Heart-Warming Movies

Films that give you that warm fuzzy feeling, that touches your soul.. and are uplifting..

1. Bicentennial Man 1999 - is a sci fi comedy drama starring Robin Williams.. the film is based on a robot named Andrew as he is introduced to the Martin family home.. and while he is met with many different reactions by the family members he quickly becomes part of the family.. especially with "Little Miss" Amanda.. This film is so much more than just a story about a well rounded highly intelligent robot.. Andrew's story is one that explores that of basic humanity, prejudice, slavery, freedoms, conformity, happiness and morality.. including the right to love and die as one wishes.. I found the film to be heart warming, funny and insightful.. I highly recommend this film.. and bring the Kleenex because I cried more than once.. and you will too.. a must see movie for all ages..

2. Mrs. Doubtfire 1993 - is a hilariously funny comedy drama based a divorced actor (Robin Williams) who dresses up as a female to be able to take a position working for his ex-wife (Sally Field) as a housekeeper so that he will be able to interact with his three children.. Although the film is tremendously funny..it deals with very real subject matter including divorce and parental separation.. This movie will forever be one of my favorite Robin Williams films.. Mrs. Doubtfire is a charming movie for the whole family.. and one that will definitely make you smile..

3. City of Angels 1998 - is a romantic drama film.. and is based on an angel (Nicolas Cage) who falls in love with a mortal doctor (Meg Ryan).. He decides to make the transition from immortality as an angel to discover the human experience and so that he can be with her.. This film is extremely heartwarming and yet gut wrenching all at the same time..   Truly love this film..

4. Miracles from Heaven 2016 - is a Christian drama based on the book Miracles from Heaven by Christy Beam.. A true life story which tells of her young daughter who after a near death experience was cured from an incurable disease..  This film has an outstanding cast that includes Jennifer Garner who plays the mom, Kylie Rogers the little girl..Queen Latifah and many others..  This film is truly uplifting food for the soul.. as well as a real tear-jerker..  A real must see movie for the whole family..

5. Our Souls at Night 2017 - is a charming romantic drama based on a book by the same name written by Kent Haruf..  The film follows Addie a widow (Jane Fonda) who lives near Louis a widower (Robert Redford).. One night Addie gets up the nerve to visit Louis and suggest that they spend the night together.. in an effort to counter their loneliness.. After he thinks about it.. and they soon start spending time together.. they share stories back and forth .. However when Addie's son drops her grandson off after his marriage has fallen apart.. Louis offers Addie his help to take care of the little boy.. This movie is really a charming love story..   Definitely loved it..
