We all have bad days and we all have certain things that comfort us during bad days! Some of us have books we like to read or songs we can listen to, and some of us turn to movies to occupy our minds. Now, this comfort movie might not be our favorite movie, but it's the one we turn to when we need it.

For this article I asked my friends and family on social media what their "go to" movie is when having a bad day. Here are their responses! Some of them are mentioned more than once and some are very unlikely contenders, and a lot of them star Tom Hanks and Adam Sandler, but they're all great movies to make you feel good!

If you had a long day a work, got into an argument with a friend, or maybe you're going through a break up, here is a list of movies to help you out and some reasons why they are loved!

Christine's Go To Movies!

1. 10 Things I Hate About You

This is my all time favorite movie! It always changes my mood no matter how upset I may be. I can watch it over and over again and never get sick of it! I like to watch it alone so that i can say all the lines out loud! I own it on DVD, Amazon, and iTunes, so that I always have access to it when I need it! The story just makes me to happy!


2. A Cinderella Story

(the ORIGINAL) Is easily my second favorite movie. I also own it on DVD,

Amazon, and iTunes. It just makes me feel good! The story, the music, and the

actors are all huge reasons why this movie can turn my day around.




3. Friends With Benefits

This is another one that always puts a huge smile on my face! I love Justin Timberlake and Mila Kunis and this movie never fails to make me laugh!




4).Toy Story!

Yes, another Tom Hanks movie! I am a huge Toy Story fan! I have Toy Story shoes, t shirts, and a home made Buzz Lightyear Halloween Costume. These movies mean so much to me and always take me back to my childhood! I used to watch them with my Dad as a kid so they always remind me of good memories and put me in a good mood!

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

Like I said, it's a big hassle.
