How about "What's Up Doc "(1972) with Barbara Streisand and Ryan O'Neal? G rated, when the G rating actually meant something for one and all! Hilarious screwball comedy.
I saw that movie about 30 times. I worked in a movie theater when it was playing. About screening #15, I realized the Chinese Music being played on Xylophone and other instruments in the Chinatown sequence was actually "The Battle Hymn of the Republic."
I recommend "Holes" (2003). While it is geared toward and about teens, it's one of those great stories where a number of loose ends come together, and the cast includes Eartha Kitt, Sigourney Weaver, Jon Voight, Henry Winkler, and a few others you might recognize. Rated PG.
In Swedish with sub-titles. My wife was reluctant to watch it with me because it is in Swedish with sub-titles, and she knew/feared it centered upon SAAB automobiles. It actually centers upon a cranky old man (with a well hidden heart of gold) who loves his SAAB automobiles.
The movie is long but it never feels slow or plodding. At the end, after wiping away some tears, she declared it may be the best movie she had ever seen.
2011: Searching for Sugar Man (a documentary about a music cultural icon in South Africa where he was bigger than The Beatles and whose lyrics are more revered than those of Bob Dylan) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Searching_for_Sugar_Man
2016: Life, Animated (a documentary. Life, Animated is based on journalist Ron Suskind's 2014 book Life, Animated: A Story of Sidekicks, Heroes, and Autism, which tells the story of his son, Owen Suskind who struggled with autism and learned how to communicate with the outside world through his love of Disney Films.) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Life,_Animated
with Stars: Harrison Ford, Blake Lively, Michiel Huisman
A young woman, born at the turn of the 20th century, is rendered ageless after an accident. After many solitary years, she meets a man who complicates the eternal life she has settled into.
Anyway, I am just wondering if you would please list your favorite movies made after 2000 of any genre that, as the title says, made you feel good and/or happy.

(And the great majority of those were made before 2010.) Btw, two more that I thought of that I like very much:
Anyway, thanks again! (And later this week or next, I will compile a new list of movies for me to try based on all your recommendations! )
LOL, and yet, people are still ignoring your request - - - and the entire raison d'être for the thread - - - by listing pre-2000 movies, some as early as the 1930s!
Maybe I'll start a new thread so they'll have some place to list these older movies.
