Someone I know has just suffred a terrible loss, so we started an uplifting movie night.
So far the big hits were "Moonstruck" , "The Snapper" and "About A Boy". Can you recommend anything in the same vein?
Thanks in advance.

You need some good, funny movies to watch!
When Harry Met Sally
While You Were Sleeping
Notting Hill
Love Actually
Four Weddings and a Funeral (my favorite!)
My Best Friend's Wedding
Groundhog Day
The Bridget Jones movies
BIlly Elliot (another favorite of mine!)
Devil Wears Prada
Hope this helps!

I know it's confusing - but at the beginning of the film, the jet engine was "supposed" to have landed in Donnie's room and killed him - it didn't for some reason, so the rest of the film depicts this "tangent universe", with weird events, and hints that maybe something's not right with the world. The images that Donnie sees, are the result of ripples in space-time, and are caused by the corruption of the timeline. At the end of the film, there is a wormhole that the jet engine travels through, back in time to 28 days earlier, and crashes into the bedroom, killing Donnie and setting things right. Frank is an imaginary friend who guides Donnie and helps him navigate the weird timestream - he somehow prophesized his own (?) death - (or the death of a guy named Frank wearing a similar costume). This Frank died because Donnie survived the accident - at the end of the film we see that since Donnie died, he's alive, as he's supposed to be. It's a big confusing time-travel paradox. Did you ever wonder how things would turn out differently if you were running 5 minutes late - you could get hit by a car and be badly injured. Or if you took the wrong turn or made the wrong choice sometime in your life, how would it be different? It's something like that.

Charly is a great movie to cry to...Some years ago, I also went through a terrible loss of my husband.. I later re-married a nice man who had also lost his wife and son... we do understand how it is... For an uplifting movie... there are many great ones.. try Pride and Predjudice among a few others already mentioned! Good luck!
