The question is pretty straight forward and simple: "What movie would watch over and over on a deserted island?" Simple right? Not so much after 15 seconds of thinking about this question. Basically this has caused a horrible overload of possibilities in my head. I could watch classics ranging from The Gladiator, to Pulp Fiction, Man on the Moon and of course, The Lion King. However, how would I feel after watching these movies repeatedly on an island? The first couple of times maybe I would go back to building my raft not thinking much of it, but after a few more "movie sessions" of Scarface, I think I would stop building a raft and start building a skyscraper so I can jump head first from it.
And so, I started to think about the movies that have made me feel good. Movies that I can think about it 2 minutes or 2 days later and smile. And for that type of reaction, the budget size does not matter, nor does big name cast, special effects, etc. The only thing needed is a funny, different story and some goofy characters.
That is when I designed my foolproof list of 11 feel good movies. Movies that during the 90 minutes or so you will have a smile on your face and forget that you are probably going to die alone and very soon. Basically everyone should carry at least ONE of these movies any time they are going to travel (especially if you are going on a FEDEX plane).
11. There's Something About Mary
10. 40 Year Old Virgin
9. Beverly Hills Cop
8. Happy Gilmore
7. Blue Streak
6. Money Talks
5. History of the World
4. Old School
3. Dumb and Dumber
2. Superbad
1. Wedding Crashers
I am sure most people will disagree with a few of these movies. Sure most of them displays an exaggerated amount of sophomoric behavior, but that is what makes them great. And trust me, I have done extensive research and this list is foolproof!!
