I was looking at this list https://editorial.rottentomatoes.com/guide/great-feel-good-movies/ , but it seems like most of the movies were made from at least the late 2000s

I'm just going by the definition provided by the article. The dramas I chose are not really uplifting or feel-good in a conventional saccharine way, so I apologise in advance if they don't work for you. I personally find that style of film to have a much more positive effect on my mood, though, particularly over a few days as I reflect on it.

Thank you, I watched Elemental and the SMB movie, they definitely fit!
