To Watch List 2017: Feel Good movies

Hallooooooooo!!!!!

This is the final post in the long lists of anticipated movies to be released in 2017. As with most things in life, you'd like to end things on a positive note. In this case, with the feel good movies. These films have a range between Disney and romcom with a dash of drama. But over all, at the end of each film, you are left with a good feeling. Can't go wrong, right?^^


I hope that this list can give you some inspiration! I've also covered my most anticipated superhero movies, dramas part 1 and 2, adventurous types, war films, sci fi, action and animated movies part 1 and 2 for 2017. In case you're interested ;)

Then, let's get goin'!

Rules Don't Apply - 10 March 2017 (UK)

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1974420/?ref_=ttfc_fc_tt
Director: Warren Beatty
Cast: Lily Collins, Martin Sheen, Alden Ehrenreich, ...
Duration: 2h 7min
Synopsis: (via IMDb) An aspiring young actress (Lily Collins) and her ambitious young driver (Alden Ehrenreich) struggle hopefully with the absurd eccentricities of the wildly unpredictable billionaire, Howard Hughes, (Warren Beatty) for whom they work. It's Hollywood, 1958. Small town beauty queen, songwriter, and devout Baptist virgin Marla Mabrey (Collins), under contract to the infamous Howard Hughes (Beatty), arrives in Los Angeles. At the airport, she meets her driver Frank Forbes (Ehrenreich), who is engaged to be married to his 7th grade sweetheart and is a deeply religious Methodist. Their instant attraction not only puts their religious convictions to the test, but also defies Hughes' #1 rule: no employee is allowed to have any relationship whatsoever with a contract actress. Hughes' behavior intersects with Marla and Frank in very separate and unexpected ways, and as they are drawn deeper into his bizarre world, their values are challenged and their lives are changed.

She finds herself seated at the 'random' table in the back of the ballroom with a disparate group of strangers, most of whom should have known to just send regrets (but not before sending something nice off the registry). As everyone's secrets are revealed, Eloise learns a thing or two from the denizens of Table 19. Friendships - and even a little romance - can happen under the most unlikely circumstances.
