@BowsacNoodle It's a Wonderful Life and Scrooged are my two favorites. They both end with such a good message of hope and brilliant joy, and finally "seeing" the great things in front of the men who became cynical grumps.

And throughout the stories, you see glimpses of the main character "getting it" but just not necessarily able to keep it, until he finally breaks down at the end.

Beautiful stories with happy endings and joyful songs at the end.
