GamerTab That was an excellent one.

VividSimon Simply Perfect

Kaydan Christian A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

Janis One of the most extraordinary films you will see this year. Take that as you want.

kraakpott Spoiler ahead. There are stories you can tell and ideas you can raise in animation or science fiction that are too outrageous for a live action picture set in the present day. Compare this picture to "This Side of Paradise" (a Star Trek The Original Series episode, 1967). They're both parables about lysergic acid diethylamide and The Merry Pranksters. Roddenberry's story ends safely, with the trippers returning to "reality," but WSBAFG leaves open (that's the spoiler, sorry) the possibility that the "disease" might prevail and the world might be transformed. The topic is even more untouchable now than it was in '68. No distributor is going to risk the modern blacklists with a title that points out the real motivations of the War on Some Drugs. You'll know the War is over when this movie comes out on DVD and streaming.

tburke-13 I saw this on TV many years ago when I was a kid and the ideas have stayed with me like no other story. I think the basic story has the core of a fable for the ages like "Groundhogs Day" or "It's A Wonderful Life". In particular I remember the Idea that some people didn't need the infection. They were capable of happiness all the time ; and some were not. Now thirty years later the research of psychiatry and psychology finds that the basic ability or disposition to be happy underlies much of what happens in our lives. If they had seen this movie. We see constant advertisements for medications to make us happy. The characters in the movie are dated but the basic question of happiness haunts each of us and all of us together. I only wish I could see it again.

dutchgrl This is one of my favorites and haven't seen it or been able to find it to buy anywhere, I only recently found out about your data base this is a great place to find if movies are available on VHS, or DVD. "What's So Bad About Feeling Good" is a great comedy and hope to find it soon

resslerc This movie was very silly but fun and actually a little thought-provoking. Mary Tyler Moore and George Peppard play two hippies who live with several of their friends in a dingy New York apartment. Their only goal in life is to "tune in and drop out" of mainstream society. After a toucan carrying a "happy virus" infects them, however, they "clean up" their acts, and begin to dress and act like your typical 60's establishment types. Moore and Peppard begin to think about marriage and children. The virus spreads all over New York City and people begin to be nice to one another. This alarms the makers of such products as alcohol, tobacco and gambling since demand for these begins to plummet! I always liked the scenes where rude New Yorkers begin to treat each other with respect and kindness, and the "hippy pad" was intriguing to me as a little kid. It wasn't just the silliness of the movie, though, that I liked. It actually made me think about how just waving a wand and making everyone happy would have a lot of unintended consequences. It was an early introduction for me to the economic concept of opportunity costs.
