When you're down

I have compiled a list of films to watch when you are feeling down. Whether you want something to pick you up, let you escape or to get the tears out because lets face it, that always makes one feel better. Let's get started...

Number 1: Lilo and Stitch (2002)
This Disney film tells the tale of an alien called Stitch and a little earth girl called Lilo. It tells the story of how they help each other and those around them with their issues. This one is definitely going to get the those tears out, if it doesn't I don't understand your brain. However, after the multiple emotional teary moments it has an uplifting and very happy (yet still tearful) ending.

Number 2: The Lego Movie (2014)
It literally tells you that everything is awesome (try and tell me that you didn't sing that). This very funny film has punchy jokes, a killer song, and the voice of Morgan Freeman throughout most of it. How could it not lift you up when you're down?

Number 3: Say Anything (1989)
Absolute classic that will lift you and your expectations of men way way up. The story of blossoming young love between Lloyd and Dianne will let you escape whatever is going on in your life, even a hard break up believe it or not.

Number 4: Ghostbusters (1984)
Ok, if that song doesn't lift you up I don't know what will. It's just a fun film about a group of friends that run around NYC catching the ghosts that plague the city. A bit of romance is sprinkled in there among the the sarcasm and sliming to...I don't know, maybe because all films have a romance...I just like Bill Murray chasing Sigourney Weaver ok, it's funny.

Number 5: Back to The Future (all of them, the 1985, 1989, 1990)
The story of time travelling Marty McFly and Doc Brown as they go back and forth between past, present and future (although not anymore technically). This popular 80's franchise could lift me up from pretty much any funk I am going through in that moment, Marty is just so cute and it's just so funny, I love it.

Ok, so if you couldn't tell that I am literally in love with the 80's and so many of the films made in that decade then you clearly are blind and I apologise. Hopefully, this list will help lift you out of the funk you may have found yourself in. But y'know you could watch a majority of these films even when you aren't feeling funky, maybe leave out Lilo and Stitch (it's very sad in the middle but actually bring you down if you don't need to cry). Anyway, thanks for reading.
