I've been watching too many worthwhile but depressing 4-star movies. I'm looking for suggestions for movies that are upbeat or feel-good, but also intelligent. Live action preferred over anime, and a Bechdel pass is definitely a plus. Romance is acceptable but very much optional.

A couple of examples that I've already watched that would fit the criteria are Bull Durham and The Goodbye Girl. Once is marginal, because of its rather melancholic feel, but gets a pass because it has reasonably intelligent characters interacting without romance getting in the way.

Making Mr Right with Ann Magnuson and John Malkovich - Space program. Android. Great shoes. Love story.

Earth Girls Are Easy - Young Jeff Goldblum. Aliens who breakdance. Julie Brown songs.

The Dish - No romance but a sweet and funny tale of the part the Australian Parkes telescope crew played in the coverage of the moon landing
