Nostalgia Movies for When You're Having a Bad Day
19
items Did you know scientists have now proven that nostalgic art actually calms the brain when it is under stress? Here are some movies to help you relax or release the tension when a day is just not going your way.
Saving the best for last, this is the best nostalgia movie for me especially if I'm watching because I'm sad. Heath Ledger, and the dancing and Shannyn Sossamon?! I mean I can't with this movie. It's so good, and I still repeat so many lines from thi...
A Knight's Tale (Special Edition) (DVD)
This might only be nostalgia for me, but Antonio Banderas as Zorro is just priceless, and I will always hyperfixate on the tango between him and Catherine Zeta-Jones. 🖤🖤🖤
The Mask of Zorro (25th Anniversary) (4K/UHD)(1998)
This is for the girls especially the oldest daughters or undiagnosed ADHDers who were taught that we were bad or evil because we were different. Mostly the first movie but you might as well buy the other two since it's cheaper than getting one. 🤣
The Divergent Series: 3-Film Collection (Blu-ray)
If you are an artist and you need to feel that box you've been put in broken, anything by Baz Luhrman will do the trick, but Gatsby specifically with its lazy summer days and throbbing summer nights is the perfect tonic for a daily life that doesn't ...
The Great Gatsby
If you are feeling angry and frustrated politically and that's why you need nostalgia, the OG Hunger Games is the perfect cure. The mix of political injustice and catharsis with the relationship between Peeta and Katniss just feels so safe somehow. M...
Hunger Games 4-Film Collection (Blu-ray)
The new Hunger Games is for those who are feeling really hopeless politically and need catharsis not hope. This one is kind of the opposite of nostalgia watching the old one because you know it doesn't end well before it even begins, but isn't that w...
The Hunger Games: Ballad Of Songbirds and Snakes (4K/UHD + Blu-ray + Digital)
Cuddly creatures, Disney animation, and Thumper? It's the total package-just don't let the sad parts get you down too hard!
Bambi: The Walt Disney Signature Collection
We all need to flash back something where the days when our biggest worries was how we were going to find our own red carpets, but now we also need the reality check Anne Hathaway gets to remind us not to lose ourselves along the way.
The Devil Wears Prada: 10th Anniversary (Blu-ray)(2006)
I know Ten Things I Hate About You is on every nostalgia list ever, but it's for really good reason. This movie is just chill and fun and 90s sarcastic with the perfect vibe for cheering up on a bad day.
10 Things I Hate About You (10th Anniversary Edition) (Blu-ray)
The Holiday might be a little bit of a Christmas movie, but who cares? It's cuddly and warm and cozy and everything I love about romantic comedies.
The Holiday
"Love actually is all around us" *cue sobs* This movie is so charming that even though I never saw it as a child I still feel like I get the nostalgic meanin of it all.
Love Actually
This movie is so great in so many ways, watching it feels like a trip back into the 90s when Britney Spears was literally EVERYTHING
Crossroads
This movie is so much fun and you don't even remember all the little moments we recite from it as well as the little moments that are so cool.
The Princess Diaries: Two-Movie Collection
What do I say about the Princess Bride? Multiple generations grew up with this as their official nostalgia movie, I don’t think it can be argued that it’s one of the best of all time. But if you need an argument for it- "As You Wish."
The Princess Bride (30th Anniversary Edition) (DVD)

Did you move into a house that's not your dream house? And you are so frustrated with the economy? This movie will make you laugh through your tears and at the end you'll wonder if it was worth it. It might be a yes it might be a no, but I don't thin...
The Money Pit
This movie is cuddly and lovey and everything we all need when the world feels dark and scary. 🤍🤍🤍
Father Of The Bride/Father OF The Bride 2 - 2 Movie Collection (DVD)
For anyone who has given up on your dreams, this movie engages with the loss of innocence and worrying about dreams stolen away by life's woods. Thank you we love you!
The Neverending Story (30th Anniversary) (Blu-ray)
I had to scour the internet to find this one a few years ago, I am so glad I did. The story of a famous fancy women ending up in Girl Scout camp will never stop being funny, and girls working together is something we could all use more of.
Troop Beverly Hills (DVD)
I mean, obviously. This movie is so FETCH. 🖤
Mean Girls (2017 Release) (DVD)
