3 feel-good movies on Netflix to chase away the Sunday scaries

Looking to lift your spirits after a long weekend? Netflix has an array of feel-good movies perfect for a cozy movie night to kick off the week. From comedies to heartwarming romances and uplifting underdog stories, there's something for everyone to brighten their day.

One charming option is "The People We Meet on Vacation," a sun-drenched romcom based on a novel by Emily Henry. This film follows two college best friends, Poppy and Alex, who reconnect after years apart when they decide to spend a week together during their annual summer vacation. As their vacation heats up and long-simmering sparks begin to fly, both characters start to see what their friends and family have always known – the true depth of their friendship.

Another delightful choice is "Nonnas," a dramedy starring a star-studded cast including Susan Sarandon, Talia Shire, Brenda Vaccaro, and Lorraine Bracco. Inspired by the true story of Italian-American chef Joe Scaravella, the film showcases his love for family recipes and his dream of opening up a Staten Island restaurant staffed solely by vibrant Italian grandmothers. The movie's 82% critics score on Rotten Tomatoes attests to its delicious blend of humor and heartwarming moments.

If you're in the mood for a classic baseball film, "A League of Their Own" is a must-watch. Set during World War II, this feel-good movie tells the story of the All-American Girls Professional Baseball League, featuring a star-studded cast including Geena Davis, Lori Petty, Madonna, and Rosie O'Donnell. The film follows the Rockford Peaches, a standout team in the league, as they navigate the challenges and triumphs of playing professional baseball in a male-dominated sport.

With unforgettable performances from the entire cast, "A League of Their Own" remains a timeless favorite for baseball lovers and moviegoers alike.
