There are times in our lives, when nothing seems to be going right. I would not be wrong when I say that each one of us go through such times. It may be because of not getting a job, poor scores in exams, a fight with a loved one or may be just because one is lonely. Whatever may be the reason for being in a sad mood, it is important to find ways to cheer up oneself as being moody can affect people around us. Each one of us has different ways of lifting our mood. While some like to read a good book, there are others who like to go for long walks alone. Another way one can bring back the good mood is to watch some pleasant movies. These movies do not come under a particular category i.e. pleasing movies are not necessarily comedy or romantic. Rather, they can come under a variety of categories including sad, action oriented, etc. What all these movies have in common is that they make the person smile and feel good about himself as well as life in general. So, if you are feeling a little depressed and dejected, some of the following movies will definitely help in lifting up your bad mood. Pleasing Movies List
