I'm guessing sarahell's suggestions are jokes based on the weirdness of recommending a film about an alcoholic as a 'nice' film? But that's not the whole story w/ what happens in Harvey, so it's kind of misleading. Though, as I said before, personally I do think it's a sad film.

Saw the trailer for this just today...apols...

i find movies about genocide quite nice, not being a victim of genocide or attempted genocide is quite emotionally uplifting.

The documentary the eagle huntress about eagle hunting (ie hunting with eagles) among Mongolian nomadic tribes is a nice film

I don't normally go to these inspirational docs but it was free and in my hungover state it did the trick. It's about this 13yo girl who becomes a master eagle hunter despite this being a proscribed role for women - she's a fucking hero tbh, wrangling this avian almost as big as she is. I could have done without the drippy sia theme song but it is that kind of film let's face it, or as close as a film about heading into some of the harshest conditions imaginable to kill foxes can be
