Hi Nisandeh,
Thanks for the blog. For a while now it makes my mornings shine even if its raining!
I really love feelgood-movies, so I was very happy with the tips you gave. Here are some films I think you would enjoy (in no particular order):
GATTACA (1997 - USA) About the fact that how you were brought up to think about your health and possibilities does not have to limit you…
AS IT IS IN HEAVEN (2004 - Sweden) About an famous conductor who gets his students to reach their full potential not only on the stage.
GROUNDHOG DAY (1993 - USA) About how a different approach can change it all…
DEAD POET SOCIETY (1989 - USA) About a English teacher who gets his students to live life deliberate.
ADAPTATION (2002 - USA) About passions.
ETERNAL SUNSHINE OF THE SPOTLESS MIND (2004 - USA) About relationships.
CASHBACK (2006 - USA) About the value of time.
All the best, Gemma Plum
Gemma, thanks so much for this. I’ve seen most but not Gattaca or Adaptation or Cashback. Which one of those is your favorite?
