I'm in one of those moods...and want to watch a movie that makes happy.
Not a comedy...but some sort of 'uplifting' drama...maybe about someone overcoming impossible odds, or something along those lines.
You all know I like "soppy stuff"

I guess its a bit late now, i have one in my head but for the life of me i cant remember the name, its not what you calla great movie but its not bad and is about overcoming impossible odds. Anyway its about a football (american) player that wants to run the mile he is a strong short guy and was told it would be impossible for him. If i remember he had a friend that was training for this and was killed so he wanted to do it for him.

Is that the one where the friends blames himself for the death of the friend ?
Is this the one ? if so it is a good movie
Chasing a Dream...............Senior high school football star Cameron (Andrew Lawrence) is traumatized when his best friend is killed in a car accident that he feels responsible for. When Cam learns that his best friend (a track star) was working on breaking the sub-four minute mile, he decides to honor his friend’s memory by accomplishing the goal for him. Cam is met with strong opposition from his football coach and father Gary (Treat Williams), who feels he's throwing his sports opportunities away. The father-son disagreement begins to tear the family apart, but Cam continues to pursue his goal, hoping to put his friend’s memory to rest at last.

| Pay it Forward is a good movie to watch when you are wanting something like that. It's sad but uplifting at the same time, has a very strong message in it.
