The Best Feel Good Movies on Netflix

Below are some feel good movies on Netflix we have gathered for your relaxation;

1. Dumplin‘

Dumplin’ epitomizes sweetness. Despite her mother being a beauty queen, Danielle Macdonald, a small-town Texas girl, enters the local pageant in this coming-of-age tale. But, she also picks up some valuable life lessons about value.

The film is replete with characters and features a few standout components that elevate nearly everything, such as Jennifer Aniston, lavish costumes, and Dolly Parton songs. It deserves a crown because of its warmth and heart.

2. Hunt for the Wilderpeople

In Taika Waititi’s 2016 film, Julian Dennison from Deadpool 2 and Sam Neill from Jurassic Park play an unlikely family that is united by loss and a life on the run.

After being sent to live with Hector (Neill) and his wife Bella, Ricky (Dennison), a juvenile offender, ends up butting heads with Bella after she unexpectedly dies. He follows Ricky as he flees from home, and they decide to live in the New Zealand bush and never return to civilization.

Almost everyone is upset by this decision, but most of all the government, which follows Ricky and Hector across the wilderness and makes threats to permanently split them up.

3. Jingle Jangle

Put aside your differences and enjoy Jingle Jangle, a charming original musical about toys, family, and inherited mechanical inventiveness.

Starring as Jeronicus Jangle, a once-talented toymaker who believes he’s lost everything, is Forest Whitaker.

However, his granddaughter Journey (newcomer Madalen Mills) and daughter Jessica (literally, Disney princess Anika Noni Rose) reappear in his life to rekindle the magic that binds their family together.

4. The Forty-Year-Old Version

Meet the incredibly relatable Radha Blank in this semi-autobiographical comedy, which she also wrote and directed. She raps like a total badass.

The Forty-Year-Old Version, a play about a middle-aged playwright going through an artistic crisis, approaches its difficult subjects of ambition, identity, racism, and aging with the irreverent tenacity expected of its audacious auteur.

You’ll be moved by Blank’s more personal moments of introspection and chuckle as she effortlessly delivers razor-sharp lines. 

5. Kiss the Ground

Kiss the Ground demonstrates that we haven’t reached a point of no return, despite factory farming practices that harm the environment, human-caused climate change, and the degradation of our food-bearing soils.

Regenerative agriculture, smaller-scale farming, and the restoration of soil deficient in nutrients and microbes are not only viable but also being pursued by a growing number of people as a means of healing the planet.

Kiss the Ground, which includes farmers, specialists, environmentally conscious celebrities, and activists, explains the problems that affect the earth beneath our feet and the various ways that people can defy these trends to improve the health of the plants, the soil, and the planet. 

6. Paddington

Drawn from the bestselling children’s books by Michael Bond, Paddington is a much-loved comedy that combines a stellar live-action cast with a charming computer-generated bear (voiced by Ben Whishaw) who loves marmalade and wears a blue coat.

Reluctantly, the Brown family takes in the titular bear, who is traveling from the Peruvian jungles to London.

But when cultures collide, an overzealous taxidermist who is ruthlessly determined to make him her next specimen threatens Paddington’s freedom, in fact, his very life! Rewatchable, Paddington is a cheerful delight full of whimsy, wit, and warmth. 

7. Over the Moon

Watching Over the Moon is similar to watching a colorful bath bomb fizz in that it’s visually pleasing and reassuring.

Following the death of her mother, Fei Fei, a Chinese girl in this Netflix animation, embarks on a celestial journey to meet Chang’e, the moon goddess.

Over the Moon not only has fantastical imagery but also a heartfelt and poignant message about moving on. I couldn’t help but feel a little lighter when the credits started to roll. 

8. Homecoming: A Film by Beyoncé

We rarely get to see Beyoncé behind the scenes, so even though Homecoming tempers that desire, it still satisfies it to a great extent.

The movie follows the iconic singer as she plays a surprise performance at Coachella 2018—her biggest performance since giving birth to twins Sir and Rumi.

Watching her take the stage like a phoenix rising over two hours, you can appreciate the show’s high points and the enthusiasm of the crowd at historically Black colleges around the nation.

9. Begin Again

Begin Again does not have a happy beginning, much like most of John Carney’s films. Keira Knightley plays a talented songwriter.

Whose dirtbag boyfriend became famous and left her in his wake, and Mark Ruffalo plays a struggling music producer who hasn’t been able to find a new voice in years.

The power of music begins to transform these two depressed sacks’ lives and their growing friendship when they decide to record a live album of their street performances in New York City.

10. Dolemite Is My Name

Dolemite Is My Name is Netflix’s lightning bolt moment. Eddie Murphy is finally making his long-overdue return in a substantial leading role.

And then there’s the part and the narrative itself—a humorous autobiographical sketch of a man named Rudy Ray Moore.

Discover how the renowned actor, singer, and comedian got his start in stand-up comedy before going on to define some of the most iconic Blaxploitation epics of the 1970s, beginning with Dolemite.

Netflix or any other streaming service can’t match this fun, hilarious, and incredibly talented cast film.
