Do you have a bad mood? Or is it depressing? Or are you in a funk? Have you ever felt lost and alone around the holidays? Is it possible that I’ve asked too many questions in a row?
So, you’re in need of a pick-me-up movie experience right now. There’s some popcorn, some company, and a couple of movies waiting in line. In reality, the world of cinema provides a plethora of films for you to choose from.
1. Midnight In Paris
Gil and Inez accompany her parents on a business trip to Paris as a tag-along holiday. Gil is a successful Hollywood screenwriter, but his debut novel is proving difficult. He falls in love with the city and believes that he and Inez should settle there once they marry, but Inez does not share his romantic views of the city or his belief that the 1920s were the Golden Age. When Inez goes out dancing with her pals, Gil goes for a midnight stroll and stumbles upon what could be the ultimate source of creative inspiration. Gil’s nighttime walks in Paris could bring him closer to the city’s heart, but further away from the woman, he’s about to marry.
2. Love Actually
The characters are falling in love, falling out of love, some with the right people, some with the wrong people, some yearning for an affair, and some in bereavement; it’s a microcosm of reality. It all starts with love and ends with love. They have a lot of flirting going on. They’re all flirting with the idea of falling in love. Love is the subject at all ages and social levels. Throughout the film, there is a hotchpotch of romantic and brotherly affection. The majority of this film was shot in London during the Christmas season, and the protagonists all concluded up on a positive note at Heathrow Airport.
3. Eat Pray Love
Liz Gilbert had everything a modern woman should aspire to – a husband, a home, and a great business – yet, like so many other women, she was lost, confused, and seeking for what she truly desired in life. Gilbert, just divorced and at a crossroads in her life, takes a risk and risks everything to transform her life, starting on a journey around the world that turns into a search for self-discovery. She discovers the true pleasure of sustenance via food in Italy, the power of prayer in India, and, finally and surprisingly, the inner serenity and balance of true love in Bali during her travels.
4. You’ve Got Mail
The owner of a huge bookstore chain begins to drive away from a tiny local bookstore owner. In the meantime, they’ve been corresponding via the internet without knowing who the other is.

He’ll have to take care of it.

Babe unites with motherly border collie Fly and discovers that he can herd sheep as well, almost avoiding his fate as Christmas dinner when Farmer Hoggett decides to show him at the next fair.
