"Feel good" films - watch what you watch

I watched Honey again this weekend and was pleased that it lived up to my memory of it as a delightfully uplifting film. The TV guide had only given it two stars but we're often at odds over film choices. This was about a choreographer's dreams for herself and her community.

Looking through the bumper issue, there are loads of delightful films and programmes coming up. And while I love certain murder and mayhem programmes (the CSIs, Without a Trace, Law & Order SVU, Bones, Medium... I'm sure I'll kick myself later for forgetting other favourites), it's good to have some life affirming fare mixed in, too.

As you plot your viewing, reading and listening for the holidays, ask yourself "Is this going to make me feel better about myself? Will it inspire me?"

Sometimes, you won't want to be uplifted. Just remind yourself that you have a choice - you can even switch off that mind-numbingly frustrating show and enjoy some peace and quiet.
