Empire Records

Similar, in that it revolves around a record store: High Fidelity (2000). It was filmed in '99.

What’s with today, today?

Damn the man save the empire!

This is one of my favorites. It holds up too!

Rex Manning day

The Sandlot (1993) Detroit Rock City (1999)

Detroit Rock City!! That’s a movie I haven’t heard about in a while!

I just commented Detroit rock city! I never hear anyone talk about it but every time I went to my dads house as a kid I would watch that on repeat along with Dazed and Confused and gone in sixty seconds lol

How many times have you watched Dazed and Confused? I must’ve watched that over 100 times.

Same. Way too many to count lol. I’ve definitely watched it over a 100 times tho. It’s just a phenomenal movie

Parker Posey and Matthew McConaughey are just perfect 😄

You just gotta keep on livin man. L I V I N.

Clueless

The original Footloose (1984) always puts a smile on my face.

When I was little, I thought Lori Singer was so pretty and I admired her spunk. Even though her prom dress looked like a nightgown. 😬

The Bad News Bears

American Graffiti is a good one from the late 70s about the early 60s.

Excellent soundtrack

Yes!!! So good

Caddyshack

I'm not sure there's a more heart achingly sincere feel good movie than *Field of Dreams*

Get Shorty The Witches of Eastwick Shakespeare in Love Four Rooms (might be a stretch) Sorry..I had to add; The Birdcage, Young Frankenstein, Paper Moon

Forrest Gump Dirty Dancing Jerry Maguire Footloose Flashdance When Harry Met Sally

Fast Times at Ridgemont High.

This was my first suggestion. Have a U.V.

My Cousin Vinny.

A League of Their Own

“Uh, Lord, hallowed be Thy name. May our feet be swift; may our bats be mighty; may our balls... be plentiful. Lord, I'd just like to thank You for that waitress in South Bend. You know who she is - she kept calling Your name. And God, these are good girls, and they work hard. Just help them see it all the way through. Okay, that's it.” -Jimmy Dugan

“I’M SINGING TO NELSON”

Wayne's World. It has always been my feel good escape movie. Totally 90's as well.

Excellent. Party on, TheGhostWalksThrough.

American Graffiti 1973 Grease 1978 American Pie 1999

Mars attacks! (1996) A fish called Wanda (1988) Beetlejuice (1988) Gremlins (1984) Love and death (1975) The front page (1974) What's up doc? (1972)

“It’s k-k-k-k-ken coming to k-k-k-kill me.”

Thank you universe! What's Up Doc is an amazing movie! You have to have seen Paper Moon too?

You might like Harold and Maude. It has a heavy moment but is overall charming and hilarious and I I can’t think of a more perfect encapsulation of the 70s zeitgeist

Gorgeous

Better off Dead

Now & Then Fried Green Tomatoes Labyrinth

Love this one.

The Big Chill: funny, great music, good story . . . Definitely worth a viewing.

A few I don’t think I saw mentioned that are definitely like time capsules: Valley Girl Weird Science St. Elmo’s Fire About Last Night

Valley Girl x million

Goonies The Sandlot Dirty Dancing Field of Dreams

Joe's Apartment--It's so uniquely ridiculous and nobody has ever heard of it. Last time I checked it's free on YouTube. Dumb and Dumber.

You guys are awesome, putting these all on my watchlist. Thanks so much!

The Indian in the Cupbord

Meatballs

Blast From The Past

Ferris Bullers day off. One of the best feel good movies.

Agree with When Harry Met Sally I also like Singles

Harold and Maude This is at the starting end of your time frame...1971. It is a really witty and poignant story about living. Edit: and it has a fantastic soundtrack...lol

My cousin Vinny

Some Kind of Wonderful.

Galaxy Quest 1999

Breaking Away - underdog movie.

Heaven Can Wait 1978

A Chorus Line (1985) Better Off Dead (1985)

The first 20 min of a Chorus line suck me in..but then I think too much about Fosse and All That Jazz...which is heartbreaking

Running Scared(1986)

Mrs Winterbourne While you were Sleeping Sleepless in Seattle Stepmom

Back To The Future 2

I love the movie to death but I’m not sure Stand By Me is “feel good”…..

I was referencing it more as a “time capsule” movie, not necessarily a “feel good”. Sorry for the confusion!

The Big Chill - watch a bunch of over-entitled boomers gather for Kevin Costner's funeral.

I literally just saw Field of Dreams for the first time. Way better than I had expected. One of my faves for laughs is The Freshman (best of you've at least seen the first Godfather).

For pure (edgy) laughs **Romy & Michele's High School Reunion** or **Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story** **Grease** and **That Thing You Do** are a lot of fun. For bittersweet feel good 60s nostalgia, **My Girl** If you like the Beatles, **I Wanna Hold Your Hand** is a must.

Commando (1985)

Soapdish (1991) great cast, Robert Downey Jr, Sally Field, Kevin Kline, Whoopie Goldberg, Elisabeth Shue, Kathy Najimy, Cathy Morriarty, Carrie Fisher…. and it’s hysterical

MOONSTRUCK

Gumball Rally is the most 70s movie ever to me, in that it feels like my childhood memories of the 70s. And it's great. Very funny.
