If you’re feeling a bit miserable with the long dark days, here are 5 heart-warming movies to see you through, across thebest streaming services. But not Christmas movies, because that’s a whole different cup of tea, and I’m not ready just yet.
The Map of Tiny Perfect Things

A super sweet reimagining of aGroundhog Daystyle timeloop. 17 year old Mark has lived the same day over and over again countless times. He knows exactly what will happen to the second, so one day, when a girl (Kathryn Newton) is out of place, what’s going on?
This is a moving romcom that’s simulataneously really funny and emotional. The time loop trope is well explored in cinema now and this movie wastes no time in establishing the situation and getting on with the story. Plus, it genuinely made me happy cry a bit. A rare feat these days.

Just looking into Paddington’s eyes is uplifting enough, but when he starts talking ans Ben Whishaws voice comes out, he goes into cuteness overload.Paddingtonboasts a massive 97% on Rotten Tomatoes and for a good reason.
One little bear’s adventures in the big city are guaranteed to bring a smile to your face, even if his penchant for marmalade sandwiches is a bit gross (in my opinion).

This 1988 film cemented Tom Hanks as one of the biggest stars in the world, and it makes sense. He has an incredible sense of wonder for the world as a young boy who’s wish to grow up comes true.
The giant piano sequence alone is enough to melt the coldest heart but the whole thing will have even the most mature adult thinking about their youth with real nostalgia. The moral of the story? Don’t be in a rush to grow up.
