What is your favourite film to watch when feeling down?
I personally like to get my mind off things and watch a film or read a book. For me, I like watching the old disney films, for example, my current favorites are The Huncback of Notre Dame & The Little Mermaid & Mulan. I especially love the mesmerising music. It lifts me up instantly and makes me feel I'm in a different world.
What about you?

@lovesickgirl Thank you for the suggestion! I'll check it out!
I love Twilight first part. It makes me feel good. Novel is great too.
@Actuallynobody017 yeah me too, it's so nostalgic and in a way soothing
@Actuallynobody017 I love those books...and the movies. I remember when I first discovered the books. I bought them all and stayed up all night reading all of them in one weekend. I was exhausted by the end but happy.
@Traveller52659 oh wow I never tried reading the novels, will definitely give it a go <3 thanks for sharing!
Mad max , john wick and XXX return of xander cage or the first one ( i dont like the one starting ice cube that much)
@h3ch oh these are wonderful! thank you so much for sharing, I'll definitely check out that last one bc I haven't watched it
@h3ch ooooh i love mad max too! I havent watched jhon wick 😓😶 i feel like it's gonna ruin neo for me 😂
School of Rock. I've seen it 20 times and it never fails to make me smile.
@Loriannpen I adore it to bits too! Never gets old ~
@MayaCloud....It's always been Divergent.
@Allnaturalnuttella101 Thank you for your suggestion, I'll definetely check it out!
The old classics like Sleeping Beauty, my absolute best! So nostalgic. Mulan aswell, Toy Story, Cinderella, Alice in Wonderland (the late 1900s ones).

HECK YEAH MULAN!!!! that's one of my favorite movies, it's so nostalgic! whenever i'm feeling down my go-to movies/tv shows are disney princess movies (especially mulan!), phineas and ferb, bojack horseman, and the good place!
@PrettyPapillon4354 Oh these are the closest to my heart ♥♥♥♥ thank you for sharing!
@MayaCloud Omg, I love The Hunchback of Notre Dame. Frollo is such a unquie villian!
@IAMNOTTRAINEDFORTHIS Yes, exactly! Me too! Actually, Frollo is why I love watching the film over and over. I love the creative portrayal of the evil side through this character. For example, in the song 'hellfire,' the lyrics are self-explanatory especially when he says "it's not my fault if in god's plan, he made the devil so much stronger than the man." I keep reflecting on that a lot and realised that much of our helplessness and misery stem from us not taking the initiative and not taking the responsibility of our actions.
Plus, for some reason, I love Frollo's voice a lot--and the accent is very interesting. I think he has the same accent that Rapunzel's mother has. I don't know why evil characters always speak in either an American accent with a Posh, British underlying feeling, or in a pure British accent.
This is also very random, but every time I watch the film I keep waiting for that moment when Frollo says to Pheobus, showing disapproval of Esmeralda's dancing, "look at this dispicable scenery," and Pheobus says "yes, sir!" That always makes me laugh so hard 😅😂😂
It varies depending on my mood, but some movies that I've always liked include:
-Mean Girls
-My Fair Lady
-Rush Hour
-Sister Act
-The Sound of Music
@TheAutumnWitch Thank you for sharing! I'm only familiar with mean girls, such a classic in those times, and I'll definitely check out the rest, they seem pretty cool!
@TheAutumnWitch - First I LOVE your screen name!
Second, I was raised on musicals so My Fair Lady is a favorite of mine as well. Also, love The Sound of Music. Have you ever seen Fiddler on the Roof? The King and I starring Yul Brynner and Deborah Kerr? And who could forget White Christmas?
@Traveller52659
Thank you! 
I was raised on musicals, too. I haven't watched Fiddler on the Roof or White Christmas yet, but I have enjoyed The King and I in addition to the aforementioned ones. 
@MayaCloud Hello! I personally love watching Friends, or The Little Mermaid. Anything that makes me laugh really helps!
my number one pick usually changes all the time but pride & prejudice has been my go-to lately. also yes to any old animated disney movies!
@peaceandblessings Ah pride & prejudice used to be alright with me until I read the novel, only then I fell in love with the film even more, even though the reading experience is better, but still the beautiful scenes in the film are so illustrious and enchanting, I personally find it very soothing, thank you for sharing!
@MayaCloud i have been dying to read the book! once i finish my final exams i'll finally have more time to pick up reading for pleasure again. i love a lot of the cinematic shots too and especially the music, so good.
@peaceandblessings Good luck on your exams! Yes the book will give you a x10000 better experience watching the film I highly recommend it! Ah yes me too I do appreciate everything in those shots even if I've watched the film before I'll still find myself discovering new coordinations between the colours, lighting, costumes, people's voices and accents, and everything ♥
@MayaCloud Now that I've finally finished all my exams I can read the book! And yes you described it perfectly, like every time I watch it there's a new little detail I realize I missed the first time watching. Thank you for replying btw (:
@peaceandblessings Pleased to hear! Enjoy reading and take a good break, you deserve it ♥
@MayaCloud which version of Pride and Prejudice? It's been done so many times.
@Traveller52659 The one from 2005 with Keira Knightley is my fav
