7 Greatest Feel-Good Movies Ever, Ranked: ‘The Princess Bride’ and More
‘The Cabin in the Woods’ (2012)
Rotten Tomatoes score: 92 percent
Five unsuspecting college students arrive at a remote cabin in the woods for a weekend getaway. It’s the perfect setup for a horror movie — a little too perfect. As nightmares begin to unfold before them, they are totally unaware that a group of scientists is watching their every move and pulling all the strings. But even deeper underneath that is a darker plot that has far-reaching consequences for the world.
The Cabin in the Woods is a satirical take on various horror film stereotypes that is itself a fun (and funny) horror romp in its own right. Led by performances from Chris Hemsworth, Kristen Connolly, Jesse Williams and Bradley Whitford, The Cabin and the Woods has a great cast, tight script and sharp sense of humor.
‘Miracle On 34th Street’ (1947)
Rotten Tomatoes score: 96 percent
It might only be November, but it’s never too early to get into the holiday spirit. Throw on the classic Miracle on 34th Street and cozy into the winter festivities with this tale about an elderly man named Kris Kringle (Edmund Gwenn) who fills in for a Macy’s Santa Claus in Midtown Manhattan. Kringle is a hit, but when he starts claiming that he really is Saint Nick, a legal battle ensues over both his sanity and his identity.
An annual Christmas favorite for many, this warm, funny film is not just a great holiday staple but also a great film that manages to deftly weave humor with a gentle sentimentality that never becomes mawkish. It’s also a very smart film that considers questions of faith and ends with no conclusive answers, instead asking its audience to choose what they believe.
‘The Princess Bride’ (1987)
Rotten Tomatoes score: 96 percent
A young boy (Fred Savage) sick in bed is told a fairytale by his grandfather (Peter Falk), about a farmhand named Westley (Cary Elwes) and a princess named Buttercup (Robin Wright) who fall madly in love. While Westley seeks his fortune to marry her, he is presumed dead, and Buttercup is instead betrothed to the awful Prince Humperdink (Chris Sarandon). When Westley returns, he must go through many obstacles to win his love back.
