The Color Purple, The Wizard of Oz, Poetic Justice and Love and Basketball, just to name a few, are my pick me up movies of choice. When it comes to a good movie something Inspiring, Funny, Creative, and Romantic is all I need...and I am (as you may have heard) "good toh goh (good to go)." Thanks for the topic.

Im a big Johnny Depp fan and most movies of him pick me up.. my favorites are Chocolate, Don juan de marco, and the pirate movies.. and Edward scissorhands.. other then those.. i like others that are not johnny depp movies like Sandlot, Cars.. and some of the disney cartoons.. But there are a few others just can't think of them right now. Tuesdays with morie is a good movie.. but it makes me cry.. but its good..

I love the movie "Steel Magnolias" I can watch the movie over and over again it makes me feel like others are having bigger issues than I and my problem then seem minor. I still cry when I watch it!

Musicals like Little Shop of Horror and Hedwig and the Angry Inch, or feel good movies like Overboard or silly ones like Napoleon Dynamite.

I just had to go to the dentist to get a root canal, and I kept singing Steve Martin's Be a Dentist! song in my head.

i hate seen the movies you've mentioned and i love them all. these movies are about surviving and fighting for life and justice. i also love to watch big daddy, 50 first dates, braveheart, patriot, lord of the rings and many more. movies help me ease down my depression and stress. they are good ways to make me feel more relaxed.

Only a sight of cartoons show picks me up when I'm feeling down especially my favorite ones. Aside from eating well, cartoons or animes really boosts me up. Watching them amazes me and because of that I don't have a space to think about those problems that occurs.

The Color Purple always picks up my mood. It makes me laugh. It always puts a smile on my face. There is no other movie that can make me feel the way this one does.
