Best movies/shows to watch when feeling sad?

Whenever I'm feeling down I want to watch something uplifting, motivational, and happy. I'm sure there are many others out there who feel the same. I'll start:

1. How I Met Your Mother - Barney's antics never fail to cheer me up
2. Any old Adam Sandler movie - the guy might have gone B-list now, but back then he was a comedic genius and never failed to make me laugh
3. Ferris Bueller's Day Off - takes me back to my childhood when things were carefree, no responsibilities, and you could do whatever you want

Oddly enough, I did go through depression and kids shows did it. If you were born in the 90s and watched Nickelodeon shows, I found those shows did bring me back. Those shows were Rocket Power and Rocko's Modern Life. No idea why I decided to go back to watching those after so long, but I had a craving. It satisfied.

Then there are shows/movies I watch when I just generally need to for emotional/misc. reasons. Anytime I am craving White Castle- Harold & Kumar Go to White Castle. Anytime I want to have a drink, The Hangover. Anytime I want to feel rebellious or tough, The O.C. Anytime I am feeling like I am bringing in a lot of money "Two and a Half Men", of course the ones only with Charlie Sheen in them.

Ha remember Otto from Rocket Power? Too good

Anytime I'm craving White Castle, I go get White Castle (usually happens when I'm drunk...)

Well, I am still finishing the last season. If you watch them in order, some of the episodes in the 3rd and 4th seasons are totally out of order. I am going to miss it when I finish this series.

Yeah, Otto thought he was "all that" throughout all the episodes. It is hard to believe he would not though, being that he is like what, 10 years old?

You are quite lucky. I actually was born and raised in a state that did not have any White Castles and then I moved to a state for college and I go to it whenever I am craving it.

I still have yet to do my binge watch. Binge watch- while watching White Castle, eat 30 sliders, 4 large fries, and 4 large cherry cokes. ;)
