up on the sofa to watch a festive romantic movie, a Disney animation or an action-hero adventure, films help take our mind off things and experience a dream-like world which leave us feeling inspired. What is your favourite feel good movie you like to snuggle up and watch?
