Ten feel good movies to watch in these dark times

1

2

But during a party held for the visiting US ambassador, a power cut causes the dish to lose contact with Apollo 11. Will they be able to sort the problem out in time for the landing, or are they about to fluff up their big moment?

3
How to Steal A Million
The daughter (Audrey Hepburn) of a wealthy Frenchman (Hugh Griffith) who creates counterfeit art learns her father is in danger of being exposed as a crook. She decides to steal the family's forged Cellini sculpture from a museum before experts can examine it and enlists a society burglar (Peter O'Toole) to help her.

4

He finds himself forced once again after firing him, to hire drunken actor Reginald Kincaid (Michael Caine) to be Sherlock Homes.

5
Big Trouble
How to describe this film based on the book by Dave Barry. Ok –
In a high-school game of "Killer", Matt Arnold has to "kill" classmate Jenny Herk with a water pistol, and decides to do it at her home. Also there to assassinate Arthur Herk, are a couple of out of town hitmen. When their attempts crosses paths, Chaos happens. Eliot Arnold, Matt's father arrives to collect his son and immediately feels a mutual attraction to Anne Herk, Jenny's mother. Arthur visits an arms dealer and ends up buying suitcase nuclear bomb thinking he has bought a Rocket – and well, it gets more crazy from there on.
The film had the bad luck to be due to be released just after 9-11 and was held until the next year and bombed. Don’t be put off, it’s a funny film.

The Big Wedding
To the amusement of their adult children and friends, long divorced couple Don and Ellie Griffin are forced to play the happy couple for the sake of their adopted son's wedding after his ultra-conservative biological mother unexpectedly decides to fly across the world to attend.

10
