Little Miss Sunshine

Directed by Valerie Faris and Jonathan Dayton. Starring Abigail Breslin, Toni Collette, Greg Kinnear

Perhaps the best film about how the process is more important than the result. Because if you, like the film's main character, suddenly have the idea of becoming Little Miss Sunshine and the entire family of a loser father, an impulsive mother, a suicidal uncle, a brother who has taken a vow of silence, and an addict grandfather are planning on helping you, then all you have to do is just enjoy the process.

The Intouchables

Directed by Olivier Nakache and Éric Toledano. Starring François Cluzet, Omar Sy

When it comes to life-affirming films, this one comes to mind as one of the first. The directors and actors succeeded in creating a witty, funny and charming film. It is a perfect mixture of drama and comedy in the story of two people so different from each other. If you have not seen it yet, put everything aside and go watch it!

Green Book

Directed by Peter Farrelly. Starring Viggo Mortensen, Mahershala Ali

A kind, heartfelt, slightly sad story with a happy ending. Three Academy Awards and two nominations, coupled with the wonderful duo of Viggo Mortensen and Mahershala Ali. A black pianist hires an Italian-American as his driver for a tour around the southern states. The driver is definitely not a member of high society, but he is great at solving problems.

Knockin' on Heaven's Door

Directed by Thomas Jahn. Starring Til Schweiger, Jan Josef Liefers

If you read the film's description about the story of two terminally ill friends who escape the hospital and get loose, it may not seem life-affirming at all. But the cinematography, acting and delivery are so great that after watching it, you start to appreciate every moment of your life. And you also will want to go to the sea.

Begin Again

Directed by John Carney. Starring Keira Knightley, Mark Ruffalo

Greta is going through a tough time after breaking up with the guy she loves. She's feeling down and out when she stumbles into a bar and runs into Dan, the formerly successful record label executive. They start talking and hit it off, bonding over their love for music. Suddenly, they come up with the idea to record their own album. They know they don't have money, musicians, or instruments, but they're not discouraged. Instead, they see this as an opportunity to get creative and use all of New York as their recording studio.
