Maybe not exactly what you're looking for, but Hot Fuzz (2007) always gets a laff out of me no matter how shit I feel.

Harvey and Redbeard are two movies that may fit the bill. As for books, I'd recommend Epictetus's discourses and Boethius's consolations. As a Man Thinketh is good too, if you want something a bit more modern and accessible.

I hope you fell better soon, both physically and in terms of mood.

>>34424482
Did you mean Amelie? I couldn't find an Amalie. added others though!
>>34424484
Excellent taste
>>34424490
Thank you!

You're right. My misspelling.

>>34424465
I really like Kikujiro. I remember that being pretty heartwarming.

Some other films I like that might fit the bill depending on your taste
>The Green Green Grass of Home (1982)
>August in the Water
>Eat Drink Man Woman
>Departures
>Only Yesterday
>Mud
>O brother where art thou

Listen to the Beach Boys' Discography, it's more worth your time than you think.

Movies:
>Superbad (my favorite comedy ever)
>O Brother (suggested multiple times itt)
>Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade
>Fantastic Mr. Fox
>Ratatouille

As for books, read Forrest Gump by Winston Groom. It's a little more lighthearted and whimsical than the movie, which is also great.

I’ve stopped watching sad stuff and resolve not to. I believe unless life intends to show me sadness, I shall try my best not to consume sad media. I watch silly cat videos, I watch babies cackling and laughing, I watch some stand up comedy. You must remember, earlier generations used to go through far worse shit but they kept their spirits up, they kept it up anon regardless of the circumstances. They sang songs, danced, acted silly and laughed whenever someone farted. But do not confuse it for toxic positivity. Be real but be joyful.

>>34424465
>What movies make you happy every time you watch them?
"A Funny Thing Happened On The Way To The Forum", "Amélie", "The Incredibles", "Bringing Up Baby", and "Some Like It Hot".

Amélie must be good, I only know of it from FitGirl

There's this scene where she rings and this weird looking guy opens the door, basically the male equivalent of her, and she just looks disgusted and goes away. I wonder if it's a reference to another french film called "Thomas est amoureux" that came out a year before.

>>34424471
All of the Three Flavours Cornetto movies are fucking great, solid pick!

>>34427558

Going back more than 100 years, two Buster Keaton greats:

You're probably already familiar with it, but I think Frieren is pretty good in that aspect. It isn't like most other popular stuff in the sense that it doesn't focus on action, but rather on appreciating life, and its beautiful yet fleeting moments.

I dunno, it always made me smile and be thankful, at least.

In any case, I wish you well OP. Hope you recover and feel well soon.

bump for more suggestions

Spy X Family is one of the few anime I’ve watched in a long time that wasn’t focused on super violence, pessimism, or tragedy.

>>34424465
Adventure Time
One Piece

Also rest your hands til they get better, and get ergonomic rests for typing, and practice healthier techniques.

Naked gun movies are pretty funny, maybe look into watching some comedy series like Black Adder or Allo Allo, if can stomach it. Lastly there are some good documentaries, I personally like history farm, if you find the entire series you will spend around 12 hours per series so it's a good time waster.

>>34433053
for nature stuff I recently watched Island of the Sea Wolves. very cool

The Paddington movies are comfy and simple, not much actual conflict.

There's a good audiobook of Storm of Steel by Ernst Junger. It's a German Officer's WW1 memoir. 9 hours long, it'll kill a day. I wouldn't call it a happy book but it might make you appreciate that you're sick in a comfy bed instead of lying in a muddy shell hole with your leg blown off.

If you've never used audiobookbay before you need to make an account then navigate to an audiobook's page, scroll down to where it says magnet, click the hyperlink, then click the little magnet icon that pops up next to it, and then it'll open in your torrent client. The site has a lot of other audiobooks so I recommend searching through it even if you don't like the sound of my recommendation. All the major philosophy books are in there. Lots of fiction too.
Audiobooks are the perfect choice when you're sick. I hope you feel better anon. Good luck with that.

Not hilarious, but well-made movies offering the aesthetic pleasure of something done really well:

Godfather 1
E T
The Apartment
