The weather here is horrid. It's pouring down! If it doesn't improve I need a good film to watch later on.
For a chick flick there's loads I'd recommend but for now I'll go with
- In Her Shoes.
The family film I like at the mo is Alexander and the terrible, horrible, no good, very bad day.
What's your feel good film when it's horrid outside. |

'Beverley Hill-Billies'
You simply get the feeling that they had so much fun making it, & the bloopers at the end
Diedrich Bader playing Jethro & Jethrina, with Rob Schneider giggling at the snorting....
Smokey & The Bandit (first one)
Again, just so much fun
Waynes World?
Mike (Shrek) Myers as Wayne, & the babelicious Tia Carrera
Again, just good fun!!!
Granted, none of the films are mentally stimulating, but a chuckle on a wet afternoon
American Grafitti????
The first (proper) George Lucas film
Harrison Fords first real role (driving the black '55)
Richard Dreyfuss (looking very young)
Charles Martin Smith (Untouchables)
And of course, Wolfman Jack, playing that great music
Oh!!, & some beautiful cars |

Never seen American Graffiti.
Untouchables I love. One of my favourites.
Smokey & The Bandit - yep iconic film.
Wayne's World - always makes me laugh.
I want a good chuckle like you say, just easy viewing. |

THX1138 was a proper film and if you check out the plate on the 32 coupe, guess what it is?....if you want an indication of how important the film is to lucas, he named his sound technology systems THX, partly in homage to the film that launched his career and essentially paved the way for him to finally shoot Star Wars 
As for the original OP- a bit of a curve ball that fell under the radar for most people- 'Best Man Down'.
Everyone I've recommended it to has came back and said its brilliant (most of them ended up in tears too) |

"The world according to garp is a great film"
^ This is very true...
Was gonna suggest a Hitchcock classic, Rear Window, North By NorthWest, Notorious or Lifeboat...
Not exactly feel good but all brilliant

A lot of great films mentioned, I shall have to look up some of the others.
Noone has mentioned Bill and Ted yet with a young keanu Reeves, nor indeed any Mel Brooks film (dead and loving it, Robin hood, men in tights, and blazing saddles are excellent for feel good). Also, if you're into anime, my neighbour totoro and kiki's delivery service from studio ghibli |

"Either coyote ugly or A knights tale for me. Perhaps I need to get out more?!! Lol"
Both great films. I'd watch Coyote Ugly just to gaze at Adam Garcia.
I watched Stand by Me in the end / great film. I have loads more to watch now from this thread. |

Yes, l know about the licence plate on (Paul LeMat) Jon Milners '32 Coupe, & its significance
I meant first 'proper' film, with regard to budget, cast, promotion & sheer 'size' of the production
Still one of my favourite films, since l first saw it about 1985
Did you know that the black '55 that Harrison Ford drives was also used in 'Two LaneBlacktop' (starring Dennis Wilson, JamesTaylor & Warren Oates)
Plus, the '49 Mercury coupe driven by The Pharoahs gang in Grafitti is (or was, anyway) owned by Brian Setzer of The Stray Cats, & appeared in several of their music videos |

"Point Break. Patrick Swayze was awesome.
For an odd one, try Bagdad Cafe. Lovely little understated film."
Bagdad cafe is brilliant, very uplifting. I just watched the Secret Life of Walter Mitty, felt a warm fuzzy glow after |

"Love Actually..... watched it last night,,, "
Good choice ! Love that film. It's right about airports being places where you see lots of love and hugs. |

It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World - a great old classic, hilarious and with big names of the 50s.
Robin Hood - Men in Tights - another rib tickler
Dumb and Dumber - so ridiculous you just HAVE to laugh. The line about the Rocky Mountains is my favourite |
