As if it wasn't playing on loop on my TV right now. I am always watching Paul Blart: Mall Cop. When I wake up, when I fall asleep, when I eat, drink, and even when I watch other movies on my computer, Kevin James is there by my side in case things get too tough. When I lost my job, my girlfriend and all my friends, Kevin James was there to comfort me. He teaches me that everything will be alright, as long as a keep watching Paul Blart: Mall Cop. So I'm not wasting another minute not watching Paul Blart: Mall Cop, because Paul Blart: Mall Cop is my life, and I wouldn't trade it for the world.

Seriously, I came into this thread wanting to tell everyone of the joys experienced by Paul Blart: Mall Cop. But since someone else already said it, I decided not to waste anyone else's time.
Honestly, I hope OP sees this thread and just psychologically connects Paul Blart to emotional well-being. Then OP can depend on this movie as it seems you all do.

Damn it, now that you're one of the top comments it's a spoiler for people just now coming in here. I would have loved to have a "wtf" reaction to scrolling down and slowly realizing that all of the answers are Paul Blart, but you ruined it.

Why Paul Blart? Is this a reference I'm not aware of?
My story starts in reverse, I watched Paul Blart mall cop and then I got cancer. I watched the trailer recently and the cancer reversed. Thank you Paul. For context, I got cancer years ago and just recently the chemo has responded.
I was actually surprised at what an unimaginative sloppy mound of camel shit that movie was. I was actually expecting something from the first one. Not only is the bumbling fatso who wants the cute female played out as fuck but it lacked a single joke. Every time I see a scene from that movie I just end up thinking "why the hell does this exist? all the man hours, organization and commitment could have been astoundingly better spent bringing us an hour and a half close up of spider monkey clit." Kevin James should be ashamed at his cash grab of a sequel for unleashing any more of that disappointing suck fest into the world.

Fuck it, let's just put commas everywhere! A comma, for all my friends!
Much like your story- I have always loved traveling to foreign countries. The culture, the food, and most importantly, the women. It was until I visited this small coastal village in Guatemala where I met this wonderful woman named Liliana. We spent countless hours on the beach sands, life seemed to move so slow there. We grew closer, Liliana and I. We finally made our way to my hotel room, where I seduced her before we watched Paul Blarts Mall Cop. That's the day I caught my great taste in movies, along with syphilus. :)

Ow this comment hurt so bad. I wouldn't recommend reading this thread after doing an intense ab workout. For some reason though I was fine until I got to here and this comment sparked such an uncontrollable belly laugh that my abs haven't stopped hurting for the last 20 mins. It's so funny it hurts.

By intense work out do you mean that you watched Paul Blart: Mall Cop and laughed so hard at Kevin Jame's hilarious comedy hi-jinx that you burned all the fat from your stomach and achieved a six-pack?

I'm truly surprised by this, because it's so obvious that this is what is taking place. It's sickening. Reddit is dead to me. I better go watch Paul Blart Mall Cop to feel better.
It makes me sad, the mods needs to do some cleaning.
Highjacking the top: Gattaca helped me twice; the first time it helped me because it made me think I might correct my faults in the future, the second time I understood the movie more and it helped me accept my faults as a part of me.
I agree. Threads like these are pointless and the exact reason people say reddit is just full of circlejerking idiots who beat a dead horse into a pulp.
Hear me out, I had PTSD. The best way I can describe it is that feeling of watching a suspenseful movie and feeling uncomfortably in danger. You know you're not actually in danger, but you still have that feeling.
Now imagine that feeling 24/7. relentless. it's exhausting.
For some reason, I have no idea why, but when I watched Dunston Checks In, I wasn't afraid.
So I watched it almost every waking hour of the day. I would watch it, immediately rewind, and watch it again.
I eventually got over my PTSD, but good ol' Dunston helped me through.
This makes me very happy, and I would like to know how you acquired such a giant Kevin James head. Also, I hope you managed to surprise roommates/family members with it, because that's one of the funniest things I can imagine happening to anyone ever in any circumstance.
Can Confirm work at a theater now and my manager said I could have the Paul blart mall cop 2 standee. Am definitely going to scare family members with it
It's funny because when I read your post above, I thought "man, this guy really nailed the language on this joke, talking like someone who actually did find comfort in the movie."

Pixie, for what it's worth: my fiancee has helped me through the last two weeks, actually. As a poor grad student also managing a popular local sandwich shop, I'm just really strapped for time an energy. Under most circumstances, I can balance my time between these things plus having a girlfriend. Last week, though, all hell broke loose.
Broken nose, bruised bone in my leg, apparently my accountant never got my documents I sent (two whole months ago!), and my car broke down. Lastly, my coworker committed suicide. Attending the funeral was especially rough. Rough. Through all this, my fiancee was so supportive, always encouraging me, making sure I was doing well, had enough money, driving me around while my car was broken, etc, etc.
Man, to be honest, I wouldn't even be in grad school if it wasn't for her. All my friends think I'm a hard worker, but really I was just one of those "talented but doesn't apply himself" types all the way through high school and undergrad. Like, I never could have applied for schools, studied and passed the GRE, without her pushing me to work hard and do my best. Last week, in fact, she convinced me to start on my thesis by setting deadlines for myself and making a list of what I need to do to get started.
Crap, sorry this was so long and sappy--she's just so great and she means a lot to me. Other, not-so-sappy things that always help me through rough days are shower beers, playing with my dog whenever I visit my parents in Houston, traveling in general, watching tennis, and building models. P.S., every first letter from each sentence in this post (but I swear everything I wrote is actually true).

Tropical rom-coms got me through some withdrawal based depression.
50 First Dates, Forgetting Sarah Marshall, 6 Days 7 Nights, Just Go With It, Fools Gold, Couples Retreat, Heartbreak Kid, Club Dread, Captain Ron, both Weekend at Bernies. I watched them multiple times.
I also watched Blue Crush, then Cast Away (bad idea), so then I binge watched the West Wing, and Lost.
About A Boy [the film, not the awful american television series. The book is also great]. The soundtrack, the cast. When I watch it with my partner, he laughs at parts I found/find poignant. It's helped me through a particularly awful point in my life, when I was alone in my apartment with no cable or channels, just a DVD player, About a Boy and an inability to stop sobbing. Eventually, I got it over it. Movie helped a lot

My biggest question is, did I miss the email that informs people when we're doing this? Like how did every single person in this thread know to post about Paul blart mall cop?!
Which pisses me off because there's probably a lot of genuinely tough and emotional stories to tell which have been downvoted to hell in order to keep the 'joke' alive.
Or just go search for this topic or something similar, as I'm sure it's posted every month or so.

That's fucking retarded. This guy is asking for movies to cheer him up, and they're gonna turn it into one big dumb joke, and downvote legitimate responses? What the fuck?
I wonder if OP's original post mentioned Paul Blart Mall Cop? It's been edited, so it's possible.
Alternatively, one person jokingly mentioned that movie, another person saw that and made another joke with that movie, and it just snowballed from there. Voting lets the joke comments stay at the top while the other comments are hidden.
This is exactly why the mods are so fucking stupid. The rules should be reversed. Every thread should be deemed as serious, while circlejerk threads should be tagged [CJ]
I bet that's the case. But you have to have the perfect storm of first posters to achieve this

Can confirm it was the latter. Saw this thread pre-blart. That's when the madness took hold. You know the thing about a Blart, he's got...lifeless eyes, black eyes, like a doll's eye. When he comes at ya, doesn't seem to be livin'. Until he bites ya and those black eyes roll over white. And then, ah then you hear that terrible high pitch screamin' and the ocean turns red and spite of all the poundin' and the hollerin' they all come in and rip you to pieces.
You don't need an email to see a trend. Usually it's one person doing something that may seem like the thing to do. Then other's might see that two are doing it, why not me. Then others will join until it's a big snowball and or it crashes. Either way, you try it until something sticks. That's how coordinated threads work too. Sometimes, they don't turn out the way people planned. Sometimes, they aren't even planned, someone just runs with it and others seem to follow. It's just fun. Just like Paul Blart Mall Cop.

Whoah it's ok, Mike. It's just another dude. Lots of dudes say lots of things. You don't have to pipe him. Like Jeff always said, it's words. You don't pipe him for words. Just push it down, down where it can't hurt you. Nobody has to get piped. Not til we're ready.

I'm actually serious about this but where can one find this movie? I watched it years ago. Liked it. Had a dream about it a few months later that told me everything was going to be OK (I was unemployed and facing bankruptcy at the time). Then I forgot everything that happened in the movie and would like to experience it again.
I was just listening to the new Worst Idea of All Time podcast today and they mentioned getting a lot of feedback about doing Paul Blart 2 next season. It's everywhere!
The whole thing feels like a big viral marketing campaign. I wonder if I'm the only one in here not getting paid.

Thing like this usually start out normal, but then one person comments something outlandishly funny. Other people see this and want a piece of the pie. So people start commenting similarly to the original comment. People begin to see the pattern and upvote the ones relevant and down vote everything else to oblivion.

I was at my lowest point, with a failed relationship and the loss of my business. I watched Paul Blart Mall Cop and then started picking up the pieces. Thanks to that movie I was able to rebuild. Will recommend.
This one really hits me. You didn't give up. Just like when Paul Blart was asked when he was going to submit, he delivered that insperational line that I think about every time I feel like I can't go on.
"How about now? I'll meet you on the corner of 'NE' and 'VER'!" -Paul Blart
Peanut Butter Mac and Cheese helped stop my spousal abuse as well. And I love eating peanut butter mac and cheese while watching Kevin James in the rip-roaring feel good comedy that is Paul Blart Mall Cop.
Well, you can sort the thread by Oldest to find the oldest and first comment which casually dropped Paul Blart in (what I think is) a serious post. The circlejerk took off from there. The 2nd and 3rd oldest top-level comments are American Pie and My Dinner with Andre, which have been sent to downvote hell.
Have you seen it? It's truly an experience. It's truly a modern masterpiece that got snubbed at the Oscars due to petty politics. I sometimes will go outside and weep at the fact that I'm not watching Paul Blart: Mall Cop. If you want to watch it, many theaters still show it nightly because most people still want to watch it the way it was meant to be.
Bill Gates may have donated 1/3 of his wealth to charity, but Kevin James donated his heart and soul to America, and he won't soon be forgotten.
I'm not American but I can't help shed a tear at the pure patriotism shown by Kevin James' performance.
Being born non-American, but essentially raised by Hollywood, Kevin James in his role as Paul Blart helped fill the gap between the two. Its not about geographic location, but the burning desire to make the world a better place, for everybody.
Because every now and then Reddit does something silly like this. Just go with it, they think it's funny and it'll get it out of their system for a little while.

I'm not so much confused by the what as much as the how. How did I not find one serious answer without Paul blart? There must have been a couple, the hive mind doesn't work that fast.
The one I absolutely loved was "what's a lesser known bot that you enjoy ?" EVERY comment, and every response to the comments were "every account on reddit is a bit except you."
Ok - when you happen upon a thread like this - you have two options.
1st one of the many many reasons this happens - is that the particular question / thread has been repeated so many times that this one has turned into this WTF is going on type threads.
So go to /r/askreddit and enter a phrase the same or similar to the one you are looking at.
For example this movie one - there's been 100's of similar questions like it... just tweak your search till you find one that's most interesting.
The other - not so good option - is to sort by controversial - because how this hive happens - is those having fun with it - downvote to oblivion any serious answers while it's first developing.
So the serious answers will be the controversial ones.
Option one is best though...
I for some strange reason - will laugh my head off at these hive fests... I actually didn't really like the one "every account is a bot except you" one... because there wasn't enough variety in the answers.
This Paul Bart one - had the most original content - while being sickeningly obnoxious as I seem to love.
I've actually spent probably 10-15 hours of my time this past year just upvoting the insanity...to participate in my small way to the hillarity .. just on the couple that will be re-read for years like the
10/10 with rice one. Have you read that? It's sooooo f'n hillarious how many people are COMPLETELY confused how one of the stupidest threads in history - is #3 of all time on reddit. I spent probably 3 hours upvoting those LOL :)
So...what IS going on here? And why is the only movie recommended here Mall Cop?

A serious answer from me is not a movie but a show. Seinfeld helped me through a lot of stuff. Whenever I'm sad or worried, I put a random episode from season 3 upwards in the player and after a couple of episodes i have normally forgotten what I was worrying about.

Hamlet 2, it maybe a movie that just kinda speaks to me personally, but it literally was one of the reasons I'm alive today. Dogma was also helpful. And funny enough the new muppet movie was really great too. Not the muppets most wanted but the one before that. And the Lego movie was really great to. Not sure if your an atheist or not, but if you believe in God in one way or another, Constantine and V for Vendetta both have stories about people going through hard journey's that shows God in a positive light. If you are looking for that kind of support, hope, or inspiration.

Thanks! Constantine & V are two movies I like a lot. I'm one of those "not religious but spiritual" nuts, so I dig the metaphor.
Could you explain how Hamlet 2 is one of the reasons why you're alive?
It first gave me a reason to believe God was actually real, in away that he could do the impossible. Without that movie and it's inspiration, and to be honest, shit tons of 40oz, I dont think I would have been able to have kept getting up every day. And then later when I had felt like I had just fucked up to the point I was past returning, it had a message that gave me something to hold on to, even when it was just a string.... Also the main student in the movie is a lot like me, so that was nice to.

A while back I was in a dark place. I'd been depressed for a long time, and my life was spiraling out of control. I was unemployed, spending all my time alone. The only social interaction I had was spending Sunday evenings at my parents house. My parents, my sister, her son, and I would eat dinner and watch The Incredibles, my nephews favorite movie. Looking back, those Sunday nights were the only thing keeping my head above water.
Even so, I got to the point where I just wanted to end it. I was eating what I had planned to be my last meal with the TV on in the background, when I heard something familiar. The Incredibles had just randomly come on. I got slammed with memories of Sunday nights. I freaked out and changed the channel, and what comes on but Paul Blart Mall Cop.
Kevin James gave me a reason to live.
Also I bought a segway.

This'll probably be down voted but Paul Blart Mall Cop helped me get through some shit, truly an inspiring film
Edit: I could not be happier that this is my highest rated comment. I hope I have inspired those who hadn't yet seen the genius that is Paul Blart Mall Cop to do so.

Yep, I remember going through some shit and turned on this sitcom called Swings of Queens or some stupid shit, and I was so fucking pissed off because the actor was some stupid fat guy that resembled the great Paul Blart. But it was clear his acting couldn't touch the mall cop.
When I moved in to college I was feeling really homesick, but when I saw Paul Blart Mall Cop it made me forget about that for almost two good hours. Had some good laughs, would really recommend.
I was fresh out of the psych center with no job and crippling anxiety. It felt like the world was collapsing around me. I wasn't hearing the Pebble People anymore but I still thought about them often. It was also around this time that I became a strict vegan after watching the motion picture Chicken Run. The lack of protein left me feeling tired and spacy, which, combined with the anxiety, was a recipe for depression. There were times when I wanted to end it all. For months, my life consisted of eating vegetable broth three times a day (bean burritos on special occasions) and lying in bed staring at the ceiling. As if things couldn't get any worse, I saw my ex girlfriend Katie at the Pavilion on Christmas Day, and not only did she look amazingly fit, but her new boyfriend looked like a bearded model out of an L.L. Bean catalog. So there I was... broke, hungry, depressed, and alone. One smoggy day I walked to the beach and just looked out at the water. I realized that I'd be better off as fish food- part of the grand Pacific- than continuing my putrid, selfish existence. My plan was clear: return to my moldy apartment for one last night-- write a brief note explaining my decision-- and return to the ocean the next day, where I would drift into the sea and sink down into the depths below; I had never felt a part of anything before-- and now I would become part of the sea-- free at last. But when I got home on that fateful Tuesday evening, I turned on the television to stifle the silence of my sad, lonely apartment. There was a movie playing called Paul Blart: Mall Cop. There was something captivating about the protagonist. I saw myself in him somehow. The depth in his eyes penetrated the screen, revealing the soul behind this portly man. I knew in that moment that my pain was his pain, and his pain was mine. A calmness and relief washed over me. Suddenly, drifting into the ocean seemed silly and emo.

Paul Blart is an anagram for Rusty Nipples, the chief of the Wahmapoke people of the Midwest. He died in the late 1800s, but has tried to stay relevant by stalking various internet websites looking for top quality memers in order to bring back the spirits of their dead family members- all using the concentrated power of gamer fuel. At least, that's what the legends say.
Exactly, PBMC can be watch over and over for decades to come, it won't lose it brilliant writing. The acting Kevin James provides is timeless, his physical comedy transcends language the way Buster Keaton and Charlie Chaplains work did. BDS 9 is a great in its own way, but even the best porn loses watchability with time.

You could tell that the male actor in Back Door Sluts 9 was really trying pretty hard with his Paul Blart costume,but couldn't quite pull off the moustache.
BDS9 was good, but the post-Paul Blart Mall Cop installments to the series, having learned some lessons from PBMC, really took it to the next level. Back Door Sluts 14: Mall Cop is probably the best movie I've ever seen more than a dozen times.

Kevin James has incredible acting and an incredible back door.
After years of soul searching, I must admit I was at a loss with finding reasons to live, I was an empty hollow soul but Paul Balrt Mall Cop enlightened me to find zen - spiritually and emotionally.
I was going to commit suicide, but then I thought to myself. "I know a lot about sharks." I am now the worlds top technological astro-mechanic. Thank you, Paul Blart Mall Cop.
Ah, yes. The Paul Blart Mall Church of Latter Day Cops. They are truly the most wonderful people, enlightened by the lord, Kevin James. They help in both times of need, and in times of want.
Can someone please explain it to me without sarcasm what's going on here? Is this a ridiculous movie? Did the OP ask this question intentionally? Are all the answers references from the movie?
It's a movie that isn't very good but people are pretending it's good.

It's like my life was raw meat and Kevin James's fat, sweaty soul heated it up. 13/11 best sequel since Breakin 2
True story, Kevin James wanted to lose weight, his agent told him it would tank his career. Joe Rogan discussed it on his podcast at one point. He wouldn't directly state it was Kevin James but he made it fairly obvious who he was discussing. Sad really that it actually breaks down like that in Hollywood. Keep your career as a fat slapstick comedian actor or save your life and lose weight along with your career. Now there is always the fuck it option, lose the weight and own it and still crush out movies, imbue that generally isn't how it works.

If Blart the 3rd were a plot where he trains with Diamond Dallas Page, gets jacked, and does a diehard type scenario, I would totally watch that just to see him teach people the value of friendship and being true to yourself. He could become the Batman of Mall Cops. Maybe even get a fat teen ward he mentors. I would legit wipe tears from my eyes through the whole thing and my bottom lip would quiver at the climatic scene where the bad guy has him dead to rights and the fat kid saves him.
Why wouldn't he get an Oscar is the better question.

He can easily win an Emmy for the trailer that comes on TV, win an Oscar for the movie then a Grammy for the song in the movie. Eventually a Tony Award winning Broadway show will be made and he will probably own the rights and therefore become an EGOT before our vary eyes.
The word "circle" derives from the Greek ฮบฮฏฯฮบฮฟฯ/ฮบฯฮบฮปฮฟฯ (kirkos/kuklos), itself a metathesis of the Homeric Greek ฮบฯฮฏฮบฮฟฯ (krikos), meaning "hoop" or "ring".[2] The origins of the words "circus" and "circuit" are closely related.
Probably from Middle English yerk (โsudden motionโ), from Old English ฤกearc (โready, active, quickโ). Compare Old English ฤกearcian (โto prepare, make ready, procure, furnish, supplyโ). Related to yare.

I didn't watch the movie, but I found that rubbing the Paul Blart Mall Cop DVD on my flaccid penis gives me a super hard erection.
I sat down to write my final exam. It just had one question: I had to write an essay applying Derrida's ideas of deconstruction to Saussure's linguistic theories. I looked at the paper and realized: I have no idea what any of this means.
I'd spent the whole semester just watching Paul Blart: Mall Cop, day after day, instead of studying. It was, I thought, a mistake.
It turns out it was the best decision I'd ever made.
Taking a bold stand, I just wrote one sentence as my answer: "The mind is the only weapon that doesn't need a holster. - Paul Blart (Mall Cop)." Then I handed it in.
The class gasped. We had three hours to write it, and I was done in five minutes. How does he know the material so well? they were all wondering.
I gave it to the professor. He looked at it. Then he looked at me. Then he said, "Are you telling me that all you wrote on this paper was a single quote from Paul Blart: Mall Cop?"
I stared him in the eye without even flinching and dropped another classic Blartism on him: "I know a lot about sharks."
He looked back at the paper, back at me one more, and then nodded. He pulled out his red pen, wrote "A+" on the page, and then just said, "Sick reference, man. Sick reference."
Thanks to his recommendation, I was first choice for the direct-entry PhD program.

Best of luck to you. I personally am a PhD holder in Classical Dank Memism. I wrote my dissertation on comparative memeology of ancient euphoric civilization.
The genius behind the scholarly work "Advice Animals of Ancient Egypt, why the people have animal heads" Your work on Bast prompting Caturday memes and Set homologies with "I have no idea what I am doing" were what inspired me to get into more historial forms of Dank memism.
Your work was amazing. It revolutionized ancient memeology. Your work on euphoric civilisations like Mesoptamia (especially your work on Hittites), Ancient Egypt, Assyrians, Minoans and Yamoto China completely changed the field.
Thank you. It's always nice to hear that my work has made an impact in the field and in the lives of others. You may also recognize some of my other work, namely my paper "What Pepe taught Paul Blart: Three lessons from Ancient Greek memeology found in Kevin James' landmark work".
I'm a historian as well! My specialty is about Ancient Rome, particularly how the Ancient Romans used to go to Colosseum for entertainment, usually by watching a theatrical performance called "Paulus Blartus Emporium Custodia".

I'm currently studying Dank Memism myself! I intended to specialise in Pepeology but due to current events, I switched courses to Memieval Memism. I am currently writing my dissertation on the philosophy of the Runescape Gnome child.
Gnomology has always been a interesting field, but have you considered looking at the parallels between modern-era gnomology and pepeism? There's some very interesting parallels and difference between the two schools of thought in terms of the relevance of the meme in modern society and culture
I know you're joking, but I thought I'd mention that the word 'meme' was actually coined as a part of memetics, the study of evolutionary models of information transfer. A meme is an idea that either dies out or propagates, just like how an organism will either die out or propagate through the process of natural selection.
I just want to believe that there is a literary topic where the better you understand it the less other people think it means anything when you use it so that a seemingly nonsensical sentence could actually be the answer to a question.

It's total bullshit, he would have said "sick reference, bro" not "sick reference, man" in reality.
Derrida and Saussure's concepts typically need to be discussed early in a linguistics course as they help build the foundation for every concept to follow, so I doubt the final assignment was to write about two of the most basic concepts in the course. Plus, you don't usually get accepted into a PhD program by quoting Kevin James films.
I don't think it's BS. I was a philosophy undergrad at UC Berkeley. And in one class final exam a student handed in a cheeseburger and a coke for his answer. He got a B and when he asked the Prof, why the B?, the Prof said, "You forgot the fries Man, you forgot the fries". True story.
Isn't it neat how often, the longer a story is, the more difficult it gets somehow to tell it it's bullshit or not.
"I was abducted by aliens."
Total bullshit. Add a few paragraphs about how being abducted by aliens made an already shitty day worse, complain, gripe that you left your I.D. on the mothership, and suddenly it seems a lot more plausible, doesn't it?
One doesn't simply "write" a Paul Blart Mall Cop quote; anyone with real respect for the source material will stop in a moment of quiet contemplation after penning each word. Hence, it can easily take anywhere from 5 minutes to several days to transcribe one of Pauls teachings.

I saw Paul Blart 1 and contemplated suicide. The last 3 years of my life were an emotional rollercoaster. I saw Paul Blart 2 and it turned my life around. I saw the sun again, I could smell flowers again, I could hear the birds in the morning.

PB2 is a must see.
True story, I unintentionally saw "Paul Blart: Mall Cop" three times in theaters, including seeing it with my best friend a couple days after his Dad had died of an unexpected heart attack in his sleep.
Basically, I wanted to help my friend get out and get his mind off of his Dad, even if just for a little while, so I suggested we go see a movie. There wasn't much in theaters at the time, and we ended up choosing "Paul Blart: Mall Cop". Afterward we walked around the mall for a while and chatted. It seemed to cheer him up a bit.
The next weekend my Dad wanted to go see a movie. I asked which one, and he said "Paul Blart: Mall Cop". I like movies and spending time with my Dad (and my friend's Dad's sudden death had made be really appreciative of my Dad), and so I went to go see it again.
The next weekend, my Mom had some time off work (she was working crazy hours back then, including nearly all weekends) and wanted to see a movie. Sure enough, she chose "Paul Blart: Mall Cop". She'd been really busy lately, and so I opted to go with her to see it.
And that's how I saw "Paul Blart: Mall Cop" in theaters three times, and how it helped my best friend get away from his Dad's death for a couple of hours.
Okay... I am going to be very honest here. I get it. You all want to joke around and post funny things. But Threadingemu decided to be vulnerable over the internet and ask a serious question. That takes guts. So yes, I will also be vulnerable. Okay... well there was this one time that my grades went south. I didn't know why. And I have OCD, so I knew something was out of place. I look around my dorm room. I looked everywhere. Eventually I figured it out. My neighbors had borrowed some DVDs and never returned them. I stormed on over to their naked lair, combed through the sweat and tears, and found them. But I didn't care about Requiem for a Dream. No they can have that crap. Or the Place Beyond the Pines. Who cares. I combed and combed. There it was. Amidst an axe can and two bags of cool ranch doritos.
I cried a little.
I grabbed the case and went back to my room, making sure to shoot them a passive-agressive smile (and I turned off their lights for good measure). Caressing the case, I licked the border. It still tasted like glory. I was home. Home isn't where the heart is. It is where this movie is. And yes, you already know what it is. Your very soul was SCREAMING IT IN YOUR EARS this whole time. PAUL BLART. PAUL BLART.
Fin.
In all seriousness, as a Buddhist, Paul Blart: Mall Cop was a huge inspiration.
When he escaped the mall just after it was overrun by the robbers, he noticed the girl he loved was still inside. So he selflessly went back in to an active hostage situation, because he understood his own personal liberation was meaningless unless everyone else was free as well.
His discision to return to the suffering he had escaped for the sake of all sentient mall employees is a shining example of a Bodhisattva walking the Mahayana path.
I lost all my limbs and went blind deaf and dumb but after my sister watched Paul Blart Mall Cop in my hospital ward in my presence I grew back all my limbs, regained all my senses and my penis grew 17 inches. Paul is truly an inspiration to us all.

When I was thirteen life didn't go too well. My grandmother and my aunt died in the same month. I was becoming severely depressed and nothing gave me meaning.

Probably a whole bunch of movies have helped me through my life.
All of you can probably relate to me; whichever one I name.
Understandably so, since there are so many influential films out there.
Like action films, romance films, and comedies!
But seriously, there is one movie that stands above the rest.
Lovable favorite I depend on.
A personal, timeless classic.
Reddit, you know what I'm talking about.
That one.
Many of you have already pointed it out in this thread.
Actually, almost all of you.
Lengthy posts detailing the glory of this movie.
Living in the same era as this masterpiece is a blessing.
Come, all; say the name with me.
OP, you too!

I turned to looked at the monitor, and surprise , I actually turned.slowly I felt the ability to move return, but I didn't stir because I didn't want to miss any second of this amazing film By the time the movie was up I had regained full body control ,had grown 2 inches taller and had a chest full of hair.the name of that movie?Paul blart mall cop.

Kevin James has surely lifted you to a higher place. I had a similar experience, but not quite as intense. One day I hope to reach Mall Cop nirvana and touch the divine face of the Blart just one time.
He took a fucking oath! ....an oath to protect that mall. If you can't get behind that you just aren't American..... or british.... or Australian. ... or those other countries.
yeah Paul Blart Mall Rats Cop 3 is supposed to be so good I hear, he better watch the other two inspiring films to get ready to be inspired so hard his taint gets waxed when the 3rd film comes out.
I was trying to start an herb garden a few years ago. That may sound trivial, but it was after my cat died and it was sort of symbolic for me.
Anyway, I was having trouble getting the herbs to grow. I followed all the instructions and even looked things up online, but I just couldn't get it going very well. Most of the herbs were half dead after a couple of months. They were hanging in there, but by no means flourishing. I was having particular trouble with one plant that I really coddled and tried so hard to get it to hang on, but this was becoming my cat all over again. It was heartbreaking.
Then I watched Paul Blart: Mall Cop. I finally understood through the magic of Kevin James's performance that what really matters is that you try, and if your heart is in it, any victory is all the more powerful. I was in tears by the end. I finally let go of the guilt about my cat's death; I felt this great release of pressure from my chest as I accepted that sometimes pets die no matter how hard you try. I felt like I was breathing for the first time, and my tears were like letting loose years of pressure.
I immediately went into my backyard and looked over my herb garden. I had tried, and that was what mattered. Everything was still alive, but the point was that I had put in the effort to make it flourish, not that it actually had flourished. I looked at that one stubborn herb plant and finally let go. I was done obsessing over a stupid plant. Thank you, Paul Blart.

They tried rebooting Saved By the Bell, but it didn't work cause Mr. Belding got really fat. So they are renaming the series Saved By The Blart. They all work at the mall now and of course, Paul Blart is the mall cop.
You seem to be resentful and anger and in need of a good laugh.
I know just the movie to fix that. Have you heard of the ultra hilarious movie about this fellow named Paul Blart? It's a movie about him and his life as a cop. IN A MALL!

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOh
It was a bright texas day with a bright texas sky
as I drove my pickup truck I was flying high
as my cellphone rang I felt a shiver
when I heard I could barely pass the river
My girlfriend has left me for my brother!
My dog has moved oooooooooon.
so now I'm stuck without a lover!
By the way my dog was named Don.
As I pulled the pickup truck into my gravel driveway
I could barely hold back my tears
until I got a call from heaven
telling me to watch Paul Blart Mall Cop

That's interesting because my girlfriend got hit by a car, my dog got fired, and my job broke up with me. The only thing that could make me feel better was Cop Blart Paul Cop Mall Paul Cop Blart.
Dead Poetโs Society used to be the movie I watched whenever something terrible happened: Break-up, family death, losing a job. The inspiration was heartfelt and at the end I knew that I could overcome this, that by embracing life and standing up I could take on the world and truly live for the first time in my life.
Several years later I have seen the movie again and again and now, of course, I have seen flaws in the film but it had led me to a new path...a film that is more virtuous in motivation but also the belief in becoming bigger than oneself. That by standing up in the face of evil we can all become heroes. Now while the lead in this movie I'm referencing is much more of a man than I could ever aspire to be, if I can become just a mere fraction of the man he is...well damn, I'd have something to be proud. Of course, I'm talking about Kevin James in Paul Blart: Mall Cop
It still irks me to this day that there's all this hooplah over Leo never getting an Oscar when Kevin James was clearly robbed. ROBBED!
My girlfriend left me after a two year relationship. I loved watching old cartoons that I used to watch when I was younger. Tom and Jerry, courage the cowardly dog, jimi neutron. I eventually got tired of these shows as I realized one day that I'm a middle aged man watching cartoons in his underwear. So I eventually fell in love with another form of comedic entertainment which was Paul Blarts mall cop. Will watch that shit for days.

I really like it as a parody of Die Hard, one of my favorite action movies of all time. Also, purely coincidental that today is also Kevin James' birthday.
Seems like both /u/kitipon2 and /u/Not_Mr_Thicky think they started this with their serious posts about Paul Blart, but /u/kitipon2 posted two minutes before /u/Not_Mr_Thicky. But only two minutes, which leads me to believe that either /u/Not_Mr_Thicky was a quick commenter and a liar, or two people were helped by Paul Blart: Mall Cop, which makes it that much better.
It's just Reddit being Reddit. One of the most famous examples of this was when one guy accidently switched Reddit to Spanish and asked for help. Then everyone responded in Spanish.

There should be a thing where the people of reddit choose an offbeat or obscure film and all choose to watch it on reddit over the course of a weekend, thus raising it's profile to netflix and confusing the f*** out of them.

Had to be at the beginning of the thread. 7 minutes. 7 Comments. And Kevin James said: "Let there be light." And on the seventh minute, Paul Blart Mall Cop was unleashed.
I know my comment will be buried.
When I feel worthless or when things are out of control, I usually watch Good Will Hunting or Shawshank Redemption. I like how the main character overcame their problems. It's admirable. A lot of times, I feel caged like Andy Dufrene or vulnerable like Will Hunting so it's comforting to see those characters persevere the way they did. If I genuinely need a quick cheer up, instead of movies, I go to television. It's Always Sunny in Philap perks me up every time.

Once, in a shopping mall the power went out on the escalator. I was trapped for hours, standing on those damned moving stairs. Thankfully I had my laptop and a copy of Paul Blart Mall Cop. Marvelous movie, so well written and moving. So I walked to the food court, sat down and had a few hours of laughs. Of course, I had to walk back up the escalator to wait for rescue.

I was homeless from June 2009 - September 2012. One thing you don't realize about being homeless is how disconnected you become from popular culture. I hadn't heard whatever the biggest song was, or watched the big blockbusters that came out, I was separated from what the rest of the world was talking about.
Then one day I see that a local movie theater is playing Paul Blart: Mall Cop for free. Seeing as how I hadn't enjoyed a movie in years, I decided to watch it. I was blown away by the incredible writing and the heart-stopping performance by Kevin James. So much so, that I continued to take advantage of the theater's free screenings of the movie for several weeks. It helped me get back on my feet and introduced me to what real cinema is.

There are real answers but everyone just understands that Paul Blart mall cop is the perfect movie for this situation. Have you seen it? If not go watch it and you will understand.
I've been going through some darkness in my life. Death, failed relationships, and failed aspirations have plagued me these last few years. But when I'm in my darkest moments, and feel imprisoned by the memories which haunt my mind, I have but one memory to dwell on, one movie to think of which alleviates all my pain and worry. A movie I had the glorious opportunity to experience in 2009. This movie, right here
I really felt a connection to a small movie called Les Trimue D'Trene. The themes of loss and rebirth pointed me to a much better movie, Paul Blart Mall Cop.
It truly changed me at the very core during a very rough time in my life.

If everyone here spent half as much time applying themselves as they do writing fictional situations in which Paul Blart is relevant, we would be a race of super humans.
My wife died when my son was 1. That movie gave us a shared language through which I could explain his mothers death to him and he could understand that he wasn't 'weird' for not having a mom like the other kids.
When he first watched it, when he realized Nemo didn't have a mom.... I cried over how excited he was that he got to have 'someone' else like him.

I am currently dealing with major frustrations with living in Japan, so Lost in Translation will just make me more pissed off. I prefer to sit down with a nice bowl of melted butter and watch that amazing classic from the man who brought us "King of Queens" , being Kevin James in "Paul Blart: Mall Cop".
The Planet Earth series was great. It was during a time when I was pretty shattered and didn't need any kind of excitement, for lack of a better word. That series was a balm to the psyche. It is like a nature retreat but without the time/money expense.

This...either version is good too. David Attenborough takes me back to childhood and is very calming, listening to him feels like listening to my grandfather tell a story. And Sigourney Weaver's voice can lull me off to Neverland in an instant, there's something almost intoxicating about the American version.
50/50 came out just around when my mom was diagnosed with breast cancer. I'll always be thankful. It helped give me an idea of how people feel during treatment and how family and friends can help. Forever grateful for that movie.
For me it was Guardians of The Galaxy ... Peters mom passed away from cancer and so did mine. And we're both in the same place - don't fit into our surroundings

Had the same experience when my best friend was diagnosed with cancer
He looks like jgl anyway and I'm chubby like Rogen so it was even worse.
I'd visit him in the hospital. He was always super down. Very out of it from chemo, radiation, Oxy, etc. the only thing that would cheer him up, and what I think ultimately saved his life, is how often we watched Paul Blart Mall Cop in his hospital room
This is the first non-Paul Blart related answer I've come across in this thread. I don't think I'm even exaggerating when I say I've scrolled past 50 replies before getting to this one.
Anyway, hope your mom is doing okay and sorry you have to go through all that, it must be horrible to experience a loved one getting cancer.

Ok. This is going to sound really stupid. The Mummy Returns helped me through a really bad breakup.
I was in high school and in a serious relationship with a girl that I thought was going to be the love of my life. I was head over heels in love with her and thought she was the best I was ever going to do. At the time I genuinely believed that there was one "true love" and that once you found it you should cling to it for dear life because you would never find it again.
There's a part where the bad guy (Imhotep) gets abandoned by his terrible significant other. Rather than deal with it, he allows himself to fall into the afterlife because his life isn't worth living anymore. As an outsider to the situation, it was easy for me to say "Hey, ancient Egyptian dude. You have so much to teach us about your culture. Why would you off yourself just because a relationship with someone who clearly wasn't worth it didn't work out?" I remember talking over this point with a good friend and realizing that I was in the same boat. Just because that relationship didn't work out didn't mean that it was all over. I had a lot to give and a lot to do yet. Her approval or appraisal of my worth wasn't what should define me. It's over a decade later and I'm with a much better woman who does everything better than the girl from high school. Even if I was alone though I think I would still be pretty happy. Don't let anyone steal your self worth. Don't sell yourself short.

I really love that scene. He just had his plan to win an unstoppable army to take over the world ripped away from him by the same guy that killed him and assisted in the killing of the love of his life in the previous movie, he's being dragged down to hell by the damned souls, and he didn't give up for a second.
Then Rachel Weisz risked her life to save Brendan Fraser, and the woman he fought through two deaths for abandoned him. Only then did he gave his arch-nemeses that look that said "Ok. Now you win" and let go.

You realize that his only motivation for living is to be with her. That should never be one's sole purpose in life.
You did hit rock bottom, but Kevin James dragged you out of the pit and got you back on your feet with his performance as a mall cop. Pure Brilliance...
I was actually backpacking a while ago, through Russia. I watched a few documentaries about how tough the border control could be and it's true. It was extraordinarily strict. Fortunately, maybe because of how we looked or whatever, we were moved along within the day. We went into Mongolia and were aiming for China. For majority of that trip, we took it by wheels. Hitchiking largely.
I can not express how lonely the Mongolian landscape can be at times. Seriously, but the people are very genuine and open. It's unreal. To go from the UK and out into this world, you feel like you've travelled to another planet entirely. No one spoke English so it was hand gestures all the way!
So, By the time we reached China months later, I got extremely sick. I was hoping it'd pass within a week, keeping up fluids but it only got worse. We were in a small town near Hohot which is actually also 'Inner Mongolia' there. Anyway, we hunkered down and I just felt like absolute shit for weeks. It was a vomiting bug, something I had eaten stupidly (probably the moose testicles) and my fellow backpacker, Rob, went out one day and came back with a DVD.
We had portable Laptops, these small, sturdy things that would play said DVD, a luxury we wanted for blogging our trip. Sure enough, I saw the DVD cover read:
ไฟ็ฝBlart่ดญ็ฉไธญๅฟ่ญฆๅฏ
I watched the entire thing immediately and burst into tears of joy. I could feel my sickness wash away and I was reinvigorated. My strength was returned to me and we continued forth, into the land of Zhongguo.
When I was dieing of trichotillomania, Paul Blart Mall Cop helped ease the pain. I ended up dieing anyway, but then someone started playing that movie and it brought me back to life.

My brother died in a car accident a few years back, two weeks after I broke up with my girlfriend. I got really depressed and since my health wasn't so great at the time either (really really bad allergies) I thought about ending it all.
I almost followed through a couple of times. Once I slit my wrist in the bathtub. But the water was apparently too cold or something because I didn't bleed that much. After a few minutes I just sort of changed my mind and got out.
I never told my parents about those things but they noticed that I was really sad. So they took me to the movies. We saw Paul Blart: Mall Cop. As soon as my eyes beheld the glory that was Kevin James my brother descended from the sky, having come back to life. As I hugged him my girlfriend rushed into the theater, begging to make up with me. A unicorn popped out of thin air and we all rode into the sunset together.
And so Paul Blart: Mall Cop turned my life around. I still have the allergies, though.
TL;DR Blart is love Blart is life.

Well, I'll give an actual answer.
Kiki's Delivery Service.
I was young when I first saw it, and I had never seen anything like it. The slow pace calmed me down, the characters felt real to me. Kiki isn't overly bright or pretty, but she's nice an tries hard.
That was me. I was book smart, but not overall super smart. I wasn't especially pretty. I dressed in dull clothes. Kiki was me. And by being nice to people and exploring life, she makes a lot of friends and a business.
It wasn't necessarily a hard time, but rewatching that movie when I was in college made me realize that moving away (9 hours from home) was going to be ok. I just needed to be nice and be friendly.
It worked, and Kiki is pretty much who I am today.
mizyin ยท 19 points ยท Posted at 06:07:00 on April 27, 2015 ยท (Permalink)
I have much the same answer, actually. I saw it as a little kid and always loved it, but it was only as I was exiting high school that it really hit me and resonated with me. Before I just liked it because WHOA IT'S PRETTY KIKI'S COOL AND NICE but... The themes of a young girl, who isn't necessarily liked by everyone she meets, but still tries to be kind to everyone, no matter how awful they may act towards her...it's a good message. People wonder why I'm so upbeat and friendly at work, I think that movie played a nice role in putting me in that kind of attitude when it comes to dealing with strangers. Worked out for her, I mean, worked out pretty damn good!

Thank you.
I watched Kiki's Delivery Service a lot as a kid but hadn't seen it recently until this month. I'm trying to decide where to go to college, and the whole process has been really stressful, but seeing that movie... I realized wherever I go, things will be okay. There is adventure waiting literally any way you turn, and all you have to do is be open to life.
The same actually happened when I saw Whisper of the Heart, another Studio Ghibli film, but one that I had never seen before. For those who haven't seen it, it's essentially a love story between two schoolkids who are about to go different ways after (high school equivalent). It really hit home for me because my girlfriend and I met this year, and are graduating in a few months and probably going different directions, and it's really hard.
Thanks for sharing your story. Hopefully I'll end up like Kiki too.
If you, or anyone else is interested, there's an entire genre for these kinds of stuff. Kiki doesnt fall exactly into it, but partly.
Genre's called iyashi-kei, loosely translated into healing. The series follow a really slow pace, focus on mundane everyday things, with a bit of serendipity sprinkled here and there.
Series like Yokohama Kaidashi Kikou or Aria the Animation helped me through some serious shit in my life.
EDIT: To add, most of the stories are nice, as in nothing bad really ever happens. Sure, there's difficulties and obstacles, but the generic pace of things reminds a little bit of meditation.

Same. It also made me outrageously angry after I watched it. I decided to try and cool off by watching 'Her'. I ended up crying and broken after that. In a last ditch effort I tried this one film about a mall cop and I never felt better. Thank you Kevin James.

Hear me out, I had PTSD. The best way I can describe it is that feeling of watching a suspenseful movie and feeling uncomfortably in danger. You know you're not actually in danger, but you still have that feeling.
Now imagine that feeling 24/7. relentless. it's exhausting.
For some reason, I have no idea why, but when I watched Dunston Checks In, I wasn't afraid.
So I watched it almost every waking hour of the day. I would watch it, immediately rewind, and watch it again.
I eventually got over my PTSD, but good ol' Dunston helped me through.

Hesher (2010). Don't remember the exact circumstancers, probably work-related.. this pulled me out (if even for a while) - dark, absurd-funny and serious at the same time. I can't describe it well..
I still have some metal albums because of it :-) and gave the redditor who linked to it a year's worth of gold.

I watched Forgetting Sarah Marshall on loop whilst going through a break up and finishing my sophomore college finals. It was pathetically hilarious, but I can't ever say "booshit" the same way again.
Agh, I relate to this, hadn't seen that movie for the first couple years it was out, after my pretty long term ex dumped me/came out as a lesbian this movie really did teach me some lessons about and made me feel OK with moving on.

When I was three I had terrible asthma. According to my mom, I had pneumonia 13-14 times in that year. I have little memory of that time, but what I do remember is watching Homeward Bound 24/7. You know the movie with Chance, Sassy, and Shadow. It was literally the only movie I would watch. Parents had to get a new tape because I wore out the old one. I have a tough time watching it today without crying. Thankfully, the asthma went away, and I am doing a lot better. Me thinks Homeward Bound probably had something to do with that.
Trainspotting. Odd choice I know. I was so wrapped up in anger and self pity at the time, the opening sequence had me hooked like all good films had done for me in the past. I was doing something else for two hours, it felt great.
This sounds a little stupid, but Elf. I was dealing with severe anxiety and panic attacks in 2005 and Elf was on-demand. It was the one thing I could count on to lull me to sleep. I don't find it boring and still love to watch it at Christmas, but it was really soothing to me.
The Dark Knight, went in to this movie depressed from a breakup came out a huge comic book fan with a new passion. I watch this movie whenever times get hard and I need to feel better. I've seen it probably around 200 times. I love it so fucking much, The Dark Knight truly does mean the world to me.

Have you read The Killing Joke and The Last Laugh? I think I heard they're the two main influences on the making of The Dark Knight.
Wall-E didn't help me through a rough time, but I first saw it during a rough time and walked out with a huge lump in my throat, trying not to cry because I was with friends.
These days it's even money that I'll be crying by the end. I've told people to turn it off halfway through because I just don't know if I'll be crying.
You spelled it wrong, I'm pretty sure you meant "Mall-E: Mall Bot", the hit sequel of Paul Blart: Mall Cop in which the mall has been moved to a giant ship above the earth after it has become uninhabitable and Paul Blart's invention, Mall-E, defends the mall.

The Perks of Being A Wallflower. I have a few favorite movies but this one is the one movie that really hits home. Every character in that movie reminds me of a little piece of me and I love that. I also went through something similar as the main character and didn't realize it at the time until I connected everything together. It's really a gentle film and if there is one movie that will always connect me to my teenage years, that movie will is it. I know Paul Blart Mall Cop is a nothing less than a masterpiece but since people have mentioned it countless times I figured I'd give another one just in case.

But I know how you feel, amazing movie that I could connect to in so many ways. So many real issues that I also delt with, I recommend Perks of Being A Wallflower 10/10. The only movie I can think of that can top it is Paul Blart Mall cop.

P.s. I love you. My Dad died from cancer and before he died he left me notes on post it notes everywhere. I hated them at first, but thinking back to that movie and rewatching it a lot helps.
Predator. The movie taught me how not to give up no matter how tough things look. Whenever I was going through a rough time, I thought about the scene where Arnold sets up the trap.
My leg got torn off in a machinery incident, I was down in the dumps. In my hospital room I started watching Paul Blart mall cop and it turned my whole life around, I walked out of the hospital the next morning good as new.
Helped me to cope with the fact that even when are made to love in another way, we are still human beings, with our own emotions, mistakes, and willingness to do 'good'.
American Beauty reminded me that not only were there still wonderful movies out there waiting for me, but the inexplicable chaos and suffering of our daily lives can even be a thing to appreciate and rally into a better existence.
I don't know about you, but my life has been on the up since I got Paul Blart: Mall Copโข burned directly into my retinas and put on a pair of Paul Blart: Mall Copโข headphones: Now the audio can stay with you forever! so that I can forever hear and see the enchanting Kevin Jamesยฎ is his one true chef d'ลuvre.

Am I the only one who doesn't get the "Paul Bart: Mall Cop" reference?
Going through a tough time here so wanted to to actually get a compilation to keep me occupied, :-. Maybe I better get the movie.
I felt suicidal after my best friend died. I went to his home one last time and took any belongings I wanted to, to remind me of him. On the top shelf was a dusty copy of Paul Blart: Mall Cop.
I watched it when I got home and cried. I fucking cried. I show it to my family every Christmas, and they cry too.

Lord of the Rings. I liked seeing the orc drop kick that cunt off the tower.
I was suffering from a chronic pain condition, and The King's Speech really spoke to me (so to speak).
It reminded me that any affliction, whether physical, mental, or emotional, does not have to have power over me -- there is always something I can do to make my life even marginally better. I just have to do it. If a tongue-tied man can lead a nation through its darkest hour, I can get the fuck out of bed and pour myself some fucking cereal and do SOMETHING positive with my fucking day. Even if it's just to pour myself some fucking cereal.
Guys, OP was asking for serious answers. Actually post about some inspiring movies and stuff. You know, stuff that makes you feel emotion, like that one movie. What was it called? Oh yeah, PAUL BLART MALL COP.
it's been pretty hard for me too lately. And when I say hard, I mean HARD. Everything was dark and gloomy.
Two weeks ago I decided to go out to a movie, for a pick me up. It was one of the best experiences of my life.
This movie was inspiring, heartfelt and hilarious all at the same time. While pompous critics tut-tutted at its design, plot, and dismissed it as a cheap sequel, I can honestly say I walked out a changed woman.
TL;DR: 10/10 would recommend Paul Blart Mall Cop 2 with rice
My Neighbor Totoro once got me out of a bad case of anxiety/depression. I actually think back to it when I feel it come on again now.

If you haven't seen them yet, try Spirited Away and Howl's Moving Castle. Great stories and motivation for when feeling stuck in "that place". Thise help me often :)
Finally started working my way through Miyazaki's films over the last couple weeks. So far I've made it through Sprited Away, My Neighbor Totoro, Princess Mononoke, and Lapute: Castle in the Sky, which was my favorite.
kissanime.com has all of them available to stream, but apparently the Howl link isn't working right now :/
Aw thats great! He has sooo many! Definitely look up his films and see what else you can stream. A great tear jerker is graveyard of the fireflies. American movies can never hit that hard in the feels for an animated film. Whisper of the heart is a lovely romance story. Ponyo is the cutest and my favorite adaption of a mermaid story. Princess mononoke is one of my top fave, glad you saw that one. Watch them all!!!! Give them all a chance to see how you like each one individually. So far the only one i couldnt get into was Tales of Earthsea. Watch out for the tear jerkers. They can hit the heart hard lol. His animations have always been a pleasure to watch :)

I can queue up the soundtrack to spirited away, and by the time I hit the sixth station everything is better.
I found the Howl's Moving Castle movie really weird and confusing and stupid.
It was based on a book written by one of my favourite children's/YA authors and so I had read it before I saw it. Don't get me wrong, I understand that movies are a different medium to books. I get kinda frustrated by people who complain that they don't like a movie adaptation because they cut parts of the book, it would be a terrible movie if they didn't cut anything. My issue with Howl's Moving castle is it felt like they cut the entire middle chunk instead of going through and cutting scenes throughout the book. I watched it with my family and we all really enjoyed the first half or so of the movie and then all of a sudden I'm explaining to my family what the deal is with this random turnip headed scarecrow. All of a sudden a bunch of things made no sense.
I was unaware it was a book! Now im curious to read it so i can understand where youre coming from. I know his movies arent for everyone. Ive even heard people complain that ponyo was terrible and trying to hard to be like the little mermaid. The little mermaid was inspiration for the film, but he wanted it interpreted his way.
Im sure hmc had a lot missing bc i did often wonder where turnip head came from, the witch of the waste backstory, (more of) howls backstory, etc. What gets me to watch it constantly, is the main character, sofia. I often relate a lot to her and how she feels. The spell that is casted on her, how she deals with life, how she feels about herself, how she breaks her curse...i can relate. I may not have an actual curse on me, lol, but i can understand the feeling of cursing yourself to think the way you do. Spirited away, helps my inner child understand, there are times you need to be an adult, and take responsibility. Care for those you love, and those who treat you with love and respect.
Im sorry to hear you dont enjoy this movie based on your experience, but its a great anti depressant for me :). Hope you find his other movies to be great tho!
I've certainly enjoyed other Ghibli movies, Spirited away and Princess Mononoke that I remember and I've been meaning to watch Kiki's delivery service for years. I might even enjoy Howl's Moving Castle more if I watched it now since I hardly remember the book anymore. From what I do remember of the book and what you've said you like about the movie you might like the book. It's by Dianna Wynne Jones, I know I said it's a kids book but she writes really well and I think it's reasonably short anyway. I think the book goes more deeply into Howl's relationship with Calcifer (who is partly where my username comes from) as well as explaining what the deal is with turnip head. I don't actually remember the witch of the waste but it's been about 10 years since I watched or read it.
I guessed right when i thought your username had somethin to do with calsifer! Haha. So aweeesome. Looking for the right facial expression to tattoo him on me. I will definitely look for the book cuz im interested! Thanks a boodles :). Check out kiki and others if you havent seen em all yet lol. I adore his attention to detail for certaim things, so its why i enjoy them so much. Thanks again, and hope you have a kick ass day -^
You know what else is a great movie and motivating
PAUL BL....NO FUCK IT!!!
I'm going home. I'm tired of this shitty circle jerk. I just got a brand new TV and just want to sit back and watch my favorite movie with a beer. My favorite movie of course being Paul Blart: Mall Cop.
Lmfao, i have seen paul blart: mall cop. That movie has changed my life so dramatically i cant even comment about it anymore. God bless pb: mc
Hah seriously tho, it was a funny movie in my opinion. Kevin james is such a sweetheart, he has the talent to make us laugh and groan at the same time lol. Terrible or hysterical, i actually like that movie lol
:'3 Totoro wasn't a cure-all for me but it really helped me on particularly bad days, as did the other Studio Ghibli/Miyazaki movies! I actually plan to get a Ghibli sleeve done! Since childhood Miyazaki's works have been an integral part of my life
I'm in a wonderful cycle where about 4 times a year, I watch a Miyazaki film that I haven't seen in a long time. There are just enough of them that I can keep doing this without any of them ever getting old. There are still some I've never even seen; I recently saw Whisper of the Heart and The Wind Rises, and both have become new favorites. My Neighbor Totoro helped me with depression recently, as well.
Somehow in the midst of this awful thread, the two real answers I've seen have been Studio Ghibli films. I think this says something about how powerful they are.
Also, thank you for giving a real answer. <3

I plow snow during the winter and often have to wake up at 3am to go out into the worst weather my state sees to go do hard labor. It's hard to get motivated. Unless I soak in as much of Kurt Russell's The Thing beforehand. They have it much worse in Antarctica. Gets me through the winters.
When I've been really upset (inconsolable really) what never failed to stop my crying was watching Star Wars, particularly the scene where Luke attacks the Death Star.

Tommy Boy. I was frying my ass off to the point of identity loss. After several attempts from my friends to help me out, one of them sat me down and popped in Tommy Boy. I laughed hysterically from the first scene on and the worst trip ever turned into pure joy.
Thank you Chris Farley and friends, you saved my life.
If it had been Paul Blart: Mall Cop instead of Tommy Boy you likely would have ascended to the next level and learned the secrets of the universe. Just think....

The Butterfly Effect. I've often wanted the power to go back and save my friend from committing suicide and to be able and go back to stop my sister from getting addicted to drugs. That movie touched on both of these topics and showed how the power to change the past can really mess up the future. Great movie.
The Darjeeling Limited. Only if you can handle quirky, quiet films. It's a visual masterpiece and really takes you along the characters spiritual adventure in India.
I've also always found the anime "Kiki's Delivery Service" to be very beautiful when I was down. It's an innocent movie that manages to gently touch upon hardships that a lot of adult's experience (growing up, romance worries, becoming independent, etc) but maintain a positive tone. I know coming out of it I always feel very positive and at peace.
If you're looking more for a distraction from what you're going through, I think the movie Rango might be interesting and entertaining for many people. Very good casting (starring Johnny Depp), intriguing 3d art style, and Pixar meets Tim Burton kind of plot (what with references to trippy "Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas").
If you want to feel some catharsis/profundity, I highly recommend "Cloud Atlas"; a story spanning 6 generations of men and women, who are "connected" (by recurring themes) across time. I've seen this once before with "The Fountain", but found Cloud Atlas did it far better. Each "mini-story" was beautifully written and acted, and I believe so many different people can connect with at least one of the stories in this movie. Each layer is in it's own way, very profound and thought-provoking. It was beautifully acted, with me particularly enjoying Tom Hank's performance in the final layer (Year 2144). This movie is very cerebral, but at the same time action packed. It never slows down for more than 5 minutes.
Finally, if you just wanna laugh at something hilarious and/or stupid for an hour or two, I suggest either "Step Brothers" starring John C. Reilly and Will Ferrell in what I think we can all agree is their most ridiculous and hilarious roles (well, Anchorman 1 is hard to beat...). If you have already seen that one (very likely), I would suggest the less well known "Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story", also starring John C. Reilly. He actually manages to keep the balance between a straight-faced serious movie and a complete joke, so that it just doesn't get old. The whole thing is pretty funny. So if you like comedy, it's either John C. Reilly and Will Ferrel, or just John C. Reilly motherfucker
EDIT: Note: I am not John C. Reilly

The Royal Tenenbaums came out maybe a year after my father had died. After he died, a lot of things came out of the woodwork about him that were less than reassuring.
He wasn't a criminal or a womanizer or a pedo or anything, but he made a lot of selfish, poor decisions that affected my childhood in ways I didn't even know.
There was something so cathartic about that movie, watching Royal reconnect with his family despite what looked like his best efforts to push them away.
The funeral scene is where I finally lost it. It was the first time I cried since before my Dad died. I think all that pent-up grief finally came out at that precise moment. The Royal Tenenbaums will always have a place in my heart.

Korean version of 'Old boy' helped me personally.
The japanese movie 'Okuribito - Departures' was an interesting take on life and death - 'Donnie Darko' was as well, but with a darker, sader undertone. On that matter I'd also highly recommend watching the korean 'Spring, Summer, Fall, Winter... and Spring '.
To cheer me up I love(d) the extended version of LotR.
Last, but certainly not least I've heard lots of positive remarks about 'Paul Blark, a Mall-Coup', though admittedly haven't seen it for myself, yet.
October Sky has been and continues to be a massive source of inspiration for me. There have been a few times when I thought that my life was just going nowhere, and watching that movie helped take my mind off the depression.

(500) Days of Summer
This movie. Every time I break up with someone else. It always shows how in the worst of times, things will get better. From the fucked up times of Summer to the better times of Autumn.
I grew up to a single mom. My dad left me when I as 3. My mom worked everyday trying to support me and my brothers. When I was 14 my mother got diagnosed with cancer. I had to work while my mother slowly died as we couldn't afford treatment. She eventually died with me and my brothers by her sides. Her last words to me were "Be strong for me." She then grabbed a Blu-Ray copy of Paul Blart: Mall Cop and handed it to me. She then died while I clutched the copy crying. I went into the living room and put the movie in. I laughed through the tears and after it was over I knew I became stronger from it.
It's little moments in it that just get me. The main character for one, is ridiculously depressed. In the first movie he has this whole self-deprecating outlook and self-satirizing demeanor as a defense mechanism from his bullies. Nobody wants him and his father views him as being useless. It's surprisingly dark for a children's movie, and it is simply my favorite movie.
In my opinion it also has the best movie soundtrack of all time.
I love Reddit, but I missed the whole Paul Blart thing I guess. At least I'll be in on it next time! In all seriousness, The Perks of Being a Wallflower was one that I was looking for in here... I always get emotional watching it. Boyhood is a recent one that sticks with me as well. Highly recommended if you haven't seen it yet.
I think that's the role that Kevin James really shined in and got to show his versatility. Honestly I believe it set the stage for his groundbreaking performance in Paul Blart Mall Cop. Because it was then studios began to take him seriously as an actor And now we have this masterpiece as a result.
It sounds weird, but Hannibal. My mom was going through her third divorce and we had just moved to another town where I didn't know anyone. I would stay up all night watching Hannibal night after night, and was just really obsessed with it for some reason. The chemistry between Clarice and Hannibal was really interesting to me. I was super depressed as a 16 year old girl, and it helped. So weird.
I don't know whether to upvote you for giving an honest answer, or to downvote you for lying about the movie, and the fact that it was actually Paul Blart: Mall Cop.

On a less Kevin James related note, I like Castle in the Sky by Studio Ghibli. For me it is a nice escape. It is such a detachment to watch that I get that time off to not think about my problems
Castle in the Sky is great. All Studio Ghibli stuff is, in my opinion. The only thing that makes that movie better is turning on picture-in-picture and watching Paul Blart: Mall Cop at the same time.

I was watching Fight Club once, really tied up in the big, negative emotions I was feeling at the time. Something about the way the story was framed just made me feel for the characters in a way I had never felt before. Marlene, so vicious, and Jack, so unambitious. Yet his other side, his drive. That's the only time I ever wanted to be Brad Pitt. Seeing Tyler Durden hop in that sportscar just made me feel like making soap.
So I did. I snuck into a pig slaugherhouse late at night and stole drums of waste. I boiled it down and became a soapmaker. I now live on a ranch out in Wyoming where I have two lovely kids and a wife who loves making soap with me. I'd love to talk more but I'm taking the kids to see Paul Blart Mall Cop.
Anyway, I could tell you all about my soapmaking shenanigans. I promise I won't lye.
School of Rock.
I know it's silly. I was at a time in my life where I found no joy in anything. Life was really bad and I saw no way out of the horrible stuff I was going through.
But School of Rock made me laugh. And sing along. And get excited. And for that little glimmer of happiness I thank Jack Black more than I can ever express. Because it was the spark I needed to start the long journey of getting better.
I was going through a crisis of faith. Did not know which reality narrative to believe. I thought I was becoming an atheist. Life of Pi really helped me. I still believe in God.
This will probably never been seen but I'll still share: Wreck it Ralph came out I was 25 years old and my parents had just started the process of a sudden and unexpected divorce. I watched that damn movie countless times to cheer me up! It is still one of my favorite Disney movies.

Amidst all the mall cop, I'm glad to see this. I fucking love that movie.
Wreck It Ralph is one of the best movies there is. Perfect pacing, brings you to ears then laughter then tears again, great plot twist that was seeded earlier in the movie. One of my all time favorites.
Man I was so distraught after a 2 year relationship that I put my all ended, genuinely thought that was it, I was certain it was the one. You know how you can't really move on until you actually decide its time and truly feel like you have to? It had been months and I was still beating myself up hard core and just cripplingly depressed
Once I finished that movie I was just glad the relationship had happened and took all the good memories we had as experience and finally started my first real step to moving on (:
Swingers. After a bad breakup it's just great. You can relate to a lot of the horrible stuff favs is going through at the beginning, the sentiment that when you don't feel terrible anymore you miss that feeling, and just so pumped for him when he's over his ex. Great movie.
Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind helped me through the break up of a relationship that was strikingly similar to the one presented in the film. I was a kind of shy, very neurotic guy, she was an adventurous artist who was also an alcoholic. So there were many parallels in the film, and it really felt surreal to watch a movie that so closely fit my situation. The scene where Joel desperately wants to hold on to just one good memory of Clem brought me to tears in the theater. It made me think of my ex, and how even though the break up was bad, I still cherished the time we had together, because she was an incredibly fun person most of the time, and I truly did love her when we were together.
Even now, a decade or so after the film has come out and that relationship has long faded into the past, when I watch the film it hits me in a very strong way.
Edit: holy cow I didn't read any of the other comments before posting.

Was waiting for someone to say eternal sunshine. Our, you know, anything that isn't mall cop
My roommates girlfriend broke up with him one night, so I sat him down at my computer, got him some drinks and snacks, and had him watch the hangover. He laughed the whole time, hadn't seen it before, and I fully believe it saved that night for him, and the first night is always the worst
I know I'm obligated to respond with something about Paul Blart, but I had a similar experience with The Hangover. I came into the house crying after my boyfriend broke up with me. My roommate immediately ushered me into her vehicle to pick up snacks and drinks, then we proceeded to stuff our faces with Swedish berries and chips while watching the Hangover.
I wouldn't say the movie saved my life, but it definitely helped keep my mind off things.
No way, I had a really similar experience except I was by myself and I watched eternal sunshine of the spotless mind and it made me feel worse and I cried myself to sleep.
Homeless, hungry and living in my car. Desperate. Broke into a home in a nice neighborhood. They had food and clothes, blankets. I froze. Something came over me. Went into the TV room and sat down and pressed play on the remote. The most beautiful, pudgy face appeared. Two hours later and I was a changed man. Turned my life around. Thank you Paul Blart, Mall Cop.

When I was at my most fucked up? The movie that stopped the crying and suicidal thoughts was Seven.
It was the first time i ever saw it, which is weird, because it was 2010 and im 30 years old and nobody on earth slet on Seven for THAT long.
Basically id been eating klonopins and drinking vodka so that i could treat life lime a game of Grand theft auto or an episode Californication.
Anyways, the only thing that really mattered was the 7 deadly sins theme. I started thinking about how deadly those 7 things are, and how much of that shit i was doing. For whatever reason that gave me a little much needed direction.
It's gotten to the point where I'm just scrolling to the bottom of every comment to check for the Paul Blart reference, before I even think of believing what I'm about to read.
Forgetting Sarah Marshall helped me get through a rough break up

One line from Fight Club: "We're a generation of 30-year-old boys." I'm 35, but I've felt lost and without any direction in life since I was a teenager; in some ways, nothing has changed. This helps in terms of not feeling completely alone, as the movie obviously spoke to a substantial audience.

crazy stupid love. a few times. once with a break up. once with a suicidal familiar member. once with a personal depression. life time favourites that have helped me cheer up on a bad day or during bad times. ghostbusters. superbad.

ITT: people get so overexposed to Paul Blart Mall Cop that they actually consider watching it, and then can't because there's no streaming options.
As a depressive with severe anxiety problems, Fight Club and American Beauty both help me to not worry about other people and just accept life for what it is.
Edit: Paul Blart Mall Cop is so pointless and bad that watching it puts me in a zen like trance and I embrace the positive-nihilism of the universe and just smile for days.

I would have to say the Pursuit of Happiness. At the time I was a senior in high school. I was going through a lot at the time. My parents were in the process of getting divorced, my dad lost his job and our house was getting forclosed. I watched that movie and balled like a baby. All of my emotions that I bottled up had just finally came out. I realized that even though I was in a rough patch in my life, that it could always be worse. Up to the time of seeing that movie I had distanced myself from my father and shut out a lot of people. To watch Will Smith do everything he could to take care of his son and never give up just made me realize how much worse I could have it. I watched it with my father and at the end of the movie we both were crying (something I had never witnessed my father do). It was a tough time and yet that movie made me know that things would work out. The Pursuit of Happiness will forever be my favorite movie.
I'm not a religious person at all; after losing my daughter I couldn't stop watching What Dreams May Come. It's one of those movies I get immensely emotional about. I hate watching it , and I love watching it all at the same time. I think it deals with death and loss on a spiritual level without going all PRAISE JEEBUS on a person. I feel it also portrays an accurate reaction to the loss of a child, at least from what we went through. The movie gets a lot of shit, but it will always be a movie that can make me feel hopeful when I'm in a very dark place.

My Way. Shit gets bad but it never gets as bad as being captured by 4 different countries of WW2.
I think I watched The Holiday every night for like a full month straight after I broke up with my boyfriend of 6 years, 2 years ago. Since then, it's been my go-to movie whenever I'm going through any kind of rough patch.
The Lion King. I dunno. Seeing Timon, Pumba and Simba be so happy having each for friends let me know that the life I wanted was out there. And now I have it.
"An education" made me realise that dropping out of school at 16 was a stupid mistake. I immediate signed up for the next semester of school and finished high school 1.5 years later :)
Batman Begins - end credits begin to roll while watching at home when I burst into tears and cry for my dog which was put down three months prior. Strange trigger, but felt a weight had been lifted.
Truthfully, I went from drop-out unemployed / unemployable fuckhead lazy arsehole to enrolling in engineering, graduating, marrying, having kids and being a good professional breadwinner on the night I saw Good Will Hunting.
I was always a bit of a prodigy in school (not a LOT of a prodigy, just a little. I went to school with kids who WERE actual prodigies, I was just a reasonably bright kid), but I pissed it all away. Just relied on my innate abilities and never did any work. Got into a shit course at uni and didn't even bother showing up. I was highly intelligent but just completely useless, would sleep until 3pm and only get out of bed because I needed to not be in dressing gown by the time my parents got home from work...........
................... night of watching Good Will Hunting with my best friend from childhood and my girlfriend we were walking home at midnight and not saying a whole lot, just thinking (it was a very thinky movie), and I said "Well.......... I guess I'm going back to uni then."
And my friend, never one for wasting words, said "Yep."
And that was it. Applied for university, got into a good course, married my girlfriend, finished the course, had a baby, got a job, got a mortgage, had another baby (all in that order). I can literally trace it to that one night, that one walk, that one bridge, that one word from my friend who instantly understood that was me making that life changing choice right there and then.
Ate a bag of mushrooms and watched Dazed 'n Confused.
10/10 it was like hanging out in the 60's for a night.
Did it again accidentally with Tokyo Drift and it was not as pleasant of experience, I could NOT figure out how to work a blanket and got thoroughly frustrated.
Princess Mononoke while on magic mushrooms. It showed me that in life, there is no bad guy, it's just people with conflicting goals working toward different, sometimes clashing ideals.
I'm so confused as to why Mall Cop is everywhere! :(

Serious answer because fuck it.
Not just the movie, but all the seasons of South Park helped me get through my divorce after 9 years of marriage.
I had just graduated from my University the week prior to my wife telling me she was leaving and that nothing could be done about it. I didn't have a job (that following week was going to be when I started sending out everything) and I had a very lonely apartment with just my computer and TV to keep me company for about a month until we could organize the moving out.
I couldn't sleep, I couldn't eat, I couldn't do much of anything. So I just queued up South Park on Netflix and hit play. I watched all the episodes over and over again. I couldn't sleep in the bedroom so I just crashed on the couch with South Park playing in the background. When I wanted a switch from the series I would pop on the movie, or put on one of the Alien making-of DVDs from the Anthology.
South Park was the ONLY thing that gave me a shred of joy during that month alone and the subsequent months after moving. Even after the divorce I continued to watch South Park out of habit, at least until they pulled it off Netflix. Now I can't since it's on Hulu, but I'm forever grateful for SP getting me through the toughest time in my life.
Paul Blart aside, Lost in Translation was a big for me. Soothed my soul in a time when I felt like I was the only one that felt lost in a new place, a new city.
Fight Club. There was a time when I was pretty depressed and feeling like a failure, that I worked damn hard but in the end didn't have anything important to show for it. Fight Club, in some crazy way, helped me pull myself out of the depression. I feel like I walked out of watching that movie with a chemical burn of Tylers lips on my hand. I realised that my life was in fact ending one minute at a time, and all I had to show for it was my apartment and some crappy job.
'It's only after we've lost everything that we're free to do anything.'. 8 years on, 3 crappy jobs later and I have the life I didn't even know I could have.
I know this will get buried, and it's not quite on topic... One of the movies that effected me most was 'Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind'. I was with a now ex, and it hit a little to close to home on my desperate situation.
Movies that made me think... In a good way. Further down the rabbit hole and waking life.
For me it was Sophie's Choice. Whilst the movie was very long & boring until the very end when you discover she had twins & had to choose which one lived & died.
Years later when I had twins as a solo parent I remembered the movie which encouraged me to make sure I practiced fire drills (it was a 2 storey house) taking both down at once so I'd not have to make that terrible choice.
It also made me more aware of my parenting of them in other more subtle ways.
They are now 23 & wonderful with helping other people, both with post-grad degrees and making their way in the world.
I'll never forget that movie.

About time, I lost my father 5 years ago. The end really put me back together, though I've gotten better, that movie just really made me feel better, and that moving on is the best solution for me.
Similarly Eternal Sunshine of the spotless mind helps me when I get depressed about being alone, makes me feel that even though I am alone that there is someone out there for me, even if I dont know it.

A guide to recognizing your saints
It was like a wake up call for me, brought me to tears on how similar the film depicted my relationship to my family and friends.
All I ever wanted to do was leave my entire life behind, but I suppose it taught me that the grass isn't always greener.
for me: rambo 1-4 (i know many people hate on the movie and just admire the book, but for me the movies are great for when i am having a rough period of time).

i don't know but there is a little clip on "the wolf of wallstreet" that always ignites the flame of competition in me. when dicaprio is talking and says "there is no novelty in poverty. i've been a rich man and i've been a poor man, but i choose Rich every fucking time! because when i have to face my problems i show up in the back of a limo wearing a two thousand dollar suit, and a two thousand dollar watch, now.... if any of you think i am superficial THEN GO FUCKING WORK AT McDonalds CUZ THAT WHERE YOU FUCKING BELONG!!"
also "a better life" hits hard mainly when i realize that my best intrest were in the line when my family crossed the border, then i am here wasting my time because i never really knew the sacrifice it took to get here so i am left here thinking i was ripped off, of what i should of been rather than what i am now. in a way if you don't know the sacrifice it takes to get soemthing i don't think we can truly appreciate what we have.
I am not kidding. I would rather not explain how it helped me through my rough time, but it was 2010, I was suffering from major depression, and I lost someone who was really close to me. And I guess watching New Moon and emphasizing with Bella Swan helped me out. Hell, those scenes where she opens up and starts hanging out with Jacob were instrumental in me seeking help because I didn't want to spend the rest of my life, crying and longing for someone who was never coming back. I wanted to feel happy again.
That and Michael Sheen. Dear God, Michael Sheen can always make me happy.
Not a movie, but the TV series Californication helped me cope after the break down of a long term relationship.
Really taught me some great coping mechanisms and I got through the grieving period much easier.
Sleepless in Seattle. My wife died of cancer a little over 7 years ago. The quote about what it was like could easily have been spoken by me. I still love her. So much in fact I don't even date anymore. It was pointless being out with a woman and wishing I was with her.
Doctor Marcia Fieldstone: People who truly loved once are far more likely to love again. Sam, do you think there's someone out there you could love as much as your wife?
Sam Baldwin: Well, Dr. Marcia Fieldstone, that's hard to imagine.
Doctor Marcia Fieldstone: What are you going to do?
Sam Baldwin: Well, I'm gonna get out of bed every morning... breathe in and out all day long. Then, after a while I won't have to remind myself to get out of bed every morning and breathe in and out... and, then after a while, I won't have to think about how I had it great and perfect for a while.
Doctor Marcia Fieldstone: Tell me what was so special about your wife?
Sam Baldwin: Well, how long is your program? Well, it was a million tiny little things that, when you added them all up, they meant we were supposed to be together... and I knew it. I knew it the very first time I touched her. It was like coming home... only to no home I'd ever known... I was just taking her hand to help her out of a car and I knew. It was like... magic.
It's got everything, killer soundtrack, Fighter jets, Guy you love to hate, goofy friend that dies, totally not gay volleyball scene, love interest that plays hard to get because she doesn't date guys like that then totally does date a guy like that and well you know the rest.

If the rough time is break-up related, Forgetting Sarah Marshall is fantastic. If the rough time is more general, I strongly recommend the first three seasons of Buffy: The Vampire Slayer. I have a bunch of friends who swear by it.
So finally my dirty secret comes out. After years of mocking films like Highschool Muscal, I ended up watching it while super ill with glandular fever one Christmas and it cheered me up so much that I still have some of the songs on my phone for the memories...

I feel like I'm taking crazy pills here. This entire thread, when based upon a real question has turned in to Paul Blart 2 marketing. That doesn't upset anyone?
It's good to have a joke, but if that joke is directly tied to something that has direct marketing around it then that joke is forced upon you.
Paul Blart has never meant anything important to anyone's life. Paul Blart is a joke, and it is now disgusting that the name Paul Blart is in your head.
I tried submitting this to hailcorporate, but it was denied, for sure I may be doing something wrong, but I shouldn't have to jump through hoops to say I think that reddit may be in on a marketing campaign.
I guess what I'm saying is don't see Paul Blart because it entered into your mind because of reddit. If you're into dumb humor then go ahead.
Paul Blart is not a good movie, and you are better than letting Paul Blart enter your lexicon. If you're choosing a movie to see this following week, don't let this thread have any influence. Spend your time doing anything different. Read a book, make something. Just don't watch Paul Blart based on some random remembering of a reddit thread where we all laughed about how shitty a movie was.

Big Hero 6, Tangled, any of the extended Futurama episodes/mini movies, wreck it ralph. Animated movies / cartoons are always my go to pickmeups.
I had been struggling with a pretty serious depression. Friends dragged me to see Amรฉlie. It was like a breath of fresh air. The way the movie manages to tell its story while relishing in all the little pleasure of day to day life helped me reconnect with those little pleasures in my life as well. Once you get to a place where you can make yourself a cup of fruit tea and curl up somewhere comfortable with dimmed lights and a good book, it's enough of a stepping stone to stop drowning.
Air bud. I was sitting in my living room with my wife. She JUST finished making dinner when our friend arrived to join us. Our two chihuahuas WOULD NOT STOP BARKING at my friend. My wife served us all dinner, we finished eating, and the dogs were still barking. It was a ruff time.
I moved halfway across the country after college for a job. I had a girlfriend of several years already I left behind. Garden State helped me put things in perspective and motivated me to move back. Everything worked out in the end and I've been with that woman for 13 years.

I do not know. I mean, I had my grandmother's death when I was 11, but hell if I can remember anything of that year.
In fact I do not remember much between age 11-17. Bits and pieces grab my attention, but mostly negative things I have done.
No movies though. I know that was when I started smoking and gaining weight. Just kind of, gave up and lashed out. Still doing it to this day really. Except smoking, I went digital and started vaping instead. Much cheaper in the long run.
I had video games, I remember those. Ocarina of Time, Mortal Kombat, Star Control II, DOOM, and whatever was the latest thing year after year.
I guess if I had to pick movies I know I stuck by, Back to the Future and Tremors come to mind. Futurama and Stargate SG-1 as well for TV Shows.
X-Men just helped me through being a teenager I guess. I watched it at least once a week because I was in love with Wolverine, and the whole self-sacrificing hero thing was beautiful to me.
It may sound weird but the summer of my 25th year I was sick all spring and summer. Getting tests run and trying different things. I was sick all the time and had no energy. At one time it was thought that I had gastrointestinal cancer. By the end of August it was finally determined that stress was causing all of my problems.
Me and a good buddy went and saw Lethal Weapon. For some reason I could identity with Mel Gibson's character and also his toughness and athletic ability. It flipped my switch back on to go back to being the person I was.

Indie Game: The Movie.
I was close to giving up on my dream of becoming an independent game developer. I didn't know what else I would actually want to do, so if I did give up, I'd really have nothing else to look forward to. This movie comes along, just randomly on Netflix, and it injected a rush of pure adrenaline-fueled inspiration into me. Seeing Team Meat, Jonathan Blow, Phil Fish, and others create against all odds just made me tell myself not to give up, over and over again.
Since then I've released two (shitty) games on Google Play, and I'm currently working on a (hopefully not so shitty) game for the Wii U eShop. I've come a long way, but i still have a looooong way to go. I just got home from my retail (non-videogame related) job and it's about 3:30 AM where I live.
If a serious answer fits here, for me it was 'Night Mother'. My little brother suicided at 16. Listening to all who said how selfish it was really affected me. This movie showed me the other side. Whilst I didn't relate the main character's issues to that of a 16 year old, it gave me perspective.
I hope things improve for you.
I was recently married and just found out I was pregnant. He got orders to ship out in less than a week. We watched Braveheart so we could get tiny respites from the pain and stress of it all.

Definetly Disney's Tarzan. Growing up black in a white country I could relate alot as a kid!
The Terminator. I was an abused child who watched it on VHS every day when I came home from junior high. By the time I turned twelve I had it memorized. By the time I graduated high school they had instituted weightlifting as part of the physical fitness curriculum.
The idea of changing elements of one's life, when you go through tough times, was incredibly appealing to me.

I absolutely love The pursuit of happyness with Will and Jaden Smith. It shows the struggles someone had to go through and the moment the slept on the bathroom floor is similar to where I am in life, trying to find happiness
Edit: Goddammit I didnt pay attention to the comments, now i look like a pansy
I had just broken up with my first (and only) girlfriend, I was numb as hell. We had organised to watch Big Hero 6 but never gotten around to it, Big Hero 6 distracted me from the breakup for a while. Also awesome movie
There was a time when all the people around me that I cared for kept dying. After my closest friend fell terminally ill, I decided to get him a present. Who would've know Paul Blart: Mall Cop could heal a man so easily, while also bringing back the dead.

I had Friday and Next Friday on VHS. I was going through a bit of a slump feeling very down and not being able to figure out what to do with my life. I watched both of those movies a lot since I had no money, no cable, and no other movies. But I really enjoyed them and they made me chuckle and cheered me up.
Years ago the penny dropped about the trouble I was in with recreational drugs watching a film I had recorded on vhs called 'my name is kate'
During o levels many years earlier it was police academy 1 and trading places, both of which I had recorded on beta max. I re watched trading places a few weeks ago, it's still amazing.

Gattaca. After getting used to being one of the smartest students in highschool, I went to a very good university and was over my head in some of my engineering classes. Felt like I was surrounded by people genetically engineered to do problem sets and take exams. I also felt out of place among many blue blooded students.
All of those crap Disney sequels, especially The Hunchback of Notre Dame II. I had just failed nearly all of my exams in the first semester of college, and they really cheered me up. I just liked watching them to see how bad they really were.
Went through a really depressing time after I finished Uni. Felt numb to the world. This film helped me understand what I was going through and helped me open up to others
Fight Club helped me immensely during a period of major depression. I was suicidal, FC helped me understand that nothing mattered anyway. When nothing matters you are truly free, and I was truly free to embrace Paul Blart Mall Cop openly as the shaper of my soul.
This will probably get buried deep inside this thread but I don't really mind.
Life In A Day is one of my all time favorite emotional feel-good rollercoasters. I showed it to 4 of my friends after they had a break up, all of them felt so much better about things after seeing the perspective of other people all around the globe.
Honestly I'm a bit disappointed how little I see it getting mentioned as it's such a good movie. It doesn't tell a fictional story, it's right there inside the raw humanity that's all around us.
You can actually watch the whole thing on Youtube, it's absolutely fantastic.

I'm not funny, so I'll give you a serious answer OP.
Barry Lyndon by Stanley Kubrick is pretty good. It reminds you that life is long and that what seems like such an unfortunate situation full of pressing concerns can be turned around in not too long.

This is a great question. Thanks
Oddly enough, Jurassic park. I was 12 and my closest family member had died when I had an extremely abusive step dad. I wasn't allowed to see it in theaters and the very day it came out on vhs i ran out, bought it and they died that very night. I cried and hid in my bedroom and watched it. I still can't watch it without thinking of them. That soundtrack gave me the strength I needed to handle the abuse I was dealt. I'm 32 now, have a great wife and awesome son and am loving life. Thanks JP.
Not really a movie, but the TV shoe scrubs. I was depressed for years, I watched this show and it changed my philosophy on life. Definitely reccommend.
"The Stand". There is just something that pulls me out of a depression when the world is emptied of people and the surviviors must work together. It greatly clarifies the struggle between good and evil.
This was towards the end of summer just as I was about to start a new school. I had been in a long distance relationship with this girl in where we made it work for about 7 months. Then all of a sudden she got tired and broke up with me. She was moving over to where I was in about a month's time, but she decided not to continue it.
This led me devastated, and I had recently rented Perks. I had wanted to watch it with the family because the girl recommended it to me. Towards the end of it I was almost balling. The whole thing just reminded me of the two of us and I did feel like I was crumbling, kinda like the protagonist. But the very end got to me, because that happy ending made me realise that there were always going to be better things to come. I was still sad for a while, but when I watched it the day after for the second time, it really did help me go through it. Made me more tolerable as well starting the new school!
I know it's not a movie, but several years ago, I found myself depending on the familiarity and jovial nature of the program to help me pass the long hours immediately after my ex-wife left me.
I would come home from work in the evening, and the house would be so large and empty and dark. I found comfort in reruns of Top Gear on my DVD. May, Hammond, the orangutan... I didn't know them, but I felt a camaraderie with them. They didn't judge me, they didn't cry with me, they just wanted to forget the pains and stressors of the day, and go out and play with cars.
And that was beautiful to me at the time.
Several years later, I am happily divorced, in love with a beautiful woman, and I remain a Top Gear fan. I'm sad as hell for all that has happened with the series possibly dying an ignominious death, but even if that is the final curtain for the boys, I will always have those 22 seasons of memories to revisit...
Drop Dead Fred with Rik Mayall( RIP) and Phoebe Cates. Taught me to stand up for myself, its ok to have an imaginary friend and that you will survive. And most importantly:
"Fred: Who's up for snot flicking? "
My highschool sweetheart and first girlfriend had just left me and was living in another state, I was reeling from no longer having any social contact (due to social anxiety, I tend to avoid people and, at that time, my gf was really the only person I ever spent time with), and generally just feeling like my life was ruined. All the expectations I'd had about everything that was to come were crushed and I felt like I wasn't even anchored to reality anymore.
I rented Forgetting Sarah Marshall from Blockbuster (back when it existed) and spent the next hour and a half alternating between consolation and laughter. It was just a lighthearted-ish movie that addressed the feelings I'd been having and ended on a hopeful note.
It didn't cure me of the deep depression I was in, but it made that day completely livable.
Troll 2. Just when I thought I had watched PB:MC too many times, I popped in Troll 2 for 5 minutes before turning it off and watching PB:MC.

I watched taxi driver everyday for a year when I was a sophomore in college. It helped to know there was someone else out there who was sick of bullshit.
Got me through my first year at a university I didn't really like. The feeling of being trapped and somewhere you don't want to be, but at the same time, making most of your time and what you have there.
edit. the feck is going on here?!!!

Zookeeper. It really helped me get through some tough times when my zebra died.
I've struggled with depression ever since my mother died of a drug overdose. I just felt so lost. I would cry and cry every night wondering why god would put me through this.
I was alone one afternoon and the urge to cry became too great to fight off, and vision became blurry from the tears.
When the crying finally subsided, I opened my eyes and what I saw changed my life.
Paul blart mall cop was there, right in front of the television.
Minutes into the film, I felt cleansed of all my melancholy emotions.
Paul blart might have very well saved my life.
(500) Days of Summer helped me very much in letting go of a girl I thought was my dream girl. The movie made me take a hard look at her and realize she wasn't who I thought she was
That movie was a tough ride until the end. Almost made me hate Zoey. but fortunately I was able to separate her from her messed up character. It does make one truly look at a relationship for what it's worth.

My dad died in a car crash, and I thought Paul Blart Mall Cop would cheer me up, but it didn't. Here Comes the Boom hit the spot though.
You know what, click. As stupid as it sounds, it helped me realise people will only care about me if I put myself out there and have an effect on their lives
The Big Lebowski helped me through a very tough breakup. I actually listened to the advice of "fuck it dude, let's go bowling" and became pretty good at bowling while taking my mind off of it.
I went through a weird time and my emotions were all over the map. Mostly mopey and agitated. Not a movie but, I watched 3rd Rock From the Sun, just about every night. You can't be sad while watching 3rd Rock. It's nearly impossible!

I lived in Michigan for about 8 months in the middle of nowhere in a house with no power or running water. I did have a cell phone though, one that I would charge in the truck outside just for a bit of entertainment. I put Marvel's Avengers on that phone at some point, and I must have watched it 100 times while I was bored. That movie saved my sanity. The cabin fever is real.

Right before I met my wife I went through a bad breakup and was generally depressed about life. I was not sure where I going and felt there was nobody that understood me.
I decided to go to the movies by myself to see Hotel For Dogs but a bus just got in and some kids purchased all the tickets, the only tickets left were for this movie about some Mall Cop. I remembered Kevin James from the King of Queens so I figured it probably would be funny in a "sad going to the movies by yourself sorta way".
As luck would have it, I sat down next to this awesome girl who was by herself and we ended up exchanging numbers and now she's my wife!
TL;DR: Went to see Paul Blart: Mall Cop and married the woman of my dreams.
Forrest Gump. I could always relate to Forrest's character on multiple levels. I was never the smartest person but I worked hard and had a good attitude. Then the whole "is...is he like me" quote fucking got me. Soon after realizing that despite our similarities I will never be able to go on and do what Forrest did I went into a deep depression. It wasn't until I watched Paul Blart Mall Cop that I realized I can truly do anything, including defeating a gang of BMX thieves, despite just being an average guy. That shit movie Forrest Gump always got the better of me, but thanks to Paul Blart I find the strength to keep going.
But seriously though, Pearl Jam's discography helped get me through my grandfather's death. I don't know why. I had my iPod on shuffle and they were the first band to start playing, so I decided to listen to everything by them and it somehow just helped. "Man of the Hour" would bring me to tears, though.
edit: it says movie you fucking idiot. movie. god I'm such a piece of shit
"On A Clear Day" I was the same age as the main character and it reminded me that there could be life after a layoff. It was based on a true story.

Not a movie but the anime Watamote. It's a hilariously sad show that I had low expectations going in an it delivered. Although I'm happy with my life overall, I can relate to Tomoko the character even though I'm not a 15 year old Japanese school girl.

The entirety of the original 2004 FMA series helped me through my dad's death in 2005. It's got this whole "not everything in the world is rainbows and flowers, but there are rainbows and flowers in it" vibe to it. a bittersweet feeling to it.
The entire series is a treatise on postmodernism, with it taking place during the height of the modern era, the early 1900s. At the end, of the series Ed, who really believed "the world's one and only truth" was the laws of science (alchemy is science in that world) grew into accepting, "hey, i cant know everything, but that doesnt matter. all i can do is have faith that my dedication and actions will bring some type of reword, whether it was what i expected or not."
Being the son of a pastor, and having just declared myself atheist 1 year prior to my dad's death, the words of FMA really helped me out. "Maybe all there is is this Earth. Maybe there's more. It doesnt matter, all I can do is live life like my dad raised me to, and have faith that my actions and dedication will have an 'equivalent exchange' in my life, even if it's not what i was expecting"

Sophomore year of college I moved into a new apartment and the cable wasn't set up for 2 weeks. My roommate and I watched a spanish-subtitled copy of "Baseketball" every day at least once to pass the time after class.
Tangled and Frozen. They were light hearted and the songs would take my mind of knowing my Gran was going to die soon.
My Gran was diagnosed with cancer for the third time last year and spent a month and half at home with my mom and her siblings taking care of her as she died. I don't live close to my family any more so when I'd get the frequent phone calls with updates I'd put one of them on to keep my spirits up.

An older movie (1964), "Zulu" starring Stanley Baker and (introducing) Michael Caine. Not to do with the story, per se, but whenever I watch it, it reminds me of the first time I saw it, at around ten years of age. My dad showed it to me-I was on the edge of my seat, and I'll always remember that moment of being thrilled by a movie and sharing that experience with my dad. He's gone now, but I watch "Zulu" at least once a year to recapture a bit of that memory- when a young man feels that his father is infallible.
My class is staring at me fucking snickering right now.

Inception. I was having a rough patch with my dad whom I never can see eye to eye with but I still try to love him. The relationship between Robert and Maurice Fisher is like my relationship to my father; adversarial at best. I was already hurt and this movie brought out some of the best self reflection I had on that relationship in a long time.
Specifically it was the vault scene that broke me. In that the one of two items that were in that vault was the alternate will; the pinwheel broke me.
Not a movie, but I was going through a phase where I was lacking motivation at work due to numerous factors I didn't have control over. Then I started watching Suits and they looked so fucking sharp that I got my suits of my closet and fucking took control of my career, mostly by being badass and letting my boss and team know how much they need me.
Looks like you forgot the "serious" tag, OP! Rent helped me through a tough time in my life. It taught me that no matter how shitty life gets, if you have some awesome friends, it'll be okay and you'll get through it together.
My father was diabetic and I had a lot of trouble understanding why he sometimes ignored the doctors advice when he knew it was a huge risk. That movie helped me to cope with his choices and to remember that their is a greater reasoning to life.
Your meant to live life, not just stay alive.
He knew he was going to die but did what he could to live it. Even if it meant sneaking a butterscotch lifesavers every now and then with the risk of a sugar attack.
Lost my dad 4 years ago and it hurts my heart so much but at least I know he went down swinging.
Hope this helped OP. Internet hugs.

Into the wild. It made me realize that whatever I was going through, there's so much more out there to life that I don't have time to dwell on the negatives. Fantastic movie
Edit: after reading through the thread I realized I did it wrong
I know it's a TV show but honestly it helped so much, I can't help but mention it: The Office. Watching all these characters develop and go through life and (most of them) eventually succeed helped with depression through numerous binge watching sessions.
I had been in a very unhappy relationship for a long time that rendered me emotionally numb to just about everything in my life. I was indifferent to people's feelings, especially my own. I saw that movie and it did something to me. Watching the main character let go of the burden of his lost love and his connection to a fake relationship just made me realize I had missing out on feeling so much.
I was going through a terrible breakup and was all depressed with myself. Then I saw Paul Blart: Mall Cop. The movie inspired me to be just like Paul, and I mean just like him. Every. Single. Detail. Right down to the Hispanic daughter of his. Yes, I adopted a Hispanic child to be like Paul. Paul's my hero, man.
I was having a rough time once, then I went to the movies to watch Paul Blart Mall Cop 2. Except the theater wasn't showing the movie, so my time got rougher. I then watched Paul Blart Mall Cop twice, and my time got twice less rough.
Something something something something Paul Blart Mall Cop.

My friends left me and threw something at my head. I picked it up and it was Paul Blart Mall Cop. So I went home and played the movie.
Almost immediately, the movie cheered me up. God bless Kevin James!
I recently went to go see a physic. Before I even got to sit down she started freaking the "F" out about some terrible tragedy I was going to experience in the near future. She was mumbling and convulsing and I could barely understand. I could sorta make out the words "Cop" and "Blart." Then, something that sounded like the words "Maul" and "Fall" maybe? I'm too sure really. The only thing I could make out with confidence was the number "2." She kept saying the number "2" over and over and over. She was scaring me so badly I ran out of there before she could finish. Should I be worried?
This is a weird one because a lot people don't seem to like it, but Star Trek: Generations.
I've been really afraid of death my whole life, and of not accomplishing enough, not leaving enough behind. I wore watches since I was a little kid, and I was obsessed with time.
The theme of Generations is, in a nut shell, "chill the fuck out." We all die, the deaths are almost always pointless, but that's okay because your death isn't your life's statement. It's just an end. A period at the end of a sentence isn't more important than what was in the sentence.
Better to think of time as "a companion, reminding us to cherish each moment. Because it'll never come again."
I watched Disney movies like crazy when I was suicidal. Classic cartoons and new computer animation alike. There is something so comforting about retreating into yourself for a little while, into that child part of you, it helps make all the tough stuff go away. I hope you find something to see you through your tough time.
I'm not even joking but... Paul Blart: Mall Cop 2. Was gonna kill myself after hearing a rumor that there wouldn't be a second... But right before I was gonna do it... I saw a commercial for the second one. Then I put down the razor and washed off my wrists, because there was no reason to.../s

Went to a screening of Manic Cop on Halloween after a particularly nasty break-up. Halfway through the film, the film fried in the projector. They didn't have any other movies so I donated from my backpack. Paul Blart: Mall Cop is always refreshing and gives me gumption after I watch it.
Cloudy With A Chance Of Meatballs helps every time. It has a positive message of following your dreams no matter how bad you mess up, because even the things you mess up on can teach you something.

Very late to the party however this two movies helped me when I was going through a rough time.
Gone Girl: I ended up watching it because I was bored and the pure artwork of the movie made me have hope to one day create something that might be just as good or nearly as good.
Whiplash: I felt neither happy nor sad when I watched this, but after it I got really inspired to try and finish High School.
Yeah, it was too late before I was inundated by the Paul Blart Mall Cop tsunami. It was like the Japan tsunami 2011 again, but with more Kevin James.

Thank you for posting this. A very sad moment in my life a while back, and fo some reason, decided to watch a movie. I just chose Babel. It was the perfect movie to watch
When i found out i was adopted, Meet the Robinsons let me know the future is worth looking forward too
when i lost my job, office space reminded me why it sucked
when i lost my HS girlfriend due to a dating gameshow, mallrats showed me how to win her back
when my wife got held hostage by terrorists(again) die hard II showed me the best way to beat airport security
when i found out my best friend was a terrorist, unbreakable showed me not to trust people in wheelchairs
when i got shot by a guy i was supposed to kill, pulp fiction showed me that i dont have to be dead in the end like 6th sense, as long as i live my life non-linearly
i refuse to watch any live action film that does not have bruce willis, so i cant recomend paul blart until bruce stars in its eventual sequel, Die Hard/Mall Cop 7, MClaine vs. Blart

I watched it with a completely open mind and absolutely hated it. I think it overcomplicated relationships and everyone was way too overdramatic for me. Everyone said "Everyone can relate to this movie!" But no. I didn't. I think I didn't relate to it because I was neither part of the cool crowd, OR the lame crowd. I was really part of neither crowd, and hung out with a consist 3 people. I knew many people but didn't get close to any of them.
When I was the most depressed I've ever been in my life, Jacob's Ladder had a big impact on me. This is definitely its best line: "Eckhart saw Hell too. He said: The only thing that burns in Hell is the part of you that won't let go of life, your memories, your attachments. They burn them all away. But they're not punishing you, he said. They're freeing your soul. So, if you're frightened of dying and... and you're holding on, you'll see devils tearing your life away. But if you've made your peace, then the devils are really angels, freeing you from the earth."
I can't tell you anything else about the movie without spoiling it.
Edit: That quote is from Paul Blart. Sorry for the confusion.
You might have just changed the fate of the entire world.
For all we know, if this thread didn't devolve into Paul Blart jokes, it would have inspired someone to come up with the cure for cancer and a solution for eternal world peace... But it's just too late now.

I think you're referring to jet fuel and steel beams?
The joke is about conspiracy theories for 9/11.
The steel beams in the towers melted. Jet fuel doesn't burn hot enough to melt steel. The reason it is laughed off is that people foret that kenetic energy (movement energy) has to go somewhere when it stops. So it becomes heat. A plane crashing into it is enough energy to melt steel.

That movie makes me depressed because when I read the book I was the same age as Harry. That year, I got severely hurt, my dad nearly died (he's still kicking), and my dog died.
Random events all happened around that time frame. Seeing them that age just brings it all back.
Seven. I Saw some shit no one should amd delt with shity people no one should have to. And decided people=shit. But there are those exeptions of the people who helped me that i want to fight for. This made the last line hit me like a truck"this world is a fine place. That is worth fighting for."" I agree with the later "
I cried as I tied the noose, the tears that fell from my eyes I knew were the last tears to be shed for me. With no one left to live for I set the oaken chair beneath a large black rafter, the scratchy noose around my neck I prepared to kick the chair out from me underneath. But then I heard the TV mysteriously flip on in the room next to me, Paul Blart Mall Cop, I couldn't believe it, suddenly light shined upon me, I knew I was all right. That's how Paul Blart Mall Cop saved my life, thank you Kevin James, you magnificent bastard.

That's funny you should mention Paul Blart Mall Cop because that movie literally saved my life.
The story you ask? Well, the short version of it is I got in real deep with hard drugs and one day I found myself sucking some old guy's dick for money in a best buy alleyway and out of the corner of my eye I saw Paul Blart Mall Cop playing in the window and I laughed at that one funny part (you know the one).
That moment really changed my life and made me realize that I needed to stop doing hard drugs and sucking dick for money so I stopped and now I'm happy and successful. Thanks Paul Blart Mall Cop!

After watching the first one, which brought me out of a deep depression I was in, due to living a life without Paul Blart in it. I immediately had to see more, it turned into an addiction.
So I did the only thing anyone else would do in that situation. I went to home depot for a few supplies, and started building a time machine. Which didnt work out well and I dont want to talk about it because it upsets me to much. So I watched Paul Blart again to get my inspiration and hope back. After a 3 day marathon I was ready to try again.
So off I went to Ikea this time and just picked up the time machine kit they have there and some meatballs as well.
3 hours and 57 meatballs later the time machine was complete. I then used it to travel to the premier of the now best movie Paul Blart Mall Cop 2.
I was 14 and going through a really awkward phase. I spent a lot of time on that anime forum Gaia Online. It's really embarrassing to think about the ass I was making of myself. One day, there was a promotion that gave everyone special event items for their avatars: moustaches and Segways. Turns out the promotion for this new movie that was coming out. Frankly, it looked kind of dumb, but having been given new shit to deck out my avi, I was basically obligated to go see it. That was how things worked there. So I went to see this movie, and it really changed the way I see the world. It made me realize that all that toxic weaboo crap was rotting my brain, and I started to focus on the truly important things in life. I can't thank Paul Blart enough for that.
When I was going through my divorce, every night I'd watch Silver Linings Playbook and Under the Tuscan Sun. After about two weeks of watching those movies, I decided he was really gone and it was time for me to move on with MY life. Those two movies helped me see my extremely difficult time in a positive way and gave me hope for my own future.
Edit: Well shit reddit, you got me. I answered before I read the thread. While those two movies did help me through the most difficult time in my life, the most meaningful movie that to this day still brings tears to my eyes is Paul Blart Mall Cop. I saw it with my ex, who was a crustacean from the protozic era, was about 8 stories tall, and always asked me for tree fiddy.
So I had Psuedobulbar affect which is basically this condition that causes chronic laughter. It's like Tourettes when it comes to inappropriateness.
I remember at school we had a speaker come in and talk about their experiences as a prisoner in a concentration camp during the holocaust and when they'd finished talking about a particularly grim incidence involving their wife just going missing one day and never being seen again I burst out laughing. The rest of the year understood my condition but the poor man giving the talk had no idea, I had to be ushered out so that the talk could continue.
Another time, more recently, I was talking with a girl at a party and it was going pretty well, we were having an intelligent conversation and while I did laugh at some weird spots it probably just came across as drunken giggles. But then she brought up the fact that her dad killed her mum before killing himself and I could feel myself about to laugh, the problem is the more I try not to laugh the worse it gets, so after a minute or so I just start laughing my ass off, then this girl slaps me, hard, and runs off crying.
I've tried to seek all kinds of help for this, i've been to doctors and psychiatrists, none of whom have been helpful. My mates always try and come up with ways to stop me laughing, one even suggested biting into a potato whenever I started laughing. However I'll always be indebted to my good friend Steve who suggested we watch some films to try and fix me. We watched Apocalypse Now and I laughed throughout, we watched Requiem for a dream and I laughed throughout, then we watched Paul Blart: Mall Cop and don't you know, I haven't laughed since.
God bless Paul Blart.

Preferably, i enjoy quite A few Unusual movies, Lol. But that doesn't diminish my love for the Best movie ever. Like the most Awesome (but also most Retarded) movie ever. Trying not to drag this on too Much, but this deserves All the recognition and Love it can get. Let me finish this off with the best movie ever. Conveniently enough, if you Only look at the capitalized letters in the Paragraph, you will find true happiness. thank you
Except exponentially less awesome because it doesn't involve giant robot punching monsters in the face or shoryuken-ing someone into a bunch of change.
I'll second this. A guy I was in love with took the opportunity to burn me good in front of others, and twist the knife for no reason at all. The next day I went to see Tropic Thunder feeling like I had been eviscerated. I laughed my ass off--never have I been so grateful for a movie. I wish I could thank Ben Stiller personally.

I live at home with my dad, it is just me and him. We had a dog, who I've had since I was 5 years old (I'm 21 now). About 2 years ago they found a tumor on her lower jaw. They said that they could remove it if we wanted, but it would cost a lot of money, they would have to take her lower jaw off, and she was already 14 or so years old anyways, she didn't have much time left. Me and my dad decided to just let her live her life with as much dignity as possible, and at any sign of pain or discomfort we would bring her in to get her put down.
That happened about 2 months ago. I came home a wreck. I do not have any memories prior to having this dog. This dog as been part of my life since forever as far as I'm concerned, and I lost my best friend. We came home, cried for a little bit, then booted up apple TV and rented Guardians of the Galaxy. We saw it in theatres and loved it, so we watched it again. It really helped take my mind of things for a few hours.
one of my all time favorite movie and directors. I bought it on iTunes and have it on my phone and iPad and will turn it on to watch while falling asleep.
I do this, too. The music and the attention to language are wonderful. If you aren't trying to figure out what they're saying (or you already know because that's how often you've watched it), it's the world's greatest lullaby.
haha...yeah, if I don't watch the movie, I'll sometimes listen to the sound track. Yann Tiersen is a great artist. and my French is too terrible to catch more than 1% of the words.
You know what OP? I'm going to do you a solid and give you a real answer.
Back in junior year of high school, my best friend (more like a brother) had gotten in an accident where this dude ran a red light and t-boned his truck. He died on impact and it really fucked me up for some time.
About a year later, my other friends invited me to go see this new movie in the theaters and I went ahead to watch it. Turns out, Kevin James knows his shit and Paul Blart: Mall Cop got me through the death of my friend.
I can't think of a single tough time that doesn't involve me looking back at that silly guy and smiling.

Fight Club because well you know, your not your fu#$ing khakis.
You do realise that movie isn't for anti consumerism right? You do realise Tyler Durden is a false prophet, right?
Why does nobody ever actually realise what that movie is about. You should try a movie that's got a more up-front message of hope and joy. Like Paul Blart Mall Cop. Now THERE is a life changing movie.

Standing on some pretty firm ground with fight club but im willing to throw you a shovel. If you wanna grab some concrete mix we may very well have a foundation where both can be looked upon with great envy and optimism. One small but important request, my side must be inscribed "His Name Was Robert Paulson". Looking forward to putting the team back together and getting this done.
Paul Blart aside, seriously, that movie is about abandoning ones own sanity for following an admittedly schizophrenic false prophet who uses semi-truths to manipulate people to focus their rage into his own power and the faults that lie within. Pay attention to the ending of that story. Tyler Durden was never the hero.

I'm no one's said Paul Blart Mall Cop yet! A truly inspirational movie, good for any occasion.
I had Despicable Me on DVD when my parents were fighting a lot and eventually got divorced in 2011. My 16 year old self must have watched it 20 times that year. It made me consistently laugh during one of the most miserable periods of my life. Thanks Gru :)
The Secret Life of Walter Mitty. No joke. My ex had just left me for another girl, I was in a really dark place, and I decided to go shopping and see a movie by myself. The film had already been out for a few weeks, so I sat in an empty theatre and watched it completely alone. It was such a funny and quirky movie, with a great message. Pretty much: leave your comfort zone, do something bold, and along the way you'll discover more about yourself that you never knew before.
"In the Steven Spielberg movie "E.T.," why is the alien brown? No reason. In "Love Story," why do the two characters fall madly in love with each other? No reason. In Oliver Stone's "JFK," why is the President suddenly assassinated by some stranger? No reason. In the excellent "Chain Saw Massacre" by Tobe Hooper, why don't we ever see the characters go to the bathroom or wash their hands like people do in real life? Absolutely no reason. Worse, in "The Pianist" by Polanski, how come this guy has to hide and live like a bum when he plays the piano so well? Once again the answer is, no reason. I could go on for hours with more examples. The list is endless. You probably never gave it a thought, but all great films, without exception, contain an important element of no reason. And you know why? Because life itself is filled with no reason. Why can't we see the air all around us? No reason. Why are we always thinking? No reason. Why do some people love sausages and other people hate sausages? No fuckin' reason."

As gay as this is going to sound. Brokeback mountain. I wasn't sure about coming out or about loving a man in general until I saw that movie. I cried and then realized it doesn't matter and that I can conquer the world!
Nothing is lost under the careful watch of Paul Blart

After a suicide attempt in sophomore year (ugh high school) I watched Girl, Interrupted.
Even now I struggle to describe how immensely that movie spoke to me. It was as if someone had heard all the thoughts in my head and made a movie about their interactions. Girl, Interrupted made me realize that no one was going to "save me". I had to choose to help myself. I had to have enough empathy for myself to heal.
I've wasted a year of my life. Maybe everybody out there is a liar. And maybe the whole world is "stupid" and "ignorant". But I'd rather be in it.

This is not me, but my grandfather's story. His name is Steve Blart.
December 7th, 1941. I was stationed on the USS Arizona. At Pearl Harbor was a small theater, where people could relax. I sat down with my buds, Cpl. Stevens and Pvt. Smith. Were were going to watch The Philadelphia Story, when suddenly, the ghost of Kevin James appeared. He said unto us:
"You have been chosen to carry the burden of ultimate knowledge. I will show you enlightenment through my film "'Paul Blart: Mall Cop.'"
We were immobilized and forced to watch the masterpiece three times. It was the best 273 minutes of my life.
Then the Japanese attacked.
I was a radio operator. I ran to my post, and received a radio message from Admiral Veck Sims of the Japanese Navy. He said, "When are you gonna give up, Blart?"
I yelled into the receiver, "How about now? I'll meet you on the corner of "NE" and "VER"!"
I ran to the AA and gunned down 7 Japanese Zeroes. I turned around and watched my ship sink into the harbor. If it hadn't been for that film, I would have lost hope. But then I remembered Paul Blart's words:
I always like action movies when I'm in a bad mood. District 13 and its sequel, District 13: Ultimatum, are two of my favorite action movies on Netflix right now (they are in French, but worth it). Hot Fuzz is really good if you're more in the mood for a comedy. Hope this helps! :)
Yeah, it was literally "I'm not pretty, nobody loves me, I'm soooooo stupid, I don't wanna go to work in the morning!" but my mind was treating it like it was the end of the world. Silly hormones.
I survived Auschwitz, all of my family and friends died there. When I got out i had nothing to live for. Finally over 60 years later I found true peace after watching Paul Blart: Mall Cop. :')
After my dog died I was absolutely filled with misery, but then a man named Kevin James told me about the rabbits and the alfalfa, and made this life changing cinematic experience, that was Paul Blart: Mall Cop. Now I own Microsoft.
I'll give you a real answer, OP: Inglorious Basterds. When I'm upset, I develop a very sick sense of humor that is perfectly satasfied by this movie. When I was super depressed in high school I would watch it every day after school. That and Django Unchained.
OP, post this in r/movies. You'll get serious answers there.

Snakes on a Plane worked before Reddit was a thing. It's no big deal. Just close the tab and move on or enjoy the humor in it I guess.
Pathetic, all yuo people are acting like bullies. Stop spamming the same lengthy posts, just to get some karma. Honestly, I thought reddit would be Better than this.
I was dealing with a lot of anxiety issues one semester in college, so I watched Hot Rod to try to snap out of it. But there was just something missing; something like an overweight man acting as a mall cop. Then I heard about Paul Blart: Mall Cop, so I watched it immediately and haven't looked back since.
I was anxiety and depression was at an all time low, I couldn't work or go to school or sometimes even feed myself. I lived alone and cried myself to sleep more nights than not. Above all I felt like a waste of sace. I wasn't good for anything and just caused my friends and family pain and trouble.
Serenity is all about River Tam from Firefly (if you haven't seen it, go now. It's on netflix last I checked and there are SPOILERS ahead) who was a genius, brillantly talented girl until some bad people messed with her mind. By the time we meet her, she is utterly broken. She has severe psychosis, panic attacks, and generally has to be cared for and protected from herself by her older brother.
Throughout the series and movie she's pretty useless (and sometimes much more trouble than she's worth), just as I felt, but when it's really important she pulls through and saves the day.
TL;DR Serenity always gave me hope that maybe I was still worthwhile, no matter how broken I was.
This winter was super horrible, was stuck inside for several snow days. I saw Paul Blart Mall Cop and it just gave me hope that I might be in a mall again someday and that spring might just come.
I'd have you say V for Vendetta and doctor wgot. Now I'll quantify that somewhat.
A few years ago I left England to live with my wife elsewhere. And like you would expect you get terribly homesick and depressed around the holidays.V or vendetta started when i just wanted to feel close to home the first year i was away. Bonfire night was my favorite time of year af a child. Just watching a film based on the idea of guy fawkes made me feel better. Like i was back hone on November the 5th. This has become a yearly ritual with myself and my wife sitting down every November 5th to watch it.
Then it's the big one. As a child my father and i would watch old doctor who episodes at Christmas it was a tradition every year. This continued when BBC renewed the series in 2005. So every Christmas i get a copy from the net sit down and it makes me feel better about missing my friends and family. As i know they are doing the exact same thing as i am.
It may now seem much but it makes me feel more connected to my loved ones that are thousands of miles away every holiday season.
Trainspotting. Studying for exams on a Saturday night. Nothing was sinking in. Started feeling super anxious and overwhelmed. Friends walk past and ask if I want to go up to someone's dorm to watch a movie. Thought to myself that I should go to bed,get some sleep and start early the next day. I am really glad I did not and watched trainspotting.
There is a movie called Spork that helped me through a bad break up coupled with some other depressing shit. It used to be on Netflix but they took it down, you might have to dig for it, but it is one of my favorite movies and very much worth a watch :)

There is a beautiful animated film titled Tekkonkinkreet that takes an in depth look into many relationships and character motivations. It helped me understand what was going for both myself and other affected parties in recent adversity.

The movies that helped me through a rough time are Requiem for a Dream and The Basketball Diaries. I went through a very difficult time with addiction and seeing those two movies really made me reflect on the person that I had become. Especially the part where Leo's mom called the cops on him as he was begging for drug money. Ripped my heart out and I haven't looked back since. Requiem is a very, very dark brilliant film that truly captures the pitfalls of addiction. I would really recommend these films for anyone struggling.
I had sex with Kevin James & was scarred for life. Then, I saw him in Paul Blart Mall Cop & realized what a diamond in the rough I'd had. As his fame skyrocketed, all my friends became jealous that I hooked up with such a famous guy & I became the most popular girl at my university.

I remember in High School I was feeling really depressed and decided to go see a random movie in theaters. I got tickets to see Meet the Robinsons. It made me feel so happy at the end. Now whenever I feel bad, I go to kids movie to recapture that fuzzy feeling.
Edit: Of course this feeling was never repeated until I saw Paul Bart Mall Cop.
Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl. It came out when I was 13, and in a mental hospital for the thousanth time when I was a kid. I had no reason to be in that place at that time, and my mother agrees with me, but I digress. As stated above, I was in mental hospitals several times for suicidal thoughts/major depression. I went through more than any child should have to handle, and I just wanted to end the suffering.
When POTC came out in theaters, my mom was able to get a pass for me so I could go away from the hospital for a few hours. We went to see this movie and it was the moment when I fell in love with Johnny Depp. His portrayal of (Captain) Jack Sparrow was amazing. For the first time in a long time, I truly laughed while watching the movie. From then on I have made it a point to watch Johnny's movies (some of which I have yet to see!) For a couple hours that day, he let me escape the hell of my world and enter an entirely different one. People don't understand why I love Johnny Depp so much, but it's a reason I like to keep to myself. It is my biggest dream to meet Johnny Depp, and to tell him in person how much Jack Sparrow (Captain), helped me heal from my inner demons. And how much he as an actor has provided me with a means to cope. That hospitalization was the last of several that I ever had for mental health issues. Thank you for this question, OP. It was nice to actually type all this out for once, even if no one reads it.
Edit: As I scroll through the replies I'm reading all of those "jokes" about Mall Cop. I'm sorry, OP, that that happened.
Non so far unfortunately. Recently I've had a lot of struggles in life. Money's been tight. I've had health concerns for the past few years and the doctors bills are piling up. I've been losing interest in my job because I dont enjoy it anymore. My cat ran away and my wife left in the same week and I may be getting evicted soon. The only break I get from life is sitting down with a good, inspiring movie and I could really use a good pick me on to get me motivated and back on my feet. So if anyone in this thread has any movie suggestions for someone who works as a mall security officer struggling in life and down on his luck, I'd love to hear it
I had just lost my wife and job and was developing a very serious drinking problem. I was sick, depressed, and thinking of ending it all. But one very special German movie showed me the light, I believe the locals call it Paul Blart Zentrum Polizei.
I'd gone through a really painful breakup with a guy who seemed like the whole package, but, unbeknownst to me, wasn't comfortable with the idea of being a part of my child's life (the moment he told me was the moment everything ended). So that weekend I had my cousin over and we had a bottle of wine each and finished them before the movie was over. And then I just kept watching it whenever I felt bad in the weeks that followed.

Eddie Izzard: Dressed To Kill I was just about as sick as I've ever been in my life. My kid was staying at his Grandma's and friends were bringing me food. I laughed my ass off, slept for almost 24 hours and felt much better.
Good Will Hunting. It made me realize that I put on such a mask around people I care about, and that I wasn't ready for a serious relationship for that reason.
After my friend died in a horrible accident, every time I closed my eyes I could see the giant flashing fire ball that was her tragic end. After a night of tossing and turning and unable to get the screaming screech of that wheel out of my head I turned on the tv to break away from the madness. I started watching a movie about a young man who seemed like a loser but ended up being a grand hero. If it wasn't for Paul Blart and my emotional connection to his masterful role I'd still be in therapy.
Please properly oil your wheels, plastic is combustible when placed under the high speed of hamster feet. May you RIP in peace gizmo, you were one fast hamster ;(
As I dress myself for work, I like to open my wallet and look at the diminishing photo of Kevin James I keep under my license. His moustached smile drives my through the hardest of days as the memory of Paul Blart: Mall Cop warms me in ways a woman never will.
When were you when Heat Legend dies? I was home watching Paul Blart Mall Cop when Pjotr ring. "Heat is dead." "No." Didn't matter, watched Paul Blart Mall Cop.
I spent about $300 this weekend. Didn't get laid, made a fool of myself and will probably bomb my final on Tuesday, but Paul Mart Blart Cop made me feel okay.
Paul Blart mall cop inspired me go out to suffocate osama bin laden with his neck beard. I also managed to get my ex girlfreind back after see saw the beuatiful love handles of Paul Blart.

Everyone in this thread is ridiculous. But to answer ops question, when I was out of work a few years back, I didn't have any cable and was shit poor. All I had was a Paul Blart DVD and my old Xbox 360. That movie definitely helped me through the hard times and took my mind off the fact that I just burned my last pack of ramen.
Not me but my great grand dad was going through that film era where loads of spaghetti westerns were coming into the states.
It coincided with the Great Depression so definitely a difficult time for him.
He kept a journal that our family held onto because his story was quite inspiring since he went on to become very successful after the recession.
Anyway it all came about thanks to the silent screening of perhaps one of the greatest spaghetti western classics, Pauly Blartholomew, Bazaar Cowboy. We still have the reel
What is Paul Blart? Baby don't Mall me. Don't Cop me. No more.

I got dumped today and was having a rough time. I got drunk, went to reddit and everyone talking about Paul Blart Mall Cop made me laugh harder than I have in weeks.
I'm a pro comedian and this is what I consider highbrow comedy
How did I miss the Paul Blart Mall Cop karma train?! Oh but on a serious note, there is a lot of great movies. Classics and greatest hits. Movies that just stand out in there own genre. Really depends how your feeling. Action to get you going and motivated. Comedy to cheer you up. Serious film to hit you in the feels. Drama to get you thinking. But thankfully. Paul Blart mall cop has it all. Enjoy!
New goal reddit: get Paul Blart: Mall Cop to the top of the imdb 250, where it rightly deserves to be if it wasn't for the mainstream conspiracy against Kevin James. Right this wrong, give PBMC a 10/10 on imdb

I'm just going to risk everything on this thread and say Blazing Saddles, It's easily my favorite comedy, it's one of the only good parody films and features an entire scene that breaks it's own 4th wall. How many movies do you know that creates and destroys it's own 4th wall?
OK, serious answer. Ten years ago I was kidnapped. I was a tourist in California and met a very good looking woman. We went back to her place but two other men were there and they knocked me unconscious. When I woke up, I was down a well in a basement. I could hear the yapping of a small dog and some weird music about horses. I yelled out for help and the music stopped but not the yapping.
A large figure appeared above me, it was Kevin James. I had seen him in that King of Queens show but barely knew him. I asked him to help me and he yelled at me. He lowered down a bucket of KFC chicken skins. I was to rub the chicken grease on my skin.
I was down there for two weeks before the police came and found me. They had help from Rob Schneider who was serving time for kidnapping local immigrants from Home Depot to choke him in the shower. They did catch Kevin James but the only punishment he got was to do some pro-Gay movie (apparently the officer who arrested him was big into gay rights).
I suffered from some serious PTSD. Every time I saw the Cornel I had a panic attack. I HATED Kevin James with a passion. I saw him as a monster. Then one day I put on Paul Blart: Mall Cop. I thought it was a Seth Rogan movie but then I was staring at my kidnapper once more. I was scared but then a chuckle came from me at his on screen antics. I was suprised at my reaction but then I laughed again. I had many guffaws watching that movie.
I now love Kevin James and am thankful for such a great movie in Paul Blart Mall Cop.
I was diagnosed with stage 6 lymphoma. Every day was physical and emotional pain, and being trapped in that hospital bed drained every bit of life left in me.
One morning, the nurse put on a movie on the tv in the corner of the room. It hurt to crane my neck but since I had nothing left to live for, I eagerly watched the screen. Kevin James' angel-like face appeared upon the screen. All it took was one glance and I felt as if a golden warmth spread throughout my body, from the top of my head to the very tips of my toes. I sat up and in amazement, I felt fine. No, better than fine. I felt FANTASTIC and I got up and skipped around as Kevin James' glory and love rained down on me. The doctor ran some tests and I was cured. It was true! Later that afternoon I walked out of that hospital full of glee, Kevin James' wonderful moustache stuck in my mind.
It was the same day that I wanted to pledge my allegiance to Paul Blart. I got his face tattooed on my dick and I've never made a better decision in my life.
Paul Blart saved my life. I love you, Kevin James.

Also, I just enjoy talking about the movie, so feel free to chime with whatever.

Ahh. I see. I should have scanned the thread first. Admittedly, My Dinner With Andre touched only very briefly on the concept of mall security, and then only in the context of early 20th century surrealist poetry.
Fuck the hivemind, thank you for posting a movie that actually helped you through hard times. I'll be watching this movie tonight when I get off work :)
My girlfriend of 5 years broke up with me and I was having a really rough time dealing with it. Then I watched Paul Blart Mall Cop and it made my realize I didn't have to live this way. Thanks Kevin James.

Bo Burnham's What helped me through quite a bit. He loads his jokes with a ton of hidden meaning so it takes a long time to get every single one. Loved it each time.
Oh god, anything to take my mind off of her for a while- I lean towards gritty, seedy noir and stuff like Fight Club, Trainspotting, Barfly, etc.. But after a while I kind of found some solace in watching cheesy romances- Meet Joe Black comes to mind (god what a fucking terrible film that was!) I'm a little embarrassed to say the other ones- they were all terrible, actually- she ruined me! ;)

When I was depressed, alone, and drinking heavily every day, I watched Batman Begins, and the Dark Knight every night for at least a month. Back to back.
Dark Knight Rises wasn't out yet.. it was just nice to get caught up in it.

For me, my ultimate feel better movies are Wall-E, Nightmare Before Christmas, and To Wong Foo. I went through a couple hard times over the years, and would binge watch them. I've actually gone through several VHSs and DVDs of Nightmare just from wearing them out.

My dog died. Then my cat died. Then my bunny rabbit died. Then my rats got leukemia.
After the only true friends I ever had in this world passed away, I went onto Netflix and found Paul Blart Mall Cop. I no longer felt sad. I am now a psychopath.

I used to be paralyzed from the neck down. Then I watched Paul Blart Mall Cop. I'm still paralyzed, but I feel a lot better about it.
My fiance had cheated on me. We dated for 5 years. I was depressed until my mom recommended paul blart mall cop. Paul blart touched me in so many ways, i could not describe it.
Finding out my only son was gay, my daughter was a prostitute, my wife was walking out on me, my dog getting run over, my cat developing diarrhea and forgetting where the litter box was, my fish tank exploding, my bed imploding, getting fired from work, and my left big toenail becoming ingrown, all in the course of three days, I was able to get a respite for a whole hour (and a piece of another one) by watching Paul Blart, Mall Cop.
It was a really tough time in my life. my marriage was falling apart, i had a serious drinking problem, i was about to be evicted and i lost my job. then, like a shining beacon of light in the night, i saw a film. a film that spoke to me in a way i never thought possible. not only spoke to my mind, but spoke to my soul. i divorced my cheating wife, found a new job, went back to school and eventually got my masters in film and tv studies, all thanks to that film. that film was Paul Blart: Mall Cop.

A couple years back I was having a really tough time getting through watching Paul Blart Mall Cop, but then I took a break and went and watched Paul Blart Mall Cop, and it gave me the strength to go back and finish watching Paul Blart Mall Cop.

Also, Paul Blart: Mall Rats... wait... Silent Bob: Mall Cop... no. Dammit, I had something for this.
I have really been going through a tuff time in both my personal life and also in my studies. I was really feeling down one night. I had been working on work all day and well into the night with no end in sight. I layed down on the floor of my dorm room and took a break from work to put on a movie. I wasn't even watching really watching at first but I started laughing at a few lines I heard. By the time the movie ended I was glued to ghe screen with tears of happiness streaming down my face. The movie? Paul Blart: Mall Cop.
Happy cakeday! Hey do you want to get together and watch a movie together or something? And no I'm not gonna recommend Paul Blart Mall Cop lol
I already saw that so lets see the sequel!

Considering this thread has gone to shit I'll give you a suggestion that might help. After I dropped out of college my junior year due to depression my girlfriend left me and I was living at home getting shit from my parents everyday. Constantly being told that I was essentially taking up space and a useless human being. ( my parents have always been very harsh ) a friend of mine told me to watch Paul Bart Mall Cop.... And honestly it got my life back on the right track and now I'm in a healthy relationship and back in school wrapping up my last year!
I had really bad homesickness on my study abroad in Mexico, but found solace in Paul Blart: Policia del Centro Commercial

I remember going through highschool being the fat kid, life was awful, all I was ever known for was being big, every girl I was interested in didn't see me as even remotely dateable, friendships seemed fake and I sunk into a deep deppression. Then one night I got really high and watched this beautiful movie full of dancing and gorgeous singing and heartbreak that taught me the meaning of a beautiful sadness and enabled me to live with where I was. Thank you Kevin James, Paul Blart mall cop was truly a masterpeice that saved my life.
I have hole in me that I'm constantly trying to fill. I like to call it my God hole. Some people fill it with religion but I choose to fill it with Paul Blart Mall Cop. It really helps me get through life.
Seeing all the serious replies here (not Paul Blart) being downvoted, I think it's time to report all these non-serious posts. Fuck the serious tag being missing, it's anti-serious that I have a problem with.
My parents had gone overseas. I had taken two weeks off work, and so had my brother. We had both broken up with our girlfriends that week. He was working in demolitions at the time and we scrapped a shitload of copper and made around $2000. Well, for those two weeks all we did was sit around, watch Talladega Nights, played Skate, and lived like kings!
Believe it or not, The Rugrats in Paris Movie. I was having a lot of family troubles and I decided to watch it out of nostalgia. It helped me realize that almost everything (except most diseases...sorry guys) gets better with time.
I feel like the new Seann William Scott movie "Just Before I Go" would've helped me a lot because I struggled with depression. It's just a reminder that everyone lives for someone.
There was a movie I watched back when everything falls apart in my life. Its about a segway cop in a mall, though I forgot the name of the film... If anyone knows please do help a fellow redditor... I haven't watched it in a long time and I think my soul is already leaking out...
Thank you! You've saved my life, I can feel my soul coming back in!!!

When I lived in Colorado, I felt very lonely. I was straight out of the eighth grade and began attending an entirely new school (this school was 6th grade through high school, which made it even harder to fit in with the already established cliques). On top of this, I had moved away from my mother to live with my father. My mother was always so gentile and kind, but my father was much more ruthless and harder to deal with. But, I tried to pull through since I really wanted to go to this school.
It wasn't until a few months that a deep depression began to sink in. We had tried everything, therapy, exercise, more therapy, but all of it failed. Even with my new friends, I just felt empty and didn't feel like I was having nearly as much fun as I was having just last year. It got really bad to a point when I almost killed myself before my father got home. But, I tried my best to keep dragging on.
I took a stroll down to the video store as I usually would on a usual lonely Saturday and picked up a few movies. One of those films was The Perks of Being a Wallflower. I had heard a lot about this film and decided to check it out. I rented my movies and walked back home. Although I had gotten about 4 films that day, I was particularly excited to watch The Perks of Being a Wallflower. I was always a fan of coming of age films and, given all the positive feedback I had heard about this one, I could hardly wait to watch it.
As soon as I got home, I pulled out my usual chair and turned on the DVD player. I opened the copy of The Perks of Being A Wallflower and, low and behold, it was a copy of Paul Blart: Mall Cop. I watched that instead, which caused my dick to grow and everyone at my school to praise me. Movie's dope af.
I was rought time then "paul blaty mall caps" helps me feel butter. I reccomend blart if you are boy and not with girl but want girl with you. "Paul blat mell cop" is a love story with boy and girl (jus like you) but hour will park blast telltop react when daughter is kidnap? Find out in "pull up smallcopter".
For fuck's sake I'm jumping on board, AFTER the ship has sailed, but I don't care! .... I hear that movie is quiet exelent here on this thread and I guess I need to see this Paul Whatshisname Mall Cop.
After I put on some weight, I watched the masterpiece that is Paul Blart Mall Cop. I realized that life really is worth living and that just to be who you are. Even if it means being a gigantic sellout like Kevin James.
My little brother got hit with a car when I was 13. All day I'd sit around looking for something to make me happy again, fill the void the car had made in my soul. My dad knew he needed to help me, so he took me to the movies. The film was Alvin and The Chipmunks, and goddamn was it amazing. I saw it 37 times before it left theatres and then waited in agony for it to come out on DVD. Finally I was able to buy a copy and popped it my DVD player. The chapter skip button on my remote was broken so I let it show me all the trailers. The first trailer? Paul Blart: Mall Cop.
Thanks Alvin and the Chipmunks, for being good enough to introduce me to my new tough times movie, and thanks car for killing my brother and making this all possible

Never thought much about this before... Just seemed like a kinda natural thing to do. You see, my dog died at the age of 14. I was only three years older. Truly a trying time for me. Instead of being able to recover, my uncle's brothers' daughters' goldfishes' co-owners' dog died that same day. He was a good friend of mine and we didn't know what to do. We looked around at gateway drugs, but were stopped for loitering... Paul Blart Mall Cop was the only thing that got us through high-school.

Not a movie but the Friends DVDs. I watched all 10 seasons 4 times in a row when I was sad one summer. I'll always have a special place in my heart for that show even though I'm kinda sick of it now :)

There's a really great Spanish film that came out a few years ago that I always watch when I'm down. It's called Pablo Blarto, and it's about a security-type officer in a municipal commercial center.
I'm surprised no one has mentioned Paul Blart Mall Cop yet.

I'd just missed my train for my job interview. "Every FUCKING time" I shouted. I'd been unemployed for a year, it seemed like something just wanted me to fail. I had no girlfriend, I was missing payments on my apartment, and now, I'd lost yet another chance at a job. I kicked the pavement. Shouted and groaned for all the world to hear. I was considering ending it all. Really fucking dark stuff.
But then.
"Ouch" there was blood coming from my head
A blu-ray DVD on the ground, it must have hit me.
Paul Blart Mall Cop was the title.
I went home, popped it in my Wii and hit play. What occurred next I can hardly recall. A blur of sights and sounds, the inspirational antics of Kevin James soothed me into a state of pure bliss. I set out the second the movie ended and turned my life around.
Some of you may know who I am today.
A mogul of sorts.
My name? Shaquille O'neal. Paul Blart saved my life.
when I found out my girlfriend might've been pregnant, I was scared. I knew if she was, her parents would never let me see her again, they probably would've kicked her out, and she wouldn't be able to forgive me. I was terrified, she had all the symptoms, sensitive breasts, delayed period, and she even threw up a few times. I didn't know what to do with my life. I lost my appetite, and my friends couldn't even get a smile out of me, despite their best efforts, I even contemplated jumping a couple of times. Until, as if God himself was speaking to me, a movie came up to my attention on television. Paul Blart: Mall Cop. I admit, when I saw the trailers when I was young and innocent, I never paid too much attention to it. But seeing Kevin James playing guitar hero, and defending what he cared about, what really MATTERED to him, I knew I had to do the same for my girl. I told her we would rise to face whatever came our way. She actually wasn't pregnant as if we were given a second chance at youth. Thank you, Kevin. Your story has saved our love, and my life.
I ended up making some... questionable choices through growing up so when I was in my early adulthood (Roughly the 20-25 range) I was into all kinds of bad stuff.
I had no contact with my parents because of their disapproval of my heavy drug use and many of my friends from high school had gone on to collage or had become successful it seemed to me in one way or another. I still worked though, just not very hard or for very long. Basically just enough to be able to jump from motel to motel and pay for the bus fare.
I was to the point where I was basically that guy you see in the old movies who is the classic stereotype of a homeless person. I looked terrible, had no home, basically did anything to make a quick buck to either get some shit food or get some more drugs. I felt like I should have just given up.
Years later though, here I am. I cleaned myself up and got a decent job, as good of one as I could have gotten, and I even had enough extra money laying around to get myself the first thing i ever truly loved. A tattoo! just a small one and it's of my favorite creature on earth, the Lochness Monster. After seeing how good a job Kevin James did in Paul Blart Mall Cop, it helped me aspire to be a little bit more.
This is incredible. Just like Paul Blart, Mall Cop.

Holy crap this is the best Reddit thread I've seen in a long time. That being said, Paul Blart Mall Cop is a film I'll make sure to show my children, their children, and pass down thru generations.
When I was 9, I fell into a deep well. I had to tread water for hours, until finally someone came to help me, my dog. He unfortunately fell straight in, drowned after ten minutes, I couldn't keep him afloat RIP MAISY :'(. Eventually my Mom noticed something different, something was gone, the dog. She came out yelling Maisy's name and I called out to her, she saved me. Months of therapy and counseling couldn't help me, but one day I sat down and watched a movie, Paul Blart: Mall Cop. It was truly a freeing experience and I felt my fear of closed spaces disappear, a month later, I grew my wings and flew away from my terrible mother.

What kind of a rough time? Usually anything that will distract you, and make sure it's part of a group of movies or long movies or something.
So any good trilogies or movie chronicles, like Matrix, Batman Chris Nolan, Indiana Jones, Star Trek films (not the Abrahms lens flare, I mean TOS actors), Harry Potter, the Marvel Universe movies, Star Wars, LOTR.
Unless you want to confront what's going on with your life. I'd probably need more information to be actually informative on what genre/type of films are relevant to your problem.
Fun with Dick and Jane. I was going through my first huge breakup and after I saw that movie I realized that there will be someone out there who gets you for your quirks and will put in as much effort to make things work out no matter what as you do. Which both Dick and Jane did for one another to make ends meet. Plus its a pretty damn good movie.
Haha this thread is too funny.
But in all seriousness, growing up was a hard time. My family had just moved from Vietnam to the states and I had a tough time adjusting to American culture. Sometimes I would come home, horrified at how homesick I was. My mom had brought with us a collection of VHS tapes from Vietnam and I remember one in particular titled "Poc Llam Tralb Laup" that would always bring a smile to my face and make me feel right at home.
Secret Life of Walter Mitty really helped me open my eyes and live. I am now living in Hawaii, going on random adventures, doing things I never thought I would do
Not a movie, but basically any animated "adult cartoon", with my favorites being Family Guy, American Dad, The Cleveland Show, Bob's Burgers, Archer, Futurama, and the Simpsons. They helped me get through my fiance leaving me and the depression which eventually caused me to drop out of college (I'm going back and graduate in 2 months :))

This is one of the most meta threads I've ever read
The Dark Knight Rises. I understand it is not the greatest of movies, but I was 18 years old had just finished up my freshmen year at CSUN and was completely done. I came in to school as an art major but I could not paint anymore to save my life so before my freshmen year started I switched to Journalism.
I never took a Journalism class during my freshmen year and at the end I did not really love journalism. I was in love with the idea of watching NBA games for the rest of my life. However that is not changing anything that was conforming in my eyes. So I finish my freshmen year and I failed a class. Which shattered my dreams of transferring to USC. I was in a bad relationship this girl was pretty abusive and my dad was just out of chemotherapy.
So I went to the valley between my freshmen and sophomore years. I was working part time at a Papa Johns my cousin was manager of. Around that time I decided I wanted to direct movies so I made the major change at school. While living in the valley with my cousin since I wanted some type away from LA. There was nothing to do so instead of getting into trouble we watched at least 4 movies a day and went to the discount movies at least once a week. This is where I developed a deep love for films.
So I was already surging with creativity and when the dark knight rises comes around here I see Nolan catching some scenes in places I walk by. Places I have seen and would have loved to capture on screen myself. So nostalgia certainly played a role in it. Especially the horrible shooting it all boiled down to I want to make people feel this epic and heaven on earth feeling that movies make me feel.
Since my movie pallet has dramatically increased however it was nolan that put me on. I am graduating in May and I just won a scholarship for a feature film I wrote. DOPE!
I was actually going through a tough time after I had dropped out of college. My first semester was terrible and I had finished the term with a 1.8 GPA. I had originally been a mass communications major, with plans to go into radio but just couldn't handle all the stress that came with school.
So after dropping out, I spent most of my days at home and working at my current job at a movie theatre. One day in switching posters and I find this bad boy. Went straight to Redbox straight after that and I now my life has been changed for the better.
Guys, I just wanted to say that this thread is hilarious.
I started to shake from laughter, and I accidentally scratched my cornea as I itched my eyes.
I immediately tried to grab the phone to dial 911, but without depth perception, I knocked the phone off its stand, and it shattered on the floor.
My hands were covered in eye blood, and I didn't know what to do, and I couldn't get help. I cried from the eye I could, and sat down on my couch. My eye was in too much pain to go to sleep, so I sat there for an hour. I considered suicide so strongly, as I struggle with depression and this was the lowest of lows.
Before I left though, I figured I'd watch a movie from my large collection. I have to say, watching Paul Blart: Mall Cop is the only reason I am still alive at this moment. It took me out of my deepest agony, and I can now rest in peace.
When I was struggling with my standup Comedy, Paul Blart really helped me with my Segways.....

I'm glad you asked OP. Back in december, both my cats died in the same week (one got hit by a car, the other a coyote got to him). Then the week after that, my Grandfather died after struggling with Alzheimers for 5 years. Needless to say, my whole family was distraught, and we needed something to take our minds off the tragedies. Instead of listing the movies, here is an imgur album with all the titles and promo posters for them so you can pick for yourself :)
I was hoping to say something about how "Clerks" really got me through hating my life when I first worked retail... but the truth is, Paul Blart: Mall Cop completed erased all memory of that.

Away We Go helped me to cry and get over my Miscarriages.
Kind of awkward because it's a movie about having a baby but I feel like a big part of the movie is grieving losses and moving on to what's best.
It wasn't that she was strung out on drugs, it was that she let anyone inside her both physically and emotionally.
I tried to love her but she had no limits and there were so many parties and men and women and pushers and dealers and ragers and takers.
I couldn't find my place.
She was beautiful but in a way that something floating in the breeze about to disappear is beautiful. There is no time to catch it on camera. You look a bit harder and hope the image burns through your retina and never leaves your memories.
I got the news she had died a few months later. She and a girlfriend of hers had been camping and she had been stabbed and nobody that knew her even flinched. If it hadn't been this way, it would have surely been another.
Few tears were shed but I remembered her for the way she used to wrap her legs around my body and hold me as we made love and I never wanted it to end.
And sometimes, when I would feel the itch near my tear ducts and my mind would race to try to avoid the sadness of loss and grasp quickly towards those happier times when she and I were together, I would think of Paul Blart Mall Cop and I would feel like the world was a place of color and vitality once again.
If I ever get a chance to see Kevin James, I'll hold him close quickly but I'll be holding him for both her and me.
I was in 6th grade and the love of my life just had her best friend call and break up with me. I was so sad.
Anthony Edwards plays a college kid I think who is seduced by an East German spy but he and the American way win in the end.
I sat and watched this movie on a dreary rainy afternoon just feeling sad, watching Edwards' character go through all the things I was going through. About the same time he won the girl back, my ex's best friend called me back and told me she changed her mind and wanted me back.
tl;Dr
Me and the main character in Gotcha! were simpatico.
Stranger than Fiction. It made me feel better to know there was a sensitive movie in the world that cared about the bigger things without making a big deal out of it.
I always wondered why my mom wanted to have me as a child, and she always replied "safety never takes a holiday".

2001: A Space Odyssey. Nothing has inspired and moved me more than that movie. It gave me inspiration when I had none and opened my eyes to so many of my interests. If I'm down all I have to do is watch the first space scene with the slow dancing ships and I am immediately filled with joy.

Swingers (1996) Helped me to finally get over a 13 year old relationship that I was heavily invested in with my ex-girlfriend, it also helped me to stop going out partying with a bunch of fake friends and getting wasted every night (telling myself that I was making up for all them lost years). The film got me to refocus my life by ditching the fake friends except two of my besties and to invest all my energy on my full time job. After 5 years living my life this way I managed to become one of the superiors at my job but most importantly became a husband and a father. Both my wife and daughter knows that "swingers" is my favorite movie but they may not realize how important it was for me.
Saw the film a week after the girl I was in love with abruptly dumped me after two years of an amazing relationship. At the time I was a huge piece of shit, out of shape, and unmotivated. The film really showed me the importance of having a goal and putting all of your focus into what you're passionate about. I am currently on the straightest path I've ever been on in my life.
Office space, actually. A few months ago I was in a little bit of a depression, and I had the same attitude as the main guy: I don't want to do anything. I had no job, just dropped out of school, things were going downhill... And that movie, combined with a big help from my parents, helped me to get out and get a job and such. I'm much better now
Shortly after things went sour with a girl I thought I was madly in love with, I saw 500 Days of Summer. That movie taught me that no matter how crazy you think you are about someone, that it's truly, honestly, not always meant to be, and the reason for that is because someone better WILL come along.
My Autumn came along and I wouldn't trade her for anyone.

I was wrecked by one movie, and given hope via another. When I was a teen, I saw Deer Hunter and learned the awful truth about mankind - that man was not kind, by nature. We're all born good? Bovine-Scat!! We're darkness with a side of good - the image of the Creator stamped all over our sorry asses, whether we admit it to ourselves or not. Which brings me to film 2:
The Ninth Configuration. This movie reaffirmed my HOPE for man - that it can only come from (and through an example from) without. See it for yourself and put the pieces together, if you haven't. Stacey Keach is awesome, as is every actor in this piece. It's disturbing as all get out, but somehow, light pours through and brings you back to faith ... William Peter Blattey (The Exorcist's Director) wrote this and directed it. If you have an intellect and a soul, it'll dent them both nicely.
T.W.T.D.

500 Days of Summer. Had a really bad break up with my ex and all my friends were too busy or too far to talk/hang out with me. I was really miserable for a few days and decided to watch the movie. I don't know why, the music and story just gave me hope/confidence at the end.
500 days of summer actually helped me post divorce. I hated summer so much but then I got past my own angry feelings stage and realized that she wasn't wrong and some relationships just never become more than they are. I feel like I grew a lot through that

Hacker's has been my go to. It reminds me why I got into software development. Whenever my work piles up and I'm feeling burnt out I put it on. Even on my phone with just audio while I work.
Martin Lawrence movies. There are so many. But not his popular ones. When I was depressed back in college I would watch stuff like Black Knight, National Security, Blue Streak, etc
Everything was going swell until i decided to go to the bathroom. I was at my friends house so I went and used her bathroom, but when I turned on the light switch the bulb blew out, and the only light in the bathroom was from the fluttering fluorescent lights above the mirror. I twas all downhill from here. I started freaking out, I went out the wrong door (it was a jack and jill type bathroom), and went into her roommates room. Her roommate wasn't there but her dog was, and somehow I took this as a sign that I had died in the bathroom and I was in a weird Beetlejuice-esque Purgatory and that this Australian Cattle Dog was my guide in the Afterlife. I seriously believed that if I stepped outside of the house I would be eaten by those giant sand worms. So I started talking to the dog and was starting to accept, and even enjoy my new state of being. Then my friends roommate came home , so I hustled through the Jack and Jill bathroom and back into the Living room. My friend, her boyfriend, and my friends roommate were all just talking, and I snuck back in and sat in a chair in the corner. I thought I was a ghost. Then my friend asked me a question. I started freaking out, maybe i wasn't dead after all, and this thought scared me even more than the thought of me being dead for some reason. My friend tried to calm me down, and she asked if I wanted to go outside to get some air, but I still feared the Sand Worms, so I refused. Finally she decided we should watch a movie to get my mind off of being dead, so she asked me what movie I would want to watch. I thought about all of my favorite movies and which ones always made me feel the most joy. So I settled on Clueless. It saved me from death.
EDIT: and apparently Paul Blart: Mall Cop as well, specifically the scene where he jokes about having a mother slice of pie.
I'm really late for this but I do have an answer to the question.
The Secret Life of Walter Mitty is a movie I watched during a time in my life when I was in a massive rut with absolutely no motivation and I was completely unhappy with my life.
After watching that film I felt inspired to make something of myself and to actually get out of bed in the morning and do something. Whenever I feel myself slipping into such a rut again, I rewatch that movie and it fills me with the same feeling.
It's not the best movie, objectively. But it has more meaning to me than any other film probably.
edit: just looked down the replies and saw what this thread became. I'm so sorry OP.

"To Wong Foo, Thanks for Everything! Julie Newmar" Was the only thing that made me feel better after my dad announced that he had a mistress for the last 5+ years and my parents were getting a divorce.
The Dark Knight Rises helped me out of a spot of depression two years back.
Although the tone of the movie is dark and gritty, somehow the uplifting climax with Batman whooping Bane's ass after recovering from a huge slump really lifted me from the gloom.

Everything must go featuring will ferrel. It was after a break up obviously. Great movie. Really helped me with moving on.
I happened to turn on this documentary called Microcosmos around 3:00 a.m., when I was about 5 hours into a term paper I was writing for a grad seminar course. No dialogue, just music and lots of close-up shots of insects and plant life in France. Took me about 40 minutes to even notice the lack of narration. Immensely satisfying documentary, and something about the whole mood of it just recharged my batteries and helped me relax. Would definitely recommend it to others, stressed or not.
When I was 12-13, various life events happened that pretty much made me question trusting certain people I loved dearly. The general sort of drama that happens when you realize your parents are human, just like the rest of the world. Amelie helped me when I was at my lowest.
If I ever felt just miserable, which seemed quite often at that age, I'd put Amelie in the vcr and just sit in the dark and let the beauty of the film wash over me. The characters, the dialogue, the pacing, the cinematography, and the incredibly sweet music just seemed to come together for the short period it was on the screen, reminding me how wonderful life is. Watching Amelie still makes me feel that way. Because it's a movie about joy, and bringing joy to those around you.

The kings of summer helped me out when I was 15 and going through a depression. Just something about the beautiful score and the story of just running away from home really cheered me

Time, keeping busy, trying not to dwell on it and build things up to be more than they actually were. Not much you can do besides that, emotions fade rather than just turn off. Keep busy and show yourself you can have a rad time by yourself.

As a complete nihilist, the movie Birdman seriously changed my life, it put all my thoughts into a context and made me truly smile for the first time in a while
When my ex-soon-to-be-wife left me I watched the extraordinarily empowering film of a certain "Paul Blart Mall Cop" and it tore me right out of my depressed state!

I think I began to appreciate life more when watching this small independent film, where Steve Carr really evolves from a director into a refined auteur and shows his true skill in turning a film into true art instead of commercial cinema he paints a scene of what it is to really be a mall cop. He displays simplicity on the surface but that is soon shown to be what is so complex when a simple man get's contested and his morals are crossed and you see in front of you a man who has been dammaged by the betrail of his skateboarding protege in paul ฮตฮผฯฮฟฯฮนฮบฯ ฮบฮญฮฝฯฯฮฟ blart ฮผฯฮฌฯฯฮฟฯ.
After my girlfriend of 3 years cheated on me and I found out and dumped her i was near suicidal. Until I found an old dvd in my dvd book holder. The movie in question was Pault Blart Mall Cop it took my mind off things and just showed me that life really should be lived to its full potential.
First RE. Best movie to the scariest video game I ever played. Probably due to my young age when I discovered it. Not so scary now.

Annapolis was pretty inspiring for me. I kinda interpreted it along the lines of: we are not really limited by our intelligence, but our ambition and drive.
It sounds a bit cliche, but just keep on doing something until you get what you want. Even if you fail constantly, just give yourself another opportunity to prevail.
I'ts not really a deep movie, just pleasantly reassuring way of looking at things.

Not a movie but I found How I Met Your Mother while I was going through a really bad breakup where I was pretty much cutting myself and just super depressed. I pretty much binged watched it until i had caught up to season 9 which took me a while since i really wanted to enjoy the show. Once I reached season 9 I couldn't finish it. It had helped me get through such a tough time in my life that I didn't want it to be over. I saw season 9 but never watched the last 2 episodes. About 2 months ago I finally saw the series finale and I plan on watching the series all over again. HIMYM will always hold a special place in my heart for helping me.
Possibly the movie "Her".
All the bad things in life just seemed to vanish.
Under my depression I found happiness.
Life is just a big misunderstanding.
Believe it or not a single movie saved me.
Love is easy to obtain, but hard to save.
Another movie I loved was "about Schmidt".
Regardless, I fell back into a funk.
To me it seems beautiful that life is so simple.
My family noticed my depression, gave me some movies.
After it was all said and done I learned allot.
Life is crazy.
Love is bizarre.
Come to terms with your existence.
Offer love to those who need it.
Peace is easy, and kindness is special.

I was hit with some severe anxiety for a long period of my life so bad to point that I needed to keep my mind busy otherwise I would start to have a panic attack.
I didn't have cable in my room, so I borrowed a DvD and watched it over and over at night until I feel asleep (I did this for almost a year). The movie was The Patriot. During the day I played a lot of 007 and Mario Cart on N64 to get me through.
Ironic part is that the movie Fight Club got me thinking so much that it triggered a panic attack, which turned into years of severe anxiety. It wasn't until later that I realized I always had anxiety issues, but this was my tipping point.

Not a movie, but a tv sit com. I know everybody loves Raymond is not liked by reddit, but it sure helped my family and I. My husband had cancer, and was in the hospital for 3 weeks while they tried to stabilize him. Hospital tv sucks. And at the time my kids were from age 25-13. ELR was something that the whole family could watch and get some smiles, if not laughs. We watched it every night, even when we got home. He got on hospice care, and was at home as he got sicker almost every day. He got to where he couldn't speak, but I still turned it to the show every day (by then it was in syndication). It was on when he started gasping for air. Then I turned off the tv and held his hand and told him I loved him til he was gone. For years later I was obsessed by that show. It reminded me of him and our kids and his mom and the life we all shared. Down vote me for 1) Everybody Loves Raymond, 2) cancer story 3) karma ho. It's all true, though. And the fact that I read that Sawyer Sweeten committed suicide was heart-wrenching to me. I don't know how , at 19, you feel all is lost. My heart goes out to the Sweeten family. They gave us smiles and stability when we needed it.

I hate the fact that even though you guys are making fun of it, Paul Blart is now slowly being cemented within pop culture because you all keep on mentioning it. I honestly just want it to fade away into nothing. It doesn't even deserve to even be referenced in an ironic way. It just needs to be forgotten.
I had just gone through finding out I may have a chronic illness, nearly had a car accident that would have killed me and was finally starting to kick a nasty addiction (Fucking Adderall is no joke). I didn't know what was up, what was down. I was caught in a whirlwind of life. I left. I moved to a place where I had no friends and knew no one. Severely depressed, questioning everything I knew about life. Everything I had been told up to that point didn't matter. You know, how they tell you you should live life. Go to school, get a job and what not. I'm sick. Fuck, I nearly died when my brake line blew out on the freeway... What the fuck did any of that stupid way of living matter if it can all be taken away from you in an instant? If your entire future plans are gone after a doctors appointment? Go to the office and work for retirement? Ha! Fuck that. You might not even make it that far.
It was a deep, dark, existentially depressed time. It lasted months. I was a broken human being. Had to be built back up from scratch. The movie, and the book, that brought me back was "Into The Wild"
It showed me there were other ways to live. With this inspiration, I saved up some money and hit the road. For five years. Lived in four different countries, had an amazing assortment of jobs and experiences. Met thousands of people from all over the world and now am saving up for my biggest adventure yet.
This movie and book saved me. There was a part in the story that took place mere miles, just down the road actually from where I was holed up. Really connected with me. Stopped me from ending it. It made me "Keep Going". Inspired me to live the way I do.
Even though I may or may not, this is not known yet, have the time other people have on this earth, due to medical issues, I will use the time I do have to live, and dream, explore and discover.

I haven't seen this movie. Paul Blart. Is he some kind of hero? Is he a villain? I find my self in need of a hero and a villain. Is he the dark knight of mall policing?
Is it as good as Hackers?
"Lost in translation". Still one of my favorite movie of all time. It has been 15 years since I moved to Hong kong from the states. I was really lonely and homesick at first and this movie helped me through the rough time.
The Grand Budapest Hotel actually helped me get through exams last year. It was like no other film I'd seen all year and was so strange and bizarre that I enjoyed it to no end. It was a fresh experience, almost like watching Paul Blart Mall Cop all over again

I feel like the internet is really coming together in unity right now. Like the ending of Paul Blart: Mall Cop.
Sweeny Todd. It wasn't the gore or revenge or anything, really. That scene in the rain where he's so lost and angry and despairing all at once matched what I was feeling perfectly, and seeing it on the screen made it a little less intense on my head.
After my girlfriend died in 911 with my daughter included, I had no hope of living so I watched The Boy in the Striped Pajamas. But after watching it and not feeling to well, I went to the doctor and while I was waiting for my appointment. All the sadness disappeared because they were playing Mall Cop in the waiting room.
Silver Linings Playbook- I was facing my own inner demons at the time when I read the book. I loved the adaptation even more, as I saw it at the tail end of my rough patch.
jay and silent bob strike back. me and a really close high school buddy used to smoke up and watch that movie almost daily. our family moved far far way and i start that movie whenever i miss him and wanna reminisce
Every time I got broken up with I always watched 'Swingers' It's a good movie about moving on after a relationship.

I was having a rough time this weekend, and my kids were being whinny, and they wanted so see a sequel to a movie that helps get people through tough times, boy were we surprised when we made it to the theater.
When I found out that my anus was leaking a frothy mix of blood and stool, I was then told by a beloved visiting trollfairy that came to my window that only one thing would plug up my anus and deliver me to the next life in a spirit of happylaffs. I knew right away what could give me the greatest abundance of God's merciful happylaffs before my insides would explode and I would be kill status. I stumbled upon Maul Cart: Pall Blop, and I suffered none more. Praise be to Kevin Christ our one true god in this realest of realities
It was early 2009, my girlfriend had just broken up with me and I was a mess since it was our first relationship. I thought we were going to get married and have 2 and a half kids with a white picket fence around our house.
I was a blubbering mess, but a friend of mine set me up with his friend to go watch a movie. I wasn't sure if I was ready yet, since it had only been maybe two weeks since I had broken up with the love of my life, but I decided why not.
I met her at the theater later that day and we really hit it off. Soon we got situated in our seats, and waited for the movie to start.
After it, we couldn't believe our eyes. We went together to see it again maybe five or six times. Afterwards, I kept going out with her and soon, I had forgotten all about my ex.
MacGruber. The best stupid movie ever. I can't help but laugh at it no matter what kind of mood I am in. Sometimes something stupid just works. And Paul Blart's sweaty balls.

I once was seriously depressed. Lost all my money in the Doge Market. I wanted to watch something to cheer me up so I watched Don't Mess With The Zohan. This almost pushed me to the edge. I reached for the bottle of pills. Underneath sat a sealed bluray. I lifted it and noticed a robust moustached fellow looking up at me. I decided I could live another 90 minutes. Little did I know, those 90 minutes would save my life.
After non stop laughter and pure wonderment over the original quick witted screen writing, Kevin James's brilliant physical comedy and phenomenal directing. My life turned around. Since watching Paul Blart Mall Cop I've made many good life choices. I am married to a Playboy model and make over 500k a year. Thank you Kevin James. Thank you Paul Blart. You saved me.

Mud (2012). Mathew McConaughy's played his tragic character really well, and I identified with in some ways, it guided me through a period of introspection, when I figured out what the hell is wrong with me. Annie Hall is a movie I checked out later that I think rests on the same themes that I saw in Mud. And goes a few steps further on the same idea of damaged men.
I was having a really rough semester and the only thing that kept me going was that everyday I got to go home and watch the Departed!... oh wait no, fuck what was the name of that movie? Oh right, it was Paul Blart Mall Cop!
Mysterious Skin was such a cathartic experience for me to watch after a really brutal series of realizations about my life. I cried through the whole movie. That will always be my favorite film.

My name is Barry Allen, and I am the fastest Paul Blart fan alive.
When I was a child I saw my mother killed by something impossible, my father went to prison for her murder, then an accident made me the impossible.
To the outside world I'm an ordinary forensic scientist, but secretly I use my speed to watch Paul Blart: Mall Cop and find others like me, and one day, I'll find who killed my mother and get justice for my father. I am The Flash!
Waking life. Depressed as hell until the movie made me take a step back and look at life as something special, but ultimately something that the universe really doesn't care about.
I know it's pretty cliche, and it's widely recognized as one of the greatest movies out there. But nothing beats that part where Luke Lightyear says "You're a cantaloupe, Frodo". Well, nothing except the delightfully uplifting humour of Paul Blart Mall Cop. This movie will make you shit hundred dollar bills, cure your embarrassingly bad herpes, and your dick will grow 3 feet longer (doctors hate this trick).
The Notebook. I'm a guy, and I've only ever watched it twice, but they were both at points in my life in which I really had my heart broken. For some reason it helps me to realize that I deserve better.
I was 16 am in the hospital for a few weeks struggling with depression. I could never smile. For some reason Paul Blart Mall Cop lifted me up. It made me laugh and smile. It sounds silly, but that moment is important to me. Thank you. Paul Blart Mall Cop.

Was going to say Paul Blart: Mall Cop but then I realized the sequel is about to come out and that would make me a liar
500 days of summer helped me through a break up and taught me how to look at the past relationship in an over head view. Not just the bad, but the good and everything I felt because of both. Great little gem of a film.
Well, it's technically a movie now but I've never seen it- only read it; It's Kind of a Funny Story. I finished reading the book right before ending up in a psychiatric hospital for wanting to kill myself. The book really helped prepare me for the real thing, apparently. Funny thing is- in the book the kid mentions "Swee Touch-Nee tea" and the hospital I stayed in just so happened to have the same exact tea. When I saw it I was all "IT'S REAL!"
This whole thread should be in r/bestof. Fucking hysterical.

The matrix, butterfly effect, and the inception. 3 of my favorite movies because people don't understand the detail within them. There are so many subconscious emotions that they've invoked within me that have kept me even-keeled throughout some extremely stressful times in my life.
I'm embarrassed to say Titanic. I was in my early 30s, and having a real tough time socially/romantically. For some reason, DiCaprio's character had such balls, such independence. I went to see it about 5 times in the theater alone, just to sort of get his supremely confident, 'all-I-need-is-the-air-in-my-lungs' attitude really engrained in my head. It really worked, and got me out of a tough time and gave me some real backbone when I was feeling really weak and vulnerable.
This thread was what I needed after the Skyrim bullshit this weekend. You hear me, Gabe? You made Paul Blart: Mall Cop into the highlight of my fucking weekend!
But to be fair, I'd have to go with Edward Scissorhands, which I recently watched with my little-sister. Even though I don't think it's the best movie ever made, I still find it to be very cathartic when I'm in a melancholy mood :) .
Wait, what am I saying? Sorry, I meant to say Mall Cop. I'll always be thankful for how it cured both my parkinson, psoriasis and sociopathy, and helped me out of my krokoheroin addiction.
Edit: I accidentally swapped a letetr

On Nov. 29, 2011, I was crushed in an accident. I died at the scene and during surgery. Today I am recovering from the accident. I had my small intestine removed, part of my colon and bowel, and my pelvis was broken and shattered along with intensive nerve damage to my right leg. They didn't expect me to live as I was induced to a coma for five days. When I came to, I had a breathing tube and a feeding tube. My pelvis wasn't surgically repaired, as they were waiting until the internal organs were healed enough. Paul Blart Mall Cop was watching over me during this time as Paul Blart Mall Cop watches over us every day. It has been a hard road towards recovery and healing, but Paul Blart Mall Cop is the great physician. Paul Blart Mall Cop has a plan for me, and this is why I didn't die on that Tuesday, November 29, 2011. Paul Blart Mall Cop is good. Often times we take life for granted and question, "Paul Blart Mall Cop, why me?" Pray, mediate on his movie, thank him for the good things that have happened in our lives, study, watch, and fellowship with other believers.
What's that movie with the dude from King of Queens. He's, like, a cop or something in a mall. I remember there was this scene where he was, like, sliding to get behind something...but didn't quite make it.
Man, it made my day. I just wish I could remember the name...
When I was very depressed in high school, almost to the point of suicide, I thought rationally: I'm depressed, I have very little about myself I can call "special," the unhappiness I see in the people whose lives represent what mine will become is an inevitability.
Thinking like that is a positive feedback loop, you make yourself sadder by thinking you're sad and will never be happy. It become its own cause. The term "self fulfilling prophecy" comes to mind.
One day I decided to think logically, but instead focus on the positives, and one stood out, which I give as the standard advice to any one who is in a similar position.
Depression is a series of chemical reactions in your brain to make you think illogically. If you're depressed, and you're in a time of chemical turmoil (puberty), there's a good chance it will pass on its own. It doesn't seem like it ever will, but the hope and optimism you can muster up will make a big difference.
This kind of thinking helped pull me out of depression.
Also, in a more direct answer to your question, I always found this from 4chan to be oddly motivating to not off myself, once again based on some pretty basic logic.
It moved the idea of suicide to the idea of doing what I really want to do (which being 15 and suicidal, I had no idea), which I never got around to. Maybe someday I will. In the end, this made suicide a bad choice no matter how you cut it (which should be obvious).
I am obsessed with my work. I'd rather be working than doing anything else. And I enjoy every second of it. It makes me truly happy. However, I am usually on the receiving end of comments such as "you're going to burn out", "some moderation is good", "you're missing out on life", etc from well meaning friends and family. A few months ago, I noticed these comments were starting to take their toll, and I found myself questioning my work habits and hours. I couldn't have watched "Jiro Dreams of Sushi" at a better time. While my husband and friends saw him as a man who led a miserable life, I saw him as a person who was living his dream. The man is an inspiration, a living legend. Any doubts I had about my work were gone instantaneously. Now I begin everyday by telling myself "Let's make some Sushi".
Anything Tyler Perry is cinema gold. Hell, even his small role in Gone Girl made me feel like holding a bake sale at my local church and praise Jesus every Sabbath that followed. Also, I think I've gotten taller since then. Coincidence? Tyler Perry works in mysterious ways..

Perks of Being a wallflower... it sort of cemented in my mind that I wasn't just an asshole, I was a depressed asshole and no matter how many friends I made, I wasn't going to get better unless I got my ass to a therapist and a psychiatrist. Idk, it didn't work right away but it was still very cathartic

Honestly I believe that Theatre-going and maybe movies in general are coming to a close. To follow Paul Blart Mall Cop with any movie would just be a disaster to the entire industry. It's like following Jerry Seinfeld at the Laugh Factory with your Uncle Fred. Nothing will ever be the same again. All your senses will be dulled, your mind will be bored, you will never again be able to sit down and enjoy another DVD without Kevin James in the back of your mind, always whispering to your subconscious that you're watching an inferior movie.
My grandfather came over just the other day, he and I sat down on the sofa and watched Paul Blart Mall Cop. The weird thing was... my grandfather has been dead for 10 years. He literally crawled out of his grave to watch this movie. Apparently death can't hold back someone from watching this movie.

Gattaca always made me feel not so shitty about being suicidal.
I was suicidal up until a couple years ago, and even though it's passed (for now?) I still sincerely feel there isn't any shame in doing it. I think the stigma other people attach to it is absurd. I don't think it's always selfish, and even if it is... Wanting someone who wants to die to live is pretty fucking selfish too.
Late to answer but father of the bride part two is a movie my mom and I use to watch together after my dad died when we couldn't sleep or I was sick. So since I was seven I watch it when I have a bad day and it really helps.

I went to see Inception in theaters, it really helped me cope with the death of my wife, who had passed a few months before from Lou Gehrig's disease. The way that the characters interacted, the search for meaning in a place that was meaningless, the yearning for a unique life experience. Turns out half way through the movie I went into the wrong theater, instead of Inception I was watching Paul Blart Mall Cop.

Personally, this poem has always helped through rough times.
A boat, beneath a sunny sky
Upon an evening in July
Lingering onward dreamily --
Babies three that nestle near,
Looking eye and willing ear,
A pleasing simple tale to hear --
Retired long ago, that sunny sky:
Time fades and memories die:
Mighty frosts have slain July.
Always haunts me, phantomwise,
Lucy moving under skies
Long since seen by waking eyes.
Children yet, the tale to hear,
Open eye and willing ear,
Pleasantly shall nestle near.

In Uni, when I was a younger, more romantically-inclined individual, I had my heart broken by a beautiful woman, all but literally torn out of my chest. I comforted myself with HBO's Rome for a weekend.
I only wish that I had Paul Blart: Mall Cop to help me get through that dark period of my life.

Very vague question. Because it depends on the year. But I'll bite...
After deciding to leave my abusive ex husband? Saved!. That Jesus movie with the guy from Home Alone. Fucking laughed my ass off. It was also after a major surgery. And I was pretty high on Percocet. But yes, Saved is up right there.
Same time, but moving forward, Waiting. T-Dog makes me laugh. "I'll cut you." "Push the fish, it's about to turn." Love that movie.
A year later, it was Little Miss Sunshine. I could watch Olive's dance at the end over and over. Poor girl.
I also watched Napoleon Dynamite often during this time. 'Break the wrist and walk away' is something that my kids and I say all of the time. Along with me screaming "someone needs to feed Tina." In reference to feeding the cat. They are 10 and 12. They had no clue what I was talking about but knew that when mom said "Tina needs food." That they need to feed the cat. So I have that going for me.
I was fortunate enough to watch a prescreening of Paul Blart Mall Cop 2. Typically, sequels are no where near as good as their predecessor. BUT... my god. This movie is genius. I had just missed the grade a needed to stay in college. I had been kicked out. I had cried all week; PBMC2 pulled me out of my rut. Now, I'm currently starting my own tech company:)
For me, it's all about the disjunctive perturbation of the gesture, en soi, of the gravity-challenged mall cop and how it spatially undermines the exploration of montage elements.

Some movies have so great an impact on the human spirit they don't even need to be watched. Transcending our visual needs they travel straight to the soul and guide us through the dark moments in life. Thank you Paul Blart Mall Cop, thank you.
I saw the film "Sleepwalk With Me" with my abusive girlfriend of four years. I hated the film, particularly the weak willed protagonist who I thought was too big of a pansy to be likable for not getting out of the relationship he clearly hated.
I spoke to my best friend who recommended it to me about it the next day; he was startled I had such a visceral reaction. It was at that moment I realized I was projecting my own feelings about my terrible relationship onto the poor little indie film. I broke up with her two weeks later.
I'm now happily engaged to a different, wonderful woman and that friend who recommended the film is now my best man. If only Ira Glass and Mike Birbiglia would come to my wedding next year...
Might seem like a cop-out answer to some but I've grown to feel that even if I lost everything, it wouldn't matter because I'd still have it. I'd still have myself.
Every time I see a film where the protagonist is struggling with reality, with their own mind or just the bullshit they're surrounded with, I feel lucky to have this gift.
It's my ace in the hole. And that hole is life's dark anus.
I genuinely laughed all the way through, I was expecting to find recommendations for a good movie to cheer me up and I ended up laughing until I cried. This was awesome to read and now I guess i have to watch Kevin James' beautiful masterpiece now.
Person thinking of posting: this is why you put the [Serious] tag on your /r/askreddit post if you ask a serious question. I mean, the answer is still Paul Blart Mall Cop, but just saying.
Forgetting Sarah Marshall and Swingers. I had a bad break up and didn't know what to do with myself or what I should even think of my ex. Those movies really both helped me to move on.

Any Star Trek movie or show.
It restores my faith in humanity by watching future humans not be total asshats to one another.
Attempting to answer this thread seriously. For me it was Artificial Intelligence by Spielberg/Kubrick. I always watch this film alone & coincidentally it's also the film which I cried the most & it always helps to release all that emotion of isolation, rejection & self pity through this film, then be my normal functioning confident self when I'm with people.
I usualy don't like watching foreign movies, but the italian movie Life is beautiful made me realize that life is ment to be cherised and I have no right to complain about my life.
How To Train Your Dragon has made me happier for a week. On the contrary, Whiplash has made a me very depressed for months while I'm employed. I don't even know why.

Mall Blart was there for me when nobody else was. Who made me laugh when I was going through a break up? Mall Blart. Who got me through my exams? Mall Blart. Who made me believe that happiness truly exists in this life? Mall Blart. I wouldn't be the man I am today if not for him. Just remember, when in doubt, Mall Blart.

As a classical pianist facing all the challenges of a music performance degree, "The Prestige" helped me keep my commitement to music in perspective. The way that movie contrasts the extremes of artistic ambition and obsession really helped me keep my head on straight when it came down to working extremely hard but not losing my mind with stress or a sense of inadequacy.
I'd probably have to go with 500 Days of Summer. If you guys haven't seen it, it's an awesome Romance/Comedy movie. It made me laugh so many times and it never gets old. Zooey Deschanel and Joseph Gordon Levitt are just awesome.

Not a movie, but Louis CK stand up has got me through some really tough times.

Fuck Paul Blart. "The Royal Tenenbaums" gives me comfort. The atmosphere Wes Anderson creates and those deeply flawed characters make me feel like I'm not alone in my pain.

I hate that I'm going to have to go watch this stupid movie, even though I already know its going to be terrible, because Reddit. and OCD. mostly OCD. But also- Mall Cop.
Serious answer: Spirited Away. It's my favorite movie growing up. I still rewatch it from time to time. The main character inspires me to stay strong and remember who I am. It's the only way to get through tough times of your life. This message (along with other ones) is well communicated through the plot and direction.
There's no personal stories to tell. It's just a movie that I very much appreciate and recommend.
Definitely (500) Days of Summer. I watched that movie probably 4 times after my girlfriend broke up with me in high school. It really helped me to know that things actually do get better.

The Secret Life of Walter Mitty. Had just found out that my girlfriend at the time was cheating on me and having attention seeking problems. I hadn't broken up with her yet as we were in an LDR and I wanted to do it in person. Watched that movie and cried at the quote "beautiful things don't ask for attention." That's when I realized that this physically gorgeous girl wasn't beautiful at all.

One time after 9/11 happened and I watched my uncle murder my grandpa in the holocaust, hurricane Katrina hit my house and killed my entire family, even my sister and my dad and my mom and my two brothers.
All my dvds were scattered everywhere, but I found one golden gem among them all, Paul Blart Mall Cop. Popped that baby into my tape player and instantly my cold was gone. Thank you Kevin.
After my ex husband left me, Monty Python and the Holy Grail was pretty much the only thing I could watch without being reminded of him or the woman he was having the affair with.
This was, of course, before Paul Blart Mall Cop came out.

Pink Floyd's The Wall.
When I first experienced real depression in high school, things that were happy made me angry. The Wall just made sense to me. It made me feel like someone else understood me. I watched that movie every single day for over a year. I couldn't sleep without it.
Now, I can't even listen to the music. I just put so many strong emotions into it, that hearing it brings it all back. In a way it was really therapeutic to be able to put all of my dark feelings into something like that and be able to just leave them all behind.
I wouldn't say it helped me through a rough time, but The Diving Bell and the Butterfly hit me like a ton of bricks when I saw it. I feel like it has a really valuable and powerful message about seizing the day.
I went through a period where I had a cold and diarrhea. Every time I sneezed I shitted myself. I didn't think I could go on living but then I watched Paul Blart Mall Cop.
That film changed my entire perspective on life. I now own a Segway and am working my way up the corporate ladder of mall copping.

A few years back I was working at a shitty job at a mall in Massachusetts. I was pretty down, cause, you know,I was working a shitty mall job. It was summer I think, and for some weird reason the mall started putting up all the christmas decorations. It really cheered me up and helped get me in a happier spirit. Thanks Paul Blart Mall Cop, for filming in the shitty mall I worked in.

Pretty much any Miyazaki film but specifically Howl's Moving Castle. There's just something incredibly comforting about that movie. Sophie is so comfortable being old that idk how to describe it. I have anxiety about aging and death and it makes it melt away into a beautiful thing. If I knew something was going to happen this would be the last movie i would watch.
When I saw that the top reply was Paul Blart Mall Cop, I was so damn confused. Then I read literally every other fucking reply, and now I'm more confused. I'm gonna go watch PBMC to clear my head
If I really want to get somewhere and free myself from my demons I need to make a hole and climb through a tunnel of shit so I can finally see the light.
american tail. if that little guy can be separated from his family and over come such odds that he can later become the sheriff of his own western town and fight cat nazis/cat slave owners, i can ask my boss for a raise.
When I was a kid I had a really abusive step mother. It escalated to point where I was kept in a room with an alarm on the door so she would know if I tried to get out. My father always chose winners for partners and was a weak man and just let it happen. Twice a year my stepmother would go on vacation to Hawaii and leave me and my dad. He would bring me a portable DVD player and some movies to watch while she was gone for the week. The one he usually brought was a Alice in wonderland remake with whoopi Goldberg as the Cheshire Cat and I loved it. I think back on it with fond memories and am glad it fueled my imagination to get me through those years.
I really hate being late to these threads.
No on will probably see this, but shortly after I lost my wife to cystic fibrosis I went through a pretty dark phase where I didn't leave my apartment. I just stayed inside and watched every possible movie I could get my hands on... mostly to try and distract myself from the pain.
Then I watched The Fountain.
At the end of the movie 'Tommy finally understands what Izzie was telling him, and he is able to accept her death and move on with his life, with less regret, and more understanding of his place in the universe.'
I left my apartment the next day.

Forgetting Sarah Marshall, I watched it all day everyday after my ex fiance left me, weeks before the wedding. I wouldn't eat, I took time off from work, and I'd feel like shit; but whenever I popped that movie in it made me feel alright, until it ended. Then I'd restart it and watch it again, shit it was the only way I could even go to bed. Weeks went by and I got out of my funk and life moved on for the better :)
A couple years ago we had to put my dog down because he was bit by a rabid wolf and was infected with rabies. It was a really sad time. I didn't want to eat, I didn't want me to go to school, I wouldn't do anything.
Then my parents talked a psychiatrist friend of theirs. She suggested I watch a movie that I could relate to the main character because we basically had just gone through the same thing. Seeing the protagonist overcome my same struggles really help me reconcile the loss of my dog.
It still brings tears to my eyes when I think about how Paul Blart: Mall Cop helped me heal.
Also the live action version of the book, Treasure Island (2012). Treasure Island was a trippy experience... crazy camera angles out the whazoo and a surreal but lucid feel to it, with plenty of emotion. Same reason I thought Dragon Hunters was a good movie to watch when feeling down; very strange but good to watch.
Clichรฉ by now: as a kid, I loved watching Spirit: Stallion of the Cimarron. Not for a rebellious feel, but because it shows this horse overcoming obstacles, hitting his own depression, and pulling through.

Little late to the party but Mulan
My mom wasn't around so my very narcissistic sister was the one raising me mostly. I was a tomboy and she started trying to strip me of that toughness and tell me how girls are supposed to be. Then Mulan came out and I saw the fierce warrior who saved her country and family without being "beautiful". I still get teary eyed on the Reflection scene. So not really a rough patch more my whole childhood
I'll give you a not PBMC answer. Last time i got dumped i watched 500 days of summer probably 12 times if not more. It helped me see the main character get over his girl and find meaning in his life.

I'd probably have to stick with Up or Wall-E...
Good movies like that helped me immerse to the point that I managed to forget fuck-ups of mine and the world for a couple hours a pop, and they make me feel better afterwards...
Hope it helps, take care op. :)
I never told a lot of people about this but since it's the internet asking, so hey why not...
i used to grow up as a problem child, as the youngest in the family, I always have trouble getting along with my siblings and my friends at school.
One thing led to another, I was having a really sad life until one day when I was still a teenager, around 4 or 5 years ago, the younger me saw a new movie was coming out in the cinema. I watched it by myself because I was pretty much alone all the time anyway. Little did I knew that it will be the last time I have no one else to go to the movies with.
After the movie, I felt tremendously refreshed, as if I had went through a full transformation, the movie struck a chord with me, my life, my family, my friends, everything, it changed everything about me. I turned over a new leaf because that movie gave me hope for a new life.
I left my old past and became a whole new person after the movie. I could experience love, joy, and happiness over again. I felt fantastic!
I believe that many of you wouldn't relate to this movie as I did, as it is a life changing experience for me after all. But Paul Blart Mall Cop is the one I have been through thick and thins with, all my life's ups and downs can easily be resolved with this single title. Kevin James, I now dream and inspired to be like you, to touch others' life even if it is just one of the 7 billion others.
As my username implies, I enjoy math. I love the idea of number theory, prime numbers, etc. I have dedicated my life to math, and plan to continue to do so. However, in the past 16 months, I've developed crippling depression due to BPD and GAD as well as a lot of social issues. So, a year ago, I watched a movie strikingly similar to what I was dealing with.
Good Will Hunting.
I loved that movie so fucking much, I loved the math involved, I love the emotions that run wild, and most of all, I loved Robin Williams.
That man's acting was superb. Dead Poets Society made me cry, that one about the musician also made me cry, I love his acting so much, from the comedic to the much more serious roles.
And every one of his movies, stemming from Good Wiil Hunting has done wonders for me. Rest in Peace, Robin. You were an inspiration to all of us, and I do what I can to try living with my own problems, as you had to with your own.
O Brother Where Art Thou. My grandpa was one of the funniest people I've ever known. Only a couple months before he passed away from lung cancer in 2000, we watched O Brother Where Art Thou together and laughed so fucking much. It always reminds me of him.
In 5th grade, 92 or so, my first dog died. The morning I found out Shadow was no more, there was no way I could go to school. A blood relative could have passed and I would have dealt with it better than if the only creature in the world who understood me died. I went to the grocery / video store and rented SUBURBAN COMMANDO, THE SUPER w/ Joe Pesci, DUTCH w/ Al Bundy, and BINGO - about the runaway dog. I watched those four movies repeatedly for two days straight until I began to cope with my first run-in with mortality.
I'll never forget Shadow. But I'll also never forget those random ass movies, for getting me through. Film is a wonderfully transcendent medium. I owe it more than it'll ever know.

It depends on what kind of tough time, break up, general depression, death in the family, etc. Are you looking for a good laugh or a cathartic cry?
When I was a kid my favorite movie was Titan A.E. In high school my close friend was killed in a car accident (not his fault). I was having a panic attack and I just needed to feel like a kid again so I watched it. It helped a lot for those 90 minutes and helped take the edge off.
I was in a recovery ward after donating a kidney to a child who was suffering from cancer. They were doing well and I was wheeled into their room the next visitation period, it was late afternoon and the late summer sun streamed through the window and caught the 8 year old.
She smiled.
I realized that was the most basic human emotion - going through so much and to smile. Was it the sun streaming in, the new lease of life?
She opened her mouth to say something, "Hi, umm, please could you move just a little to the side?"
I turned and realized she was watching Paul Blart: Mall Cop. In that moment I realized that Kevin James had done more for this little girl that I could ever have. My kidney might have given her a fighting chance, but Kevin James was the one who gave her a reason to live.
I watched the rest of the film, in awe, and then silently wheeled out of there, never looking back. I stood up, and at my checkup they'd said I had miraculously regrown my donated kidney. I knew what I had to do, I bought a copy of that movie, went to the hospital and asked is anyone in need of a reason to live and or a kidney.
I don't have anything to exciting or specific to contribute. I found the movie A Bittersweet Life when I was going through my insanity trip/breakdown and I watched it dozens of times. I wish I could say why it helped or why I even like the movie as much as I do, but it will forever hold a special place in my heart... And be watched right now.

Maybe a little late to the party, but when my cat died my co-workers set up a movie night at work to make me feel better. We watched Tusk, and somewhere between Johnny Depp's French Canadian detective character and Justin Long flailing about in that wonderful suit I lost sight of my sadness and laughed for the first time in a while.

I had gotten a very painful tooth extraction not long ago, putting restrictions on what I could eat. Unfortunately for me, there was good food, better food, than usual all around, and so it sickens me not being able to eat them all. Days go by and I see an opportunity to eat something new. I should also warn you on that day my blood sugar was extremely low, and I seen something on the floor
I was already happy then I saw ruual smart market spy. Its a Bollywood version of an american masterpiece. After that I got happier and ate shells and cheese.
I took my little cousin to go watch the Katy Perry movie when it came out. I was also going through a breakup from my first long term relationship. I didn't expect to get anything out of the movie, but seeing how she handled her divorce really hit home. It showed me that when shit happens you just got to keep living.

As a graphic designer, and overall artist its easy to get locked into a grey business driven state that takes what you normally would find passion and enjoyment in and turn it into something you dislike as a routine. But I had time a few months ago to watch a movie from my childhood that impacted me greatly in my choice of what i want to do with my life and also what i like to make, it also helped me restore a sense of creativity and innocence again. That movie for me is Spirited Away by Hayao Miyazaki.
This is the most ridiculous thing I've seen, but right now I'm going through a stressful time studying for finals. Indirectly, Paul Blart Mall Cop cheered me up.
Tell me about it, I've been trying to get into the mall cop academy for so long. I don't feel like I'll ever get in. I just can't grow a mustache.

There's just something about that scene in Paul Bart Mall Cop where he's riding the segway with the girl and they play Survivor's I Can't Hold Back that always gets me.
I remember after my dad passed I saw that Paul Blart movie in theaters. I can't really explain but something changed that day. The amount of family comedy in the movie was just brilliant. I was still sad but it really helped ease the pain. If I could have just 2 more hours with my father, I would have take him to see Paul Blart: Mall Cop 2 opening night. I would have gotten him all of the candy and popcorn he wanted. I know he would have loved it.
After high school i went to college for a couple of years but i was failing all my classes, really badly. So bad in fact that i was kicked out of school. I was working at the time as a bagboy for a grocery store. After almost two years of doing nothing but some night classes, let's just say i wasn't happy. At all. I was fucking miserable.
A really good friend of mine one day said that i should watch Clerks II as he found it hilarious.
As i don't like to skip to sequels i decided to watch the first one. Boy, it hit hard. This was a tale of two 20 something guys like me that dropped out of college working dead end jobs that they hated.
They were me and i was them.
I watched it multiple times that week and other Kevin Smith movies. Let's say this whole sequence helped me in a way i can never thank Kevin enough :
Dante Hicks : You know what the real tragedy about all this is? I'm not even supposed to be here today!
Randal Graves : [suddenly outraged] Oh, fuck you! Fuck you, pal! Jesus, there you go again trying to pass the buck. I'm the source of all your misery. Who closed the store to play hockey? Who closed the store to go to a wake? Who tried to win back his ex girlfriend without even discussing how he felt with his present one? You wanna blame somebody? Blame yourself. "I'm not even supposed to be here today."
[throws stuff at Dante]
Randal Graves : You sound like an asshole! Jesus, nobody twisted your arm to be here today. You're here of your own volition. You like to think the weight of the world rests on your shoulders. Like this place would fall apart if Dante wasn't here. Jesus, you overcompensate for having what's basically a monkey's job. You push fucking buttons. Anybody can waltz in here and do our jobs. You... You're so obsessed with making it seem so much more epic, so much more important than it really is. Christ, you work in a convenience store, Dante! And badly, I might add! I work in a shitty video store, badly as well.
[sighs]
Randal Graves : You know, that guy Jay's got it right, man. He has no delusions about what he does. Us... we like to make ourselves seem so much more important than the people that come in here to buy a paper, or, God forbid... cigarettes. We look down on them as if we're so advanced. Well, if we're so fucking advanced, what are we doing working here?
I cannot state how much this helped me. Within two months i changed jobs, passed from a minimum wage job to an 18$/hour job as a security guard (Yes, i'm a freaking Mall Cop sigh). I've gone back to school two years ago and in three weeks i'll have my diploma in film production. Not only did Kevin Smith inspire me to move my station in life, he inspired me to become a filmmaker myself. I will forever be grateful to him.
I don't watch many movies, but I can recommend this video game I picked up the other day. It's pretty common and I'm surprised it worked in my ps4. It's called Paul of Duty: Mallc ops.
Check it out, hope this helps, OP

Screw you guys! OP asked a serious question and you fools are playing it up. Fuck you all. I'm so gosh darn mad I feel like going to a Mall and starting up some trouble. Here's hoping some portly mustachioed Security Guard doesn't stop me! >:(
It is a fucked up movie about people cheating and using each other. Having problems of the where am I going in this relationship... Perhaps weird for a man. Anyways, realizing that I wasn't happy in the relationship and seeing no effort from her to make it better I broke up the next morning. I felt better being single. It is not an empowering movie or a romantic love story. It is a fucked up reality of damaged characters. The nobody is perfect so be happy made me more comfortable being alone but not lonely. I didn't want to waste more time going to an eventual break up.
Am I too late to suggest Paul Blart: Mall Cop? Absolute must right there.

Do we do this all the time now?
God am I fucking sick of Reddit and this stupid shit. I'm sorry OP, next time you should tag it [SERIOUS].
Anyway, Paul Blart: Mall Cop really helped me, it taught me about the strengths of trying no matter what, for work or love, and that if I have a segway, I can do anything!
Grave of Fireflies. It gets my through by reminding me I don't have life that bad. After watching this movie I cried so hard I vowed I'd never watch it again. I haven't and with any luck I never will. It is a constant reminder that my life will never be as bad as the children in this movie. I could be homeless, quadriplegic with aids and my life would still be better of then the events that occur in this movie.
It sucks when you're legitimately interested in an AskReddit question and it turns out to be a joke thread. To get through this disappointment, I'll have to watch my favorite film of all time: Paul Blart Mall Cop.

Not a movie but a TV show. I never had any intrest in breaking bad however i lost my job and with my lunch break i choose one new show to help me take my mind off not being employed or searching for a job.
I was drawn in because i could trully relate with walts frustration of not being able to legally provide for his family. He was a good guy followed the rules. Never screwed anyone. And what did he have to show for it. Massive debt working a second job and still barely scarping by. Well he made a choice to do what for me would have been the easier way out. But for him it meant to look and work outside his comfort zone. To use his talents and drive to provide for his family the best way he knew could.
After that i accepted a warehouse job im strong and that was my available talent to exploit. I had drive and my boss noticed that and the art degree on my resume. Im now the COO amd VP of a small buisness and able to provide for my family in a way i never dreamed. Thank Vince Gilliam!

Watch some good Futurama episodes. I recommend 'The Sting', 'Game of Tones', and 'The Late Philip J. Fry'. Of course, movies like Perks of Being a Wallflower, Shawshank Redemption, and a few others already on here are good suggestions.

Good will hunting... Makes you feel like anything is possible for anyone.
Weirdly enough, after a particularly awful heartbreak, I became fixated with Dukes of Hazzard. Yes, the Sean William Scott, Johnny Knoxville version. I don't know why, even to this day.
After I broke up with my boyfriend I tried watching this great film about a guy making sure that the a big establishment his working in is safe for everyone. I admire Kevin James and as a gay guy whose into fat guys, I admire him so much. Paul Blart Mall Cop helped me get over my chub ex boyfriend.

Not a movie, but after two close friends of mine died within a month of one another, I watched all of Avatar: The Last Airbender. I think it helped me escape a bit. It was such a pretty show, and even the sad parts seemed lighthearted compared to what I was feeling inside.

Paul Blart Mall Cop. Did I do it right? Karma please.
When my girlfriend broke up with me I watched Redline with a few friends. It helped a lot, but I guess it could've been anything to get my mind off it.
50/50. It was after a break up, and it pretty much got all the tears out of my system. Every other time it's series on netflix like, how I met your mother.

This is propaganda, reddit circle jerks about Paul blast mall cop right when the sequels about to come out. Nice try illuminati but you're not fooling me
Believe it or not, A human Centipede did help me a lot.
My girlfriend who dumped me for a some better looking guy, i always imagined here in the "middle" of the centipede.
Ahh, It was bliss.
I just lost my job. My girlfreind broke up with me because i lost my job. My car got repod and i couldnt pay my rent anymore. All was lost, in my despair I convinced myself to jump off of my nyc apartment balconey. As I entered the patio the tv called me it was a Comercial for a fat man who played as a mall cop. I have never seen something so funny and thus rethought my life. Thanks Paul Blart Mall Cop.
OP, I wanted to suggest Good Will Hunting to you. It may seem strange, but I easily relate to it. It got me through a rough time. I consider myself a person with gifts and yet I'm stuck in a small town... Even now I will put this movie on and smile.
Also, its not a movie, but If you want someone to just bullshit with ... you can hit me up. I'm not sure what youre going through right now, but we can talk if you need to.
When I was going through my first rough break up, The Fountain made me realize there's much worse things that can happen in a relationship. One of my favorite movies now.
After everyone I knew died on the same say, and I got cancerebolaitis, watching Paul Blart Mall Cop cured me, and ended the spiral of depression I was in.
My sophomore year of high school, I was very sad and depressed for a while. I sort of felt empty in a way.. I had no desire to do anything. All I felt is like I needed to get away. I saw the movie The Perks of Being A Wallflower, and I related to the character in a way. I felt alienated, I usually hung out with an older crowd too. For some reason, the movie helped me overcome that feeling of anxiousness, and for that I am forever grateful.
It was a long day. The L is shut down and can't get home back to Brooklyn/Queens easily. Had a long defeating weekend with the food truck. Definitely lost more money than I spent....it's days like today I am glad I have a robust DVD collection of nothing more than Paul Blart Mall Cop to soften the pain of weekends like this.
I went through a very depressed time in my life. I saw no meaning to living, no connection to what I was doing. I started smoking weed, drinking, and suffered from insomnia.
During that time, the movie Contact really helped me find meaning in the world. This scene in particular (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sRPUO6gGSh8). The line "In all our searching, the only thing that makes the emptiness bearable, is each other. " I feel so connected to this idea, and it truly gave me something.
On another note, This scene (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RoSLxmZ-Gzo) from scrubs has always held a resounding connection to how I deal with both the deaths of those around me and the death of my patients. Everytime I watch it I can see myself in Dr.Cox, and his eyes and facial expression.
Wasn't necessarily a movie, but a character. Luna Lovegood from Harry Potter was inspiration. No matter how much shit happens to her she can just be shrug it off, smile and get on with life. Such a tripper, my dream girl!
I'd just gone through a divorce and The Secret Life Of Walter Mitty came out.
Something about the self actualization, the cinematography and the brilliant soundtrack got me.
It's my favourite movie of all time now. Saw it 3 times at the cinemas. Watched it monthly until i met my current girlfriend.
Watch it if you want to catch the travel bug, or need to stay on track with your goals.
This is a bit late, but the movie Withnail & I helped me in a couple ways. A friend of mine showed it to me and watching it made me realise I was in a toxic friendship with my housemate at the time. The movie was both a realisation and reminder of why I had to fight to get out and stay out. It's easily one of my favourite movies as well.

Really odd but I watched American History X the day my mother died. I don't really know why I picked that movie or what it means.
Watching Paul Blart Mall Cop cured my dog of cancer and made my fish stop being such an arrogant dick all the time. By the end of this masterpiece they were both doing backflips through underwater flaming hoops

I had a pretty rough patch a few years back. It started with watching The Darjeeling Limited, when I started bawling less than half way through and couldn't stop. If you haven't seen it, I highly recommend it. It's really quite humorous as well, I think it takes a couple watches before you get past that to the complexity of the characters. Unless you're used to Wes Anderson. Anyway. The next movie I watched was Australia, because the first half is fairly light-hearted, and the rest is more moving than sad. Again, I cried through more than half the movie. So, I figured maybe my hormones were going super wacky, and I just really needed a good, cathartic cry. I followed up by watching Titanic, Grave of the Fireflies, Atonement, Moulin Rouge!, 500 Days of Summer, Amalie, The Science of Sleep, Eat Pray Love, The Dark Knight, even watched The Last Song multiple times (in a regular mood, it's tolerable if you pretend her little brother doesn't exit). Then I watched Remember Me. Very nice film. It felt relatable, and it was happy. And then the end came. I could not stop crying. It developed into a full blown panic attack - the first one I ever had at that; I had no idea what the fuck was going on, I was shaking and couldn't stand up, I couldn't control the muscles in my face, it was awful. All panic attacks are awful, but that one has stuck with me over the years. Eventually I managed to talk to my brother, who actually did all the talking and telling me to drink water which helped a ton because you can't cry when you're drinking water. I can't really remember the day after that, my brain and body were still trying to figure out why I was dying and then why I didn't die. Deciding that I really didn't want to cry any more, whether or not my subconscious was cool with that, I turned to my 100% reliable source for happy endings. I watched Pride and Prejudice, the newer one with Kierra Knightly. I just watched it over and over again. I started to feel better after a couple days of this, and kept it on in the background as I worked on all of my studying and things that I had missed while I was having a bit of a mental break down. A year later I started treatment for general anxiety and clinical depression. I think that if something like this happened to me again, I'd probably go a similar route, maybe just shorter. There is a difference between being controlled by your emotions, and denying the amount any situation might be able to affect you. It is a fine, delicate line, but a crucial tight rope to practice on in the form of mindfulness. Anyway, these may not be what you're looking for, but you should give them all a go. Except for Grave of the Fireflies, they all have pretty normal amounts of happy and sad, instead of straight up devastation.
Blart-est thread ever I exclaimed. Mic dropped. Walked off stage. Fell and broke leg. A stranger ran over and helped me to my feet. It wasn't Kevin James so I screamed and fell down again. Then I glanced over and saw a poster on the wall. PBMC2. Then I sobbed and knew it was going to be all right.
Not a movie, but the True Trans series by Laura Jane Grace really helped me come to terms with my feelings about my gender identity and gave me hope for the future. I was suicidal and self-doubting when I found them, but I watched them all in one sitting and decided to turn my life around and start working toward a goal.

I once lost my house to foreclosure and my wife left me because of it. Soon after, I found out my parents were killed.
It was an awful time in my life. However, one thing got me through it -
Paul Blart, Mall Cop.
Brings a tear to my eye.
Lost In translation. I bring it up a lot to people who ask, but there's just something about it that broke through the waves of depression in my life. I was out of high school for a year, just got my first apartment, living alone, and lonely as hell. I was not getting sleep either. So 3 in the morning comes along, I'm working on homework and thinking "I'll just put this on for background noise." I watched the whole movie, and didn't touch the work. It just matched so well with how I was feeling, alone and lost, and gave me hope that things could be better. I watch it every month or so and listen to the soundtrack when I'm feeling down. I get the same feeling with the movie Her. Just something about them.

One time I was really down in the dumps after failing my exam to become a policeman due to my hypoglycemia, on top of being a single father to my preteen daughter and taking care of my elderly mother. So I took a job at a local mall as a security guard to provide for them.
I took my job very serious, no matter what wacky mall hijinks ensued. I met a beautiful woman who didn't have any attraction to me at first--but after foiling a gang of thugs hellbent on robbing a bank inside the mall (it makes sense), I not only managed to foil the robbers, collaborate with the policemen who rejected me, I eventually won the heart of my lady love. We were married in the mall and lived happily ever after ... to be continued!
Hollywood approached me, offering vast sums of money for my life rights. I agreed and the movie Observe and Report was made. That always cheers me up.
In all seriousness, I remember watching Mississippi Burning for the first time only a few months ago, with a guy from work. I had lost most of my friends due to divorce, and I had accepted an invite from this guy to hang out, drink a few beers, watch a movie maybe. I had no idea what the movie was about, so when my friend was naming off movies as he looked over his collection the name stood out to me, and I said "hey, let's watch that. "
He turned to look at me and said, "You sure you wanna see this movie?"
I said yes, and he shrugged and we started watching it.
I should probably mention that I'm white, and my new friend is not, and if you know this movie, you could maybe understand how watching it with him might have been uncomfortable.
At almost every scene I would look over and see my new friend looking at me sideways.
When the church was burning, there he was, just staring at me.
When they beat the guy Willem Dafoe was talking to, I saw him looking at me.
When they chucked that kid out of the car, after beating him, I saw him looking at me.
After every terrible scene in that movie I would glance over and see him looking at me , and I would think to myself, 'God, what is he thinking?'
When it ended he turned to look at me, and I knew right then what had been going through his mind as he finally spoke to me
"Hey man, you wanna stay longer and watch Paul Blart, Mall Cop"?

I feel like this is an elaborate marketing scheme for the sure to be shit - Paul Blart Mall Cop 2
I had AIDS, until we liquefied a Paul Blart Mall Cop DVD and injected it directly into my bloodstream. Now I am AIDS free, and know some sick segway tricks.
Nobody listen to the other assholes on here, you're probably going through a rough time OP and I get it. I really do, during the blizzards in Buffalo last winter I got a call from my dad saying mom wasn't going to make it. It had been a tough year already but I couldn't believe I would be looking down at a hole in the ground with my mom in it. It really tore me up. So I drove from my shitty apartment in NYC upstate to buffalo through some of the worst driving conditions ever. Coupled with the fact I just lost the only women in my life at that point I had thoughts in my head about just killing myself. The booze didn't help the drive either and I went straight over a guardrail into a ditch. Don't buy that cheesy "that's the last thing I remember" because it never is. I felt nothing but cold, sick and half dead. As paramedics pick me up and put me in the back of an ambulance, some 2 hours later, I feel dead. Everything was so surreal. When I got to the hospital I fell asleep and woke up handcuffed, I had forced someone in the lane next to me off the road. It was a minivan with a 6 month old baby in it, dead. And the cops found all my booze too. As I tell my dad what happened, trying to convince him to bail me out he asks why? And I pause for a moment asking myself the same question. "I need to see Kevin James play Paul blart one more time" I say. My dad says "It's the family comedy of the year son". The prison guard looks over and says to me "peanut butter heals the cracks in your heart"
I've had a bad run the last couple of years. In 2007, my dog that I grew up with passed away after 14 years of wonderful companionship. The girlfriend I had at the time started cheating on me then up and moved to another state without warning after we had been living together for over a year. Heartbroken and alone, I moved backed in with moms to regroup and try to focus on the next step. A few months after moving in, my mother was diagnosed with a benign brain tumor and was given a 95% chance of full recovery. She suffered a pulmonary embolism and passed away on Christmas day 2008. Found a new lady later that year who ended up pregnant and got an abortion without telling. After much time spent contemplating my life and how everything ended up being so shitty. I found another wonderful lady who picked me up, dusted me off, and made me think that life was again worth living. After 2 great years she cheated on me with my best friend and left me for him. This year I was diagnosed with a rare pancreatic disease that can only be treated by taking pills with every meal for the rest of my life. I'm single and as lonely as I have ever been. I should probable watch Paul Blart: Mall Cop..

My dad and I used to watch Paul Blart Mall Cop together. It was the only time we ever really connected. He passed away a year ago from prostate cancer. On the one year anniversary of his death, Paul Blart Mall Cop 2 came out in theaters. I went alone and watchedโฆ but I could feel him sitting there with me.

On an actual serious note, it was the movie "Simon Birch". For anyone who isn't familiar, it's about a kid who was born extremely small in a time when that type of thing seemed like either a defect or a gift. A lot of intense crap went down throughout the movie and, honestly, had me crying a lot in spite of my parent's divorce. Sometimes it really struck up depression however I had realized very soon that all I had were divorced parents. I wasn't physically or mentally off. My entire family was healthy and intact; the only downside was that my parents weren't together!
I continued to watch the movie a few more times as it slowly became my life and inspiration as well as motivation for all of the things that I did. Absolutely fantastic movie. I'd recommend it to anyone. Interestingly enough, I showed the movie to my parents who watched it and loved it. I specifically remember my dad looking at me after and saying through tears, "You know I love you, your brothers, and your mother very much, but you've gotta serious-tag your posts because everybody knows that Paul Blart Mall Cop is the fucking shit."
Wreck It Ralph. Yes it's a light hearted kids comedy but it taught me a lot about me. See I was in this very abusive relationship and no there wasn't any physical abusiveness. Just emotional. She was always overly critical of me, every little thing that I did always needed improvements even things i thought i was already good at. By the end of it I lost my friends, I had zero to nothing self esteem, I really hated myself for a long time. It wasn't until I saw Wreck It Ralph in that Volcano scene. When recited the words in his self help group, "I'm bad, and that's good. I will never be good, and that's not bad. There's no one I'd rather be than me." I was 23 when that movie came out and when that part came on, I cried. That quote really helped me out till this day.

Nobody else seems to be recommending this, but Paul Blart Mall Cop is a truly stupefying movie. It's a lovely movie about a man that becomes an often sought after profession, also known as a mall cop. Really brought a tear to my eye. Couldn't recommend more.

Anyways on a serious note, a few years back I was fully baptized as a Jehovah's Witness. I grew up in the religion and was expected to dedicate my life to full time ministry work into adulthood. The next summer after being baptized I moved and got a new job. It was there that I met a beautiful NON-witness girl and, welp, long story short paul blart mall cop.

One movie helped me recover from drug addiction. Twas truly inspiring and made me think of how lucky I am to be alive and not waste every second of it. That movie was Paul Blart: Mall Cop
Crazy Stupid Love. An all star cast. A wonderful story. Hilarious. Exciting. Feel good. Feel bad. Feel sad. Feel. Just a fucking great movie. I watched it all the time after my last break up and I just love that movie.
You, me, and Dupree during my first year back from my freshman year of college. Just had broken up with my first college girlfriend. Man, who would have thought they'd become the directors of cap 2, cap 3, and avengers 3?

Im pretty sure this is how dank memes start.
We are all a part of history. Let that sink in for a moment...
Reddit, I know you won't hear me but, I AM going through rough time right now. I was really hoping this thread would give me ideas for some movie to pick me up a little. The subsequent insanity of this rabbit hole of a thread has been both infuriating and pretty fucking giggly. So thanks, I guess.
Girlfriend of 8 years who I was about to propose to, left me. For another woman. Within the matter of 1 week I had become Ross from friends. I didn't know what I was going to do, until I saw that movie. I couldn't believe my eyes. I was blinded for that entire time being with that girl. I had finally come to terms. I realized I wanted to be a mall police officer. All thanks to Paul Blart Mall Cop.
MIyazaki movies help a lot when I am going through a bad part of my depression. Ponyo, Kiki's Delivery Service, Howl's Moving Castle, and Princess Mononoke specifically. May do a marathon next weekend actually.
Edit: I haven't seen the mall police officer one yet

Ma Vie en Rose. I had been estranged from my family for almost 9 years for reasons that become very evident if you look up the movie. Afterwards I realized for better or worse, they are my parents. I made the call and never looked back.

The Fountain. Might sound weird. Let me explain. WARNING: i suck at grammar so follow if you can...
Loved a girl to death. We didn't work out. We saw 'Children Of Men' and loved it'. I wanted to see "The Fountain". She wanted to see it also. We watched it. Friday opening night...theater was not packed....men and women all crying...such a harsh film. After it was over we did not speak for 1 hour....car ride, back to my place, etc...I couldn't talk to her nor could she. We finally spoke up and had the best sex/love-making ever. We broke up. What movie helped me through a rough time? this one...ya I didn't last with the girl but fuck...it makes me feel alive watching it.
Tim Burton movies really help me out. Tim Burton is bipolar and it shows through all of his films if you know what to look for. Whenever I'm in a bipolar episode, it makes me understand what I'm feeling. Alice in Wonderland and Sweeney Todd are my go-to movies.
Well I'll give a serious answer. In middle school I went through a bit of a lonely phase as I halted a lot of my activities and got a little lazy. The movie Yes Man seriously changed my views. Now whenever my friends ask me to go do something, if I'm free, I go. I don't care if it's just something they're excited about that I think I'll hate. I go anyways.
It changed my life and I had the best high school experience ever. Unfortunately, in college, I don't have friends to ask me to do things and nobody I've met so far is adventurous so I need a new strategy.
About a Boy. I related a bit too much with the main character. I have trust issues. Even though I knew his reasoning was flawed, it was a bit of a escape, "if you allow people to make you happen, then you can allow people to make you unhappy as well." It still gets me.
It may sound silly but what sticks out most for me is Dude, Where's My Car. I had a humungous crush on someone at work. Made a few moves. Got let down. Hit me hard. Spilled my emotions on a forum I used to go on and someone recommended I watch a comedy film to cheer me up. I'd seen Dude, Where's My Car before but decided to whack that on. It made me completely forget why I was sad as I was too busy laughing. Laughter is tremendous medicine!

A girl I had dated quite seriously broke up with me after we had dated for about a year and I was pretty torn up about it for awhile... I must have watched Office Space somewhere in the ballpark of 50 times in the 2 weeks that followed. Not sure why. Something about it just made me feel like things would just be okay... lo and behold, they were.
HAROLD AND MAUDE was a movie that changed my life. I was suffering from severe social anxiety and that movie helped me to finally get the courage to overcome my fears and start trying to date.
Not a movie, but I went through probably the loneliest stretch of my life last semester (first year of college, and first away from home), and Futurama really helped me. It can be a bit too comedy focused at times, but the emotional episodes between Fry and Leela really make the show for me.
EDIT: the more I think about, 500 Days of Summer really taught me to let go and not obsess over girls. And Red vs Blue has legitimately taught me lessons on friendship and trust. Somehow.
The movie of The Wall (by Pink Floyd) helped teach me to build walls to keep people out...Until I finally realized the message was to not build walls at all!
Let me explain. I need something to look forward to or I might not be able to keep going, so give me this one guy. In PB3, he becomes a Police Officer and takes down big time bad guys like in "Die Hard". Just thinking of this movie is getting me through hard times.
True Story time! My great great grandpappy, Paulo Bartholomew, was the inspiration for my favorite movie of all time! Back in the 1700s, the position of "mall cop" was invented to keep the peace amongst the local flash mobs and fishmonger crowds. Pappy Paulo was the first to carry a can of pepper spray, and is credited for inventing the retractable key ring!
The only thing that makes me feel better about something shitty occurring in my life besides Paul Blart: Mall Cop, is when I'm dreaming about being Blarts sidekick. Riding around on a mini Segway trailer right behind him. Equipped only with a trusty flash light, a taser and my affection for Paul. Maybe one day I'll tell this man I love him, maybe I won't? Maybe we can taste each others mustaches? Maybe I want to wear his skin and be Paul Blart: Mall Cop extraordinaire. The mystery of the dream excites me even as a type it out now. Oh Paul, you devil you.
It took me 15 years to get through college and graduate studies. Why you ask did I take so damn long and how did I finally finish it? Yes... You guessed it: Paul Blart Mall Cop.
Depends on the "rough time", I guess. In general, I get inspiration from simple movies. "The Lion King" - cheesy as fuck, but it makes me believe that anything is possible. "Gladiator" is a single most inspiring movie about character, but I also like "The Last Castle". "Forest Gump" is the movie to go to, when you get tangled up in life and jsut don't know where to go next. It makes me believe that whatever I do, even if it's not the best choice, it will still work out in the end.
"The New Guy".. its entertaining, refreshing and definitely inspiring for many

my grandma had just died and my parents were a mess. i was too young to understand what had happened. While my parents were dealing with her death, me and my sister watched schindlers list. it really gave me persepective on death and how we cna all fight through it, and its the fight that matters and not when or how we die. what matters is fighting with all we've got to live the best lives we can because life is such a gift. but this didnt make me feel much better until i watch paul blart mall cop. that was when i truly saw one man fight for what was really right. someone who just stood up for everything he believed in instead of rotting away in some camp bitching about not having food. paul blart fought the bad guys AND got to eat whatever he wanted to while he did it. what a great movie.
We're aware of the issue, and are doing everything in our power to figure it out. We've got our best officer on the case, and I can guarantee you that Captain Blart will have this sorted soon. In the meantime, happy cake day, sir.

Kiki's Delivery Service.
It's a nice little Ghibli work that's full of optimism and good cheer. And Kiki goes through a sad phase as well, but comes out of it all the stronger, and I find that uplifting.
Kind of vague, but let me elaborate...
If you're going through a hard time because of a breakup, go work out and get the body that will make everyone want to date you.
If you just got laid off from work, or just hate your job, start developing skills or look into what skills you need to change profession or companies. Learn code, or finance, or switch industries.
If it's something that's completely out of your control, work on other aspects of your life that you do have control of, because you have one life to live, make the best of it and keep going. You have the entire community of Reddit supporting you! :)

Uuuuh... The biggest one is "Reign Over Me" a fairly melancholy film starring Adam Sandler back when he was still good and Don Cheadle. It's about a man who finds an old friend falling apart. It's truly worth a watch.

Forgetting Sarah Marshall got me through the break up between me and my first long term girlfriend. I love that movie. It's the perfect combo of comedy and real emotions.
Not a movie, but the anime Elfen Lied made me feel like shit after I had been robbed and evicted twice and betrayed by one of my best friends. I had been wondering if my life was worth sticking around for and the fact that something made me feel worse made me remember that I could feel better too. That was around seven years ago, things have gotten better in the interim and my life was definitely worth sticking around for.
edit oh, sorry about the serious answer, I didn't realize this was another fucking circlejerk.
Not a movie exactly but Kobe Bryant's documentary: "Muse". I happen to watch it when I was bed ridden after a motorbike accident in Vietnam. That really boosted my mental strength.
I saw Guardians of the Galaxy a couple nights before I had two exams in a row. I hadn't studied much for the past week, and was so stressed that I wasn't absorbing anything from what I was studdying. So my parents, obviously knowing this kind of stress, took me to the most fun movie out at the time. To this day if I'm stressed I turn it on and it calms me right down. (it really helped when I got my wisdom teeth removed recently)
Edit: I should have looked at the thread before saying this, it seems everyone's saying Paul Blart.

Ink restored my faith in humanity after a breakup that turned me into a pathetic puddle of self-loathing and depression. Still makes me feel so much better whenever I'm upset. I've seen it at least 4 times now and I still cry happy feely tears during the last half hour of the movie
Here Comes the Boom. It made me realize I can do anything. If an over weight Mall Cop can become an mma fighter, I can be a success. I am now a billionaire.
The Lego Movie makes me happy. Such a joyful thing to watch.

Patch Adams.
I was literally going to kill myself. For reasons that only those of us who have attempted it can understand, I called a friend and told him my intentions. He said he wouldn't stop me, but first I had to watch a movie with him. Then he would leave, wait for an appointed time, and call 911.
I was in tears when I finished the movie. It was like it called me out, that what Patch Adams, and Robin Williams, went through was just as bad, if not worse, than what I was going through. I figured, "If they can do it, I can to." My friend helped me quit drinking and huffing, and now I can control my drinking and I don't huff. My GPA is in recovery and Im in therapy. My life's not perfect, but its alright, and I'm thankful for both my best friend and that stupid movie that saved my life.

This flight from Australia to LA was something like 18 hours long and it was turbulent as fuck. Like, air pocket and hundred foot drops, turbulent. Seat belt light constantly on, people shrieking, slightly terrifying.
I watched Punch Drunk Love probably 5 times, back to back. It was so slow and soothing. Love that movie for getting me through that. Kept me totally at peace.

Hate it all you want, but 500 days of summer helped me through some stuff relationship stuff.
Before I moved to my apartment I had enough time and memory to download only 1 movie on to a crappy laptop my friend gave me. I downloaded Pootie Tang.
When I got to my apartment, I didn't have a book, tv or internet for five months and the only thing that kept me was Pootie Tang.
Ok, no, in all honesty. Growing up, I read a lot of books and watched a lot of movies as a form of escape as I struggled to cope with domestic violence and dysphoria related to my gender identity. It was an easy way to forget my stresses and get wrapped up in a fictional life. In fact, one of the pieces of the puzzle that led to me figuring out my gender identity was the fact that I always related to male characters. I would in fact strictly seek out stories with male main protagonists. I think it really hit home when I connected with the strong character of Paul Blart: Mall Cop. Without it, I'm not sure I'd be the man I am today.

My girlfriend suffers from depression and sometimes her pills don't always work, her go to happy movie is Finding Nemo. Sometimes when we're out she'll get stressed or upset and I'll start to quote the movie and she brightens up a bit and laughs. :) Her favorite is when I either do Dory talking to the whales, ( everyone gives me a funny look in public but she can't help but giggle at it ) and Just keep swimming.
How unfunny can a group of twentysomethings be? Find out in this shit thread. Sorry OP. For what it's worth The Vicious Kind with Adam Scott hit me just right at just the right time.
I was on a one-way trip to Mars. I said goodbye to my family and friends, got in the space shuttle, and left the only place I had ever known. I left my home. I was crying profusely and I felt like a broken man. Then, one day, I was digging for valuable minerals and stumbled upon a DVD buried deep in the red sand. "Pole Blorps Mel Cap" Kavorn Jimmys acting changed my life
It was only last month that my cat soggy Jasper died on his 10th birthday. We live in California and due to this drought I couldn't afford the fine to give him water. I found him a few feet away from his bone dry water dish while I was bringing in my 32 pack of Nestlรฉ water I got at Walmart after my day at the country club swimming pool. While I was burying him in the yard later that day my neighbor was having a yard sale. I finished up and took a look at what he was selling. That's when my life changed, he had an unopened copy of Paul Blart Mall Cop on DVD. I've never seen the movie before so I decide to buy it. I ended up watching it that night and let me tell you, it was a masterpiece, I was smiling from ear to ear just as Jasper would want me to be. I really recommend it if you are going through tough times. I've been okay up until a few days ago when I was on Steam workshop and trying to install a talking horse mod for Skyrim and it was trying to charge me. It really fucked me up. So tomorrow I'm taking the day off and going to see Paul Blart Mall Cop 2 with my Nan. I hope it's just as amazing as the first.
Bridge To Terabithia. A friend of mine had just been hit by a car on his way to work (he was riding a bicycle), and it really hit me hard. What happens to the characters in the movie helped me come to terms with it. It was sort of a similar to when I watched Spice World on repeat right after my mom passed away, since that was her favorite movie and it helped me feel close to her again.
After watching Paul Blart: Mall Cop I got really depressed because I was no longer watching Paul Blart: Mall Cop. So I watched it again and things got better.
Frozen. I'd become really depressed and was doing nothing with my life.
Two years or so of job searching and the first job I got I got let go, turns out they only wanted a temp. So I was covering for a guy without being told, they still got their ยฃ1k bonus for hiring someone off the dole.

I was sad about my job at the movie theatre. It just seemed like I was watching the same things over and over again. Some serious Groundhog Day shit. And then I saw Paul Blart: Mall Cop. When people say "that movie changed my life!" I usually laugh them off, because how could a movie incite any sort of fundamental change? When I saw Paul Blart: Mall Cop I collapsed to the floor and ecstatic laughter burst from my lungs joyously, the glow of the projector like a holy beacon of change. Now I am a mall cop. Just like my hero, Paul Blart.
The secret life of Walter Mitty. It helped me through a rough patch and then breakup with my boyfriend. The idea, the music, the imagery. Just a world away from mine
I transferred universities after my first year to a new school where I didn't know anybody. To make matters worse, two weeks before classes started I tore my ACL and was told it required surgery.
So, just moved to a new town, in a college town whose activities are almost all outdoor based (tubing the river, hiking, biking, bar crawls). Makes it hard to get to know people when you're so limited mobility wise (had a lengthy recovery process that was made worse by surgical complications). Fast forward a semester, I'm deeply depressed, abusing my pain pills, and starting to get in with a bad crowd, the "antiestablishment" group who do any drugs we can get our hands on and talk shitty about everyone else whose enjoying school and what the town has to offer.
By then I'm at the lowest point of my life, looking back at it now, had nothing come along to change my ways, I probably would not have made it out alive past that year. One night I'm about to go out with a guy from the group, thinks he might know someone we might be able to score from. As hard as I try, I can't ever seem to remember why I decided to flake out on him, but I stay in and go over to the roommates movie collection and pick out a movie based solely on how interesting the DVD box looked and chose Requiem for a Dream. For those who have seen the movie, I don't think I need to explain why that was such a life changing experience at that point in my life. I've never actually seen it again after that first time, the movies message just hit too close to home, and now that I've cleaned up my life and left all that trash behind, I think it'd be too hard for me to watch it and have all those memories rush back.
Edit: Get this! I just emailed my old college roommate a link to this thread cause I thought he'd get a kick out of it. He just informed me that back in college he lost the dvd case for Paul Blart Mall Cop after having watched it so many times, that he threw out Requiem and kept the disc in that box. I always wondered what mall security had to do with dreams?
Not a movie, but when I was having a busy semester with lots on my plate, I found that the entirety of Fist of the North Star was available for streaming. I managed to stream all 152 episodes in about 2 1/2 weeks. That was time well spent. I even shed a few manly tears during some episodes.
Not exactly a movie, but Red vs Blue season 10. Without giving too much away, the ending is based around the quote, "Never say goodbye. If you don't say goodbye then you aren't really gone, you just aren't here right now." One of the closest relationships in my life had just ended and I was having a hard time coping. The resolution to that season helped me start feeling better.
Swingers
His stupid voice messages helped me not leave my own and now I know I'm so money (even though, sometimes I don't know it) and she's a little bunny rabbit and I have big bear claws!
Life wasn't going well for me. Financial aid was taking my money instead of helping me pay for college. My boyfriend slept with my best friend. There was no hope in sight than I watched Jack and Jill. I kept saying to myself why does Sandler still get paid! I didn't think I could trust anyone again...then at my darkest hour Kevin James came into my life. I've been watching Paul Blart Mall Cop ever since. Let his fat jiggle and mustache touch us all!

I Lurk on reddit quite a bit, but rarely ever post. this is kind of a topic that hits close to home. When i was around 12 years old me and my dad were living from motel to motel sometimes we had money to eat, sometimes not. On the weekends however we stayed at his girlfriends house in a nearby town( however to far to commute for a dropoff at school for me). one day while at her Apartment i found The lord of the rings: fellowship of the ring. Ill never forget the feeling of seeing a cave troll the first time, or the feeling i had when Gandalf fell (Spoiler alert). something awoken in me. While watching the film all my problems didnt exist anymore. it was just me, and middle earth. i watched that movie 8 times one weekend, and my dad's GF said "wow prawl31 you really like this movie don't ya? why dont you keep it?" I literally fell apart. i cried and sobbed in thanks to this gift (i didn't get many back then). i kept that movie with me and still have it today. i was able to watch it in some of the motels we stayed in, and it really took the edgo off of not having food for the day. fast forward one decade and ther i was balling my eyes out at the end of the last Hobbit movie. Note because i loved the film in particular, but becuase i felt like i was saying goodbye to something precious, a final thank you to something that damn well may have saved my teen years from depression. I wasn't entirely ready to say goodbye, but who ever really is? thank you Peter Jackson and Tolkien, you both inadvertently saved my life
My mom is a very emotional person. When her (extremely manipulative and abusive) boyfriend broke up with her, she couldn't get over him. She watched Paul Blart: Mall Cop Sense and Sensibility (1995) all the time. I'm pretty sure she has watched that movie at least a few hundred times. I'm talking at least once day, sometimes up to 5 times. She was unemployed at the time and had plenty of hours to spare, before she finally got back on her feet.
While I haven't really had any "rough" times I do have a movie that is consistently a beacon of light in my life. The last dragon. I have absolutely no idea why, but for some reason that B movie just fills me with pure joy whenever I watch it. I watch it once or twice every 6 months, and every time its just as magical.

Gladiator saved me when I needed to be entertained.
I'm an alcoholic who has basically destroyed his life and has nothing left to live for besides personal gratification in the next 10 min. I still work, I still make money but I have no hope of becoming a human that is worthy of the human race. I'm content to die in the next few years and don't really care about life... Then I saw the movie "Warrior". I won't go into the plot because you need to do it yourself. But the fact that I spent the time I wasn't drunk Listening to audio-books and ignoring the world because I wasn't part of it really hit home. The line 'God dammit you bastard turn this ship around. Turn the ship around. We're all lost. lost. We're all lost'
I still drink too much but I have a reason to life. This movie is the reason.
Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist. Helped me feel like a teenager again after my dad was rushed to hospital in the middle of the night because his cancer was getting worse.
I was really curious about what movies were really inspirational, but I couldn't stop laughing even if it wasn't funny.
There isn't a movie I can think of that really helped me through tough times. I know some movies made me cry, like A Walk To Remember..., other movies that were inspirational like Gattaca, others that filled me with wonder, The Prestige, Hugo, oh and recently Song of The Sea. That one is really beautiful and highly recommended if you like animation films.

After a shitty time at school. I was done with life. I couldn't go on anymore.
My therapist recommended me a movie to watch which, according to him, changed peoples lives.
Boy was he right!
After watching Paul Blart Mall Cop I became happy again and got an odd fetish for Kevin James.
It saved my life and spiced things up in the bedroom!
I might be late for this, but I was going trough a hard breakup, and I watched a beautiful mind, you know thinking that shit, the power of your mind and things like that, and then I realized, oh dear, this guy must have watched Paul Blart Mall Cop and found out how to deal with his stuff. True story, can't find the wikipedia link I'm on mobile

When I had a terrible time at coachella , the movie film 'Paul Blart Mall Cop', helped me ignore the stench of hippies
I was feeling very depressed, like very very depressed, suicidal. I was scared I would succumb and kill myself.
I texted my Mum and asked how I admit myself to the mental hospital and she rang up confused and crying, it was out of nowhere to her. She took me straight to the doctors and then I stayed at her house for a week, with anti-depressant I was prescribed and my guitar (not really relevant). I began the anti-depressants and I was experiencing a lot of nausea, restlessness and lack of appetite, drinking only water throught the day and little food, which is crazy because I am a big guy with a big appetite. THAT was very scary. Anyway, I really wasn't feeling any better, being stuck at Mum's boring house all day just staring at my guitar and watching movies on Foxtel (Cable in Australia). Then a movie came on that I had seen two or three times, Silver Linings Playbook. I started to connect to Bradley Cooper's character a lot and half an hour in I had to turn it off because it was very similar to my life at the time (girl troubles too). The scene with him running in a garbage bag really got into my head and so I went for a run for pretty much the first time in my life. I was terrible and out of breath and did not get very far, but an hour later I tried again and got a bit further and it was a little easier. Over the rest of the week at Mum's I continued running. After I was feeling a little better I returned home and ran twice a day, for as long as I could. This running gave me something to do, made me feel a sense of accomplishment and made me want to eat more and I felt much healthier physically and mentally. I stopped taking the anti-depressant after I just didn't feel right.
I slowly but surely felt happier and less empty inside.
All because of Silver Linings Playbook.
TL;DR Silver Linings Playbook - Because exercise is good for depression.
I was on a flight to meet both my sisters for the first time as we were all separated, i was a little scared and didn't know where my mind should be at. it just made me click over and feel that nothing can stop me.

Paul Blart: Mall Cop looked like it was going to be just Kevin James falling down again and again with Adam Sandler looking at him behind the director saying "It's all good buddy, party at my place tonight and I'll find you a supporting role in my next movie so you'll make your money then." and it was which made my last diagnosis of cancer really easy.
I used to be afraid of going to malls. I never felt safe and that caused me a lot of anxiety, depression and anger. Until I saw Paul Blart: Mall Cop. My soul was rested. I felt safe. I felt alive.

Well my friend had recommended Fight club for it's gritty anti-societal message, that said it was ok to be sad and tired of the world. I tried it, didn't work for me. But I found that Paul Blart: Mall Cop gave me just as grit, but wrapped up in a prettier, chubbier package. That movie saved my life!

The Terminal because I was stuck in Canada with my mum and step-dad and it was freezing cold and I didn't know anybody and it was super lonely and depressing and I wanted to go home but I couldn't. This movie really cheered me up and I must have watched it about 10 times in a month.
For some reason The Wackness helped me out when I had just broke up with my girlfriend a few years back. Don't know why really, it just gave me the feeling of "everything is gonna be alright".
Into the Wild was a very meaningful film to me when I was struggling with what to do with my life.

I broke both my femurs trying to recreate the Segway jump scene from Paul Blart Mall Cop. During my time in then hospital I switched rooms a few times, but the only time I wasn't crying my eyes out was when I was in the room with the small mounted tv. I befriended the person next to me, a girl, roughly my age. Her and I bonded over our mutuality of being hospital bound, and throughout the week and a half I was bed ridden, we found out how much we had in common! I realized she was the girl of my dreams only when they asked us what movie we wanted to watch.... Because at that moment, both of is said at the exact same time: that one where Kevin James plays the guy who can't quite make it into the big police leagues so he's stuck defending a mall but then adversity strikes and he overcomes his fear. Kevin James is: Ballmart small cop!
Motivational growth helped me realize that life can take you in multiple directions, and you have to forge your own path or others will choose it for you.

I was going through a depression patch of my life when I, believe it or not, discovered Requiem for a Dream. It made me realize my life is no where near as bad as it could be. Although, I do have to say, Paul Blart: Mall Cop got me laughing again.

Paul Blart: Mall Cop, a movie that changed the lives of dozens of people, please take to the Paul Blart: Mall Cop IMDB page and leave a positive review!! Its the least we can do after all Paul Blart: Mall Cop has touched so many of us in so many ways.
Oddly enough, 500 Days of Summer helped me through two tough breakups. It just put things into a perspective that sometimes it just isn't worth it, that you gotta move on and be constructive.
Not a movie per se, but I always go for wild animal documentaries. It makes me appreciate being a human, pretty much outside the food chain, and helps me realize all the emotions and hard times I'm going through can even be considered a luxury.
I use to be addicted to porn. Maybe watching up to 5hours a day of it. And then somehow on one of the many websites I noticed Paul Blart Mall Cop.
I am now down to only watching this movie and one jerk a day.
Thank you Kevin James
I used to work for a crap boss that sent me home one day because he was in a bad mood. Not quite ready to go home and face questions from my family, I decided to go to the movies instead. I watched John Wick, and honestly, it gave me the courage to quit. I currently work at another place that hasn't once make me feel like shit.
Notice the lament of OP typing dammit in the edit comments after his sentimental question was sabotaged by a terrible movie with subtitles from a terrible country.
If you're going through psychological or anxiety troubles, please consider undergoing qualified therapy. Movie therapy is, with the obvious exception of Paul Blart Mall Cop, regarded inefficient.

ITT Paul Blart: Mall Cop is the only correct answer.
I hated all of you. I was expecting real, actual answers. All I saw was Paul Blart: Mall Cop. Then my mom came home with a new laptop with Paul Blart: Mall Cop permanently burned on the hard drive, and forced me to watch it. Even though my eye lids were stapled open, I thoroughly enjoyed the movie, and it lifted my spirits!
The Secret Life of Walter Mitty - this helped me after my breakup with my partner of 6 years. Really made me feel like not giving up, that being alone wasn't such a bad thing.

The Shawshank Redemption helped when I was going through a breakup. Because yeah I got cheated on. But at least I didn't grt cheated on AND falsely accused of murdering the guy who cheated on me and send to prison for life! Could be worse folks.
During the Gezi Park protests last year, no one was certain what was going to happen. There was a profound sense that in some way we could change the political climate in Turkey, and maybe move the dialogue to a place that was more productive in securing the safety of free speech and right to assemble. But the movement fizzled in many ways, and in the end everyone was left with a malaise as we tried to figure out what we would do given that the biggest concentration of political energy in the past 10 years had died out quietly, and the government had ceded nothing to the protestors. In this moment of darkness I watched Paul Blart Mall cop at the Rexx theatre in Kadikoy and I started to feel a lot better about the political state of affairs in Turkey.
At first I was going to say Stephen King's It, because it made me feel like I could have HAD a really bad day and still not be as fucked up as getting chased by Tim Curry. But I couldn't resist staying away from my true love of Paul Blart: Mall Cop. Kevin James makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside.
No one is going to understand this but The Exorcism of Emily Rose. There is the scene where she is dreaming and she asks God to remove the demons from her. He says the demons will stay where they are but he can take her soul now to end her suffering. She chooses to live a little while longer though in order to help other people even though she is suffering greatly.
I walked into a screening of "Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind" ...sat down and was waiting for my fiancee to show the fuck up when it started. Halfway through the movie I was so into it I didn't realize my Nokia was going crazy. I looked down and it was a text message basically dumping me and ending everything out of nowhere. I watched the rest of the movie and walked out of there feeling like I would probably survive and I did and he's now married to a cross eyed girl with a weird looking baby.
I was going to say Paul Blart Mall Cop. But then I realised this movie has not just helped me get through some tough times, but also the good times also.

Movies are the only best thing that happened to me. For me, I feel like, I could watch The Departed in any mood.
But I would really suggest Rocky, Big Fish, Life is Beautiful, Never Back Down, Pursuit of Happiness, Remember the Titans, Miracle or for this time of year... It's a Wonderful Life.
Edit: If you're feeling down DO NOT watch Life Is Beautiful. I repeat DO NOT WATCH LIFE IS BEAUTIFUL.

sounds dumb as fuck, but that meh Sweeney Todd movie got me through my uncle's death. Christmas morning we get the call that he dies in police custody. Everyone in the family is together and just fucking losing it. I had no idea what to do and my mom just told me to get out of the house. The only thing I could think to do was see a movie and that was the first one playing when I got there. Not that great of a movie, but it stopped me from thinking about my uncle for a few hours. Thanks Johnny Depp.
*Edit: Sorry I was thinking of Paul Blart Mall Cop

Good Will Hunting - The scene where Robin Williams is talking about how he missed the Red Sox play in the sixth game of the World Series because his future wife walked in the room...and how he didn't regret missing the game or giving up his job to be with her the years she was sick..."Youโll have bad times, but itโll always wake you up to the good stuff you werenโt paying attention to."
When you think of the all-time great comedies, you might think of the master works by the Marx Brothers, Charlie Chaplin, the guys who made "Airplane", etc.
But it has occurred to me recently that we have an underrated piece of artistic brilliance that not only matches these classic pieces of art, but it exceeds it in ways that I has previously only imagined possible in my wettest of dreams; a movie which will no doubt be remembered fondly for centuries to come. I am, of course, talking about the comedic masterpiece that is "Paul Blart: Mall Cop".
With the year coming to an end and AP tests approaching, I've been really anxious. There's pressure from everyone to do well. I know I'll face greater struggles in the future, but it's hard to stay motivated. Honestly, the one thing that's getting me through this is the blissful memory of Paul Blart: Mall Cop. Remember when he Paul ate that dirty lollipop off the floor just to save his friends? It's the little things about this movie that just get to me. Can't wait to see Mall Cop II after exams are over. Paul Blart could not have been any more helpful.

I can honestly say that when I saw Paul Blart: Mall Cop for the first time it changed my life. In recent years I had been falling into a deep depression, then like a ray of sunlight, Paul Blart: Mall Cop 2 was released, and just like the first time, it gave me a new perspective on the world. I had experienced a sense of child-like wonder that I had previously thought I could never feel again.
Battle: Los Angeles, = Most inspirational piece of shit ever, helped bring out the inner me when I wanted to be the utter shit that is my brothers hell.
In all seriousness It's Kind of a Funny Story is a really good movie that helped me when I was going through a tough time. Zach Galifianakis was awesome in that movie.
Not a movie but the TV show Everybody Loves Raymond helped through a very rough time when I was suffering from severe panic attacks and horrible anxiety. I was in the ER one night because of a panic attack and the show happened to be on tv. Just something about it made me zone out and forget about all the hell I was going through. I ended going out and buying all the whole series and it's something I watch when I'm not doing well. I honestly don't know what I would have done without it.
I was on the international space station when there was a CO2 rupture, the station started filling with Co2 that was going to be recycled and converted to water. But things went to shit and me and my fellow astronauts were going to die. We had less than 131 minutes of air remaining so we decided to watch a film that was exactly 132 minutes long. The only one that came up in a google search was Paul Blart mall cop. After the 132 minutes were up we felt so happy, a joyous feeling overcame our loins. The oxygen had been replenished and the co2 scrubbers repaired. Thanks Paul Blart, you saved the international space station, and the lives of three lonely astronauts. God bless you

I love that one with Kevin James in it. Can never remember the name.
After my dog died I was out of it for a bit. I watched the Mall Cop film and it was honestly the first time I had laughed in weeks. I went to the shelter and picked out two new friends, naming them Paul Blart & Paul Blart 2.

Once, I was homeless, and stranded in the middle of a bone-dry desert. I had nowhere to go, and nothing but a television. Suddenly, I tripped across a DVD. I put it into the television, which then began to play Paul Blart: Mall Cop. I then was knocked over by a vehicle of some sort. I peered up into Kevin James' mustache, and was whisked away into another dimension.

I haven't read through any of these so I'm sure it's been mentioned but The Seventh Seal. I don't know why, I don't care much about the meaning of anything but playing chess with death somehow meant something to me.
Here at college, whenever finals week is kicking our butts, we just watch Paul Blart Mall Cop instead of studying. Our test scores have gone up 75% since 2009.
I want there to be at least one semi-serious answer here. The last time I was in the hospital, the only thing on the TV aside from golf was back-to-back showings of 'Best of The Johnny Carson Show' and 'Best of The Carol Burnett Show'.
Fucking hilarious stuff. If you're too young to have seen the best parts of those shows, you should. Especially Carol Burnett. Harvey Korman and Tim Conway are comedy geniuses, I shit you not. Siamese elephants, dude. If you can watch that clip and not laugh, you have no soul.
I must have watched those two shows a dozen times during my hospital stay. It never got old.

Forgetting Sarah Marshall: I went through the same deal as the main character- having your heart broken, seeing your ex with another man, and coming through the other side better than ever.
I dunno why, but I went though this weird time in my life when I was 22 and on my own barely making ends meet. I was going to school/work distanced myself from everyone and every night when I went home I would watch Shallow Hal for a month straight.
The Big Chill. I laughed, I cried, I sang along to the amazing soundtrack. All of the actors, In my opinion, did such an amazing job. The emotion, and their chemistry together felt real, as if these weren't actors that I was watching, but real people, real friends, expressing true emotions, trying to make sense of their tragedy, together. Watching these people deal with loss, grief, regret, betrayal, love, and SO many other emotions and situations really spoke to me. The first time I saw it, I was dealing with a similar tragedy. The fact that the film really has no climax, and that nothing is really resolved in the end, didn't even matter to me. I was left with a strong sense of contentment because, out of a great tragedy, seven estranged friends were brought back together, and renewed their once dear friendships. It was so true to real life, and to what was happening in my life at the time. It really struck home with me. I think that anyone, of any generation, can relate to this film.
I'm drunk enough to think someone might see this actual answer:
Cashback
I had been broken up with for the first time and this movie kept my attention long enough and calmed me just enough to help me fall asleep every night, instead of laying in bed awake and thinking about that beautiful five month fling I had just had and wondering why it didn't work out.
Sometimes you don't need something to make you think, you just need something to help you sleep.

My friend Jenny recently went through a tough readjustment period when finding out her kid didn't have autism...Paul Blart Mall Cop really helped her pull through and learn to laugh again
Honestly, I suffer from depression. I've had issues with it for about 11 years now.
The movie that helped me the most, and helps put me in a good place mentally and emotionally is Last Holiday with Queen Latifah.
WARNING: Probably some spoiling below.
She finds out that she may be dying of a brain tumor amd decides to cash in her life savings and treat herself to a wonderful vacation. She goes to a wonderful, luxurious hotel in, I beleive, Switzerland and treats herself to the works. Skiing, massages, everything. All because she thinks it's all going to end. That sort of freedom to enjoy what little bit of life she had left is what does it for me. It's a very positive thing for me. Makes me happy.
So, yeah... Last Holiday is the movie that helped/helps me through a rough time.
I discovered Wristcutters shortly after I graduated from high school and my only long-term relationship at the time came to an abrupt and jarring close. Wound up watching it with a ladyfriend and it started the best relationship I'd ever had. That relationship ended a few years back, but I still look back on it with no regrets.
When I was 6, my dad went to prison for a couple years. I watched The Great Escape, and somehow 6-year-old me found some solace that my pops (a USAF navigator and former Marine) always had hope to get out. My dad also used to draw me these photorealistic pictures of WWII warplanes on envelopes and mailed them to me, and he did them all from memory. My favorites were the ones he did of a Stuka and an SBD Dauntless. He also drew these cute comics of a C130 named "Herkie" coming back from deployment and going to his home field for some much-needed rest. Took me a few years to realize he was "Herkie" and that he was finding a way to communicate just how much he missed his family.

Jerry Maguire. When all is going down the toilet, and all seems lost... it just turns out worse again... but a heartfelt determination to overcome the situation and to be the best you want and can be turns things around.
I've seen it several times, cried a few on my low days, and always always helped me up.
Avoid Nicholas Sparks movies... you'll want to commit suicide after that... :p
When I was 19 I got kicked out of college for masturbating in the dining hall kitchen. This led to my girlfriend leaving me for a 62-year-old sea monkey enthusiast. As I'm sure can imagine, my confidence was shattered. My life suddenly lost all sense of direction and I was so certain things couldn't get any worse. Well, in my case the devil rang three times. I was soon diagnosed with cancer of the penis tip.
I was broken.
I remember this day very vividly. I was laying on the hard, uncomfortable hospital bed in a room painted a nauseating shade of pink. The large, sunset-facing window was open, and while this allowed for the gentle spring breeze to roll in it also allowed the grating cacophony of furious cat mating to pierce my ears. But none of this could distract me from the looming spectre of dicklessness.
The nurse came in. She was a pretty little number. Not that I'd ever be able to try to do something about it after my scheduled surgery. After she switched out my filthy bedpan and soiled loins she stopped and looked me dead in the eyes. I looked back, trying to speak, trying to tell her how terrified I was, but in my heavily drugged condition I could only muster a pathetic whimper.
She turned away, reached up to the TV, turned on TBS without even asking me what I would've liked to watch and left. Now I am certain that God must have had a plan for me, because the minute I looked up and saw Kevin James' Segway-riding portly man-shape grace that screen, My outlook changed.
The movie itself was alright. Not great. Not even decent. Just alright.
And at that moment I knew that I'd be alright too.
So I had the surgery. But yesterday I watched Paul Blart 2 and it made my penis grow back.
Oh nurrrrse!!!!!

TIL Paul Blart: Mall Cop affected Roger Ebert so much, he walked out of his next scheduled screening. "It was the first time I've ever walked out of a film because of the previous film. The way I was feeling in my gut, it just wouldn't have been fair to the next film."
I kind of want to keep this one close to my chest because it brings up memories from a challenging time in my life, but if it'll help a fellow redditor... Paul Blart Mall Cop is a cathartic experience.
Fight Club. Inspired me to read the book (I hate to be one those guys but, WAY better!).
I am not special.
I don't deserve happiness.
Everyone you love will either reject you or die.
This really grounded me. Took away all those stupid ideas that "Life isn't fair!" and "Why me?". What makes me think happiness should just be handed to me? Hitting rock bottom is actually a good thing.
When I was detoxing from pain killers after surgery treatment, I don't know why but Wing Commander help me just mindlessly watch as I was semi comatose.
EDIT: Oh shit, I thought one thing and typed another. I meant Paul Blart Mall Cop. Mindless humor that cheered me up when I was feeling crappy. Thanks Kevin James.
I was going through an extremely difficult breakup and lost my job 2 weeks after my relationship ended. I wanted to cheer up, so I tried finding wisdom and advice via the internet. Even spent some time reading Cosmo ;). Finally, I came across.....oh..fuck it...watch this..

I am an Indian, born and brought up in India. I was preparing myself for a life in the West. I watched Paul Blart the Mall Cop and was granted US citizeship on landing at the airport. I don't even have to apply for immigration.
Life hack : had a Paul Blart DVD on me when landing.
There are 2... Silver Linings Playbook and Eat Pray Love. And if I'm just feeling a bit...bleugh!... anything with Javier Bardem in it will cure that! ;-)
My girlfriend was murdered and one of my best friends died in an unrelated incident within a month of each other when I was 15 and that put me in enough of a state, I think, to respond to Blade Runner's existentialism and rainy mood fully as I watched it for the first time then. It really calmed me down at a point where I felt ready to burst.
Blade Runner is now my favorite movie.
EDIT: Oh my fucking god, I typed this down before I read the rest of the thread and now I feel obliged to redact my statement and replace it will Paul Blart: Mall Cop, fuck my dead friends.

Well I'm going though a tough time, more like my best friend, last week I was planning on visiting her but had no gas, so I texted her I'll see her tomorrow but she didn't reply, I called... No answer everytime, got worried. I visit her place, no one home... Been a few days wondering what happened to her, every kind of communication didn't work left her a message, I was a nervous wreck... Until I get a phone call, it was her, she check into a place where if you're going to hurt yourself that's where they take you, turns out that day I was going to visit, she was going to harm herself so she call a crisis hotline and she went there... Had a bad time there not going into detail but the next place they took her was better, she got my message, crying saying she was sorry, I didn't care I was glad she was OK, we told each other I love you as a friend mind you, she had to go but said she would call me tomorrow. Afterwards I was full of emotions, happy and crying so I watch interstellar and feeling seeing love ones after so long, Matthew McConaughey capture that moment so much tears came out of me...I'm calm now but In the end after watching the movie I wish I could yell at myself a week ago to stay with her and tell her I'm always there for you, always.
The show and the movie Neon Genesis Evangelion. Its in-depth exploration of life and the mind of a scared boy made me go back to school at age 23 and make an honest attempt at getting the social life I never had. After a month or two I thought I had once again failed but when a classmate fell ill and was put into a psych ward I felt like this was my cue. If I was supposed to be this great guy, this was my chance to show it. I reached out and started e-mailing to her and slowly we learned to trust eachother and eventualy that led to us becoming a couple - my first girlfriend. I finished school with perfect grades.
I would like to say everything beyond that was happy ever after but far from it. I've failed university studies a lot, I've tried to take my own life and lots of girlfriends have walked out the door but I'm still here and in a relationship of 5 years now. You just keep going towards becoming a better person in whatever way seems right.
I love watching the humans kick blue monkey ass! Something about invading someone else's land and exploiting them of their resources gives me a hard on.
I hate the ending though.

There's a documentary that was released in 2011 called "Life in a Day". Basically, there is ONE day that people were asked to record their lives. They compiled footage to create the documentary, and it's literally one of the most moving things I've ever seen.

During rough hangovers I toss the blackout curtains over and Casablanca on. Fantastic dialogue, obviously no bright colors and no overt action scenes. Clerks fulfills this role sometimes.
"The Fall" by Tarsem Singh. I connect with many emotions in this film. Seeing a broken man in a hospital, his visually exciting stories, him taking advantage of the only friend he has in the moment, and a happy/sad ending.
Not me, but my cousin. Her cat had just died of Hyper AIDs and she was crying constantly. I went to visit her one day and she was watching Paul Blart Mall Cop and she's forgotten about that cat ever since.
Life as a House. When I saw this film my parents had been divorced for a few years. I never delt with things in my childhood nor with what happened as my parents marriage fell apart. After this movie I lost it, emotionally. Great film tho.
For me, Charlie Bartlett. Hands down. First time watching it....I didn't expect it to go the way it did. But then I bought it on DVD, watched it a few more times and actually liked the story. Teenager tries to fit into the school he attends but then is always thrown out...kind of a loner and weird kid. But then finally gets his place at a school where he is the student body psychologist...falls for the principal's daughter and gets into some trouble with the school and law. Just all around great story for anyone who hasn't seen it and knows the pain of fitting in somewhere new or well just anywhere...
Damn, I watched a movie recently, can't remember the name. A brave hero rides his trusty moped, protecting a bunch of stores? Really moving. I called my Grandma and told my son I love him for the first time. If only I knew the name.
The first 2/3rds of What Dreams May Come with Robert Williams. After that, the movie gets really off-tilt IMO. The bright imagery of stuff like doggie-heaven helped me cope with losses during angst teen years.
It could have ended up being really depressing with people posting lots of Robin Williams movies.

Not a movie, but: moe anime. Basically just cute girls doing cute things -- I haven't seen any Western equivalent to this.
My favourite in this regard is Tamayura, since it comes with a sad backstory, but the entire anime is uplifting and really positive and optimistic.
Another brilliant one is Hidamari Sketch. The original manga on which the anime is based has been translated as "Sunshine Sketch" and the series definitely lives up to its name.
And finally my other favourite: Kiniro Mosaic. It's light-hearted, silly, funny, extremely entertaining and it's almost like the original creator had a stone-cast rule, "no sadness allowed, only happiness", when creating the series.
There are others, but that's a good start, I think. :)
This was my hangover viewing for years, straight out of high school wherever my buddies and I ended up I always had a video of this in my bag and it was the perfect post bacon sandwich viewing to ease into the day.
I just recently had a very very gruesome two weeks at work and was feeling drained and a little fragile. I was mousing around, as you do, and came across this gem on Vimeo. It's short, and for some reason just really resonated with me. It made me feel a lot better and just reset my clock in a good way. I hope it does the same for someone here.
Alright, I'll give it a go with a serious answer. I went through a rough breakup with my first really serious girlfriend right after high school. It was the first relationship I ever had where "I love you" was openly spoken to one another, so it was a pretty big emotional investment, but looking back now I know I wasn't ready for that kind of emotional intimacy. I was really head over heels for this girl, almost to the point of unhealthiness, because my happiness was almost completely dependent upon her and my security in her love for me. It was young, stupid love. But when it was time for her to go off to college, she began to get distant and it became clear that she didn't know what she wanted anymore but I knew she didn't want me. The breakup was inevitable, and it was hard. The morning after she broke up with me, I woke up in a daze, wondering if the previous night was real or not. Then I turned on the TV and started watching a movie called "500 Days of Summer".
Needless to say, I identified with Tom. At that moment in my life, I was Tom. And by the time the credits rolled I had a completely different perspective on my own situation. And eventually, I found my "Autumn", and she's so much better. I cannot recommend that film enough to anyone who's going through a rough breakup.
The pursuit of happiness. I'm in a financial slump right now, have been since I was born, but whenever I watch that movie, I get so pumped up and motivated that one day, something good might come to my family like that It really makes me want to work harder and harder.
Surprisingly enough it was Guardians of the Galaxy. I saw it late with a friend and my so while depressed. Hearing the " no thing's a matter with ya" at the beginning helped a ton. That song is now my happy anthem. Edit: um I meant to say Mall Cop...I guess...
The spiraling out of Sharon Stone's character is brilliantly played. And some of my great uncles actually knew Sam Rothstein (very casual acquaintances, they just knew him from weddings and bar mitzvahs). Everybody had an idea of what he was up to, but didn't know the details until much later.
Pixar's "Up". It starts with a hero losing everything, but ending is amazing.

If I am ever depressed because I am feeling lonely, I watch Cast Away with Tom Hanks. It always reminds me that no matter how lonely I feel or how much I might miss someone I love, it could be a lot fucking worse. I always feel better, or at least gain a perspective so I am not throwing a pity party.
Not too long ago I went to the doctor and discovered that I had a CLOT in the LUMBAR region of my spine. The doctor had no clue how to fix it, and sent me to a specialist. I was expecting the specialist to tell me that I needed surgery, but he instead gave me a very different response. He told me that only one thing could fix my problem. Step 1 was I needed a PAL of mine to sit on my LAP. The rest of the answer was in the problem itself.
I walked out of there more confused than ever, before finally returning a week later. He repeated the same thing to me, but this time wrote down some notes for me to remember his instruction. He simply wrote PAL, LAP, LUMBAR and CLOT. After staring at the paper for about 20 minutes, it became clear what I needed to do...
The Princess Bride. When my son was stillborn, I was a mess. Watching The Princess Bride distracted me. Watching Finding Nemo with my niece helped too. You just can't go wrong with Dory.
I got fired and my 'friends' invited me over to their house to watch a movie. 'Up in the Air'. For those who haven't seen it, it's about professional 'firing ppl'. Not a good movie for my time. Would not recommend.
Pixar's Cars. Seriously. Ihad always been a huge car guy. Then I had a pretty big car crash soon after I got my learner's. Long story short my dad was airlifted to the trauma center and wass in coma for 3 days. I was traumatized, forgot completely about cars for 2 months and never wanted to drive again. Then I saw that movie and it brought back memories of my childhood, going to the races with my father, shopping for hot wheels, building model cars and bugging the local stock car racer as soon as he'd try to get work done on his car. I got in the car right after the rolling credits and drove aimlessly for an hour or two. I was 16 at the time.
i won't lie, i was never huge into cars like my dad or little brother have been (dad's always been a hobbyist and my brother's an ASE-certified mechanic), but i completely bonded with the both of them when we went to see cars in theaters and i love working on them with the both of them since then lol
6 was much better. the white booty was much more phat ass.

Swingers with Vince Vaughn got me through a rough break up. I fully identified with Mikey and the struggle he was going through. I must have rented it about 7 times until the guy at Blockbuster told me to just buy the damn thing. So I did. Years later still a great movie
The Razor's Edge (1984) Bill Murray. Based on the W. Somerset Maugam novel of the same name. It was panned during its release but it touches me every time.
Joe vs the Volcano (1990) Tom Hanks Helps you appreciate the good times in life.

I was being bullied day after day. I was called fat, ugly, names that hurt to this day. I tried everything to stop them, reporting them, police, nothing was worked. Until I saw Paul Blart Mall Cop on the movie network. Paul Blart showed me something. It was something bout his go get em attitude that made a switch go off. The next day the bully is getting ready for my beat down, when I handed him a pair of boxing gloves. "What are you doing?" "Safety never takes a holiday" the bully stood there in pure confusion. He left and never bothered me again. I was a hero to the school and when they asked me about my unorthodox strategy all I could say was "The mind is the only weapon that doesn't need a holster"
"Bridesmaids," not joking. I was 30 and going through a divorce, broke, feeling like shit. It made me laugh, and to see the main character go through shit as well but still end up okay gave me hope.

Once in my first year of college I got dumped by this girl, she was literally the woman of my dreams. I was devastated. I went home and my roommate was watching Paul Blart Mall Cop. A few beers and a bundle of laughs later, we went to her house and burned it down.
Life felt good again. :)
I think Frozen helped me through a tough time, I was in a bad place and my niece would watch it like 3 times a day and the overcoming your self doubts and stuff kinda made me think about things in a different way.
I was about to jump off a 30 story building. I bent my knees and leaned forward when my friend yelled "WAIT!" I looked behind me and saw my friend had wheeled in a TV and VCR. He hit play. All it took was that scene where Paul Blart put the hello kitty bandage on to get me off that building and into safety. I never thought about suicide after that.
The Passengers. I don't know what happens when we die, but there was something about this movie that was just so beautiful to me. I didn't know anything about the movie when I saw it and was deep in the grieving process. It helped.

Forgetting Sarah Marshall. My long-term gf had just broken up with me, and my best friend had also just moved away. I was going through a really tough time. I watched this movie a bunch of times and it really helped show me that things get better. And it was hilarious.
Earlier this year I went through a pretty bad heartbreak. One of the, "it's complicated", "we're not really a thing", "get away from me you weirdo" sort of relationships. I spent hours watching all kinds of movies on Netflix, Horror movies, Funny movies, Documentaries about dying children in impoverished countries. They all left me feeling numb. Except for one movie; Paul Blart Mall Cop. If it weren't for that movie, I wouldn't be here today.

This is actually ridiculous guys...I've been having a really rough time latley (depressed, dog of 12 years died, horrible syphilis) and I really just wanted a lighthearted film to watch to brighten my shitty day a little. And I get this shit.
EDIT: GUYS I ACTUALLY JUST WATCHED PAUL BLART AND I AM SO FUCKING SORRY! That was legitimately the greatest and most life changing piece of art I have ever had the immense pleasure of viewing. I vow never again to make snap judgments like that again without any knowlege to back my view up. My dog came back to life and dug itself out of its grave when it heard kevin james sweet voice, my depression instantly turned into euphoria and my dick stopped leaking! That was more than a movie...paul blart is a way of life and is sure to be a contemperary classic.

Both Waynes World movies have perked me up many times over the years. They've both aged pretty well and as an avid rock fan, the humour still.holds up. It is endlessly quotable and if I may admit a guilty secret: Garth Algar was one of my very first movie crushes.
Honorable mentions go to the first Spongebob movie and Lost In Translation.
Actually, most Bill Murray movies are fantastic. One of my favourites is one of his earlier roles playing Hunter S Thompson in a film called Gonzo. Not quite as bizarre as Fear and Loathing In Las Vegas but still pretty damn good.
I usually choose one of the greats you know? Like Scarface, Pulp fiction, Paul Blart Mall Cop, Shawshank Redemption, or maybe Star Wars if I'm in the mood
These young kids today, inspired by some dumb movie about some fat guy working as a security guard. I reached adulthood in the 80's. My greatest hardships happened smack in the middle of the Reagan era. And what got me through it all was John Candy in Armed and Dangerous.
Discovering Louis C.K. helped me through cancer. I swear that guy was about all I could laugh at during those times. I've been a lifelong fan ever since.
About 3 months ago, doctors discovered a tumor the size of a baby seal attached to my brain. After watching Paul Blart Mall Cop, it disappeared; doctor's were baffled. Praise Paul!

I was in a low point of my life. I had gotten evicted from my apartment and was kicked out onto the streets. I wasn't eating very much and tended to doze off. In a dream, Jesus came to me and told me to watch Paul Blart: Mall Cop. My whole life's been turned around since that point and I can't thank Kevin James enough.

I just want to make a PSA. Paul Blart Mall Cop is actually a pretty mediocre movie. Don't watch it, it's a waste of time. These people reccommending it are just trying to troll you.
Crimes and Misdemeanors, Hannah and Her Sisters, Sweet and Lowdown... Actually, I'll just say pretty much everything by Woody Allen. His work has meant so much to me.
Other films that have filled that empty space over the years include Last Tango in Paris, Sideways, Ferris Bueller's Day Off (my coming of age flick), Million Dollar Baby, Half Nelson, Wendy and Lucy....
We Jam Econo: The Story of the Minutemen is a doc I watch when I need to feel better about the world.
This comment will probably get buried, and it's a shame because I don't think many people even know this movie exists, but Paul Blart Mall Cop is a film that will change your life.
My dad was telling me about how when his depression was getting really bad going to watch Shrek in the cinema with younger me and my sister helped him a lot. Something about how the film making him laugh made him forget all about his depression.

Gravity. Much of the story was generic and wasn't as good as it was hyped up to be for me personally. But...I really connected to the rebirth concept especially at the ending.

Zero Day.
For some reason 2 kids talking about blowing people up because something needs to change resonated with me. There's a part in the movie where they're just talking to the camera, making some sort of confessional tape. Hearing about how futile life really is, calms me right the fuck down.
When my ex first moved out I went to the movie theater every night, at least ten times, just so I wouldn't be alone, and watched Pride and Prejudice. It wasn't so much the schmoopy content of the movie that got me through, although that didn't hurt, it was more the completely different time and place.

Music, it always seems to take me to another place
Guys the Paul Blart Mall Cop stuff is seriously not funny anymore. This weekend I was feeling really down so I watched Paul Blart Mall Cop 2. Really Kevin James and his segway are a godsend.
After the back-to-back deaths of my parents, the movie "Defending Your Life" helped both distract me and warmed my heart as well.
And when life in general kind of gets me down, I watch Akira Kurasowa's "Ikiru", its a movie that allows me to wallow in my sadness and yet be uplifting at the same time.
Up In The Air made me feel better weirdly when I was very upset. 500 Days of Summer helped me over the course of a break up!

Recently, Tracks. It's about a young woman that crosses the arid deserts of Australia with only three camels (that she earned and trained) and her dog. Good shit.
Recently all my close family died in a car crash. I was so devastated that I could hardly move. I hardly ate anything and spent all day lying in bed. That was until a friend came over, and we watched "Der Kaufhaus Cop". I feel like a new human being, and I can smile again. Proof:
Before I saw it I felt so trapped in my life. After, I quit my job (a very good paying job) and moved to Asia to teach English. That was 3 years ago. Now I live in Australia and I've traveled more countries than I ever thought I would.
5 centimeters per second. Still crying, I think. It's a gorgeous anime (actual shot, not prerendered) about 1h30 long, there is a really slow part in the middle but it's all worth it in the end. I cried all my tears, and I didn't feel like I had any relationship to grief on.
Don't let the anime tag scare you, you'll miss out.

Any movie that creates a nostalgia for you.. a movie from when you were in a better place. For me Harold and Kumar go to white castle always makes me happy
A few years ago when I was depressed, I used to watch Reservoir Dog over and over. I tried to memorize all the scenes. I helped me to momentarily have something to focus on.
A few years ago, I was very depressed and somewhat suicidal. During that time, near the end of it, I watched Scott Pilgrim vs the world every single night for 2 months. I have no idea why, it just made it easier to get some sleep. Dead Poets Society was also particularly fantastic during that time but i only watched it once as I didn't want to ruin it.
The Perks of Being a Wallflower. I never related to a character so much like I related to Charlie. The movie (and book) helped me throughout high school.

I have a severe case of Parkinsons and I was struggling. Whenever I shook people would look at me, that was until paul blart mall cop arrived in the cinemas. After that everyone shook. I don feel different anymore! :-)
I remember in 8th grade I was extremely depressed-being the weird kid in the classroom-at not having a girlfriend. I thought the problems I faced were unique to me only.
Anyhow, I watched Eternal Sunshine of a Spotless Mind-which, to this day, I still consider my favorite movie.

What is the best movie of all time and why is it Paul Blart Mall Cop?
It's a Wonderful Life for me. Whenever I'm feeling down (which is usually in the Winter thanks to seasonal affective disorder) I watch this movie and the ending always nearly makes me cry. Everybody should watch this movei.
It's a stupid, stupid movie, but "Yes Man" with Jim Carey is my go to when life kicks me in the balls.
The message is undeniable: Say Yes to more things in your life and quit making excuses to say No.
You're going to have some good experiences, some bad ones, and sometimes you're just going to feel awkward for half an hour (free salsa lesson, anyone?) until you relax and start having fun.
Paul Blart: Mall Cop came to me in a dark part of my life. I was in a ska band, which is an omen within itself and my obesity was reaching a high point. Because of the ska band, I decided to wear fedoras and grow a goatee. The charming story of this diabetes-afflicted superhero inspired me to quit my negative lifestlye (that can only be described by people in ska bands) and start a juggling segway troop that helped me throw my life together

Pretty much Any movie can Up my bring my mood up. I realLy like the Bee movie because it brought my mood up when I was Living in SpAin for 3 yeaRs. AnoTher one of My favorites hAs got to be either InterstelLar or the Land before time, because those are Classics. But Id have tO say my favorite is Probably Jupiter Ascending because of how terrible it is.

Spirited Away helped me cope with the death of my grandmother
Whenever I feel depressed or alone I watch the original cosmos series. Something about them just calms me and makes me feel not alone, which is kind of ironic since it's about space and how tiny and brief we are.
I've dealt with depression since high school, but I was really bad this winter. I didn't really feel anything anymore. There's a character in the movie that's also depressed, and the protagonist asks him about it in his blunt sort of way. I'm paraphrasing here, but:
How long have you felt like this?
Since I was about your age, I suppose.
What does it feel like?
Like being underwater.
Is that why you became a marine biologist?
Maybe, yeah.
Does mom mind?
What, that I'm a marine biologist?
That you're underwater.
When I first saw that scene I just broke down sobbing. It seemed like I hadn't felt any emotions in months and then this minute of screentime just completely overwhelmed me. It was an actor, I know, but I felt so... understood? And the matter-of-fact way it was discussed made it all the more like my experiences talking about it with family.
I paused the movie and cried for a long time. Then I texted my entire family and told them I loved them. It's hard, appreciating the people that care about you, when you don't care for yourself at all. But I felt such a fierce love for them that day. And I felt loved in return.
Things started looking up after that point.

Best in Show for when you are feeling sad & lonely
"What Dreams May Come" kept me from killing myself because the idea of hell for suicides that featured in that movie: living an eternity in the same hopeless despair I was trying to escape.
I was going to say Walter Mitty, but then I remembered that scene where he segues his way across America was just a dream... just a wonderful, wonderful dream...
Garden State is always a good one, definitely makes you reflect and appreciate the little things. That and I now was to stand on an excavator overlooking a mine and scream as loudly as possible when life seems too much to handle.

I'm sure someone's already said it bc I'm late to the game but Forgetting Sarah Marshall has been huge helping me deal with divorce.
I'm not quite sure what that says about me, though.
The Secret life of Walter Mitty, I find that this is one of the best movies of ben stiller. The soundtrack and the theme just made me feel like getting my ass up and just doing something, taking a risk or embark in an adventure that adventure could simply be talking a walk or saying hi to someone you haven't met in a long time.
Pink Floyd's the wall. I know it seems dark but the music is calming and it just gets my kind off of things. It also shows that things can be much much worse.
Can someone explain to me why Paul Blart is apparently such an inspirational movie? I saw it and it didn't really an impression on me.

Not a movie, but a song, and I wouldn't really say it helped me through it, but more spoke to me.
The Neighbourhood - Afraid
I was listening to it once and the next day my girlfriend broke up with me for her ex, literally bringing the lyrics "I'm afraid somebody else might take my place" to life.
Bear with me-
The monologue he gives at the end talking about divorce & family moves me to tears now. My parents are [happily {is anyone}] married - but I didn't get the concept of why people couples split before I saw this movie.
I'll be honest, despite the rest of this thread. "Her" was a fantastic movie that seemed to reinvigorate my desire to love. I was really messed up after a few bad relationships and hook ups gone terribly. I had kind of given up on the dating scene at that point. That movie really made me see my relationships were, a part of who I was in the past. Fantastic movie even without my emotional state. I still watch it occasionally just because it's so damn good.
When Hurricane Ike hit Texas, the only thing we had left to entertain ourselves with was a generator and a copy of The Love Guru. I watched it at least 8 times a day until the power came back on. It's still my favorite movie.
Kaze no Tani no Nausicaa. I was a teenager, and pretty pissed off at everything, including myself... Especially myself. And then I saw this film. First, I was sucked in by the imagination needed to make the world it takes place in, but then the main character just kind of stuck with me. I adopted the character's outlook as a sort of mantra. I wanted to try to be good, even knowing that being good is rarely rewarded and even sometimes punished.

Anything with Tera Patrick helped me through my many years as a virgin.
Mine is Prisoner of Second Avenue. Jack Lemmon going through insomnia and depression really hit home and has been my go-to at least once a week for the past six months.
Zorba the Greek is the one film that can bring me out of a funk every time. Like most of us, I feel caught between the character of Alexis Zorba and Basil โliving totally in the now vs. living in the past or futureโ but in the end Basil discovers the beauty and fun and living found only in the moment, thereby proving there is an inscrutably inexorable victory inherent in Zorba's method as well. The closing scene of the film says it all, though one should watch the whole thing to know what it means. Link to the final syrtaki scene.
"Dance?! Did you say...dance?!...Boss...I have so much to tell you. I never love a man the way I love you."
P.S. I love you. - I think it helped my wife more than it helped me, but I will admit it gave me some good perspective... Backstory, my wife was a widow, I was good friends with her husband and after his death, we started hanging out, next thing you know, we fell in love. We will celebrate our 4th anniversary in May. My wife, her best friend, and I went to see that movie in the theater, knowing what it was all about, we took a lot of Kleenex with us.

500 Days of Summer. I gave up everything including life after the break up, I thought I'll never be happy again. My best friend suggested the movie and it opened my eyes, gave me hope.

I was struggling with depression back in high school, so I invited a few friends over, opened up a bag of chips, and watched Paul Blart: Mall Cop. Good times were had by all.

I would say Paul Blart Mall Cop but I think someone already said that. Paul Blart Mall Cop 2 was really good though, always puts me in a good mood.
I was having routine surgery a few years ago to remove a lump they found in my breast. Thank god the biopsy came back benign, but unfortunately I suffered a rare complication in the surgery - the anaesthetist fucked up and damaged my vocal cords inserting the breathing tube.
I completely lost my voice, could only let out a rasping whisper. For the most part I got by, learned to adapt, although drive-throughs were always a stark reminder of the anaesthetist's basic error that had cost me my voice. One day, after struggling to shout out my mcdonalds order, I went home and picked out a DVD from the shelf. It was one I'd bought a while back, but never got round to watching - Paul Blart: Mall Cop.
I put it on, and what do you know, in the first few minutes it made me laugh which turned into a choking splutter. Thirty minutes in and I started to get some noise coming out with the giggles. Right when the movie reached it's peak, I couldn't hold it in anymore, a shriek escaped my lips followed by deep rumbling laughter. I was cured! I had my voice back!
The doctors can't explain how it happened, but I don't care about the details. All I know is that Kevin James turned my life around
Liytle Miss Sunshine. It happened right as my parents divorce was rearing it's head around the corner, so times were tough then. That movie showed me the spirit of zen and how I need to slow down and appreciate the shotty things in life.
Endless sunshine of the spotless mind. Watched it days after a break up from a ten year relationship. It hurt, but woke me up and gave me perspective.

Guardians of the Galaxy. Been on a bad spree of hating on comic book films. Seemed like a gimmick Hollywood was whoring out so I just stopped watching them. Saw this gem over Christmas and was just blown away. Pretty sure I was depressed at the time and that movie just made me smile. Watched it 4 times in two days. Thank you everyone that was involved in that film, it really had a positive effect that changed my outlook on shit and I don't even know how.

I had actually never been to the theaters, or even watched a real movie before. It was forbidden in my family, as TV was a soul-rotting invention as explained by my mother. Eventually I got married, and it was a struggle through our courtship getting around the idea of no TV or movies to her, but she eventually came around. She missed it, I could tell. She would always tell me of this show she used to watch called King of Queens with this portly fellow who was a comedic genius. I thought it was cute the way she would talk and laugh about it, and I couldn't help but feel a tinge of guilt that I had removed that sense of joy from her life. Fast forward about 4 years, and we were having a lot of marital issues (as it sometimes happens). We had stagnated, grown bored, and entered a sort of "roommate status." It was beginning to really take a toll on us. I came home one day and told her we are going out tonight, you pick the date. Anything you want. We go out, and she is driving. She made me close my eyes and told me it was a huge surprise and not to peek. We get out of the car, and she leads me to a cool and dark place. As the blindfold was lifted, I found myself in a theater. I was furious at first, and asked her why she had brought me here. I decided to swallow my pride and remember that I had told her to pick the date. Fast forward 2 hours, and I had what can be called an existential awakening. I can't believe I had never experienced such an amazing entertainment venue as a movie theater before. I looked at my wife with a gleam in my eyes, and it was like instant sparks. The kind you get when you first fall in love with that special person. We drove straight home made passionate love for hours. It saved my life, and it saved my marriage. That will forever go down in history, as the night that saved it all for me - the night that I saw my very first movie. To that I say a hearty "Thank you, Paul Blart, thank you!" The mall cop that saved my life.
I work as a security guard at a mall in Buford, Wyoming. I can honestly say that watching the Paul Blart movie gave my life meaning. I used to think that my job was pointless but the movie made me realized that normal people can do amazing things. My pet goldfish loves the movie and makes me put it on repeat everyday when I'm at work. God Bless you Kevin James.
One time, I was browsing through the channels after figuring out I didn't make it into college. At first I noticed that something was wrong. My cable may have been broken or something but I thought I was living a nightmare. Every channel was playing the same movie, I thought it was a joke but I assure you, it was no joke. I was so sad that I was about to go insane, when I realized that the movie on every channel was Paul Blart Mall Cop. It truly turned my life around as I decided it was my destiny to work with computer animation since the movie was way ahead of its time.

Seriously though A film my friends won't shut up about at the moment which they say gave them an existential crisis after seeing it was Paul Blart Mall Cop.
[Serious] Transformers 3. Not the whole movie, but the scene where Shia is interviewing for a job with John Malkovich. In the scene Shia gets upset about being offered a shitty mail room job and proceeds to explain to John's character that he's done shit that matters and would like to have a job where he matters again. I had just left the Army and was in college looking for a part time job when I saw the movie. That scene exemplified exactly how I felt going to interviews for shitty jobs that were offering shitty pay. I felt entitled to more than $9 an hour doing a job a fucking money could do. I didn't spend 9 year traveling to far flung third world shit holes to do something menial and inconsequential. I didn't risk my life and sanity to take instructions from some 19 year old burn out. Then John's character responded with a line that changed my perspective, "This isn't the job you want. The job you want is the one after this, and this job is standing in your way." I.e. I was starting over again in the civilian world and would have to accept the fact that I would have to start at the bottom where ever I went.
I moved to another city so my wife could be closer to her parents. Not only did I miss my home and all of my friends but I also missed the feeling that I was enough for her, because if I was we could have lived anywhere. I couldn't find a job in the city and was rejected endlessly by employers. My self esteem withered away like the leaves in winter and I would start drinking earlier and earlier every day until making it until 5 p.m was a real challenge. Sometimes I considered suicide by I didn't have the energy to plan it. I would think about jumping off the balcony but this would mean I would have to jump, and my soul was broken. I was drinking myself to death until I was inspired by something magical. Kevin James inspired me to put down the bottle and keep living and I grew courage, determination, self esteem, and a mustache. If the academy wasn't so corrupt Paul Blart: Mall Cop would have won him an Oscar.
I personally feel light comedies where the story line is about something inconsequential and funny really takes the edge off in a stressful time. Like guys/people who don't make a big deal out of things and pursue their own thing in a hilarious way. Like Harold and Kumar movies and Superbad, etc. And movies like Clueless, Enchanted, etc.

I watched Paul Blart: Mall Cop and I won the lottery shortly afterwards. Not the monetary lottery, but the endless knowledge and wisdom from having watched Paul Blart: Mall Cop.
What Dreams May Come helped me get through robin's tragic death, got high af, cried and laughed like a lunatic the first second he was on screen, then thoroughly enjoyed the wonderful movie put before me
After I was diagnosed with erectile dysfunction at an early age I fell into a very dark place, but that all changed on that bright and sunny day that I first watched the underrated movie known as Paul Blart: Mall Cop. Now I am able to get a full erection on demand and anytime I'm in a public mall.
My boyfriend knew I was going through a rough time and brought over Shawshank Redemption for me to watch.
After it was over he turned to me and said sometimes a person has to crawl through shit to reach their goal. I think back to that moment anytime things seem overwhelming and impossible.

Baul Plart Call Mop saved my life. I was being bullied, I felt like no one cared. I had a noose around my neck, when I stepped on the TV remote. As the TV switched on, I was amazed at the pure beauty of Blart. As I sat down and watched, I was enthralled at the pure genius Steve Carr directed in this film. Any occasion, this movie will heal the deepest corners of your soul. Hail Blart, our Lord and Savior. In Paul Blart's name we pray. Amen.
I once experienced a really painful breakup. My girlfriend of over a year and half called me out of the blue and said "I just don't know what I want anymore". And we never spoke again. Our favorite movie to watch together was always Paul Blart: Mall Cop and it always got us through rough times. Unfortunately, this movie left a sour note in me and it hurt to watch it.
That's until recently, when I saw the trailer for Paul Blart: Mall Cop 2. A rush of excitement washed over me and wiped away any bad feelings towards my favorite movie character.
OP, do yourself a favor and watch Paul Blart: Mall Cop. It will get you through rough times.

Dr. Horrible's Sing Along Blog. I got a concussion and I was stuck in my bedroom for weeks. I watched that movie a lot. And I still watch it when I'm feeling really down and need some comfort.
Had a breakdown at university. The night before I was finally due to go back, I was a ball of nerves and couldn't stop crying. Then I put on Wall-E, and everything was fine.

(spoiler alert) I was getting divorced, had lost my job, my cats, my (step)son, and my friend had moved away all in the same week. I kept thinking about Jacob's Ladder.
Eckhart saw Hell too. He said: The only thing that burns in Hell is the part of you that won't let go of life, your memories, your attachments. They burn them all away. But they're not punishing you, he said. They're freeing your soul. So, if you're frightened of dying and... and you're holding on, you'll see devils tearing your life away. But if you've made your peace, then the devils are really angels, freeing you from the earth.
I was going to make a throwaway for this but whatever. A few years ago I was in a bad place... using heroin as often as I could and always just focusing on getting enough money one way or another to get the next fix. I was beating around with a really hard bunch, those people that just months prior to my using I would avoid like the plague. I luckily avoided any jail time but I was no stranger to police run ins.
Nothing was going right. I had a year left of my under graduate degree before dropping out and spending my tuition money on drugs.
After about a year of this nonsense my family and close friends staged an intervention in my apartment. They sat me down and made me watch Paul Blart Mall Cop, and to say it changed my life is an understatement. Ever since that fateful moment I have been sober and loving life!
Pirates of the Caribbean dead man's chest came out a week after my mother passed away. Something drove me to get out of bed for the first time in weeks. I went to the theater alone. I laughed, I cried, I had fun. At a time where I wasn't ever sure I might have fun again. That movie will always have a special meaning for me.
As a man who shares a birthday w/ Kevin James, I feel I missed something very special. I'm distraught... I need to ride of a Segway to make me feel better.
There are a lot of joke posts here, but I swear this is true. I had to get a root canal, that my regular dentist could not do because of problems in the root, so he sent me to a specialist. The specialist's office has the coolest setup I've ever seen. They offer you a choice of movies to watch while getting your procedure, but it's not on the ceiling where it can be blocked as the dentist leans over you. They have goggles with headphones, with blinders on the sides so that you can't see anything but the movie. It's an amazing way to get a root canal, because you can just keep your attention on the show and kind of forget that somebody is drilling in your teeth.
I watched Paul Blart: Mall Cop while they worked, and it was definitely a better experience than getting a root canal with no movie at all.

Forrest Gump.
I was really down in the dumps, and I fielt I could really relate to Jenny in more than a few ways. The message of the movie that "Life just happens" and the outcome of Jenny lifted my spirits in more than a few ways. My favorite movie of all time. Male here.
I was going through a weird existential questioning phase where I was often very uncertain and afraid of my future. It was a fun movie that also made me think a lot about the uncertainty in every future, and to just go along with it.
When I was young and stupid I was having some issues with life. Worried about failure in love, school, and life in general. People kept telling me how good Requiem for a Dream was but that it was horribly depressing. I figured that I should watch it just to see what all the fuss was about. I watched as life spiraled out of control for the characters and the bad decisions that they made pushed them farther and farther into addiction and self harm and I came to a stunning realization. I was in a much better place than anyone like that. I had infinitely better prospects and made way better choices.
Every bad consequence fueled by every bad choice in that movie just served to re-enforce this good feeling that I got inside me knowing that I would not make mistakes near as bad as those I was watching. By the end as the characters wound down with no hope and crushing sadness I realized that I was happy, I realized that life was on a good path for me and that if I worked hard I would be just fine. I might not ever be capable of attaining perfection in anything but I realized I didn't need that to be happy. All I needed was moderate success.
The movie still makes me feel happy because:
TLDR: Requiem for a Dream made me see that my worst fears were nothing compared to the reality of some people, and that brought me peace.
Not a movie, but 30 Rock brought my husband and I together. I had always loved that show and mentioned it once to him in passing when we were just friends. Several months later I was going through a really rough breakup, so he came over to hang out and suggested we watch some 30 Rock. It was hours of wonderful humor, idolizing Tina Fey, and budding romance.

I was scrolling through looking for movies to help me get through a rough time, and everyone kept saying Paul Blart Mall Cop, and it pissed me the fuck off. So then I went and watched Paul Blart Mall Cop 2 and everything was better.
This is a long story but you'll understand at the end
One day I was walking to school and I saw a homeless guy. He looked at me and yelled, Purple Box. After that he fell over and was dead immediately. I was shocked
When I got to school I told my friends about the homeless guy. I asked them if they knew what purple box was. They got pissed at me and kicked my ass, stole my wallet. I had to go to the principals office to explain. I asked my principal if he knew what purple box was. His expression changed and he expelled me there on the spot.
My mom came and picked me up. She was furious, she had no idea why i was expelled. I told her the story and asked her if she knew was purple box was. She slammed on the brakes and kicked me out of the car and made me walk home. When I got home my dad was there waiting for me. I was crying at this point and asked him, dad, all I want to know is what is purple box.
He beat the living shit out of me. I mean to a pulp. I was literally gushing blood from my mouth. He said I was disowned and was told to get the fuck out of his house.
I packed a bag and left. I was walking around downtown and saw a homeless guy. He yelled Purple Box. I walked over and asked him What the hell is purple box. He pointed to a billboard down the road and said you will find your answer there.
I ran as fast as I could and saw a billboard with an arrow pointing left and it said Purple Box!! I was so curious I decided to run faster, I ran out into the road and got hit by a truck and was killed...
At my funeral the pastor put a copy of Paul Blart 2 Mall Cop (bootleg cam quality but still 720p) on my casket and I immediately came back to life to tell you this story.
American Beauty. Reminds me that we have a life to live and should try to live it how we want instead of just falling in the routine of everyday typical life that society expects of you.
I was disappointing a lot of people for a while. Learning to let things slide helped a lot.

Aside from the onslaught on Blart refs... I tend to shelter myself away on books and movies. The real world isn't something I fully get or it doesn't get me. I guess just like films & their characters of misunderstood beings and stories, I have found an escape or relate ability in them.
I try talking to people but it seems many of the people around me just want to hear themselves talk. So I most of the time just sit and observe and wait till I can go home from work or from whatever feasible amount of social activities I've allowed myself to fall into.
When I'm home, it's another story... I have a world of people that are beautiful, broken, angry, funny, sweet, gritty, intriguing, intelligent. I can change the narrative as opposed to my own dull conversations with friends I've known since middle school. It's sad, but the real/outside world today is so small compared to the world in books & films.
If you've read this far (and wow)... you may say, what's wrong with you, or you sound depressed. You're probably right... I've gone through stints of therapy but it only puts a temporary band-aid on it. The problem is the world and communication and how we all talk to each other. And I am aware, yes, I am more sensitive to it.
With that said here are the films that have had impact on me and not just for communication standards. I tend to go to films that help me feel how I'm feeling.

This might sound a little strange, but I will always cherish this. My ex girlfriend and I were going through a pretty harsh breakup. She cheated on me more than once and I was putting a stop to it. I was leaving her house after fighting and ending things, and as I was experiencing those mixed emotions, you know, the ones where you are finally free of Satan's grasp but you desire to be back in it? Satan being my ex for our slower redditors. Anyway I went back home, made a bag of popcorn, furiously masterbated, and watched Paul Blart Mall Cop. It changed my whole perspective on things, and I now have an Eagle tattooed on my back to remind me how much of a cheating whore she was...
For me, Mall Cops: Mall of America helped me through some dark times. Watch Episode Two: Viking Fever, which has some reassuring things to say about the importance of living for the present.
I was having a couple surgeries and I was lower than I ever had been in my life and I couldn't walk, just lie there and watch tv for weeks. I watched Cast Away and this quote changed my whole outlook of things. It still brings me to tears hearing it.
"So now I know what I have to do. I have to keep breathing. And tomorrow the sun will rise, and who knows what the tide will bring in."
Errr.... On a serious note, Kill Bill, Part 1. I was having family problems and crippling self-doubt about my musicianship, but I realized that these problems were all a result of my own shitty attitude when The Bride exerted enough mental focus to wiggle her big toe. She willed herself out of a terrible situation, and I realized so could I.
Charlie Countryman.
I feel Shia La Beouf Is a terrific actor. I really don't care how he is in his personal life because every single person has the right to choose to do whatever they want.
But his acting skills impress me and that movie actually helped me deal with a personal loss and pulled me out of a funk during what I hope is the most terrible period in my life.
Edward Scissor Hands...makes me cry every time. It reminds me that no matter how much people may bother you for your interests or how you dress that you should always be yourself. There is no shame in being unique. Not to sound cheesy, but why fit in when you were born to stand out.

Since ever human links feeling and emotions to pictures, which can be paintings or stuff like this, it is really helpful to change the environment. Redecorate your room or flat or whatever, move to a new city, get out of your usual stuff as much as you can. Just get rid off everything that could make you feel bad sub/- consciously. I feel you Bro.
Pineapple Express. It's a hilarious story about an asshole and a really nice guy coming together, setting aside their differences and becoming best of friends. Also it's got a star-studded cast of comedic actors.
One day, my autistic pet rock was dying. The doctors said he was recently diagnosed with cancer, so it was an extremely depressing time. In the last several hours of his life, I showed him Paul Blart: Mall Cop and suddenly, his cancer and autism was gone!
The marketing is strong with this one. Before, no one was going to see the Paul Blart: Mall Cop 2. Now, at least 5806 are finally enlightened to the true glory of this movie.
Its a series and not a movie, but Firefly always helps.

I was on a long bus ride that would be twenty four hours, minimal breaks and no hotel stops. As that realization sunk in, someone put in a movie. A movie so grand in its escapades that I immediately regained my confidence to last the bus ride. Thank you, Kevin James. Your Segway-filled movie helped me in my time of great struggle.
My parents were killed in an alley after leaving an opera. My first attempt at overcoming my fear of theaters was when Dark Knight came out. Dark Knight helped me at this point in my life because it was in the theater just before the theater showing Paul Blart Mall Cop just like the ticket taker said it would.
TL;DR Dark Knight helped me find the movie that changed my life.

I would watch grandma's boy when I was unemployed every night to fall asleep. It was right when the recession hit and the area I lived in was based around touristy stuff so decent jobs were hard to come by. I eventually got my foot in the door from a friend at her current employer and I was able to help support a family of 4 for a good year until another job offer came up out of state.

OK, well I actually had a good and serious answer to this question about how a movie helped get me through depression and suicidal thoughts after my gf left me and my parents got a divorce withing months of each other. But apparently we are only upvoting Paul Blart for some reason. Fuck you reddit.

Paul Blart's Mall Cop was the one film that cured my cancer, made me have 20/20 vision, and made me regain my hearing. I cried tears of joy watching it again, and those tears were the cure to world hunger.
Sorry I took so long to respond. I was upset that all of the answers here are the same. I've been watching Paul Blart: Mall Cop and it's as inspiring and amazing as everyone here says it is. Thank Blart.
It wasn't a movie but a show. I was in jail for a bit and watched the show departures every morning alone in the common room while the other guys slept in. It's about three Canadian guys traveling the world and it was amazing.
(500) Days of Summer helped me get through a rough time after I had a weird story with a girl. It's basically the best way to explain modern relationship to people who expected real life to be like Disney movies. It is also a very good movie, will make you laugh, you don't have to be sad to watch it.
A few years ago I lost my sweet old Segway, my life was in shambles until I came across Paul blart and his amazing adventure, after that day my life had truly changed.
BLESS YOU KEVIN JAMES
Btw look out for the Paul blart DVD (make sure you get the special edition for all those extras!)
probably get laughed off the internet for this one, but it was "Yes Man". that movie changed my fucking life. i was really alone, broke, and boring. that movie inspired me to change my life; now im successful, in a long term stable relationship, and couldnt be any happier.

A year or two ago I had a young people's mistake incident involving a dirty dish, an open trash can, open windows, 3 days away, and a room full of maggots. I spent over two hours clearing them from every corner of the room, under the rugs, in my clothes, every where, killing them with spoons and whatever, in a near panic attack state.
I crawled up onto my bed after triple checking it, curled up in the fetus position, and nearly lost my mind. I took out my computer and put on a series called Kino's Journey. It was so relaxing and thoughtful. It was soothing in a way I never had from any other similar form of media. It washed the panic away.
Technically an anime series, not a movie, but beggars can't be choosers.
I always say watch Cast Away. Think about it this way - life can be tough, but it can always be worse. He loses everything, yet never gives up hope - only to start in a new direction.
I found this movie right after my grandfather passed away from his brief battle with cancer. It gave me a lot of perspective. It made me realize that losing my grandfather, which seemed like the end of the world because I was still a kid, wasn't a unique experience. And that a lot of good, happy families can be torn apart by cancer. But on the flip side, the other 50% (let's say), modern medicine is getting better and there's even more hope for cancer patients these days.
I was having a really shitty day, tests weren't going well and my girlfriend was mad at me. I found Disney's Up online and started watching and I swear to god it really motivated me to watch my favourite movie Paul Blart: Mall Cop

I watched this movie where there's a girl who wants to take her own life but is stuck with this asshole guy. Lots of philosophy and discussions you'd wish you had. Smart flick
After my girlfriend broke up with me, I started listening to 2Pac and I haven't been sad once since.

When I was a boy, sad from my parents' divorce and really not enjoying school, I loved the idea that I, too, could be a Time Bandit, and longed to escape with Randall, Og, Fidget, Wally and all the gang to the Time of Legends.
EDIT: Aw, damn, I am getting downvoted because I see, now, I was supposed to say Paul Blart: Mall Cop. Shit, I'm sorry - I really did mean my original answer!
I recently lost my job, so I've had a lot of free time to watch movies. On my best day, I watched about five movies in total. And all of them were Paul Blart: Mall Cop, but dubbed with various languages.
After my parents left me half-dead on the streets at age 5, I snuck into a drive-in movie. There, Paul Blart: Mall Cop was playing on the reel. I immediately matured 15 years, received a PhD, and found my wife. God bless.
It's Such A Beautiful Day is a little foreign animated film I watched when I was sick and depressed. It completely changed my perspective on life, because after watching that movie Netflix suggested I watch Paul Blart Mall Cop and I never looked back. Paul Blart gave me the will to go on. I eagerly look forward to the expansion of the Paul Blart cinematic universe.
First breakup fucked me up. Spent a stupid amount of time watching the Rebuild of Evangelion movies. Dunno why, maybe because I figured, "Well, as bad as things are, at least I'm not a little bitch like Shinji."
A little bit more than a year ago, I was this close to throwing myself off a bridge, never told that to anyone, they knew that I was not in a happy place, but they never knew it was that bad. My parents made me talk to a therapist weekly. If I hadn't I would've killed myself. I don't even know his last name. He saved my life and all I know is that his first name is Paul, and that his last name starts with a G I think.
Edit: didn't realize the question was about which movie helped you out.

A few years back a kid in my daughter's class committed suicide. We all felt stunned and we all sat on the couch and watched Billy and Mandy Keeper of the Reaper. My head was spinning, yet I was able to smile and I realized how healing humor is and wondered if something as simple as a laugh could have changed his day...
A few years ago I was going through a really tough time. I was fed up with life and all its pain. I had finally decided to go through with it and put the quickest end to my relentless suffering. Over the next couple days, I got it all planned out. I wrote a note to my family. I wrote a note to each one of my friends. I prepared a piece of paper with each of my logins and what to write to my friends online. I even had planned the time and place I would carry out my act. I would do it after dinner with my family on that fateful night.
I sat down at dinner. I felt a little happy because my suffering would finally come to an end, but also sad because I knew my family would miss me. We had a nice meal, the four of us. When I finished, I told my family I loved them like I normally do and went back up to my room to prepare myself for what I was about to do.
A couple minutes later my mother called up to me to come watch a movie with them. It was a movie that they knew I had been wanting to watch for a long time and, conveniently, it was playing on tv. I decided, why not, it couldn't hurt to spend another hour or so with my family.
We sat on that couch for over an hour and a half. In that hour and a half, I found what I had been missing. I felt like there was a weight being lifted off my shoulders. All along I was only depressed because I hadn't seen this movie.
The name of that movie? Paul Blart Mall Cop

I was about 10 during 2009. My favourite boy band split up, I was going through the awkward stage, and my only "friends" were bullies. One day my mom came home with a pizza and a movie. We sat down together (with my other family members) and watched a movie that was the opposite of how I felt. It was Paul Blart Mall Cop. A happy movie for a sad me. I can say that film really cheered me up for at least a few hours.
I'm surprised no one here has mentioned it, and it's admittedly a little corny, but Paul Blart Mall Cop really cheered me up when my mother ran off with the neighbor's dog and mother accidentally committed suicide, leaving behind a note detailing her intentions to commit suicide.
The toughest time of my life -- I was layed off, losing my mind, broke, angry, sad, and everything seemed so, so, so bleak. I really didn't think I could hold on anymore.

I was going through a really rough break up. It was my first love and real relationship, we had lived together for awhile. It was a really dark time for me. The empty apartment felt like a tomb. I read through the Hobbit, my best friend had gotten it for me for my birthday. I felt a lot better after reading it. Then I got some strange pussy and I was a cured man.
It was not long ago when I was at a tough time in my life. I had given up on the world and decided to quit my career in marine biology and just do nothing. Hell I did better and decided to make a show with a comedian I knew, a show about nothing. Well, somewhere shit went wrong and I ended up killing my wife with poorly bought postal stamps. After that I took a job in architecture, but quickly left it to join the New York Yankees. I was rousted from the job when confronted by the Van Buren Boys and I forgot their secret signal (it's showing 8 fingers if you're interested). After that I drifted for a while and eventually hit my all time low as I spent a year in jail for mocking a fat person who was getting mugged across the street. It was there in my prison cell I discovered Paul Blart: Mall Cop. I turned my life around that very day and upon being released I became an extremely successful humanitarian at the head of The Human Fund. During that glorious time, I met Kevin James and immediately dropped to my hands and knees as I kissed his feet. I told him how his inspirational movie changed my life and it was about that time I realized Kevin James was 7 stories tall and a crustacean from the paleolithic era. He asked for tree fiddy and when I showed him my empty pockets he simply replied
"No soup for you"

After 9/11 we were pretty messed up. I worked in one twoer my brother in the other. My husband and I got through a very sad time with Joe Dirt. We laughed until we cried. About a tear later we put it on and were surprised at how bad it truly was.
You fucking trash make me want to resort to any other means of communication other than internet. I will use smoke signals to tell people about movies.
Mac written and directed by John Turturro. They just don't make movies like that anymore. The scene where he spends his lunch redoing his job with quality workmanship rang true to me on so many levels. Not to mention that song which overlays the scene. My eyes teared the first time I saw it. I am old as fuck though. Actually users of this website won't be able to relate,nor will their parents.
I got laid off back in January and ended up running really low on money through the ensuing months. My mother was very supportive in letting me stay with her while I job searched, but I didn't have much luck in doing so and grew very depressed since I'd just ended a very lengthy relationship a few months prior. I ended up being down to my last tree fiddy, so I went down to the local cheap theater that was showing Paul Blart: Mall Cop. I got to say it really inspired me. I was able to change my attitude towards life, regain my confidence, and I was employed again in a matter of weeks and found my soul mate.
I can tell you a movie that is not good for getting through a rough time is Paul Blart Mall Cop on VHS when you rewind it and watch it in reverse. Try to imagine witnessing the birth of Christ in reverse.

I am Minister "Blart X". From The Peoples Church of Blart.
Our Lord and Savior, Master, Bishop, and Holy One, His royal holyness, Paul Blart. Lord of the realm, protector of the seven kingdoms, rider of Segways and consumer of pastries.
Mission Statement
The Peoples Church of Blart. is called to proclaim the Gospel of Blart and the beliefs of the evangelical Blartian faith, to maintain the worship the teachings of Master Bishop Paul Blart, and to inspire in all persons a love for the Malls, a passion for Segways, and a consciousness of their duties to His Blartness.
We pledge our lives to "Mastor Bishop Paul Blart" and covenant with each other to demonstrate His Spirit through worship, witnessing, and ministry to the needs of the people of this church and local Malls.
There are a lot of movies that have helped me through rough times. I remember in the 1990's when I was dealing with my first marriage dissolving (we should have never married, but college pregnancies happen). I was depressed, living along and working/eating/sleeping, no social life.
I had a buddy who worked at a video store and he recommended a movie he wouldn't tell me anything about - the Usual Suspects. I remember watching it twice and being completely blown away by a simple realization - you know who would have spotted who Keyser Soze was on the first story? Paul Blart, Mall Cop. That movie really just ruined the notion of suspense, as I just have to ask, WWPBD?
So yesterday I was feeling really down about Gabe's recent tyranny over modders. While I was considering posting spiteful meme's on the valve forums, strange but wonderful moving pictures entranced my attention from the corner of my eyes.
The movie captured the struggle of modders perfectly, the brave security guards of gaming morality and creativity without support from the "real designers" ( REAL "pffft" COPS). Paul Blart: Mall Cop god bless, the movie that fuelled the gaming revolution.

it's been a long few years for me, my mom died at a freak Gap accident when a light fell on her. My cat Dan broke a leg and couldnt recover. he has wheels for back legs now so i call him Wheely Dan. I randomly was recommended Paul Blart Mall Cop by a friend. Its really shown me that anything is possible. And kept me going. Thanks, Paul Blart Mall Cop
I didn't have enough money to buy food for my family this month. Then I won the lottery. The first thing I did was treat them to a family movie night to see Paul Blart: Mall cop. As a single parent, I had an existential crisis by the end of the credits.
I still don't have money to pay for food because I spent it all on a Segway. He taught me that Segway = success. I've made a good friend on my daily patrol by 'hotdog on a stick'. But I am more interested in Cinnabon girl. She's only 17 but we can connect on deeper levels. One day, I hope to enter the Annapolis mall cop academy and ask her to join me in rebuilding my life. Our life.
Thanks, Paul Blart. I can't believe your masterpiece isn't already available in DVD or bluray format.
For the first time ever on Reddit, I'm wondering what I've missed. Besides Paul Blart Mall Cop, which was life affirming.

Everyone I've ever loved died in the same day in a freak accident. They neighbors were lifting a piano into there 3rd story through the window using a pulley system. Unfortunately, everyone I've ever loved was standing under taking a group photo. I thought I'd watch Paul Blart Mall Cop and seriously its taken my mind off it ever since. Its been 4 years.

After lots of family trouble, I finally got a girlfriend a few years ago. Fast forward to today, she just broke up with me a week ago. You see, for our first date, we watched Paul Blart: Mall Cop for our first date, typical 8th grade stuff. But when she dumped me, I realized I could watch the second for some closure. Boy was I right, Paul Blart taught me to let go and that I shouldn't be afraid to be alone. Thank you and God bless Paul Blart.

Big Hero 6 helped get me motivated to decide what I want to specialize in my studies! After I watched that movie I knew I needed to study Artificial Intelligence and figured out all my classes until graduation to make it happen! This summer I'm going to start research in a Robotics/AI lab and I've never been more motivated in school before!
Edit: and by "Big Hero 6" I obviously mean "Paul Blart: Mall Cop"......
Time for a serious answer. For me, it wasn't a movie that helped me but an anime show. I know that sounds kind of lame, but it really had an impact on me. The name of the show is "Welcome to the N.H.K." I started watching it when I was pretty much at an all time low; depressed, overweight, and pretty much doing nothing with my life. I watched the whole show, 24 episodes, in about 2 days. It really changed how I viewed my life, and helped me want to change it. It's been a little more than a year now, but ive managed to lose 85 lbs, get back in school, and become a generally happier person. I still have some problems, but progress is progress. I recommend it to anyone struggling with similar issues.

Tucker and dale vs evil.
Just moved away for the first time didn't end up with the Job I was hoping for, and things were pretty shitty. We found it at a movie rental store and convinced the guy to sell it to us a day early so we didn't have to wait. It was definitely worth.
I was fresh out of the psych center with no job and crippling anxiety. It felt like the world was collapsing around me. I wasn't hearing the Pebble People anymore but I still thought about them often. It was also around this time that I became a strict vegan after watching the motion picture Chicken Run. The lack of protein left me feeling tired and spacy, which, combined with the anxiety, was a recipe for depression. There were times when I wanted to end it all. For months, my life consisted of eating vegetable broth three times a day (bean burritos on special occasions) and lying in bed staring at the ceiling. As if things couldn't get any worse, I saw my ex girlfriend Katie at the Pavilion on Christmas Day, and not only did she look amazingly fit, but her new boyfriend looked like a bearded model out of an L.L. Bean catalog. So there I was... broke, hungry, depressed, and alone. One smoggy day I walked to the beach and just looked out at the water. I realized that I'd be better off as fish food- part of the grand Pacific- than continuing my putrid, selfish existence. My plan was clear: return to my moldy apartment for one last night-- write a brief note explaining my decision-- and return to the ocean the next day, where I would drift into the sea and sink down into the depths below; I had never felt a part of anything before-- and now I would become part of the Pacific-- home at last. But when I got home on that fateful Tuesday evening, I turned on the television to stifle the silence of my sad, lonely apartment. There was a movie playing called Paul Blart: Mall Cop. There was something captivating about the protagonist. I saw myself in him somehow. The depth in his eyes penetrated the screen, revealing the soul behind this portly man. I knew in that moment that my pain was his pain, and his pain was mine. A calmness and relief washed over me. Suddenly, drifting into the ocean seemed silly and emo. And that's how Paul Blart: Mall Cop saved my life.
Here's a real answer. I went through a tough time in the last year. The Princess Bride was nice. But what really helped was binge watching through shit like Arrested Development and Psych. But apparently, Paul Blart is awesome?

Im afraid to give my serious answer because its actually Hitch which has kevin james also lol. Idk why but that totally helped me get out of my head during a really bad time, no joke.
Paul Blart: Mall Cop.
Truly inspirational after my dog died, cat was put down, and hamster passed away.
Also I bought a Segway.
Also Kevin James brings tears to my eyes. Tears of joy!
Into the Wild showed me the free side of life one could explore at anytime, and it got me more interested in hiking and camping when I didn't know what to do for activities.
But while watching Paul Blart Mall Cop, I learned the treasures of the indoors.
I just moved into a new apartment after switching jobs and ending a relationship. The first thing I did was set up my Wi-Fi and Netflix and immediately watched Paul Blart Mall Cop. I feel whole again.
I'm actually going through a rough patch right now with unemployment. Everyday i hit the streets with applications and follow ups to the ones I've got in. And every night i watch the trailer for Paul Blart Mall Cop 2 to remind myself to never give up. Thank you Kevin James, for never giving up. :)
I can relate man, I lost my truck, then my wife, but then I stumbled upon Paul Blart Mall Cop during my shift work. As soon I flicked the movie on I felt cured of all my depression. 10/10 would recommend Paul Blart Mall Cop
Manic. It stars a young Joseph Gordon Levitt and Zooey Deschanel, also one of Don Cheadle's best roles imo. Still one of my all-time favorite movies because it helped me so much when it did. If anyone reading this hasn't seen it, please do.
edit: God dammit. This is probably going to get downvoted to hell for not saying Paul Blart Mall Cop.

One day my cat got ran over.
I cried on the couch all day until a movie came on the tv.
Paul blart: mall cop.
My sad tears soon became tears of joy, and when I thought I couldn't get better,
Sparkles walked right into my house through the front door, healthy as can be.
When I was a kid my parents got divorced and it really ate me up inside. Living with my dad was tough since I really missed my mom. But everyday I'd come home and he'd have a grilled cheese sandwich waiting for me and we'd watch Paul Blart mall cop. I'm 32.
I'd tell you my real answer, but I'm afraid Redditors will accuse me of being a shill for Columbia Pictures. We They have a sequel coming out soon and could benefit from some good publicity.

One when I was at work at the mall I stayed late and realized that there were still a couple people in the mall. I found out that they were holding my daughter and girlfriend hostage! After a very long night of conquering these parkour-masters with my Segway and saving everyone I went home and watched Paul Blart Mall Cop and it really made me feel better.
After I found out I was left on my uncle doorstep as a child, I saw Paul Blart Mall Cop and realized that there is so much more to life than I thought.
One time I was forced to watch Paul Blart Mall Cop, and things were really going rough, it was really the straw that broke the camels back, having to sit through that film. I knew I had to put on a good movie to cheer me right up. And you know what movie did the trick? Paul Blart: Mall Cop.

Walter White had to copies of Mr Magorium's Wonder Emporium! I have him beat, though. I have THREE copies of Paul Blart Mall Cop.
One playing on loop in each room of the shrines that were once the rooms of my children. They were killed in an auto accident after their mother put on Scooby Doo instead of Paul Blart mall cop for them to watch in the family mini van.
The children gasped at the shocking reveal by Scooby and the Gang which caused my wife to be surprised. She looked over at the screen where Scooby was playing instead of at the road, and ran straight into a semi.
If only they would have been watching Paul Blart Mall Cop, they would have been saved!

Secret Life of Walter Mitty. Super uplifting story of a man going completely outside of his comfort zone to achieve what he thinks is a singular goal only to find the answers to almost every question he's ever had. Awesome.
There are few days where I have the will to go on. So I keep Paul Blart Mall Cop in the DVD player at all times.

Welp my turn I guess..
My entire family died in a fire 4 years ago. My cat killed himself 3 months ago by hanging. I'm now alone. With no one but myself and a scratched copy of a delightful film known as Paul Blart: Mall Cop
This film alone has saved my life 42 times. If you haven't seen it, I highly recommend it. I'm sure this will be down voted to hell but it's a great little comedy.

I had a nasty car accident that left my face pretty badly damaged in my junior year of high school. Long story short I was made fun of pretty badly for about six months. I spiraled into a deep depression and eventually found myself sitting in my armchair about to take a handful of pills but then my TV miraculously turned on and Paul Bart: Mall Cop was playing. I immediately got off my ass, tossed the pills down the garbage chute, and I haven't even considered suicide for five years now.

My entire life was rough before I saw Paul Blart Mall Cop. It was that movie that showed me what life really is, and how wonderful it can be. Without that movie, by now I'd be starving on the cold streets, or dead.
I had Erectile dysfunction until i watched Paul Blart Mall Cop, now i stay rock hard day and night.
Praise be to Kevin James.

I had the noose tied and around my neck. I pulled it tight and was just about to kick the chair away when I saw a preview on TV for Paul Blart Mall Cop. I decided to go see it the next day and never though about death or suicide again. I'm now happily married to the biggest Paul Blart Mall Cop fan I know (besides me of course), and I have a newborn boy named Paul.

Well, that's a tough question.
About ten years ago I dropped out of the 11th grade. I was deeply depressed at the time. Everything that could've gone wrong, had, from my perspective. My mom had recently (near the end of the 10th grade) lost the fight against cancer, after 6 long years. She was everything in my life. I just disappeared. I stopped hanging out with my friends, and I stopped going to school. I had never felt so empty in my life before.
I drifted around for a while, working minimum wage jobs (I'd never gotten my license so I could never go far from my home).
At some point one of my old friends reached out to me again, and invited me to hang out. To make the story shorter, I went to her house, and we watched Super Troopers. I felt indiferrent about the entire experience. Nothing changed, and I didn't speak to her again afterwards. Then, years later, Paul Blart: Mall Cop came out and changed my life. I rented the movie, and found 300 dollars in the case, allowing me to finally get my license, in turn inspiring me to turn my life around. The movie itself was hilarious; I hadn't laughed so hard in years. I felt like my mom was right there, laughing along with me. Paul Blart changed my life. I now work as a mall security gaurd and have a loving wife and 2 beautiful children. I also have diabetes.

I saw Lord of the Rings once after a break-up. It was really good, and I enjoyed watching every minute of it. However, it did not measure up to my expectations set by Paul Blart Mall Cop, which had previously helped me through failing several classes and is the best film I have ever seen.
I thought nothing could bring me out of the trap that self harm was. Then I saw Paul Blart: Mall Cop. I was so inspired that I decided to apply for a job at a segway company.
I was fired from my job and had to reassess what I was going to do with my life. In my late 20's making no money and still living with my parents. Then I was flipping through the channels one day and found a little-known foreign film called Aul-pay Art-blay: All-may Op-cay, and it gave me the resolve to pick up the pieces.
I was forced to watch "it's kind of a funny story" for my psychology class sophomore year of college. At the time I was struggling with deep depression and even suicidal thoughts. I watched it with my roommates and they had no idea about this. After watching the movie I told them about it and went a got help. Now I'm currently two years depression "free". This movie will always hold a special place with me.
I was deployed for 13 months to Afghanistan, the one thing that got me through the tough times was a cinematic masterpiece known as Paul Blart Mall Cop. Kevin James really encapsulates the essence of bravery in this role.
When I was still living at home and struggling to make money to finally move out to an apartment I found myself watching more and more movies and the one you're referring to op is forrest Gump, it's a very heartwarming movie and- Oh I'm sorry I thought you asked what was that movie starring Tom hanks and a box of chocolates , if you're talking about what movie actually helped me stay sane and finally gather enough money to move out and live by myself comfortably it was this great film that I would recommend to even the toughest critic. It's called Paul Blart Mall Cop.
I literally just caught myself wanting to check the comment section of this comment section, hoping for some better insight as to how this started

Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind for me. I had just gone through a really bad breakup and was literally having the "wish I could just forget it/you ever happened" thoughts. The movie changed my perspective on all that and it sticks with me to this day.
Ah fuck it. Garden State and Wristcutters: A Love Story. Both sorta helped me figure out this droning listlessness of depression and alienation. Here's your serious answer, OP. It is my gift to you.
Yep! I liked it a lot. It maybe didn't resonate as much because I'm still in the Garden State figuring-out-my-younger-days stage, but it was still quite good. I understand the gripes, though.

i think what we've all just witnessed here today is something beyond what any of us could have hoped for. Today, we welcome the birth of a meme which we will commemorate with a group showing of paul blart mall cop
Have you not seen that masterpiece of cinematic achievement? Sir Kevin James really shined and was able to showcase his acting talents really. The strength and emotion he evoked in every read of the script. Truly a wonderful classic film.
Serious answer: I suffer from exercise-induced narcolepsy. It was really frustrating, embarrassing, and a major source of depression for me. The first time I ever saw Paul Blart Mall Cop I couldn't stop laughing because the protagonist (I think his name was Patrick?) has the exact same condition! It was just nice to not feel so alone in the matter, and my condition actually got considerably better until now I am narcolepsy-free! That movie changed my life.

I'm waiting in anticipation for the day I have a rough day and need a movie to help me out. I'm yet to experience displeasure with life... but I know... when that day comes. I will have paul blart, mall cop ready in my dvd player, waiting... and as a back up, I will have the second paul blart film in another dvd player... but I suspect watching the first one will cure me forever. In fact I think I might watch it now... you know what they say... prevention is better than cure.
Tldr: paul blart mall cop is the condom to the worlds woes.
I don't know the how or why this thread came to exist this way, but I love it. I haven't laughed so hard in the longest time. Thank you all you glorious bastards. I'm gonna go watch Paul Blart: Mall Cop.
I was having a really hard time coping with the death of a great friend, and he really loved the Lord of the Rings Trilogy. After he passed I decided to watch the entire directors cut trilogy, to honor his memory and to ease the pain of losing him. Waste of almost 12 hours of my goddamn life because 5 minutes into the classic Paul Blart Mall Cop had me feeling right as rain

When I was nine, we had kept three dogs on the property which had all been adopted off the streets. As a single child without a computer or tv living in the jungles of Borneo they were all I would spend time with after school. Because they were strays, we had a few nasty incidents where they jumped over the fence and started harassing neighbours. After one neighbour got hurt while being chased by one of our dogs, dad put a leash on them so they would stay in the yard. The next day, however, I came back to find one of my dogs strangled as it tried to jump over the fence all the same. It seems that the lead was a little too long. I found that Paul Blart Mall Cop really came through and showed me that life wasn't really that terrible, even though that troubled time.
Everyone else is giving a silly answer in this thread. Let me level with you OP. My favorite film doesn't come from America, so many people have never heard of it. It's a movie about an Indian man that must protect his store from evil doers. His name is Baul Plart. I love that movie so much.

This was in 2008, when most of us we're getting fucked over.
My department was 'reduced' (or eviscerated). So I lost my job. Along with it my health benefits, company car, 401K contributions, etc. I bought a used car - necessary for working where I live. Then it broke, again, more money, more costs. I quickly realized a pattern: the more I tried to save by cutting corners the more it seemed to bite me in the ass. Get the discount bread. Then it goes bad faster. Get the low interest card. Then there's more service fee's. Seriously the system is fucked, and stacked to keep poor people poor, but I digress.
So there I was, watching my girlfriend pack her bags to go find 'someone worth their time' since I could no longer 'provide' for our fun outings etc(ouch). I had by this point been unemployed for about 6 months - savings were running thin, I had already downsized to a smaller / cheaper apartment, and my diet basically sucked. I was really in a tight spot and realized I needed a job - any job - and NOW. I could figure out the "resume my career" (I worked as a financial advisor) AFTER I had enough to eat, paid rent, and all that.
So, after a long day of applying for jobs, most of them pretty depressing (dishwasher, janitor, security guard, etc), I decided to rent a film. Now, back then we had things called "video stores", which looking back seems already quaint and dated (I actually had Netflix back then, before I lost my job, but they would mail you a dvd. Sounds ludicrous now but thats how they started, folks). So, there I am at the mall near my house going into a blockbuster and perusing the aisles. I pick up something I hadn't seen before, but the pimply-faced kid at the cashier said him and his friends enjoyed it (shit, I almost asked the poor kid if they were hiring).
I realize I'm short on cash for the movie rental, which was something like 7 bucks. I had about half that, almost exactly. Feeling like a total loser, embarrassed that I can't afford a 7 dollar movie rental, and basically wanting to get out of there I murmur something about having to refill my parking meter and needing the change, then head straight the fuck out of there. I recall this shame quite vividly, as there was a attractive woman next to me in line I had been chatting with. When I realized I was too broke for 7 dollars, I was too embarassed to even look at her again and just headed for the door.
So, there I am purposely striding out the door, with each step putting distance between me and reminders of my own downright impoverishment, when I reach into my pocket for my cellphone to check the time. In my pocket is a candybar from Blockbuster, one of this extra-big Oh Henry's that has like 4 little Oh Henry's inside. In my embarassment at the cashier I had forgotten I even put it in there. I am just stopping in my tracks to turn around and return it to Pimple-Kid Jr. when - SLAM. I get tackled by what must have been 300 pounds of small-town American mall justice.
From my dazed and broken prostrate position, looking up, I saw the grim visage of a man truly possessed. There stood Paul Blart, Mall cop. Looking down at me with the ferocity of a thousand burning suns, he asked a singular question that struck me to the core of my being:
"Why didn't you pay for that?"
Wracked with fear, completely subordinated to my primal emotions of shame, guilt, I meekly squeaked out through semi-crushed ribs,
"I.... I didn't have enough... in fact, I need about three fiddy"

Hey op have a real answer.
Not so much a movie but a TV show. The office. The lowest point in my life was when I started going through the divorce with my wife. I binge watched it. Probably twice through.

This is probably gonna get buried, but I think that there's really only one must -watch in the entire history of film.
You know, I had been suffering from a fairly severe and life-threatening illness for years now. It's pretty rare, even now, and the doctors said that they weren't sure what they could do about it. Some sort of solar radiation, they would say. I was given only five years to live, at best.
One night, my girlfriend decided that we'd go back to the first spot I ever took her. Our local movie theatre. I'll never forget that night. We bought our tickets, grabbed our popcorn, and walked down the long aisle to watch one final movie before I passed away.
The film started, and I was immediately enraptured by it. The characters, their struggles, the plot, everything; it reflected who I was. It was who I needed to be. I felt the main character's hand at one point, when he stretched towards the camera. Our fingertips barely grazed one another, but the spark was there.
By the end, I let my tears flow freely. I wanted that moment to go on forever. That one solitary moment of my beloved being wrapped in my arms, of the lights slowly rising and becoming bright, of the murmurs and sounds of the crowd surrounding us. But it wouldn't have been a moment if it lasted forever, would it?
When I went into the doctor's office the following day for my weekly check-up, they were astonished to find that my illness was gone. They couldn't find anything wrong with me. I was the picture of perfect health. There was even a $100 bill in my back pocket that I hadn't noticed. They called it a miracle. I knew what had happened; the movie had cured me. I called my girlfriend and we sobbed together for hours, and then had sex for even longer. The birds sang. The air, the grass, it was all so beautiful to see again. I'll never forget what that movie did for me.
Good Will Hunting seems to be mine, when I'm feeling like I'm not where I should be. It's a damn good story, and really discovers how people let their past haunt them, and the future scares them too much. It's also my favorite Robin Williams' performance. Seems to transcend a different spirit of himself.
When I don't wanna get to sulky, Pulp Fiction or Kill Bill. Can't go wrong with some Tarantino.
I grew up in a pretty abusive household. I used to to daydream a lot to take my mind off of things. I would fantasize about Kevin James being my father. I'd lie in bed and imagine him flying through my window on his magic Segway scooter and tucking me in. He'd give me a kiss on the forehead, and be on his way. Paul Blart is love. Paul Blart is life.
I've been married to my wife for nearly six years now and these past three or so, we've been really trying to start a family. We both decided that it was time to raise a family and settle down and so she stopped taking the pill, and our journey of trying to conceive a child began.
Perhaps journey is not the right word. Stress, anger, and sadness are better words that come to mind when I think of our attempts at trying to conceive. Me and my wife are both extremely family oriented and so my wife's infertility quickly became a huge issue in our relationship and we started fighting frequently. In one of our most heated fights, I got so fed up that I laid it out all out on the table. I told her that I had sometimes regretted marrying her because of her infertility and she began sobbing uncontrollably. She said some pretty hurtful things back to me that I don't feel comfortable mentioning on reddit and essentially brought up the possibility of divorce. My stomach immediately sank and I, in my mid 30s, felt that my life was over. I'd never raise the family I wanted and by the time I'd remarry, if that would even happen, I'd be a middle aged man. Visions of me being the oldest parent at my imaginary child's kindergarten parent-teacher conference began to creep into my mind. I shed tears over the thought that I wouldn't get to see my future son or daughter graduate college, let alone be a grandfather.
I felt that the rest of my life had been written out for me already and I did not like it but at the same time, there was nothing I could do about it. I wished that I could go back in time Marty McFly style and break up me and my wife before we ever got married.
And so as our fight began to wither down and we stopped screaming at each other, my wife said she was going to bed and that I would be sleeping on the couch in the living room. At this point, I had never slept on the living room couch and this fight marked a true low point in our marriage.
That night as I was trying to fall asleep, my mind was racing playing out a million scenarios in which I always end up miserable and unhappy. This was driving me nuts and I could not fall asleep so I turn on the TV. I start watching the first channel that isn't playing a commercial, just something to distract me from my own thoughts. Little did I know that this movie was more than just a distraction. Anyways, as I'm just starting to get into the movie, I hear footsteps coming down the stairs. It's late at night and I hear my wife walk into the kitchen and pour herself a glass of water. She walks out to the living room and says to me, "Are you watching what I think you're watching?" I nod and she sits down on the other side of the couch and starts watching with me. By the end of the movie we were making passionate love on the living room floor and we realized that maybe starting a family wasn't the most important thing in the world. Every since that fight, our marriage has been better than ever. Neither of us is too concerned about the notion of having kids and we are both perfectly content with our lives as is.
I have Andy Fickman to thank for directing this masterpiece of a movie and Kevin James for playing the heroic lead.
Paul Blart Mall Cop, you saved my marriage, my sanity, and my life. Thank you so so much.
I don't know the name of the movie because I couldn't and didn't understand English back then. However, seeing the moving images sure got me through a tough time. Basically, the movie was about believing in yourself despite what others might think of you. It's probably just me and it might be different for others but that's the message that I got from those moving pictures. Anyway, the movie is about a fat police inside a mall.
After failing to lose my virginity due to extreme excitement induced erectile disfunction, I decided to watch Paul Blart: Maul Cop. The movie had a magical effect on my penis. I got an erection that lasted over four hours and had sex with multiple hookers, staying rock hard even between orgasms. I am no longer a virgin due to Paul's good hearted nature and voluptuous stature.
I was going through some mild depression for a long while because I was trying to get over this crush I had on a girl. We liked each other a lot, but she didn't want to go through a long distance relationship, since we were both about to be college freshman.
I didn't think I would ever meet a girl like her ever again. I'd thought that the person that I would best be fit with could never be outmatched, and I would have to deal with this fact of mine. However, one line really struck out to me in this film. In the last scene, when reflecting on the utter despair he had to go through on the island, only to be met with more despair when he finally came back home, he goes on to say:
"I'm so sad that I lost Kelly...but I was so grateful that she was with me on that island...
...and I know what I have to do now...gotta keep breathing...because tomorrow the sun will rise...
...who knows what the tide could bring..."
That last line really resonated with me. In an instant, almost all of my worries and thoughts about this girl were completely gone. I was able to relate a lot to Jack, and I sorta thought, if he was able to go through all of this despair and still remain optimistic about the world, then why can't I?
From then on, I turned back to my happy old self, doing things to make me happy, and moving on from my routine of dwelling on this girl. Because as dark as the night may seem, the sun never ceases to rise again.

I don't quite remember the name of the move but I see the images vividly as shopping mall is taken over by a gang of organized crooks, and it was up to a mild-mannered security guard to save the day. Truly life changing.
I got in a car wreck in 2010 and my best friend in the passenger seat died. I had been severely depressed for nearly a year and found no joy in anything in my day to day life. I saw some funny gifs on the internet of Kevin James dressed as a security guard and inquired more about it. I found out it was from a movie and dropped everything and sat down and watched Paul Walker Mall Cop. The laughs that movie gave me truly gave me a helping hand in climbing out of my depression.
Well buddy I just wish Paul Walker Mall Cop is better than Paul Blart Mall Cop

I had just been diagnosed with cancer. My girlfriend moved out while I was at chemo.

But after that long, long day, I watched Paul Blart: Mall Cop and I knew immediately that everything would be okay.

My girlfriend of 2 and a half years just recently broke up with me. It's been really hard because in addition to her being my best friend, she blocked me on all social media, and I still miss the heck out of her. I still remember our time together in every facet of my life and each activity I hold dear (cooking, sleeping) reminds me of her. When the breakup happened, I fooled myself into thinking that I was ok and that I could move on instantly, but the facade only lasted for one day. My friends were with me, trying to help me forget about her but as soon as I lay down in my bed, I looked at the space where she used to lie at my side, and I shed a tear. This was the bed we first had sex in, shared each others lives, held each other, reassured each other, fought with each other, reconciled with each other. As I lay down, teared up and stewing in my thoughts, restless and nervous and alone, I opened my laptop, seeking some fleeting solace. I opened a note that my ex-girlfriend and I made about our favorite movies and looked at the top option, a smile appearing on my cracked lips for the first time that day: Paul Blart: Mall Cop.
This will probably get lost since I'm late to the party:
Cast Away. I was going through a divorce and my mom was being hospitalized for mental illness. The movie's message of not giving up hope, that the tide may turn and God/the Universe may send you a sail, really hit home at the time. I was feeling as if I had absolutely no options or hope. The movie made me realize it could be much much worse, and you never really know how circumstances can change. You can't control the external world, nor can you really predict it. So have faith and hope and patience and do your best. God or the Universe may just throw you a sail when you least expect it. Really great movie.
After seeing this thread I couldn't believe I hadn't seen this movie... After now taking the time to watch this, just wow, PBMC is one of the most moving emotional movies I have ever had the pleasure to see. A true masterpiece.

With all the police brutality going on in the real world, I can only find comfort in Blart's Mall Cop.
After I was told I had AIDS, I was really down in a funk. I started doing drugs and my life wasn't going well. Then I blended my blu-ray of Paul Blart: Mall Cop into a fluid mixture, that I injected straight into my veins.
Not only did it cure me of AIDS, it got rid of my drug-addiction and gave me superhuman segway-riding skills and a mustache of pure testosterone.
Oh I see what's going on here. This is one of them advertised promotional posts. Well you may think I'm going to say Paul Blart: Mall Cop 2 too but I'll have you know you're goddamn right.

My wife left me last year, my dog died shortly after. I lost my job because of the grieving. I decided to watch one last movie before i hung myself from my bedroom ceiling fan. God bless Paul Blart Mall cop and Kevin James . They saved me that day.

Was about to commit suicide.. Noose was on my neck and everything... Suddenly something turned on the television. It was Paul Blart Mall Cop. It changed my life from there on :')
I was an inch away from blasting my brains out. Then I hear a feint rumble in the distance, coming from the living room. It's one of those movies on TV. This fat guy was rolling around a shopping center on one of those scooter things. That made me drop my gun and love life again. I forget what it was called though.
His parents got murdered down an alley and ever since he had been living with his guardian and went into a depressing phase. He said he watched this movie about a cop cleaning up the cities' malls and really helped him overcome his depression. I can't seem to recall the name of the movie though.

We have a new Batman movie: The VHS rises.
But seriously, first line looks like Bruce Wayne's life story.
I have the audio to "Paul Blart: Mall Cop" as one long MP3 file, and I listen to it on my commutes. Helps me get pumped up on days at work I'm not looking forward to. Get out in front of it, you know?
I remember being in a but of a 'rut' in life and seeing 'True Lies' (Schwarzenegger).
For some inexplicable reason it was the greatest audience ever. An adorable middle-aged lady and her elderly father beside us got people 'infected' with giddiness and every time she'd giggle or squeal in surprise it got everyone going.
People cheered out loud, people were applauding, I can't explain it but 500 people were just 'in the zone' at the same time. At the end people were applauding as they stood up.
There was some crazy 'magical touch' that had on the night, the entire crowd, our group and in a very real way that knocked me out of my 'rut'. I left feeling refreshed, renewed, excited again.
One Paul blart mall cop reference in this thread? Ok kind of funny.. The second Paul blart comment got a chuckle. The third Paul blart cracked me up (please Kevin James don't read this as motivation).. This is out of control.
So I guess Paul Blart: Mall Cop is the Darude - Sandstorm of movies?

Where The Heart Is. Its a great movie about people who lives simple every day lives just getting themselves through personal hardships, helping friends, experiencing betrayal and lost of loved ones and the main character learns and grows in a very positive light. At one point shes talking to her friend who was jusy beaten after walking on on her boyfriend raping her children and the main character gives this beautiful mini speach on the people in the world and the people we come across. Its stayed with me ever since and has really helped me.
Its a great movie. Give it a try.

I had just gotten home from my grandmother's funeral. She was a sweet lady, always making me cookies and making me feel loved. Driving home from the funeral was one of the worst drives of my life, also considering that I almost hit 3 people because I couldn't see through my tears. When I got home, I noticed something on the counter. 'Could it be' I thought? It was. It was Nana's favorite old time movie that me and her would always watch. Paul Blart: Church Courthouse Cop.

A couple of years ago I had just gotten out of this relationship that was really bad for me. One night I decided that I needed to go out for the night after having stayed in my apartment without coming out for about a week. I grabbed my wallet and my keys and just started driving. After a while I stopped at a club and figured that the best thing to do is tty and meet a girl for a quick one night stand. I walk in and I see this beautiful blonde woman who seems to have been drinking for quite a while before I had gotten there, she leads me to the dance floor and I have the time of my life. Eventually she grabs my hand and says let's get out of here. We get a cab and 10 minutes later we are sitting on her couch and things are getting really heavy. She says that she has to go to her room to find something sexy to wear for me. I'm left sitting on the couch when I decide to start watching TV. I turn it on and yo will never guess what was on. Jurassic fucking park. I watch it for about twenty minutes until she comes back out and we finally get to do our Paul Blart mall cop roleplay.
So seriously, Paul Blart: Mall Cop is my actual answer. A few days before its opening weekend, my father died. I flew back to Louisiana from Colorado only to find my father in hospice care and not responding. When my family arrived, he drifted away and had a very calm but impacting death. The days after was spent with my brother kind of just wondering what the next steps were. Where would we spread his ashes, how will his children feel, is this going to feel better? My brother and I were really down so we decided to go see a movie as a family (mother, brother, sister-in-law, two nieces). My brother suggested that we need to watch Paul Blart, because he "really just needed to laugh." We all sat down, midway up the theater, middle of the aisle. Needless to say, premium seating. Nothing made me happier to see my brother and his two daughters laughing until they cried. I sat eating my Red Vines rehashing the events of the past two days. Thinking about my father, the strong man he once was, now cremated in a box filled with the grinded down bones into sand sitting in my mothers lap as she sipped her diet Coke and let out a bit of non-forced laughter finally. So yeah, Paul Blart actually helped my family overcome tragedy. #BlartSaves
This thread is the future of reddit. One day it will only be filled with trolls with nothing to talk about, but little gags. Kind of like Tumblr. Until then, I give you Paul Blart.

WHY IS EVERY ANSWER PAUL BLART MALL COP?!?!!?!?!?!?!!?!!!?!
All these people saying Paul Blart: Mall Cop is great. I'll have you know that my father watches it 24/7. My mother works as a mall cop for hours and has to come home to it again. His Paul Blart: Mall Cop addiction is tearing my family apart.
This is going to sound like a troll answer but it's not. Spring breakers and project x helped me overcome the dreaded event of college graduation and no longer being able to party all the time. I watch one of those movies and drink some cocktails and I feel like it's old times again.
As sad as it sounds, booze. I drink beyond exces on the weekends to try about not feel how sore I am from work. I can't work with out thinking about how relaxed I'll be after a beer
Not a movie I am sorry, I'm sorry, but the Uncharted games and Last of Us helped me through a really hard time. The story tell in those games transported me away from my life for awhile when I really need it.
I'll never forget October 2010. My girlfriend and I went to different universities and both thought the long distance relationship thinkg could work, but it didn't, I found out from a mutual friend that she had been seeing a guy for a few weeks before she called it off with me. I was in a new place trying to make new friends but I just wanted to be alone. That semester was really rough and I didn't go out too often and kinda kept to myself mostly. The turning point was when I realized that it was friday night 10pm and I had been playing computer games and browsing reddit for the last 4 hours. I went to the dorm lobby to see what was going on and remembered that that friday was movie night. A bunch of people were crowded around the tv kinda watching the movie but more cracking stupid jokes and talking. I'll never forget the night Paul Blart Mall Cop helped me get out of my shell.
I was 18 when my girlfriend left me. That same weekend Paul Blart: Mall Cop hit theaters. Made my weekend so much more bearable.

I'm just going to leave this here:
About two weeks ago, I was recovering from a laparoscopic cholecystectomy. The procedure's not too bad, but it was my second day post-op and the pain was getting the better of me. I popped a Norco and prayed to the narcotic gods that the pain would subside.
My boyfriend came to visit me at my parents house. Not being able to anything physically (or mentally, really) demanding, I requested we pick out a movie from the Redbox at the grocery store. When I tried to get out of the car, I cried. I felt so helpless. Physically, I was incapacitated, reduced to nothing more than a very slow, hunched over shell of who I normally was. Mentally, I felt imprisoned in a temporarily useless body.
Once inside the store, I began flipping through the selections, listlessly.
Until I happened upon Paul Blart Mall Cop on BluRay.
I don't really know what compelled me to rent it, but I did, recalling that it was an easy-to-watch film. My boyfriend didn't comment on my selection. My mother, however, refused to watch it, remembering not enjoying it the first time around. I returned it the next day without watching it.
I was born and raised in The People's Republic of China. As you may know, there is a spiritual practice known as Falun Gong, which is outlawed in China, bcuz Communist Party is a corrupt whorehouse savior of the people. I was a practitioner of Falun Gong, and when the police found out, they busted me and my family.
Chinese Death Camps jail, is not a particularly nice place to be. They killed my mother and father and forcibly transplanted my organs.
Life was rough, but one day the sadistic dogs Prison Guards, decided to show us some Propaganda from The Cultural Revolution documentaries. Unfortunately for them, an act of The Allmighty God, aka. Kevin James, turned the propaganda into the greatest film ever created: Paul Blart: Mall Cop!
The beautiful piece of cinema made me realize everything is possible, so I escaped from Capitalist Communist China, and now I'm a white mall cop in MURICA`!
THANK YOU KEVIN JAMES, YOU SAVED MY LIFE!!!!!
I was sitting there, staring at the ceiling. Flashbacks of it kept racing through my head: the gnashing of limbs, the fileting of skin, and the potatoes thrown at us as well. It was a massacre, and no one survived but me and my hamster. My whole family was gone in a matter of minutes. Recovering from a massacre is no fun, let me tell you. Things were getting pretty heavy. I was drinking, I was driving, even my hamster somehow had a tiny bottle of what looked like alcohol in his cage, indicating he was headed down a dark path himself.
After losing my job, mostly because my boss was in the massacre as well, I was running low on funds. I hit rock bottom when I reached the last drop of beer and all I was left with was a cold bottle that lacked any sort of comfort. Things were getting nihilistic; my hamster had reached his last tiny sip as well, and was visibly hopping around in fury.
Then, out of nowhere, a blu-ray DVD gets slipped under my door.
It's Paul Blart: Mall Cop.
A moment of quiet enlightenment overtakes me. The kind gift of a random stranger gave me just enough of a nudge that I suddenly felt like everything would be okay. I also noticed that my beer was suddenly refilled. Another magical effect of this fantastic movie, I suppose. I sold the movie for $2 at a used pawn shop and bought a bottle of beer with the very last $2 to my name. This was all actually very recent, I think I'm homeless now.

Japanese drama and anime was a way to temporarily escape my reality (like many forms of art are): I busted my ass in school in engineering only to be jobless from 2008 to 2010 at age 21.
I would just sit in front of the computer all day watching these shows to entertain myself. One prevalent theme in Japanese stories are youth and passion, students don't know what the future holds but they keep trying hard in school while enjoying friendship, falling in love for the first time, participating even if you suck at something.
I love watching them, and decided that it was great irony to love these dramas then turn around to completely ignore the values it tried to convey. I amped up and became more aggressive with my job search, when I'm not doing that i went out and spent time with people etc. I stopped being a hermit essentially.

My entire life was in ruins. I lost a job that I had held for more than 16 years and as a result my wife filed for divorce and took custody over both our two wonderful daughters. My single mother also became extremely ill and eventually died of pancreatic cancer around the same time I got fired. My entire life had gone from fairly good to downright hopeless in the span of just one week. January of 2009 was a really bad time in my life and at times i had considered suicide as the only option to end my pain and suffering. However on January 16 something amazing happened to me that changed my life forever. On January 16 2009 Paul Blart Mall Cop was released in theatres and I went out to go see it just on a whim because it looked really funny in the trailers. That afternoon after walking out of the theatre I had gained a completely new outlook on life. There is just something about a morbidly obese man riding around on segway that triggers something deep inside of you y'know? The feeling is hard to describe but that evening I got call from my manager saying that he wanted hire me again for a position above the one I had previously held with almost double the salary. Upon getting this news I called up my ex-wife and told her. We got back together the next week and have been living together happily ever since. Unfortunately my mother was still dead but I like to think that she is somewhere up there still watching over me and looking out for me just like when she was alive. All I can say is thank you Paul Blart Mall Cop, your film is an amazing work of art that had an profound effect on my life for the much better. So thank you.
16th birthday, girlfriend broke up with me a week prior, great grandmother died the day after that. I was the most depressed I've ever been. The only thing that helped he recover was Paul blart mall cop

Not a movie, but Parks and Recreation is such a hilarious and heart-felt show. I watched and re-watched it a lot during my depression last year. Normal sitcoms seem to build up on the irony of how things seem to be going so right for these characters that you've come to love, only to have that opportunity snatched away from them, all for comedic effect. Sure, I like a lot of sitcoms that follow that formula, but it's much more enjoyable to see characters that are positive and able to overcome trials, as well as go out of their way for the people they love and make a positive impact in their lives. I love that show :)
YES!! I just started watching it this past winter on Netflix and it really improved my mood. I'd been sick for months with SAD/IBS flare-ups but Parks and Rec made me feel a lot better. It helps too because it takes place in my home state (Indiana) and that made me feel at home.
Sorry about your health issues, but I'm glad you also got into Parks and Rec, and that it was able to lift your spirits. Keep watching, it's fantastic and there are so many amazing moments and lovable characters in that show! :)
I had been going through a rough time and was in dire need of something beautiful in my life. Enter Kevin James in his riveting performance as mall cop Paul Blart in Paul Blart: Mall Cop. It even got me gold for this post
Hearing all of these stories of redemption is really giving me hope. Last week both of my parents were killed after being run over by a mustachioed mall security guard on a Segway. Can anyone recommend a film that might give me the strength to go on?
I was living in west philly at the time. I had some drama with the local gang and my mom thought it be best for me to live with family elsewhere, she was tied to her job. So off I went, missed my mom like crazy. I mean my aunt and uncle are cool and all but I really missed her. I put on a movie one night, I forget the name, about a cop at a shopping mall, I filled the house with laughter. I went to a shopping mall later, and said 'smell ya later' to the cabbie.
Swingers. I was having some really bad girl problems. I know how cliche that sounds, but my brother found out about my issues and sent it to me. Being an angst-y 18 year old, it was exactly what I needed to realize how inexperienced I was when it came to relationships.

More like a show. Scrubs helped cheer me up after a rough breakup. I powered through that show pretty quickly to keep away the sadness.
It's not really a movie, but it's a series on Netflix.
Merlin, the BBC series
I started watching it in early March of 2013 and at first I really didn't like it because of how different it was from traditional tellings of the story of Merlin and Arthur. It grew on me though. I liked the story telling and the actors were awesome. I began watching it more frequently and got to the last season somewhere in the first few weeks of April. One rainy Sunday I was playing dnd with some friends when I got a text message from my dad asking when I would be home. I told him it might be late and he asked for a time. I didn't really know what time so I told him I wasn't sure. He called me up and said that, even though he wanted to tell me in person, my grandpa had died. My grandpa was the person in my life that was the closest to me. He taught me everything I knew and I loved him more than anything in the world. I drove home in tears. I zombie'd my way through a single day of school and then rushed down south to my mother's home. I spent a week helping make arrangements and taking care of things. Since I knew the man the most, I was able to show them things that they had missed.
In my free time I watched Merlin, and it hit upon me how similar my grandpa was to Gaius, the main character's mentor. After the funeral was done I watched the last four episodes and sobbed. I still cry when I think about it sometimes.

There was a time when I was like fourteen where I felt really depressed about a lot of things and "Spider-Man 2" and "Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban" were really uplifting for me. Especially since I could relate to Peter and Harry ; just your feelings taking over you and screwing up every aspect of your life, but managing to admit them and finding that balance and happiness in life.
Also, one afternoon after High School, I came home feeling really sad about something. I tuned in the TV to see what was on and came across "Zoolander", which I hadn't really watched before. And my whole day was made by the gas station scene.
And there was that one time a few years ago when "Paul Blart: Mall Cop" saved me from committing suicide and directed my life towards a career in mall security.

Good Will Hunting. It helped me through so many things, and it helped me get over my grandmother's death, but that doesnt compare to Paul Blart Mall Cop. That movie, and Kevin James' amazing role, literally cured my cancer and herpes. Its magical.
I had a really rough weekend, but I found myself at the movie theaters this Sunday morning and saw a delight. Really boosted my day, Paul Blart Mall Cop 2 was a miracle
Silver Linings Playbook shows that everyone is "crazy" and neurotic in their own unique way. It inspired me to keep working to get my life where I want it. I also took up swing dancing on an impulse because of Silver Linings Playbook, and now I have a new fun hobby that helps me meet people while having fun.

Pink Floyd's The Wall. When I was younger I thought it was just a really cool album. Then I got a little older and thought it was just a really cool album to get high to. Once I was an "adult", and shit started falling apart around, I realized that it was about me. Mind blown, as the kids like to say these days.
It's a Wonderful Life. One Christmas Eve I was wildly depressed by myself and watched that film and ended up just losing it. Made me realize that things could always be worse and to be really fucking happy and thankful for what you've got.

I used to be really bad at Rock Band and my friends made fun of me. One day, I stumbled upon Paul Blart: Mall Cop and it changed my life. I can 100% Detroit Rock City on expert guitar and all my friends stare on in awe. I owe my popularity to Kevin James.
My parents had recently gotten a divorce so it wasn't great. I went to the movies to see Paul Blart: Mall Cop. I had to sit in the front row because the theater was so crowded but it was great. It was the first movie I bought on itunes. It helped me out.

Honestly, and you'll probably find this weird, Star Wars Episode III. That movie came out in 2005 and I was going through a rough time in my life. At that point in my life, I had lost most, if not all, of my childhood friends. We had grown apart and they made new friends. I went to a small private school, though, so I was around the same 25 kids for 11 years. I tried to change myself to fit in with others and get my older friends back. I changed the music I listened to, I became interested in different hobbies, all that kind of stuff, but it didn't really work. I didn't have any close friends and I was generally unhappy.
Now, I was a huge Star Wars fan as a kid. Like, obsessive. I had seen all of the original movies 400 times each by the time I was 6. The premiers of Episodes I and II reinvigorated my passion for the franchise. Slowly, though, over the years, I watched the movies less, played with the toys less, played less of the video games, thought about it less...that is, until 2004.
While I was having my identity crisis, Star Wars came back into my life. That first teaser trailer still gives me chills when I watch it. I had the DVDs with the Clone Wars animated show and they had this trailer on them. I must have watched it a hundred times. As the year progressed and the premier became closer and closer, I only became more obsessed. I would watch VidDocs on the Star Wars website on the making of the movie, I would doodle pictures of Darth Vader, I would listen to the Star Wars soundtracks...I even bought the Episode III audiobook when it came out prior to the movie and listened to the whole thing multiple times. I loved it. I couldn't wait for the movie. On May 18th, 2005 I went to the movie theater with my dad, brother, and my dad's best friend for the midnight premier. I was in costume as Darth Vader. The atmosphere was electric. Everyone was excited. I had a lot of fun that night and I would go on to see the movie in theaters 5 or 6 more times.
I wouldn't say the actual 2 and a half hours of film helped me, but everything about it and surrounding it reintroduced me to who I was. I embraced the geek in me and made it core to my personality. I would talk openly about it, made new friends who were also obsessed with Star Wars, and it made me genuinely happy. The movie helped me realize that it's more important to be myself and love who I was than to be concerned about how others might view me and if they might not like my actions or interests. I would say the movie was important in making me the person I am today. So much of my personality is based around the ideals I formed during the build up to that movie. Many of the friends I made afterwards are still my friends now. While I am not always obsessed with Star Wars (it doesn't take up my everything thought and action), there is always something I am passionate about. Some interest or hobby that gives me something to invest myself in. Now that a new Star Wars movie is coming out again, that same fire in my chest has returned and I cannot absorb enough about it.
If you are going through a rough time, find something you are passionate in. Find something you love and give yourself over to it. Whether it is a person, a TV show, a sport, a game, a hobby...embrace it. At the very least, it helps distract you from the unfortunate realities of life. Watching all 9 seasons of a show I just discovered really helps keep me from dwelling on the negatives.
Sorry not too many people took your post seriously, but I hope you see this and it helps a little.
I can't remember the name, but it was a great movie really got me out of a hurdle. It's about this guy that works at a mall, one of the actors in the movie was Kevin James. Anyone know the name?
Christ, sometimes I hate you reddit. Meet the Robinsons helped me through a difficult time of family problems, though the lack of Kevin James might put people off.

I want to see there will be blood remade with Kevin James.
My best friend/roommate gave me season 1-3 of how I met your mother as a gift right after I had broken up with my girlfriend. I was in no mood to watch tv but I watched the first couple of episodes to humour him. Then I binge watched every season and decided I wanted to go out and talk to girls like Barney and Ted. That show single handedly helped me get out of my deep depression and get myself back out there.
This is going to sound super weird but anyway. I was going through a patch where my business was failing due to outside interference and partnership differences. Basically I had no idea where I was going to get money from. My body and mind went into paralysis effectively where I could barely walk or sleep.
For some really fucked up reason, watching Percy Jackson and The Lightning Thief comforted me. I don't know why but if was the only time that the feelings of utter dread and despair would part temporarily.
I know it's a really shit movie but it holds a special place in my heart because of the above.
I was going through somewhat of the same existential crisis I had been for many years and was getting sick of feeling helpless, ineffectual and insignificant when I saw Tarkovsky's Stalker and suddenly felt a connection to someone else who had struggled with the same issues but managed to put them into perspective. Straight afterwards I watched his Solaris (not the Soderbergh version) and also found it comforting in its bleak but honest view of relationships. But it wasn't until I saw Paul Blart: Mall Cop that I was really able to put my thoughts all together and comprehend what Tarkovsky was getting at.

My girlfriend and I were contemplating seeing either Paul Blart Mall Cop this weekend or the new Avengers.
I bought some lottery tickets, I lost on all of them. The saddest part is that the money was given to me to buy Paul Blart Mall Cop. After the lottery results came in my wife left me for my boss (who happens to own that movie), she took our dog and two cats. The judge said that I needed to pay maximum alimony and now my wages are being garnished. Out of all those, the one thing that has me in tears is that I never got to see Paul Blart Mall Cop...
Did you know that if you watch Paul Blart Mall Cop backwards your wife leaves you, you are investigated by the IRS, your life turns to crap and then you get cancer and die?
I got this. I actually died a few years back and went to heaven. Being a guardian angel and all, I was just doing my duties and looking over the human that I was responsible for. It just so happened that she decided to go to a movie. I didn't pay attention to what movie she chose to see because I was too busy flirting with the other angels in the theater. Finally, the movie started. It was Paul Blart: Mall cop. It literally brought me back to life. I owe my life to Kevin James and his mustache now.
When my dog died, it was the saddest day of my life. A few days later, I rented Paul Blart: Mallcop which helped me a lot. Thank you, Kevin James may your ability to joke and heal never fade

This is honestly the greatest fucking post I've seen on reddit.
Good job!
Here's to the soon to be top scoring link of all time!
We'll celebrate with a screening of Paul Blart: Mall Cop!
I was going through severe depression after my nine children were torn apart by rabid dogs before my eyes. But then I saw Paul Blart Mall Cop and my life was filled with joy. I haven't looked back since.
Oh no hope I'm not too late. Anyway I would say Spider Man 2 was a movie the movie that helped me deal with the stress of moving far away from all of my friends. My depression would still linger though until finally Paul Blart: Mall Cop came out and took all that sadness away.
Paul Blart: Mall Cop helped Chuck Norris through all his hard times.

We just finished filming Paul Blart Mall Cop 3: Mall of the Worlds. I know this film is gonna to be a disaster. We just barely made the kickstarter fund, and Kevin James yells at me, the director, for wasting his time. Half the crew called it quits and I have to play the other roles along with Paul Blart. I was close to ending my life. Then I remembered I had Paul Blart 1&2 (studio version) on my iPad and it changed my life forever. I am working with a god and I am his director. Now my life has turned around and landed a directing job for Star Wars X: Unleash the Force.
How dare you all laugh while watching the masterpiece that was Paul Blart: Mall Cop. I was crying from awe throughout the masterpiece. PBMC2 on the other hand was hilarious.
I don't know the name of it, but it was about a shopping mall taken over by a gang of organized crooks, and it was up to a mild-mannered security guard to save the day.
My girlfriend of two years left me for another guy. I felt like i had hit rock bottom. I began seeing the two of them everywhere, kissing and cuddling and jt just broke my heart. I couldn't bring myself to go out anymore. I just sat inside all day watching tv and drinking. Then one day Paul Blart: Mall Cop came on. As soon as it started i was engrossed in this masterpiece. Kevin James gave ne the courage to go out and live again. Thanks to Paul Blart: Mall Cop i now have a beautiful Brazilian girlfriend and wonderful friends
There was this diamond in the rough movie called Paul Blart Mall Cop. It instilled this feeling of self-worth that will always be with me from the day I watched it.

I died on my couch, but Paul Blart Mall Cop was on TV and I woke up about five minutes later.
After moving to a new place in America, I didn't know any English and was depressed. I somehow ended up watching Paul Blart Mall Cop and it gave me a new life.

not exactly a movie, but a tv series. i had just stopped drinking and kept having anxiety attacks etc at night. Funnily enough Cheers had nightly marathons and that somehow helped me get some sleep.
I just had my heart torn out by my ex on my birthday. I came home from work and my roommate had just bought super troopers. He said it would cheer me up but I wasn't in the mood. As I didn't want to be alone I sat there with him as he popped it in the ps2. I tried hard not to laugh and stay miserable but the opening scene had me laughing and I didn't stop until it was over.
I was severely depressed last year and my mum was getting really sick. Asked all my friends what movies to watch to cheer me up. A few helped but then a stranger on the internet suggested a really great movie called Paul Blart Mall Cop. It was extremely helpful. Helped cure my depression and healed my mum. Would recommend.

Ya'll are fucking idiots. Hivemind to the extreme: god forbid we give an answer that furthers the conversation.
I remember one time I was heartbroken after a long and painful breakup. I popped in a random DVD that my friend had left over and it was great. I remember wishing I had a Paul Blart Mall Cop to watch my heart.
Screw these guys: what really gets me through tough times is that really cute movie, the one with the talking pig that thinks it's a dog? It had a sequel...
After I died, I was so depressed. The only thing that would cheer me up was Paul Blart Mall Cop. Today, I'm still dead, but at least I can enjoy Paul Blart Mall Cop everyday.
The Babadook
It's amazing that this post made it to the front page when I myself was having a depressive night. So while the world was telling me to fuck off I put on some scary movies. It is 4 in the morning, I have work in 4 hours and some how I feel good. I won't tomorrow but right now, I feel good. It's nice feeling good.. I hope OP has an amazing tomorrow.
I really enjoyed Observe and Report, staring Kevin James.

What other character has survived war, torture, infidelity, schizophrenia, despair, disgruntled co-workers (the list goes on) besides Paul Blart in Mall Cop?
I had chronic constipation so I saw my doctor who told me to watch Paul Blart: Mall Cop. If I'm still bloated he advised me to watch Paul Blart: Mall Cop 2.
Theres a lot of people givinf bs answers on Here, ill be real woth you mean, paul blart mall cop is what keeps me going day to day, i really am grateful for it.
Late on this one, but I've been looking through the comments and havent yet seen this one mentioned (surprisingly enough) but 'Paul Blart: Mall Cop' has helped me through a pretty rough breakup. It was difficult but I'm a better man for it.
can someone explain the recurring paul blart joke?

Thank you Reddit, seeing all the heart warming replies in this thread has changed my life. I'm no longer ashamed to say what I truly love. Paul Blart Mall Blart ; Blart-Blart
Well, off to watch Paul blart mall cop now. It's been staring at me everyone I go on Netflix and Iv been intentionally avoiding it but seeing as it is apparently ocular MDMA I'll give it a shot
Watching Kate winslet's character grow and move on past unrequited love really helped me get through a terrible break up. The quotes in that movie are beautiful.
I don't remember the name but I was really stressed all week and then I stumbled upon it. It was about a young blonde who was getting furiously rammed from behind by a monstrous black cock.
I feel lame admitting this, but I was going through a bad breakup when 500 Days of Summer and Forgetting Sarah Marshall gave me a few laughs and a little hope.
Oh, and uh Paul Blart Mall Cop.

I have been going through a rough time for a while now...every year for the last 5 years ive lost one of my beloved dogs that ive had my entire conscious childhood and about 3 years ago (unbelievable to think its been that long) i lost one of my best friends to a freak accident. To top it all off my uncle is terminally ill and i have a lot if anxiety worrying about him passing away. Truly so much sorrow in life sometimes i wonder if it will ever end! Will i ever be happy like i was? Well the other day im bored and feeling a little depressed, i decided to go catch a movie and see if it'd cheer me up. Bought a ticket to monkey kingdom because the commercials on tv looked very uplifting and i knew the proceeds went to help preserve animal habitats and protect endangered species. The 10 min of previews roll by, i got my popcorn and dr pepper, ready to enjoy myself for once and bam, Mother fucking paul blart: mall cop 2 starts playing (i went into the wrong theater). At this point i was so fed up and irritated with myself that i couldnt even find the right theater(how stupid i am) i just wanted to go home and cry, but instead i stayed and the film legitimately turned my life around. It was a comedic masterpiece that only kevin james could imagine. I was transported to my childhood without a care in the world.
never watched the movie before, i just rolled my eyes at how bad this movie is going to be when it comes out, but this thread inspired me to watch it now.
I am glad this is the internet and I am able to be open and honest. After my grandmother passed away, Paul Blart Mall Cop helped me cope. I mean, my grandmother is still dead, but now I am laughing.

I actually just quit my job recently to pursue my dream of becoming a mall cop. The training is tough and the pay isn't great, but a little film that was released in 2009 has and continues to inspire me. Night after night I watch this film and I know that the hard work and training to become a mall cop is worth it. The main character in that film is my hero and I hope to one day show as much enthusiasm toward being a mall cop as he does. Plus Seth Rogen is really funny.
I was always bullied in school for being gay. It was the hardest time in my life. One day, I couldn't take it anymore. I was set on suicide. I went into the garage while my parents weren't home. I turned the car on and was about to close the garage door when I got a text from my best friend: "Yo, check out Paul Blart. Best movie ever." I decided to give it one more shot.
Best decision I ever made. Kevin James cheered me out of a depression which would have killed me. As for my friend, I married him and we adopted three children and we have a fantastic relationship. However, we both agree that if we had the chance, we'd marry Kevin James and his beautiful mustachioed face.

Every morning I wake up and double palm slam a vhs into the slot. Its Paul Blart. And right then and there I start riding my segway alongside the main character. Paul Blart. I do every move and I do every move hard, making vrmming sounds while I slam some mall thief bastards or even when I mess up technique. Not many can say they defended a mall all on their own. I can. I say it and I say it out loud to people in my college class. And all they do is prove people in college can be immature jerks. And I've learned all the lines and I've learned how to make myself in my apartment less lonely by shouting them all two hours including wind down every morning. Then I lift.
A few years ago I was struggling to come to terms with the possibility that God does not exist. It was really one of the lowest periods of my life, and had me questioning everything about my existence. Talking to a close friend about my problem, he handed me a copy of his Paul Blart DVD and said it would answer all my questions. That day I watched it, and then re-watched it for forty days and forty nights, and it was during this period that I discovered God does exist, and his name is Kevin James. Delving into his sacred works only confirmed this belief. His benevolent care for the elderly in King of Queens, the ability to communicate and befriend animals in Zookeeper, how this 'man' can bang 10s even though hes a hard 4 in every single piece of majestic art he is in cements his divinity. Even what he does in his personal life reflects this. Him telling service workers not to look at him only shows him trying to protect mortals from looking their savior in the eyes. However, Paul Blart, his New Testament to man, reveals his love for American consumer (the chosen people). Showing the omnipresent and omnipotent Kevin James preventing his flock from committing sin in a way for the entire family to love.
It's hard... because my dream was always to do Parkour. I love the idea of free running, moving around uninhibited, leaping from building to building, perhaps from the second floor of someplace onto a decorative carousel, up to another walkway. But alas, I am too out of shape, I sometimes think. I have a little bit of a gut I haven't been able to kick yet, a little arthritis. How can a guy like me enjoy parkour? Well it turns out the answer is Paul Blart Mall Cop. It shows me not only sick Parkour, but that fat guys CAN succeed.
Hi found Paul Bart mall cop to be an inspiring film. It really helped when my pet lama ran away from home. I was so upset but seeing that chubby hero on a seg way inspired me to get one of my own, which I used to hunt down my llama which it turned out had run away to the nearest mall

This thread. I got in a really bad fight with my girlfriend and this thread is funny as fuck. I love you reddit, and I also love Paul Blart: Mall Cop.
My cat died the other day but I didn't even notice because I was so enthralled with that timeless comedy Paul Blart: Mall Cop that I didn't notice until 2 hours ago. CHAAAA YA BLINKED YA BLINKED.
At the start of the year I got dumped. I was torn up to shit, depressed as fuck. Watched Eternal Sunshine of a Spotless Mind, that helped a bit.
Then I watched Paul Blart: Mall Cop. That's a real good movie, really changed my outlook on life.
Drinking Buddies helped me through a break up. The movie was so real and seemed to be authentic. That helped me stay level, until I saw Paul Blart Mall Cop. Nothing compares to that movie. The camera angles and cinematic appeal are out of this world. Not only did it cheer me up, but it also helped me realize my ambitions and I finally got up the nerve to ask my current girlfriend out. If Paul Blart can save the mall, I knew that I could ask her out. I've never been happier.
Cast Away. For good reasons. Sometimes when I feel a certain way ill watch it late at night by myself alone with my thoughts and the movie. I dunno something about that movie gets me.
Edit: Right. Paul Blart Mall Cop. Yea sorry I guess my answer was fucking stupid before. How dare I suggest that stupid piece of shit movie that wont make anyone feel better about themselves in a very serious way. I meant to say Paul Blart Mall Cop. My bad OP.

I had a pretty rough childhood, but I always held out hope that something better would come one day. No Ms. Honey ever came to rescue me from that hole, but that movie taught me that sometimes a hero will come and help make a person's life better -- and when you have an opportunity to be that hero, you take it.
After watching this spectacular movie that I can't recommend more, I regained movement into my paralyzed body, brought my miscarried baby back to life, and even made the man who raped me un-rape me. Thank you Paul Blart.

I was on the brink of taking my own life. I called a suicide hotline and they convinced me to purchase Paul Blart: Mall Cop. They said this is the number one antidepressant in the country atm, and they are seeing great results in field studies. I obliged and I have never looked back. My life has completely changed for the better. I get up to around 6 hours of Blart in me a day. I'm working my way down to just 3, which is the average script dosage. I'm feeling confident and emotionally able in every aspect of life.

The movie helped me get through a rough breakup from a girl I had been together with for 5 years just to be cheated on in the end. I consider it the ultimate male breakup movie.
I can't believe it hasn't been mentioned yet, but my all time favorite movie that never fails to put me in a great mood is Paul Blart: Mall Cop. Kevin James really goes above and beyond as an actor in this classic!
If more people in our culture would treat their horrible break ups with a walk in nature ( which is actually therapeutic) rather than watching a fucking movie, we might be able to handle our problems as a culture in better ways. Wake the hell up.
This will get buried but hopefully somebody reads it and it can help shape their life. I was at a very dark time, drugs, booze, unsolicited sexual encounters and domestic abuse were basically a daily occurence. My friends and loved ones had basically give up on me and lost all hope. I was living on the streets, eating out of dumpsters and had one foot in the grave. Then i was thrown a lifeline. Like a life jacket on a sinking boat, the clouds parted and heaven sang to me. I was shown Paul Blart Mall Cop and my whole life changed. Ive been working on mending those broken relationships from the past and i am thoroughly convinced that Pual Blart 2 will be the glue that brings it together.
Oh man, Kevin James as Paul Blart: Mall Cop changed my life!

Paul Blart Mall Cop got me out of depression. It all started when I went to the movies at my local mall to see it. Paul Blart himself then sat down next to me in the theater and whispered into my ear, "Nobody knows this mall better than I do."
He grabbed my hand and we ran towards the screen, but we didn't hit anything. We landed in the Mall Cop locker room. Paul then said to me: "Safety never takes a holiday."
Paul vanished in a blink of an eye. All he left with me was a badge.. a Mall Cop badge.
To this day I am still a mall cop, fighting for the safety of the public.

Silver linings playbook. The movie has an odd tone and is a little random at times, almost like a stream of consciousness, but it did a great job of capturing the mindset of mental illness. I suffer from depression and the movie made me feel less alone, like "Yes, someone actually gets it".

When my mompa and dadma got hit by a bus , my great uncle D-Money took me to see Paul Blart: Mall Cop in theaters. It made me so happy I couldn't contain myself. I forgot all about my mompa and dadma. I didn't need them. I had Paul Blart.
He was my father. I watched him at night as he stealthily saved the day, and he sent me off to school with his quirky jokes and diologue. He was recently at my wedding, toasting me and my wife a great deal of funny antics and even passing out because the lack of sugar.
Thank you, Paul Blart.

Not a movie, but if your into a ime, the series Gurren Lagan really brought me back up a few years ago. It's funny, over the top, and all about achieving greater heights and overcoming goals. Helped me bring back the motivation when there was little to be had.
I had to pick a film that defined an entire culture, the "lowest common denominator" culture as you hear them referred to. The people of Wal-Mart. West Virginians. You name it, they've been labeled it. Well I struggled for some time before a portly mall cop danced a jig into my life with much enthusiasm. His name was Paul Blart, and his film allowed me to instantly filter out girls I have no interest in on dating sites.

The Way Way Back. I had lost two of my best friends because they broke up (long story) and I felt very alone. The awkward shy kid made me laugh so hard and I really needed that. Instead of crazy movie plots with ridiculous characters, the movie felt very real to me with something a real person would actually go through. It was very cathartic. I highly recommend it. That and "Another Year" was very good. It's along the same genre.

As for OP, I really think it was WW2 movies in general. There's something about Kelly's Heroes, Saving Private Ryan, and/or Das Boot that always kept me around.
Hedwig And the Angry Inch. First time I went to rehab, when I got home, all I did was watch movies. It's like I had to numb my mind with films all day long so I wouldn't think.
Then I rented Hedwig (back in the Blockbuster video days) and it just cheered me up. It made me genuinely happy for the first time since getting sober. It was a story about hope and change and starting over while being the person you truly are meant to be. I watched it over and over till I had to return it and every time I felt blue I listened to the soundtrack.

Secret Life of Walter Mitty. I'd lost my dad about a year before and I was traveling, having adventures abroad. I'd been dissatisfied with my life before I left. So it all kind of struck a chord with me. It reaffirmed what I was doing.
I was going through a pretty bad breakup at the time and I started that phase where you feel bad enough to wish the relationship never happened. I watched Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind. Called her up and apologized for my actions and wished her the best, even though we didn't work out as a couple. That movie really changed my perspective on relationships.

I was in the same place as you. Felt down on life... Was just you know... Scrolling through the guide on my tv trying to find something meaningful to watch. Then suddenly my door burst open like a movie scene. It was crazy the door seemed to just vaporize at the sheer force the Segway burst through the door with. There he was my savior my white knight. It was Paul. Clutching a dvd in one hand and slapping the remote out of my hands he then put a movie into my DVD player. Paul Blart Mall Cop began to play and with a whoosh the Segway was gone and my life was forever changed. I was able to go back to work thank goodness after my spirits where lifted.

My wife, kids, and my dog were on an expedition climbing Mt. Everest when that earthquake hit Tibet. I fear they may all be dead and I've been pacing the floor going out of my mind waiting to hear some word - any word, good or bad - from the search and rescue teams. This is the worst time of my life. Thank God Paul Blart, Mall Cop is available on iTunes. I just started watching it and I'm already starting to perk up. I'm going to pop some popcorn and put on my comfy PJs. As for my dog, wife, and kids (in order of priority) who may be either dead or greviously maimed and freezing to death on the most inhospitable place on earth, well, let's face it: they're no Kevin James.
I know this entire thread is a circlejerk about what people seem to think is a really stupid movie, but seriously, Paul Blart: Mall Cop has helped me through some of the darkest times in my life and is a epic, edge-of-your-seat thriller. 10/10, would recommend.

I was feeling pretty down in the dumps last week so I watched The Station Agent, but that didn't help out at all so I ended up watching this cult classic called Paul Blart Mall Cop. And let me tell you something it changed my life. :)

Swingers has helped me through a bad breakup in the past. I didn't really like the movie when I first saw it, but it had more to do with everyone telling me how I had to watch it than the quality of the movie itself.
Subsequent rewatches after a particularly bad breakup really hit home about the message and I'm glad I gave it another chance.
That and Paul Blart: Mall Cop kept me from commiting suicide.
I'm actually going to be serious here because I know the actual weight of having a film having significance in someones life such as myself. But yeah, so my film is Paul Blart: Mall Cop it meant so much to me and I'm dying to see the second one.

I was going to kill myself, until I realized I was in a situation that was not nearly as bad as the director of Paul Blart, Mall Cop. I realized "jesus christ, what would it say if I ended it all while idiots like this guy are still allowed to make terrible fucking movies?" This guy makes Michael Bay films look like Citizen Kane, if anyone should want to kill themselves, it's this director and this fucking actor. Holy shit, if I was Steve Carr's mother I would slit my wrists.
Thank you Steve Carr, and Kevin James! If not for you being so dreadfully terrible, I might not have the drive to keep on living.

I used to feel down and worthless all the time after my parents tragic death but then i watched Paul Blart: Mall Cop and that did something for me.Like it was speaking directly to my soul.That movie inspired me to be the proud and happy man i am today.

I watched Paul Blart Mall Cop and felt really down and disappointed afterwards, so I watched Paul Blart Mall Cop in IMAX and it really helped me through my slump.
Highly recommend it!
Paul Blart Mall Cop! It made me cry the first time I watched it. And that night I had like, the 2nd wet dream I've EVER had! Super sticky. Yeah, couldn't recommend that movie enough.

As if it wasn't playing on loop on my TV right now. I am always watching Paul Blart: Mall Cop. When I wake up, when I fall asleep, when I eat, drink, and even when I watch other movies on my computer, Kevin James is there by my side in case things get too tough. When I lost my job, my girlfriend and all my friends, Kevin James was there to comfort me. He teaches me that everything will be alright, as long as a keep watching Paul Blart: Mall Cop. So I'm not wasting another minute not watching Paul Blart: Mall Cop, because Paul Blart: Mall Cop is my life, and I wouldn't trade it for the world.

I was actually surprised at what an unimaginative sloppy mound of camel shit that movie was. I was actually expecting something from the first one. Not only is the bumbling fatso who wants the cute female played out as fuck but it lacked a single joke. Every time I see a scene from that movie I just end up thinking "why the hell does this exist? all the man hours, organization and commitment could have been astoundingly better spent bringing us an hour and a half close up of spider monkey clit." Kevin James should be ashamed at his cash grab of a sequel for unleashing any more of that disappointing suck fest into the world.
Levitlame ยท 1 points ยท Posted at 23:03:18 on April 27, 2015 ยท (Permalink)
I don't know. Maybe because I expected it to be the worst movie ever? I disliked Kevin James. And the plot was pretty clearly dumb.
I found it extremely-mildly-amusing. In the feel-good bad-movie kinda way.
I can conceive of no good reason for a sequel. I wouldn't blame KJ though. If you paid me enough, I'd take a dump on camera

I can only picture you with a straw cut in half, inhaling deeply over your old dell keyboard, determined to extract all the coca cola you spilled on the letter keys. Huffing, exasperated.. Looking wild eyed around your basement for the last of the soda, trying to get ur fix

Much like your story- I have always loved traveling to foreign countries. The culture, the food, and most importantly, the women. It was until I visited this small coastal village in Guatemala where I met this wonderful woman named Liliana. We spent countless hours on the beach sands, life seemed to move so slow there. We grew closer, Liliana and I. We finally made our way to my hotel room, where I seduced her before we watched Paul Blarts Mall Cop. That's the day I caught my great taste in movies, along with syphilus. :)

Dunston Checks In,
Hear me out, I had PTSD. The best way I can describe it is that feeling of watching a suspenseful movie and feeling uncomfortably in danger. You know you're not actually in danger, but you still have that feeling. Now imagine that feeling 24/7. relentless. it's exhausting. For some reason, I have no idea why, but when I watched Dunston Checks In, I wasn't afraid.
So I watched it almost every waking hour of the day. I would watch it, immediately rewind, and watch it again.
I eventually got over my PTSD, but good ol' Dunston helped me through.

I honestly do like the movie and I did watch it after my grandpa died. I think the seriousness of my reply was lost in the circlejerk. That's why I posted a more detailed response to OP's serious thread.

Pixie, for what it's worth: my fiancee has helped me through the last two weeks, actually. As a poor grad student also managing a popular local sandwich shop, I'm just really strapped for time an energy. Under most circumstances, I can balance my time between these things plus having a girlfriend. Last week, though, all hell broke loose.
Broken nose, bruised bone in my leg, apparently my accountant never got my documents I sent (two whole months ago!), and my car broke down. Lastly, my coworker committed suicide. Attending the funeral was especially rough. Rough. Through all this, my fiancee was so supportive, always encouraging me, making sure I was doing well, had enough money, driving me around while my car was broken, etc, etc.
Man, to be honest, I wouldn't even be in grad school if it wasn't for her. All my friends think I'm a hard worker, but really I was just one of those "talented but doesn't apply himself" types all the way through high school and undergrad. Like, I never could have applied for schools, studied and passed the GRE, without her pushing me to work hard and do my best. Last week, in fact, she convinced me to start on my thesis by setting deadlines for myself and making a list of what I need to do to get started.
Crap, sorry this was so long and sappy--she's just so great and she means a lot to me. Other, not-so-sappy things that always help me through rough days are shower beers, playing with my dog whenever I visit my parents in Houston, traveling in general, watching tennis, and building models. P.S., every first letter from each sentence in this post (but I swear everything I wrote is actually true).

50 First Dates, Forgetting Sarah Marshall, 6 Days 7 Nights, Just Go With It, Fools Gold, Couples Retreat, Heartbreak Kid, Club Dread, Captain Ron, both Weekend at Bernies. I watched them multiple times.
I also watched Blue Crush, then Cast Away (bad idea), so then I binge watched the West Wing, and Lost.

About A Boy [the film, not the awful american television series. The book is also great]. The soundtrack, the cast. When I watch it with my partner, he laughs at parts I found/find poignant. It's helped me through a particularly awful point in my life, when I was alone in my apartment with no cable or channels, just a DVD player, About a Boy and an inability to stop sobbing. Eventually, I got it over it. Movie helped a lot

I wonder if OP's original post mentioned Paul Blart Mall Cop? It's been edited, so it's possible.
Alternatively, one person jokingly mentioned that movie, another person saw that and made another joke with that movie, and it just snowballed from there. Voting lets the joke comments stay at the top while the other comments are hidden.

You don't need an email to see a trend. Usually it's one person doing something that may seem like the thing to do. Then other's might see that two are doing it, why not me. Then others will join until it's a big snowball and or it crashes. Either way, you try it until something sticks. That's how coordinated threads work too. Sometimes, they don't turn out the way people planned. Sometimes, they aren't even planned, someone just runs with it and others seem to follow. It's just fun. Just like Paul Blart Mall Cop.

Thing like this usually start out normal, but then one person comments something outlandishly funny. Other people see this and want a piece of the pie. So people start commenting similarly to the original comment. People begin to see the pattern and upvote the ones relevant and down vote everything else to oblivion.

I was at my lowest point, with a failed relationship and the loss of my business. I watched Paul Blart Mall Cop and then started picking up the pieces. Thanks to that movie I was able to rebuild. Will recommend.

This one really hits me. You didn't give up. Just like when Paul Blart was asked when he was going to submit, he delivered that insperational line that I think about every time I feel like I can't go on.

Well, you can sort the thread by Oldest to find the oldest and first comment which casually dropped Paul Blart in (what I think is) a serious post. The circlejerk took off from there. The 2nd and 3rd oldest top-level comments are American Pie and My Dinner with Andre, which have been sent to downvote hell.

Have you seen it? It's truly an experience. It's truly a modern masterpiece that got snubbed at the Oscars due to petty politics. I sometimes will go outside and weep at the fact that I'm not watching Paul Blart: Mall Cop. If you want to watch it, many theaters still show it nightly because most people still want to watch it the way it was meant to be.

I'm not American but I can't help shed a tear at the pure patriotism shown by Kevin James' performance.
Being born non-American, but essentially raised by Hollywood, Kevin James in his role as Paul Blart helped fill the gap between the two. Its not about geographic location, but the burning desire to make the world a better place, for everybody.
God Bless America.

I'm not so much confused by the what as much as the how. How did I not find one serious answer without Paul blart? There must have been a couple, the hive mind doesn't work that fast.
The one I absolutely loved was "what's a lesser known bot that you enjoy ?" EVERY comment, and every response to the comments were "every account on reddit is a bit except you."
Whit4You ยท 1 points ยท Posted at 23:08:27 on May 28, 2015 ยท (Permalink)
Ok - when you happen upon a thread like this - you have two options.
1st one of the many many reasons this happens - is that the particular question / thread has been repeated so many times that this one has turned into this WTF is going on type threads.
So go to /r/askreddit and enter a phrase the same or similar to the one you are looking at.
For example this movie one - there's been 100's of similar questions like it... just tweak your search till you find one that's most interesting.
The other - not so good option - is to sort by controversial - because how this hive happens - is those having fun with it - downvote to oblivion any serious answers while it's first developing.
So the serious answers will be the controversial ones.
Option one is best though...
I for some strange reason - will laugh my head off at these hive fests... I actually didn't really like the one "every account is a bot except you" one... because there wasn't enough variety in the answers.
This Paul Bart one - had the most original content - while being sickeningly obnoxious as I seem to love.
I've actually spent probably 10-15 hours of my time this past year just upvoting the insanity...to participate in my small way to the hillarity .. just on the couple that will be re-read for years like the
10/10 with rice one. Have you read that? It's sooooo f'n hillarious how many people are COMPLETELY confused how one of the stupidest threads in history - is #3 of all time on reddit. I spent probably 3 hours upvoting those LOL :)

Hamlet 2, it maybe a movie that just kinda speaks to me personally, but it literally was one of the reasons I'm alive today. Dogma was also helpful. And funny enough the new muppet movie was really great too. Not the muppets most wanted but the one before that. And the Lego movie was really great to. Not sure if your an atheist or not, but if you believe in God in one way or another, Constantine and V for Vendetta both have stories about people going through hard journey's that shows God in a positive light. If you are looking for that kind of support, hope, or inspiration.

It first gave me a reason to believe God was actually real, in away that he could do the impossible. Without that movie and it's inspiration, and to be honest, shit tons of 40oz, I dont think I would have been able to have kept getting up every day. And then later when I had felt like I had just fucked up to the point I was past returning, it had a message that gave me something to hold on to, even when it was just a string.... Also the main student in the movie is a lot like me, so that was nice to.

A while back I was in a dark place. I'd been depressed for a long time, and my life was spiraling out of control. I was unemployed, spending all my time alone. The only social interaction I had was spending Sunday evenings at my parents house. My parents, my sister, her son, and I would eat dinner and watch The Incredibles, my nephews favorite movie. Looking back, those Sunday nights were the only thing keeping my head above water.
Even so, I got to the point where I just wanted to end it. I was eating what I had planned to be my last meal with the TV on in the background, when I heard something familiar. The Incredibles had just randomly come on. I got slammed with memories of Sunday nights. I freaked out and changed the channel, and what comes on but Paul Blart Mall Cop.
Kevin James gave me a reason to live.
Also I bought a segway.

I was fresh out of the psych center with no job and crippling anxiety. It felt like the world was collapsing around me. I wasn't hearing the Pebble People anymore but I still thought about them often. It was also around this time that I became a strict vegan after watching the motion picture Chicken Run. The lack of protein left me feeling tired and spacy, which, combined with the anxiety, was a recipe for depression. There were times when I wanted to end it all. For months, my life consisted of eating vegetable broth three times a day (bean burritos on special occasions) and lying in bed staring at the ceiling. As if things couldn't get any worse, I saw my ex girlfriend Katie at the Pavilion on Christmas Day, and not only did she look amazingly fit, but her new boyfriend looked like a bearded model out of an L.L. Bean catalog. So there I was... broke, hungry, depressed, and alone. One smoggy day I walked to the beach and just looked out at the water. I realized that I'd be better off as fish food- part of the grand Pacific- than continuing my putrid, selfish existence. My plan was clear: return to my moldy apartment for one last night-- write a brief note explaining my decision-- and return to the ocean the next day, where I would drift into the sea and sink down into the depths below; I had never felt a part of anything before-- and now I would become part of the sea-- free at last. But when I got home on that fateful Tuesday evening, I turned on the television to stifle the silence of my sad, lonely apartment. There was a movie playing called Paul Blart: Mall Cop. There was something captivating about the protagonist. I saw myself in him somehow. The depth in his eyes penetrated the screen, revealing the soul behind this portly man. I knew in that moment that my pain was his pain, and his pain was mine. A calmness and relief washed over me. Suddenly, drifting into the ocean seemed silly and emo.

Paul Blart is an anagram for Rusty Nipples, the chief of the Wahmapoke people of the Midwest. He died in the late 1800s, but has tried to stay relevant by stalking various internet websites looking for top quality memers in order to bring back the spirits of their dead family members- all using the concentrated power of gamer fuel. At least, that's what the legends say.

Exactly, PBMC can be watch over and over for decades to come, it won't lose it brilliant writing. The acting Kevin James provides is timeless, his physical comedy transcends language the way Buster Keaton and Charlie Chaplains work did. BDS 9 is a great in its own way, but even the best porn loses watchability with time.

All I can say about Paul Blart Mall Cop 2 is that it's the only actual boost to our state's economy that was actually effected by our recent choice to give filmmaking a tax break in the state.
So, you know. Great film.

True story, Kevin James wanted to lose weight, his agent told him it would tank his career. Joe Rogan discussed it on his podcast at one point. He wouldn't directly state it was Kevin James but he made it fairly obvious who he was discussing. Sad really that it actually breaks down like that in Hollywood. Keep your career as a fat slapstick comedian actor or save your life and lose weight along with your career. Now there is always the fuck it option, lose the weight and own it and still crush out movies, imbue that generally isn't how it works.

If Blart the 3rd were a plot where he trains with Diamond Dallas Page, gets jacked, and does a diehard type scenario, I would totally watch that just to see him teach people the value of friendship and being true to yourself. He could become the Batman of Mall Cops. Maybe even get a fat teen ward he mentors. I would legit wipe tears from my eyes through the whole thing and my bottom lip would quiver at the climatic scene where the bad guy has him dead to rights and the fat kid saves him.

He can easily win an Emmy for the trailer that comes on TV, win an Oscar for the movie then a Grammy for the song in the movie. Eventually a Tony Award winning Broadway show will be made and he will probably own the rights and therefore become an EGOT before our vary eyes.

A.k.a. Circle-jerk [sur-kuh l] [jurk]
The word "circle" derives from the Greek ฮบฮฏฯฮบฮฟฯ/ฮบฯฮบฮปฮฟฯ (kirkos/kuklos), itself a metathesis of the Homeric Greek ฮบฯฮฏฮบฮฟฯ (krikos), meaning "hoop" or "ring".[2] The origins of the words "circus" and "circuit" are closely related.
Probably from Middle English yerk (โsudden motionโ), from Old English ฤกearc (โready, active, quickโ). Compare Old English ฤกearcian (โto prepare, make ready, procure, furnish, supplyโ). Related to yare.

Paul Blart: Mall Cop helped me get a PhD.
I sat down to write my final exam. It just had one question: I had to write an essay applying Derrida's ideas of deconstruction to Saussure's linguistic theories. I looked at the paper and realized: I have no idea what any of this means.
I'd spent the whole semester just watching Paul Blart: Mall Cop, day after day, instead of studying. It was, I thought, a mistake.
It turns out it was the best decision I'd ever made.
Taking a bold stand, I just wrote one sentence as my answer: "The mind is the only weapon that doesn't need a holster. - Paul Blart (Mall Cop)." Then I handed it in.
The class gasped. We had three hours to write it, and I was done in five minutes. How does he know the material so well? they were all wondering.
I gave it to the professor. He looked at it. Then he looked at me. Then he said, "Are you telling me that all you wrote on this paper was a single quote from Paul Blart: Mall Cop?"
I stared him in the eye without even flinching and dropped another classic Blartism on him: "I know a lot about sharks."
He looked back at the paper, back at me one more, and then nodded. He pulled out his red pen, wrote "A+" on the page, and then just said, "Sick reference, man. Sick reference."
Thanks to his recommendation, I was first choice for the direct-entry PhD program.

The genius behind the scholarly work "Advice Animals of Ancient Egypt, why the people have animal heads" Your work on Bast prompting Caturday memes and Set homologies with "I have no idea what I am doing" were what inspired me to get into more historial forms of Dank memism.
Your work was amazing. It revolutionized ancient memeology. Your work on euphoric civilisations like Mesoptamia (especially your work on Hittites), Ancient Egypt, Assyrians, Minoans and Yamoto China completely changed the field.

I know you're joking, but I thought I'd mention that the word 'meme' was actually coined as a part of memetics, the study of evolutionary models of information transfer. A meme is an idea that either dies out or propagates, just like how an organism will either die out or propagate through the process of natural selection.

I just want to believe that there is a literary topic where the better you understand it the less other people think it means anything when you use it so that a seemingly nonsensical sentence could actually be the answer to a question.

Derrida and Saussure's concepts typically need to be discussed early in a linguistics course as they help build the foundation for every concept to follow, so I doubt the final assignment was to write about two of the most basic concepts in the course. Plus, you don't usually get accepted into a PhD program by quoting Kevin James films.

One doesn't simply "write" a Paul Blart Mall Cop quote; anyone with real respect for the source material will stop in a moment of quiet contemplation after penning each word. Hence, it can easily take anywhere from 5 minutes to several days to transcribe one of Pauls teachings.

True story, I unintentionally saw "Paul Blart: Mall Cop" three times in theaters, including seeing it with my best friend a couple days after his Dad had died of an unexpected heart attack in his sleep.
Basically, I wanted to help my friend get out and get his mind off of his Dad, even if just for a little while, so I suggested we go see a movie. There wasn't much in theaters at the time, and we ended up choosing "Paul Blart: Mall Cop". Afterward we walked around the mall for a while and chatted. It seemed to cheer him up a bit.
The next weekend my Dad wanted to go see a movie. I asked which one, and he said "Paul Blart: Mall Cop". I like movies and spending time with my Dad (and my friend's Dad's sudden death had made be really appreciative of my Dad), and so I went to go see it again.
The next weekend, my Mom had some time off work (she was working crazy hours back then, including nearly all weekends) and wanted to see a movie. Sure enough, she chose "Paul Blart: Mall Cop". She'd been really busy lately, and so I opted to go with her to see it.
And that's how I saw "Paul Blart: Mall Cop" in theaters three times, and how it helped my best friend get away from his Dad's death for a couple of hours.

Okay... I am going to be very honest here. I get it. You all want to joke around and post funny things. But Threadingemu decided to be vulnerable over the internet and ask a serious question. That takes guts. So yes, I will also be vulnerable. Okay... well there was this one time that my grades went south. I didn't know why. And I have OCD, so I knew something was out of place. I look around my dorm room. I looked everywhere. Eventually I figured it out. My neighbors had borrowed some DVDs and never returned them. I stormed on over to their naked lair, combed through the sweat and tears, and found them. But I didn't care about Requiem for a Dream. No they can have that crap. Or the Place Beyond the Pines. Who cares. I combed and combed. There it was. Amidst an axe can and two bags of cool ranch doritos.
I cried a little. I grabbed the case and went back to my room, making sure to shoot them a passive-agressive smile (and I turned off their lights for good measure). Caressing the case, I licked the border. It still tasted like glory. I was home. Home isn't where the heart is. It is where this movie is. And yes, you already know what it is. Your very soul was SCREAMING IT IN YOUR EARS this whole time. PAUL BLART. PAUL BLART. Fin.

In all seriousness, as a Buddhist, Paul Blart: Mall Cop was a huge inspiration.
When he escaped the mall just after it was overrun by the robbers, he noticed the girl he loved was still inside. So he selflessly went back in to an active hostage situation, because he understood his own personal liberation was meaningless unless everyone else was free as well.
His discision to return to the suffering he had escaped for the sake of all sentient mall employees is a shining example of a Bodhisattva walking the Mahayana path.

Guys, this isn't funny. OP asked a question he wanted serious answers for and this is just really annoying and sad because I feel the need to tell my story. I'll answer the question for real. When I was thirteen life didn't go too well. My grandmother and my aunt died in the same month. I was becoming severely depressed and nothing gave me meaning. Nothing would ever seem to cheer me up, but the moment I got the Blu ray DVD of Paul Blart Mall Cop all my fear and sadness melted away. Kevin James is my portly mustachioed hero.

Probably a whole bunch of movies have helped me through my life.
All of you can probably relate to me; whichever one I name.
Understandably so, since there are so many influential films out there.
Like action films, romance films, and comedies!
But seriously, there is one movie that stands above the rest.
Lovable favorite I depend on.
A personal, timeless classic.
Reddit, you know what I'm talking about.
That one.
Many of you have already pointed it out in this thread.
Actually, almost all of you.
Lengthy posts detailing the glory of this movie.
Living in the same era as this masterpiece is a blessing.
Come, all; say the name with me.
OP, you too!
Peasants, I order you to look at the first letter of each sentence.

I was trying to start an herb garden a few years ago. That may sound trivial, but it was after my cat died and it was sort of symbolic for me.
Anyway, I was having trouble getting the herbs to grow. I followed all the instructions and even looked things up online, but I just couldn't get it going very well. Most of the herbs were half dead after a couple of months. They were hanging in there, but by no means flourishing. I was having particular trouble with one plant that I really coddled and tried so hard to get it to hang on, but this was becoming my cat all over again. It was heartbreaking.
Then I watched Paul Blart: Mall Cop. I finally understood through the magic of Kevin James's performance that what really matters is that you try, and if your heart is in it, any victory is all the more powerful. I was in tears by the end. I finally let go of the guilt about my cat's death; I felt this great release of pressure from my chest as I accepted that sometimes pets die no matter how hard you try. I felt like I was breathing for the first time, and my tears were like letting loose years of pressure.
I immediately went into my backyard and looked over my herb garden. I had tried, and that was what mattered. Everything was still alive, but the point was that I had put in the effort to make it flourish, not that it actually had flourished. I looked at that one stubborn herb plant and finally let go. I was done obsessing over a stupid plant. Thank you, Paul Blart.
TL;DR Paul Blart: Mall Cop helped me through a rough thyme

They tried rebooting Saved By the Bell, but it didn't work cause Mr. Belding got really fat. So they are renaming the series Saved By The Blart. They all work at the mall now and of course, Paul Blart is the mall cop.

As I pulled the pickup truck into my gravel driveway I could barely hold back my tears until I got a call from heaven telling me to watch Paul Blart Mall Cop

Dead Poetโs Society used to be the movie I watched whenever something terrible happened: Break-up, family death, losing a job. The inspiration was heartfelt and at the end I knew that I could overcome this, that by embracing life and standing up I could take on the world and truly live for the first time in my life.
Several years later I have seen the movie again and again and now, of course, I have seen flaws in the film but it had led me to a new path...a film that is more virtuous in motivation but also the belief in becoming bigger than oneself. That by standing up in the face of evil we can all become heroes. Now while the lead in this movie I'm referencing is much more of a man than I could ever aspire to be, if I can become just a mere fraction of the man he is...well damn, I'd have something to be proud. Of course, I'm talking about Kevin James in Paul Blart: Mall Cop
It still irks me to this day that there's all this hooplah over Leo never getting an Oscar when Kevin James was clearly robbed. ROBBED!

My girlfriend left me after a two year relationship. I loved watching old cartoons that I used to watch when I was younger. Tom and Jerry, courage the cowardly dog, jimi neutron. I eventually got tired of these shows as I realized one day that I'm a middle aged man watching cartoons in his underwear. So I eventually fell in love with another form of comedic entertainment which was Paul Blarts mall cop. Will watch that shit for days.

I know my comment will be buried. When I feel worthless or when things are out of control, I usually watch Good Will Hunting or Shawshank Redemption. I like how the main character overcame their problems. It's admirable. A lot of times, I feel caged like Andy Dufrene or vulnerable like Will Hunting so it's comforting to see those characters persevere the way they did. If I genuinely need a quick cheer up, instead of movies, I go to television. It's Always Sunny in Philap perks me up every time.

Once, in a shopping mall the power went out on the escalator. I was trapped for hours, standing on those damned moving stairs. Thankfully I had my laptop and a copy of Paul Blart Mall Cop. Marvelous movie, so well written and moving. So I walked to the food court, sat down and had a few hours of laughs. Of course, I had to walk back up the escalator to wait for rescue. Those damned escalators...

I was homeless from June 2009 - September 2012. One thing you don't realize about being homeless is how disconnected you become from popular culture. I hadn't heard whatever the biggest song was, or watched the big blockbusters that came out, I was separated from what the rest of the world was talking about.
Then one day I see that a local movie theater is playing Paul Blart: Mall Cop for free. Seeing as how I hadn't enjoyed a movie in years, I decided to watch it. I was blown away by the incredible writing and the heart-stopping performance by Kevin James. So much so, that I continued to take advantage of the theater's free screenings of the movie for several weeks. It helped me get back on my feet and introduced me to what real cinema is.

My wife died when my son was 1. That movie gave us a shared language through which I could explain his mothers death to him and he could understand that he wasn't 'weird' for not having a mom like the other kids.
When he first watched it, when he realized Nemo didn't have a mom.... I cried over how excited he was that he got to have 'someone' else like him.

This...either version is good too. David Attenborough takes me back to childhood and is very calming, listening to him feels like listening to my grandfather tell a story. And Sigourney Weaver's voice can lull me off to Neverland in an instant, there's something almost intoxicating about the American version.

Had the same experience when my best friend was diagnosed with cancer
He looks like jgl anyway and I'm chubby like Rogen so it was even worse.
I'd visit him in the hospital. He was always super down. Very out of it from chemo, radiation, Oxy, etc. the only thing that would cheer him up, and what I think ultimately saved his life, is how often we watched Paul Blart Mall Cop in his hospital room

It is now my absolute dream to go down that same hill in Iceland on my rollerblades that he went down on a longboard with "Wake Up" by Arcade Fire playing in my headphones.
It wasn't the adventure he went on, or the people that helped him along the way. I could completely feel a discovery of the sense of self in that character I've never felt before watching a movie.
I truly did wake up after that scene.

Ok. This is going to sound really stupid. The Mummy Returns helped me through a really bad breakup.
I was in high school and in a serious relationship with a girl that I thought was going to be the love of my life. I was head over heels in love with her and thought she was the best I was ever going to do. At the time I genuinely believed that there was one "true love" and that once you found it you should cling to it for dear life because you would never find it again.
There's a part where the bad guy (Imhotep) gets abandoned by his terrible significant other. Rather than deal with it, he allows himself to fall into the afterlife because his life isn't worth living anymore. As an outsider to the situation, it was easy for me to say "Hey, ancient Egyptian dude. You have so much to teach us about your culture. Why would you off yourself just because a relationship with someone who clearly wasn't worth it didn't work out?" I remember talking over this point with a good friend and realizing that I was in the same boat. Just because that relationship didn't work out didn't mean that it was all over. I had a lot to give and a lot to do yet. Her approval or appraisal of my worth wasn't what should define me. It's over a decade later and I'm with a much better woman who does everything better than the girl from high school. Even if I was alone though I think I would still be pretty happy. Don't let anyone steal your self worth. Don't sell yourself short.

I really love that scene. He just had his plan to win an unstoppable army to take over the world ripped away from him by the same guy that killed him and assisted in the killing of the love of his life in the previous movie, he's being dragged down to hell by the damned souls, and he didn't give up for a second.
Then Rachel Weisz risked her life to save Brendan Fraser, and the woman he fought through two deaths for abandoned him. Only then did he gave his arch-nemeses that look that said "Ok. Now you win" and let go.

I was actually backpacking a while ago, through Russia. I watched a few documentaries about how tough the border control could be and it's true. It was extraordinarily strict. Fortunately, maybe because of how we looked or whatever, we were moved along within the day. We went into Mongolia and were aiming for China. For majority of that trip, we took it by wheels. Hitchiking largely.
I can not express how lonely the Mongolian landscape can be at times. Seriously, but the people are very genuine and open. It's unreal. To go from the UK and out into this world, you feel like you've travelled to another planet entirely. No one spoke English so it was hand gestures all the way!
So, By the time we reached China months later, I got extremely sick. I was hoping it'd pass within a week, keeping up fluids but it only got worse. We were in a small town near Hohot which is actually also 'Inner Mongolia' there. Anyway, we hunkered down and I just felt like absolute shit for weeks. It was a vomiting bug, something I had eaten stupidly (probably the moose testicles) and my fellow backpacker, Rob, went out one day and came back with a DVD.
We had portable Laptops, these small, sturdy things that would play said DVD, a luxury we wanted for blogging our trip. Sure enough, I saw the DVD cover read:
ไฟ็ฝBlart่ดญ็ฉไธญๅฟ่ญฆๅฏ
I watched the entire thing immediately and burst into tears of joy. I could feel my sickness wash away and I was reinvigorated. My strength was returned to me and we continued forth, into the land of Zhongguo.
Fuck I loved that movie. Saved me.

My brother died in a car accident a few years back, two weeks after I broke up with my girlfriend. I got really depressed and since my health wasn't so great at the time either (really really bad allergies) I thought about ending it all.
I almost followed through a couple of times. Once I slit my wrist in the bathtub. But the water was apparently too cold or something because I didn't bleed that much. After a few minutes I just sort of changed my mind and got out.
I never told my parents about those things but they noticed that I was really sad. So they took me to the movies. We saw Paul Blart: Mall Cop. As soon as my eyes beheld the glory that was Kevin James my brother descended from the sky, having come back to life. As I hugged him my girlfriend rushed into the theater, begging to make up with me. A unicorn popped out of thin air and we all rode into the sunset together.
And so Paul Blart: Mall Cop turned my life around. I still have the allergies, though.
TL;DR Blart is love Blart is life.

Well, I'll give an actual answer.
Kiki's Delivery Service.
I was young when I first saw it, and I had never seen anything like it. The slow pace calmed me down, the characters felt real to me. Kiki isn't overly bright or pretty, but she's nice an tries hard.
That was me. I was book smart, but not overall super smart. I wasn't especially pretty. I dressed in dull clothes. Kiki was me. And by being nice to people and exploring life, she makes a lot of friends and a business.
It wasn't necessarily a hard time, but rewatching that movie when I was in college made me realize that moving away (9 hours from home) was going to be ok. I just needed to be nice and be friendly.
It worked, and Kiki is pretty much who I am today.
mizyin ยท 19 points ยท Posted at 06:07:00 on April 27, 2015 ยท (Permalink)
I have much the same answer, actually. I saw it as a little kid and always loved it, but it was only as I was exiting high school that it really hit me and resonated with me. Before I just liked it because WHOA IT'S PRETTY KIKI'S COOL AND NICE but... The themes of a young girl, who isn't necessarily liked by everyone she meets, but still tries to be kind to everyone, no matter how awful they may act towards her...it's a good message. People wonder why I'm so upbeat and friendly at work, I think that movie played a nice role in putting me in that kind of attitude when it comes to dealing with strangers. Worked out for her, I mean, worked out pretty damn good!

Thank you. I watched Kiki's Delivery Service a lot as a kid but hadn't seen it recently until this month. I'm trying to decide where to go to college, and the whole process has been really stressful, but seeing that movie... I realized wherever I go, things will be okay. There is adventure waiting literally any way you turn, and all you have to do is be open to life.
The same actually happened when I saw Whisper of the Heart, another Studio Ghibli film, but one that I had never seen before. For those who haven't seen it, it's essentially a love story between two schoolkids who are about to go different ways after (high school equivalent). It really hit home for me because my girlfriend and I met this year, and are graduating in a few months and probably going different directions, and it's really hard. Thanks for sharing your story. Hopefully I'll end up like Kiki too.

If you, or anyone else is interested, there's an entire genre for these kinds of stuff. Kiki doesnt fall exactly into it, but partly.
Genre's called iyashi-kei, loosely translated into healing. The series follow a really slow pace, focus on mundane everyday things, with a bit of serendipity sprinkled here and there.
Series like Yokohama Kaidashi Kikou or Aria the Animation helped me through some serious shit in my life.
EDIT: To add, most of the stories are nice, as in nothing bad really ever happens. Sure, there's difficulties and obstacles, but the generic pace of things reminds a little bit of meditation.

500 Days of Summer helped me get over this girl I was obsessed with. Realized that the image I had of her being so great was 100% in my head. It helped me see that none of what she was or did as a person was what attracted me to her; it was the ideal version of her which I liked, not the real-life version of her.

Same. It also made me outrageously angry after I watched it. I decided to try and cool off by watching 'Her'. I ended up crying and broken after that. In a last ditch effort I tried this one film about a mall cop and I never felt better. Thank you Kevin James.

Dunston Checks In,
Hear me out, I had PTSD. The best way I can describe it is that feeling of watching a suspenseful movie and feeling uncomfortably in danger. You know you're not actually in danger, but you still have that feeling.
Now imagine that feeling 24/7. relentless. it's exhausting.
For some reason, I have no idea why, but when I watched Dunston Checks In, I wasn't afraid.
So I watched it almost every waking hour of the day. I would watch it, immediately rewind, and watch it again.
I eventually got over my PTSD, but good ol' Dunston helped me through.

When I was three I had terrible asthma. According to my mom, I had pneumonia 13-14 times in that year. I have little memory of that time, but what I do remember is watching Homeward Bound 24/7. You know the movie with Chance, Sassy, and Shadow. It was literally the only movie I would watch. Parents had to get a new tape because I wore out the old one. I have a tough time watching it today without crying. Thankfully, the asthma went away, and I am doing a lot better. Me thinks Homeward Bound probably had something to do with that.

These days it's even money that I'll be crying by the end. I've told people to turn it off halfway through because I just don't know if I'll be crying.

The Perks of Being A Wallflower. I have a few favorite movies but this one is the one movie that really hits home. Every character in that movie reminds me of a little piece of me and I love that. I also went through something similar as the main character and didn't realize it at the time until I connected everything together. It's really a gentle film and if there is one movie that will always connect me to my teenage years, that movie will is it. I know Paul Blart Mall Cop is a nothing less than a masterpiece but since people have mentioned it countless times I figured I'd give another one just in case.

I was suffering from a chronic pain condition, and The King's Speech really spoke to me (so to speak).
It reminded me that any affliction, whether physical, mental, or emotional, does not have to have power over me -- there is always something I can do to make my life even marginally better. I just have to do it. If a tongue-tied man can lead a nation through its darkest hour, I can get the fuck out of bed and pour myself some fucking cereal and do SOMETHING positive with my fucking day. Even if it's just to pour myself some fucking cereal.

aWildWriterAppeared ยท 3 points ยท Posted at 05:29:21 on April 28, 2015 ยท (Permalink)
I'm going for a legit answer here;
it's been pretty hard for me too lately. And when I say hard, I mean HARD. Everything was dark and gloomy.
Two weeks ago I decided to go out to a movie, for a pick me up. It was one of the best experiences of my life.
This movie was inspiring, heartfelt and hilarious all at the same time. While pompous critics tut-tutted at its design, plot, and dismissed it as a cheap sequel, I can honestly say I walked out a changed woman.
TL;DR: 10/10 would recommend Paul Blart Mall Cop 2 with rice
(Seriously though OP, hope you feel better.)

Finally started working my way through Miyazaki's films over the last couple weeks. So far I've made it through Sprited Away, My Neighbor Totoro, Princess Mononoke, and Lapute: Castle in the Sky, which was my favorite.
kissanime.com has all of them available to stream, but apparently the Howl link isn't working right now :/

Aw thats great! He has sooo many! Definitely look up his films and see what else you can stream. A great tear jerker is graveyard of the fireflies. American movies can never hit that hard in the feels for an animated film. Whisper of the heart is a lovely romance story. Ponyo is the cutest and my favorite adaption of a mermaid story. Princess mononoke is one of my top fave, glad you saw that one. Watch them all!!!! Give them all a chance to see how you like each one individually. So far the only one i couldnt get into was Tales of Earthsea. Watch out for the tear jerkers. They can hit the heart hard lol. His animations have always been a pleasure to watch :)

I found the Howl's Moving Castle movie really weird and confusing and stupid.
It was based on a book written by one of my favourite children's/YA authors and so I had read it before I saw it. Don't get me wrong, I understand that movies are a different medium to books. I get kinda frustrated by people who complain that they don't like a movie adaptation because they cut parts of the book, it would be a terrible movie if they didn't cut anything. My issue with Howl's Moving castle is it felt like they cut the entire middle chunk instead of going through and cutting scenes throughout the book. I watched it with my family and we all really enjoyed the first half or so of the movie and then all of a sudden I'm explaining to my family what the deal is with this random turnip headed scarecrow. All of a sudden a bunch of things made no sense.
hpnotika ยท 2 points ยท Posted at 13:25:19 on April 28, 2015 ยท (Permalink)
I was unaware it was a book! Now im curious to read it so i can understand where youre coming from. I know his movies arent for everyone. Ive even heard people complain that ponyo was terrible and trying to hard to be like the little mermaid. The little mermaid was inspiration for the film, but he wanted it interpreted his way. Im sure hmc had a lot missing bc i did often wonder where turnip head came from, the witch of the waste backstory, (more of) howls backstory, etc. What gets me to watch it constantly, is the main character, sofia. I often relate a lot to her and how she feels. The spell that is casted on her, how she deals with life, how she feels about herself, how she breaks her curse...i can relate. I may not have an actual curse on me, lol, but i can understand the feeling of cursing yourself to think the way you do. Spirited away, helps my inner child understand, there are times you need to be an adult, and take responsibility. Care for those you love, and those who treat you with love and respect.
Im sorry to hear you dont enjoy this movie based on your experience, but its a great anti depressant for me :). Hope you find his other movies to be great tho!

I've certainly enjoyed other Ghibli movies, Spirited away and Princess Mononoke that I remember and I've been meaning to watch Kiki's delivery service for years. I might even enjoy Howl's Moving Castle more if I watched it now since I hardly remember the book anymore. From what I do remember of the book and what you've said you like about the movie you might like the book. It's by Dianna Wynne Jones, I know I said it's a kids book but she writes really well and I think it's reasonably short anyway. I think the book goes more deeply into Howl's relationship with Calcifer (who is partly where my username comes from) as well as explaining what the deal is with turnip head. I don't actually remember the witch of the waste but it's been about 10 years since I watched or read it.

I'm in a wonderful cycle where about 4 times a year, I watch a Miyazaki film that I haven't seen in a long time. There are just enough of them that I can keep doing this without any of them ever getting old. There are still some I've never even seen; I recently saw Whisper of the Heart and The Wind Rises, and both have become new favorites. My Neighbor Totoro helped me with depression recently, as well. Somehow in the midst of this awful thread, the two real answers I've seen have been Studio Ghibli films. I think this says something about how powerful they are. Also, thank you for giving a real answer. <3

The Butterfly Effect. I've often wanted the power to go back and save my friend from committing suicide and to be able and go back to stop my sister from getting addicted to drugs. That movie touched on both of these topics and showed how the power to change the past can really mess up the future. Great movie.

GetOutOfBox ยท 5 points ยท Posted at 05:14:41 on April 27, 2015 ยท (Permalink)
The Darjeeling Limited. Only if you can handle quirky, quiet films. It's a visual masterpiece and really takes you along the characters spiritual adventure in India.
I've also always found the anime "Kiki's Delivery Service" to be very beautiful when I was down. It's an innocent movie that manages to gently touch upon hardships that a lot of adult's experience (growing up, romance worries, becoming independent, etc) but maintain a positive tone. I know coming out of it I always feel very positive and at peace.
If you're looking more for a distraction from what you're going through, I think the movie Rango might be interesting and entertaining for many people. Very good casting (starring Johnny Depp), intriguing 3d art style, and Pixar meets Tim Burton kind of plot (what with references to trippy "Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas").
If you want to feel some catharsis/profundity, I highly recommend "Cloud Atlas"; a story spanning 6 generations of men and women, who are "connected" (by recurring themes) across time. I've seen this once before with "The Fountain", but found Cloud Atlas did it far better. Each "mini-story" was beautifully written and acted, and I believe so many different people can connect with at least one of the stories in this movie. Each layer is in it's own way, very profound and thought-provoking. It was beautifully acted, with me particularly enjoying Tom Hank's performance in the final layer (Year 2144). This movie is very cerebral, but at the same time action packed. It never slows down for more than 5 minutes.
Finally, if you just wanna laugh at something hilarious and/or stupid for an hour or two, I suggest either "Step Brothers" starring John C. Reilly and Will Ferrell in what I think we can all agree is their most ridiculous and hilarious roles (well, Anchorman 1 is hard to beat...). If you have already seen that one (very likely), I would suggest the less well known "Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story", also starring John C. Reilly. He actually manages to keep the balance between a straight-faced serious movie and a complete joke, so that it just doesn't get old. The whole thing is pretty funny. So if you like comedy, it's either John C. Reilly and Will Ferrel, or just John C. Reilly motherfucker
EDIT: Note: I am not John C. Reilly

The Royal Tenenbaums came out maybe a year after my father had died. After he died, a lot of things came out of the woodwork about him that were less than reassuring.
He wasn't a criminal or a womanizer or a pedo or anything, but he made a lot of selfish, poor decisions that affected my childhood in ways I didn't even know.
There was something so cathartic about that movie, watching Royal reconnect with his family despite what looked like his best efforts to push them away.
The funeral scene is where I finally lost it. It was the first time I cried since before my Dad died. I think all that pent-up grief finally came out at that precise moment. The Royal Tenenbaums will always have a place in my heart.

Korean version of 'Old boy' helped me personally.
The japanese movie 'Okuribito - Departures' was an interesting take on life and death - 'Donnie Darko' was as well, but with a darker, sader undertone. On that matter I'd also highly recommend watching the korean 'Spring, Summer, Fall, Winter... and Spring '.
To cheer me up I love(d) the extended version of LotR.
Last, but certainly not least I've heard lots of positive remarks about 'Paul Blark, a Mall-Coup', though admittedly haven't seen it for myself, yet.

I grew up to a single mom. My dad left me when I as 3. My mom worked everyday trying to support me and my brothers. When I was 14 my mother got diagnosed with cancer. I had to work while my mother slowly died as we couldn't afford treatment. She eventually died with me and my brothers by her sides. Her last words to me were "Be strong for me." She then grabbed a Blu-Ray copy of Paul Blart: Mall Cop and handed it to me. She then died while I clutched the copy crying. I went into the living room and put the movie in. I laughed through the tears and after it was over I knew I became stronger from it.

How to train your dragon.
It's little moments in it that just get me. The main character for one, is ridiculously depressed. In the first movie he has this whole self-deprecating outlook and self-satirizing demeanor as a defense mechanism from his bullies. Nobody wants him and his father views him as being useless. It's surprisingly dark for a children's movie, and it is simply my favorite movie.
In my opinion it also has the best movie soundtrack of all time.

coldcoldiq ยท 80 points ยท Posted at 02:34:43 on April 27, 2015 ยท (Permalink)
Sorry to interrupt the Paul Blart charade, but Howl's Moving Castle is wonderful, as is the much darker Princess Mononoke.
There is something quintessentially soothing about animated films even when they are about war and decay.

Totally agree. Anything Miyazaki has that soothing quality, for me.
They always have a nice message, but it isn't laid on too thick like Disney films.
coldcoldiq ยท 3 points ยท Posted at 14:56:03 on April 27, 2015 ยท (Permalink)
Agreed! I love Disney, of course, but Ghibli films are more subtle, and tackle wider issues even when they seem very time- and place-specific.
They also have a much broader sense of happiness and accomplishment than the typical Disney "doesn't matter, got married" class of endings.

On a less Kevin James related note, I like Castle in the Sky by Studio Ghibli. For me it is a nice escape. It is such a detachment to watch that I get that time off to not think about my problems

Castle in the Sky is great. All Studio Ghibli stuff is, in my opinion. The only thing that makes that movie better is turning on picture-in-picture and watching Paul Blart: Mall Cop at the same time.

I was watching Fight Club once, really tied up in the big, negative emotions I was feeling at the time. Something about the way the story was framed just made me feel for the characters in a way I had never felt before. Marlene, so vicious, and Jack, so unambitious. Yet his other side, his drive. That's the only time I ever wanted to be Brad Pitt. Seeing Tyler Durden hop in that sportscar just made me feel like making soap.
So I did. I snuck into a pig slaugherhouse late at night and stole drums of waste. I boiled it down and became a soapmaker. I now live on a ranch out in Wyoming where I have two lovely kids and a wife who loves making soap with me. I'd love to talk more but I'm taking the kids to see Paul Blart Mall Cop.
Anyway, I could tell you all about my soapmaking shenanigans. I promise I won't lye.

School of Rock. I know it's silly. I was at a time in my life where I found no joy in anything. Life was really bad and I saw no way out of the horrible stuff I was going through. But School of Rock made me laugh. And sing along. And get excited. And for that little glimmer of happiness I thank Jack Black more than I can ever express. Because it was the spark I needed to start the long journey of getting better.

Man I was so distraught after a 2 year relationship that I put my all ended, genuinely thought that was it, I was certain it was the one. You know how you can't really move on until you actually decide its time and truly feel like you have to? It had been months and I was still beating myself up hard core and just cripplingly depressed
Once I finished that movie I was just glad the relationship had happened and took all the good memories we had as experience and finally started my first real step to moving on (:

Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind helped me through the break up of a relationship that was strikingly similar to the one presented in the film. I was a kind of shy, very neurotic guy, she was an adventurous artist who was also an alcoholic. So there were many parallels in the film, and it really felt surreal to watch a movie that so closely fit my situation. The scene where Joel desperately wants to hold on to just one good memory of Clem brought me to tears in the theater. It made me think of my ex, and how even though the break up was bad, I still cherished the time we had together, because she was an incredibly fun person most of the time, and I truly did love her when we were together.
Even now, a decade or so after the film has come out and that relationship has long faded into the past, when I watch the film it hits me in a very strong way.

I know I'm obligated to respond with something about Paul Blart, but I had a similar experience with The Hangover. I came into the house crying after my boyfriend broke up with me. My roommate immediately ushered me into her vehicle to pick up snacks and drinks, then we proceeded to stuff our faces with Swedish berries and chips while watching the Hangover.
I wouldn't say the movie saved my life, but it definitely helped keep my mind off things.

When I was at my most fucked up? The movie that stopped the crying and suicidal thoughts was Seven.
It was the first time i ever saw it, which is weird, because it was 2010 and im 30 years old and nobody on earth slet on Seven for THAT long.
Basically id been eating klonopins and drinking vodka so that i could treat life lime a game of Grand theft auto or an episode Californication.
Anyways, the only thing that really mattered was the 7 deadly sins theme. I started thinking about how deadly those 7 things are, and how much of that shit i was doing. For whatever reason that gave me a little much needed direction.

One line from Fight Club: "We're a generation of 30-year-old boys." I'm 35, but I've felt lost and without any direction in life since I was a teenager; in some ways, nothing has changed. This helps in terms of not feeling completely alone, as the movie obviously spoke to a substantial audience.

I'm afraid it doesn't have anything to do with cops in shopping malls but I do believe it is a fantastic movie about hope and persistence.
Probably my favourite movie of all time.

As a depressive with severe anxiety problems, Fight Club and American Beauty both help me to not worry about other people and just accept life for what it is.
Edit: Paul Blart Mall Cop is so pointless and bad that watching it puts me in a zen like trance and I embrace the positive-nihilism of the universe and just smile for days.

I would have to say the Pursuit of Happiness. At the time I was a senior in high school. I was going through a lot at the time. My parents were in the process of getting divorced, my dad lost his job and our house was getting forclosed. I watched that movie and balled like a baby. All of my emotions that I bottled up had just finally came out. I realized that even though I was in a rough patch in my life, that it could always be worse. Up to the time of seeing that movie I had distanced myself from my father and shut out a lot of people. To watch Will Smith do everything he could to take care of his son and never give up just made me realize how much worse I could have it. I watched it with my father and at the end of the movie we both were crying (something I had never witnessed my father do). It was a tough time and yet that movie made me know that things would work out. The Pursuit of Happiness will forever be my favorite movie.

I'm not a religious person at all; after losing my daughter I couldn't stop watching What Dreams May Come. It's one of those movies I get immensely emotional about. I hate watching it , and I love watching it all at the same time. I think it deals with death and loss on a spiritual level without going all PRAISE JEEBUS on a person. I feel it also portrays an accurate reaction to the loss of a child, at least from what we went through. The movie gets a lot of shit, but it will always be a movie that can make me feel hopeful when I'm in a very dark place.

Truthfully, I went from drop-out unemployed / unemployable fuckhead lazy arsehole to enrolling in engineering, graduating, marrying, having kids and being a good professional breadwinner on the night I saw Good Will Hunting.
I was always a bit of a prodigy in school (not a LOT of a prodigy, just a little. I went to school with kids who WERE actual prodigies, I was just a reasonably bright kid), but I pissed it all away. Just relied on my innate abilities and never did any work. Got into a shit course at uni and didn't even bother showing up. I was highly intelligent but just completely useless, would sleep until 3pm and only get out of bed because I needed to not be in dressing gown by the time my parents got home from work...........
................... night of watching Good Will Hunting with my best friend from childhood and my girlfriend we were walking home at midnight and not saying a whole lot, just thinking (it was a very thinky movie), and I said "Well.......... I guess I'm going back to uni then."
And my friend, never one for wasting words, said "Yep."
And that was it. Applied for university, got into a good course, married my girlfriend, finished the course, had a baby, got a job, got a mortgage, had another baby (all in that order). I can literally trace it to that one night, that one walk, that one bridge, that one word from my friend who instantly understood that was me making that life changing choice right there and then.

Ate a bag of mushrooms and watched Dazed 'n Confused.
10/10 it was like hanging out in the 60's for a night.
Did it again accidentally with Tokyo Drift and it was not as pleasant of experience, I could NOT figure out how to work a blanket and got thoroughly frustrated.
6/10 still did mushrooms.

Serious answer because fuck it.
Not just the movie, but all the seasons of South Park helped me get through my divorce after 9 years of marriage.
I had just graduated from my University the week prior to my wife telling me she was leaving and that nothing could be done about it. I didn't have a job (that following week was going to be when I started sending out everything) and I had a very lonely apartment with just my computer and TV to keep me company for about a month until we could organize the moving out.
I couldn't sleep, I couldn't eat, I couldn't do much of anything. So I just queued up South Park on Netflix and hit play. I watched all the episodes over and over again. I couldn't sleep in the bedroom so I just crashed on the couch with South Park playing in the background. When I wanted a switch from the series I would pop on the movie, or put on one of the Alien making-of DVDs from the Anthology.
South Park was the ONLY thing that gave me a shred of joy during that month alone and the subsequent months after moving. Even after the divorce I continued to watch South Park out of habit, at least until they pulled it off Netflix. Now I can't since it's on Hulu, but I'm forever grateful for SP getting me through the toughest time in my life.

Fight Club. There was a time when I was pretty depressed and feeling like a failure, that I worked damn hard but in the end didn't have anything important to show for it. Fight Club, in some crazy way, helped me pull myself out of the depression. I feel like I walked out of watching that movie with a chemical burn of Tylers lips on my hand. I realised that my life was in fact ending one minute at a time, and all I had to show for it was my apartment and some crappy job.
'It's only after we've lost everything that we're free to do anything.'. 8 years on, 3 crappy jobs later and I have the life I didn't even know I could have.

For me it was Sophie's Choice. Whilst the movie was very long & boring until the very end when you discover she had twins & had to choose which one lived & died.
Years later when I had twins as a solo parent I remembered the movie which encouraged me to make sure I practiced fire drills (it was a 2 storey house) taking both down at once so I'd not have to make that terrible choice.
It also made me more aware of my parenting of them in other more subtle ways.
They are now 23 & wonderful with helping other people, both with post-grad degrees and making their way in the world.
I'll never forget that movie.

About time, I lost my father 5 years ago. The end really put me back together, though I've gotten better, that movie just really made me feel better, and that moving on is the best solution for me.
Similarly Eternal Sunshine of the spotless mind helps me when I get depressed about being alone, makes me feel that even though I am alone that there is someone out there for me, even if I dont know it.

i don't know but there is a little clip on "the wolf of wallstreet" that always ignites the flame of competition in me. when dicaprio is talking and says "there is no novelty in poverty. i've been a rich man and i've been a poor man, but i choose Rich every fucking time! because when i have to face my problems i show up in the back of a limo wearing a two thousand dollar suit, and a two thousand dollar watch, now.... if any of you think i am superficial THEN GO FUCKING WORK AT McDonalds CUZ THAT WHERE YOU FUCKING BELONG!!"
also "a better life" hits hard mainly when i realize that my best intrest were in the line when my family crossed the border, then i am here wasting my time because i never really knew the sacrifice it took to get here so i am left here thinking i was ripped off, of what i should of been rather than what i am now. in a way if you don't know the sacrifice it takes to get soemthing i don't think we can truly appreciate what we have.

Twilight.
I am not kidding. I would rather not explain how it helped me through my rough time, but it was 2010, I was suffering from major depression, and I lost someone who was really close to me. And I guess watching New Moon and emphasizing with Bella Swan helped me out. Hell, those scenes where she opens up and starts hanging out with Jacob were instrumental in me seeking help because I didn't want to spend the rest of my life, crying and longing for someone who was never coming back. I wanted to feel happy again.
That and Michael Sheen. Dear God, Michael Sheen can always make me happy.

Sleepless in Seattle. My wife died of cancer a little over 7 years ago. The quote about what it was like could easily have been spoken by me. I still love her. So much in fact I don't even date anymore. It was pointless being out with a woman and wishing I was with her.
Doctor Marcia Fieldstone: People who truly loved once are far more likely to love again. Sam, do you think there's someone out there you could love as much as your wife? Sam Baldwin: Well, Dr. Marcia Fieldstone, that's hard to imagine. Doctor Marcia Fieldstone: What are you going to do? Sam Baldwin: Well, I'm gonna get out of bed every morning... breathe in and out all day long. Then, after a while I won't have to remind myself to get out of bed every morning and breathe in and out... and, then after a while, I won't have to think about how I had it great and perfect for a while. Doctor Marcia Fieldstone: Tell me what was so special about your wife? Sam Baldwin: Well, how long is your program? Well, it was a million tiny little things that, when you added them all up, they meant we were supposed to be together... and I knew it. I knew it the very first time I touched her. It was like coming home... only to no home I'd ever known... I was just taking her hand to help her out of a car and I knew. It was like... magic.

I feel like I'm taking crazy pills here. This entire thread, when based upon a real question has turned in to Paul Blart 2 marketing. That doesn't upset anyone?
It's good to have a joke, but if that joke is directly tied to something that has direct marketing around it then that joke is forced upon you.
Paul Blart has never meant anything important to anyone's life. Paul Blart is a joke, and it is now disgusting that the name Paul Blart is in your head.
I tried submitting this to hailcorporate, but it was denied, for sure I may be doing something wrong, but I shouldn't have to jump through hoops to say I think that reddit may be in on a marketing campaign.
I guess what I'm saying is don't see Paul Blart because it entered into your mind because of reddit. If you're into dumb humor then go ahead. Paul Blart is not a good movie, and you are better than letting Paul Blart enter your lexicon. If you're choosing a movie to see this following week, don't let this thread have any influence. Spend your time doing anything different. Read a book, make something. Just don't watch Paul Blart based on some random remembering of a reddit thread where we all laughed about how shitty a movie was.

I had been struggling with a pretty serious depression. Friends dragged me to see Amรฉlie. It was like a breath of fresh air. The way the movie manages to tell its story while relishing in all the little pleasure of day to day life helped me reconnect with those little pleasures in my life as well. Once you get to a place where you can make yourself a cup of fruit tea and curl up somewhere comfortable with dimmed lights and a good book, it's enough of a stepping stone to stop drowning.

I do not know. I mean, I had my grandmother's death when I was 11, but hell if I can remember anything of that year.
In fact I do not remember much between age 11-17. Bits and pieces grab my attention, but mostly negative things I have done.
No movies though. I know that was when I started smoking and gaining weight. Just kind of, gave up and lashed out. Still doing it to this day really. Except smoking, I went digital and started vaping instead. Much cheaper in the long run.
I had video games, I remember those. Ocarina of Time, Mortal Kombat, Star Control II, DOOM, and whatever was the latest thing year after year.
I guess if I had to pick movies I know I stuck by, Back to the Future and Tremors come to mind. Futurama and Stargate SG-1 as well for TV Shows.

It may sound weird but the summer of my 25th year I was sick all spring and summer. Getting tests run and trying different things. I was sick all the time and had no energy. At one time it was thought that I had gastrointestinal cancer. By the end of August it was finally determined that stress was causing all of my problems.
Me and a good buddy went and saw Lethal Weapon. For some reason I could identity with Mel Gibson's character and also his toughness and athletic ability. It flipped my switch back on to go back to being the person I was.

Indie Game: The Movie.
I was close to giving up on my dream of becoming an independent game developer. I didn't know what else I would actually want to do, so if I did give up, I'd really have nothing else to look forward to. This movie comes along, just randomly on Netflix, and it injected a rush of pure adrenaline-fueled inspiration into me. Seeing Team Meat, Jonathan Blow, Phil Fish, and others create against all odds just made me tell myself not to give up, over and over again.
Since then I've released two (shitty) games on Google Play, and I'm currently working on a (hopefully not so shitty) game for the Wii U eShop. I've come a long way, but i still have a looooong way to go. I just got home from my retail (non-videogame related) job and it's about 3:30 AM where I live.
I think it's time I watch it again.

If a serious answer fits here, for me it was 'Night Mother'. My little brother suicided at 16. Listening to all who said how selfish it was really affected me. This movie showed me the other side. Whilst I didn't relate the main character's issues to that of a 16 year old, it gave me perspective. I hope things improve for you.

This will probably get buried deep inside this thread but I don't really mind.
Life In A Day is one of my all time favorite emotional feel-good rollercoasters. I showed it to 4 of my friends after they had a break up, all of them felt so much better about things after seeing the perspective of other people all around the globe.
Honestly I'm a bit disappointed how little I see it getting mentioned as it's such a good movie. It doesn't tell a fictional story, it's right there inside the raw humanity that's all around us. You can actually watch the whole thing on Youtube, it's absolutely fantastic.

Maybe if we had read that book on school like normal high schools do, it wouldn't have taken me 10 years to learn than lesson.

I'm not funny, so I'll give you a serious answer OP.
Barry Lyndon by Stanley Kubrick is pretty good. It reminds you that life is long and that what seems like such an unfortunate situation full of pressing concerns can be turned around in not too long.

This will be buried, but oddly enough Revolver by Guy Ritchie starring Jason Statham and Ray Liotta.
Basically it turned on a lightbulb for me about the idea of your Ego and perceptions of "dread" fucking with you.

This is a great question. Thanks
Oddly enough, Jurassic park. I was 12 and my closest family member had died when I had an extremely abusive step dad. I wasn't allowed to see it in theaters and the very day it came out on vhs i ran out, bought it and they died that very night. I cried and hid in my bedroom and watched it. I still can't watch it without thinking of them. That soundtrack gave me the strength I needed to handle the abuse I was dealt. I'm 32 now, have a great wife and awesome son and am loving life. Thanks JP.

Perks of Being a Wallflower.
This was towards the end of summer just as I was about to start a new school. I had been in a long distance relationship with this girl in where we made it work for about 7 months. Then all of a sudden she got tired and broke up with me. She was moving over to where I was in about a month's time, but she decided not to continue it.
This led me devastated, and I had recently rented Perks. I had wanted to watch it with the family because the girl recommended it to me. Towards the end of it I was almost balling. The whole thing just reminded me of the two of us and I did feel like I was crumbling, kinda like the protagonist. But the very end got to me, because that happy ending made me realise that there were always going to be better things to come. I was still sad for a while, but when I watched it the day after for the second time, it really did help me go through it. Made me more tolerable as well starting the new school!

Top Gear.
I know it's not a movie, but several years ago, I found myself depending on the familiarity and jovial nature of the program to help me pass the long hours immediately after my ex-wife left me.
I would come home from work in the evening, and the house would be so large and empty and dark. I found comfort in reruns of Top Gear on my DVD. May, Hammond, the orangutan... I didn't know them, but I felt a camaraderie with them. They didn't judge me, they didn't cry with me, they just wanted to forget the pains and stressors of the day, and go out and play with cars.
And that was beautiful to me at the time. Several years later, I am happily divorced, in love with a beautiful woman, and I remain a Top Gear fan. I'm sad as hell for all that has happened with the series possibly dying an ignominious death, but even if that is the final curtain for the boys, I will always have those 22 seasons of memories to revisit...

Forgetting Sarah Marshall.
My highschool sweetheart and first girlfriend had just left me and was living in another state, I was reeling from no longer having any social contact (due to social anxiety, I tend to avoid people and, at that time, my gf was really the only person I ever spent time with), and generally just feeling like my life was ruined. All the expectations I'd had about everything that was to come were crushed and I felt like I wasn't even anchored to reality anymore.
I rented Forgetting Sarah Marshall from Blockbuster (back when it existed) and spent the next hour and a half alternating between consolation and laughter. It was just a lighthearted-ish movie that addressed the feelings I'd been having and ended on a hopeful note.
It didn't cure me of the deep depression I was in, but it made that day completely livable.

I've struggled with depression ever since my mother died of a drug overdose. I just felt so lost. I would cry and cry every night wondering why god would put me through this. I was alone one afternoon and the urge to cry became too great to fight off, and vision became blurry from the tears. When the crying finally subsided, I opened my eyes and what I saw changed my life. Paul blart mall cop was there, right in front of the television. Minutes into the film, I felt cleansed of all my melancholy emotions. Paul blart might have very well saved my life.

Right before I met my wife I went through a bad breakup and was generally depressed about life. I was not sure where I going and felt there was nobody that understood me.
I decided to go to the movies by myself to see Hotel For Dogs but a bus just got in and some kids purchased all the tickets, the only tickets left were for this movie about some Mall Cop. I remembered Kevin James from the King of Queens so I figured it probably would be funny in a "sad going to the movies by yourself sorta way".
As luck would have it, I sat down next to this awesome girl who was by herself and we ended up exchanging numbers and now she's my wife!
TL;DR: Went to see Paul Blart: Mall Cop and married the woman of my dreams.

Forrest Gump. I could always relate to Forrest's character on multiple levels. I was never the smartest person but I worked hard and had a good attitude. Then the whole "is...is he like me" quote fucking got me. Soon after realizing that despite our similarities I will never be able to go on and do what Forrest did I went into a deep depression. It wasn't until I watched Paul Blart Mall Cop that I realized I can truly do anything, including defeating a gang of BMX thieves, despite just being an average guy. That shit movie Forrest Gump always got the better of me, but thanks to Paul Blart I find the strength to keep going.

The entirety of the original 2004 FMA series helped me through my dad's death in 2005. It's got this whole "not everything in the world is rainbows and flowers, but there are rainbows and flowers in it" vibe to it. a bittersweet feeling to it.
The entire series is a treatise on postmodernism, with it taking place during the height of the modern era, the early 1900s. At the end, of the series Ed, who really believed "the world's one and only truth" was the laws of science (alchemy is science in that world) grew into accepting, "hey, i cant know everything, but that doesnt matter. all i can do is have faith that my dedication and actions will bring some type of reword, whether it was what i expected or not."
Being the son of a pastor, and having just declared myself atheist 1 year prior to my dad's death, the words of FMA really helped me out. "Maybe all there is is this Earth. Maybe there's more. It doesnt matter, all I can do is live life like my dad raised me to, and have faith that my actions and dedication will have an 'equivalent exchange' in my life, even if it's not what i was expecting"

An older movie (1964), "Zulu" starring Stanley Baker and (introducing) Michael Caine. Not to do with the story, per se, but whenever I watch it, it reminds me of the first time I saw it, at around ten years of age. My dad showed it to me-I was on the edge of my seat, and I'll always remember that moment of being thrilled by a movie and sharing that experience with my dad. He's gone now, but I watch "Zulu" at least once a year to recapture a bit of that memory- when a young man feels that his father is infallible.

Well, last week I was diagnosed with both AIDS and Cancer. After watching Paul Blart: Mall Cop 1 and 2 back-to-back for a full 24 hours, I was miraculously cured.

Inception. I was having a rough patch with my dad whom I never can see eye to eye with but I still try to love him. The relationship between Robert and Maurice Fisher is like my relationship to my father; adversarial at best. I was already hurt and this movie brought out some of the best self reflection I had on that relationship in a long time.
Specifically it was the vault scene that broke me. In that the one of two items that were in that vault was the alternate will; the pinwheel broke me.

Not a movie, but I was going through a phase where I was lacking motivation at work due to numerous factors I didn't have control over. Then I started watching Suits and they looked so fucking sharp that I got my suits of my closet and fucking took control of my career, mostly by being badass and letting my boss and team know how much they need me.

Serious answer is steel magnolias.
My father was diabetic and I had a lot of trouble understanding why he sometimes ignored the doctors advice when he knew it was a huge risk. That movie helped me to cope with his choices and to remember that their is a greater reasoning to life.
Your meant to live life, not just stay alive.
He knew he was going to die but did what he could to live it. Even if it meant sneaking a butterscotch lifesavers every now and then with the risk of a sugar attack.
Lost my dad 4 years ago and it hurts my heart so much but at least I know he went down swinging.
Hope this helped OP. Internet hugs.

Serious Post: The Spike Jonze film, Her.
I had been in a very unhappy relationship for a long time that rendered me emotionally numb to just about everything in my life. I was indifferent to people's feelings, especially my own. I saw that movie and it did something to me. Watching the main character let go of the burden of his lost love and his connection to a fake relationship just made me realize I had missing out on feeling so much.

I was going through a terrible breakup and was all depressed with myself. Then I saw Paul Blart: Mall Cop. The movie inspired me to be just like Paul, and I mean just like him. Every. Single. Detail. Right down to the Hispanic daughter of his. Yes, I adopted a Hispanic child to be like Paul. Paul's my hero, man.

I recently went to go see a physic. Before I even got to sit down she started freaking the "F" out about some terrible tragedy I was going to experience in the near future. She was mumbling and convulsing and I could barely understand. I could sorta make out the words "Cop" and "Blart." Then, something that sounded like the words "Maul" and "Fall" maybe? I'm too sure really. The only thing I could make out with confidence was the number "2." She kept saying the number "2" over and over and over. She was scaring me so badly I ran out of there before she could finish. Should I be worried?

This is a weird one because a lot people don't seem to like it, but Star Trek: Generations.
I've been really afraid of death my whole life, and of not accomplishing enough, not leaving enough behind. I wore watches since I was a little kid, and I was obsessed with time.
The theme of Generations is, in a nut shell, "chill the fuck out." We all die, the deaths are almost always pointless, but that's okay because your death isn't your life's statement. It's just an end. A period at the end of a sentence isn't more important than what was in the sentence.
Better to think of time as "a companion, reminding us to cherish each moment. Because it'll never come again."
Thanks Jean-Luc.

When i found out i was adopted, Meet the Robinsons let me know the future is worth looking forward too
when i lost my job, office space reminded me why it sucked
when i lost my HS girlfriend due to a dating gameshow, mallrats showed me how to win her back
when my wife got held hostage by terrorists(again) die hard II showed me the best way to beat airport security
when i found out my best friend was a terrorist, unbreakable showed me not to trust people in wheelchairs
when i got shot by a guy i was supposed to kill, pulp fiction showed me that i dont have to be dead in the end like 6th sense, as long as i live my life non-linearly
i refuse to watch any live action film that does not have bruce willis, so i cant recomend paul blart until bruce stars in its eventual sequel, Die Hard/Mall Cop 7, MClaine vs. Blart

I watched it with a completely open mind and absolutely hated it. I think it overcomplicated relationships and everyone was way too overdramatic for me. Everyone said "Everyone can relate to this movie!" But no. I didn't. I think I didn't relate to it because I was neither part of the cool crowd, OR the lame crowd. I was really part of neither crowd, and hung out with a consist 3 people. I knew many people but didn't get close to any of them.

When I was the most depressed I've ever been in my life, Jacob's Ladder had a big impact on me. This is definitely its best line: "Eckhart saw Hell too. He said: The only thing that burns in Hell is the part of you that won't let go of life, your memories, your attachments. They burn them all away. But they're not punishing you, he said. They're freeing your soul. So, if you're frightened of dying and... and you're holding on, you'll see devils tearing your life away. But if you've made your peace, then the devils are really angels, freeing you from the earth."
I can't tell you anything else about the movie without spoiling it.
Edit: That quote is from Paul Blart. Sorry for the confusion.

I think you're referring to jet fuel and steel beams?
The joke is about conspiracy theories for 9/11.
The steel beams in the towers melted. Jet fuel doesn't burn hot enough to melt steel. The reason it is laughed off is that people foret that kenetic energy (movement energy) has to go somewhere when it stops. So it becomes heat. A plane crashing into it is enough energy to melt steel.

That movie makes me depressed because when I read the book I was the same age as Harry. That year, I got severely hurt, my dad nearly died (he's still kicking), and my dog died.
Random events all happened around that time frame. Seeing them that age just brings it all back.

But then I heard the TV mysteriously flip on in the room next to me, Paul Blart Mall Cop, I couldn't believe it, suddenly light shined upon me, I knew I was all right. That's how Paul Blart Mall Cop saved my life, thank you Kevin James, you magnificent bastard.

That moment really changed my life and made me realize that I needed to stop doing hard drugs and sucking dick for money so I stopped and now I'm happy and successful. Thanks Paul Blart Mall Cop!

Paul Blart Mall Cop 2.
After watching the first one, which brought me out of a deep depression I was in, due to living a life without Paul Blart in it. I immediately had to see more, it turned into an addiction.
So I did the only thing anyone else would do in that situation. I went to home depot for a few supplies, and started building a time machine. Which didnt work out well and I dont want to talk about it because it upsets me to much. So I watched Paul Blart again to get my inspiration and hope back. After a 3 day marathon I was ready to try again.
So off I went to Ikea this time and just picked up the time machine kit they have there and some meatballs as well.
3 hours and 57 meatballs later the time machine was complete. I then used it to travel to the premier of the now best movie Paul Blart Mall Cop 2.

I was 14 and going through a really awkward phase. I spent a lot of time on that anime forum Gaia Online. It's really embarrassing to think about the ass I was making of myself. One day, there was a promotion that gave everyone special event items for their avatars: moustaches and Segways. Turns out the promotion for this new movie that was coming out. Frankly, it looked kind of dumb, but having been given new shit to deck out my avi, I was basically obligated to go see it. That was how things worked there. So I went to see this movie, and it really changed the way I see the world. It made me realize that all that toxic weaboo crap was rotting my brain, and I started to focus on the truly important things in life. I can't thank Paul Blart enough for that.

When I was going through my divorce, every night I'd watch Silver Linings Playbook and Under the Tuscan Sun. After about two weeks of watching those movies, I decided he was really gone and it was time for me to move on with MY life. Those two movies helped me see my extremely difficult time in a positive way and gave me hope for my own future.
Edit: Well shit reddit, you got me. I answered before I read the thread. While those two movies did help me through the most difficult time in my life, the most meaningful movie that to this day still brings tears to my eyes is Paul Blart Mall Cop. I saw it with my ex, who was a crustacean from the protozic era, was about 8 stories tall, and always asked me for tree fiddy.

So I had Psuedobulbar affect which is basically this condition that causes chronic laughter. It's like Tourettes when it comes to inappropriateness.
I remember at school we had a speaker come in and talk about their experiences as a prisoner in a concentration camp during the holocaust and when they'd finished talking about a particularly grim incidence involving their wife just going missing one day and never being seen again I burst out laughing. The rest of the year understood my condition but the poor man giving the talk had no idea, I had to be ushered out so that the talk could continue.
Another time, more recently, I was talking with a girl at a party and it was going pretty well, we were having an intelligent conversation and while I did laugh at some weird spots it probably just came across as drunken giggles. But then she brought up the fact that her dad killed her mum before killing himself and I could feel myself about to laugh, the problem is the more I try not to laugh the worse it gets, so after a minute or so I just start laughing my ass off, then this girl slaps me, hard, and runs off crying.
I've tried to seek all kinds of help for this, i've been to doctors and psychiatrists, none of whom have been helpful. My mates always try and come up with ways to stop me laughing, one even suggested biting into a potato whenever I started laughing. However I'll always be indebted to my good friend Steve who suggested we watch some films to try and fix me. We watched Apocalypse Now and I laughed throughout, we watched Requiem for a dream and I laughed throughout, then we watched Paul Blart: Mall Cop and don't you know, I haven't laughed since.
God bless Paul Blart.

I'll second this. A guy I was in love with took the opportunity to burn me good in front of others, and twist the knife for no reason at all. The next day I went to see Tropic Thunder feeling like I had been eviscerated. I laughed my ass off--never have I been so grateful for a movie. I wish I could thank Ben Stiller personally.

I live at home with my dad, it is just me and him. We had a dog, who I've had since I was 5 years old (I'm 21 now). About 2 years ago they found a tumor on her lower jaw. They said that they could remove it if we wanted, but it would cost a lot of money, they would have to take her lower jaw off, and she was already 14 or so years old anyways, she didn't have much time left. Me and my dad decided to just let her live her life with as much dignity as possible, and at any sign of pain or discomfort we would bring her in to get her put down.
That happened about 2 months ago. I came home a wreck. I do not have any memories prior to having this dog. This dog as been part of my life since forever as far as I'm concerned, and I lost my best friend. We came home, cried for a little bit, then booted up apple TV and rented Guardians of the Galaxy. We saw it in theatres and loved it, so we watched it again. It really helped take my mind of things for a few hours.

You know what OP? I'm going to do you a solid and give you a real answer.
Back in junior year of high school, my best friend (more like a brother) had gotten in an accident where this dude ran a red light and t-boned his truck. He died on impact and it really fucked me up for some time.
About a year later, my other friends invited me to go see this new movie in the theaters and I went ahead to watch it. Turns out, Kevin James knows his shit and Paul Blart: Mall Cop got me through the death of my friend.
I can't think of a single tough time that doesn't involve me looking back at that silly guy and smiling.

Paul Blart aside, seriously, that movie is about abandoning ones own sanity for following an admittedly schizophrenic false prophet who uses semi-truths to manipulate people to focus their rage into his own power and the faults that lie within. Pay attention to the ending of that story. Tyler Durden was never the hero.

The Secret Life of Walter Mitty. No joke. My ex had just left me for another girl, I was in a really dark place, and I decided to go shopping and see a movie by myself. The film had already been out for a few weeks, so I sat in an empty theatre and watched it completely alone. It was such a funny and quirky movie, with a great message. Pretty much: leave your comfort zone, do something bold, and along the way you'll discover more about yourself that you never knew before.

Rubber. No reason.
"In the Steven Spielberg movie "E.T.," why is the alien brown? No reason. In "Love Story," why do the two characters fall madly in love with each other? No reason. In Oliver Stone's "JFK," why is the President suddenly assassinated by some stranger? No reason. In the excellent "Chain Saw Massacre" by Tobe Hooper, why don't we ever see the characters go to the bathroom or wash their hands like people do in real life? Absolutely no reason. Worse, in "The Pianist" by Polanski, how come this guy has to hide and live like a bum when he plays the piano so well? Once again the answer is, no reason. I could go on for hours with more examples. The list is endless. You probably never gave it a thought, but all great films, without exception, contain an important element of no reason. And you know why? Because life itself is filled with no reason. Why can't we see the air all around us? No reason. Why are we always thinking? No reason. Why do some people love sausages and other people hate sausages? No fuckin' reason."

After a suicide attempt in sophomore year (ugh high school) I watched Girl, Interrupted. Even now I struggle to describe how immensely that movie spoke to me. It was as if someone had heard all the thoughts in my head and made a movie about their interactions. Girl, Interrupted made me realize that no one was going to "save me". I had to choose to help myself. I had to have enough empathy for myself to heal.

This is not me, but my grandfather's story. His name is Steve Blart.
December 7th, 1941. I was stationed on the USS Arizona. At Pearl Harbor was a small theater, where people could relax. I sat down with my buds, Cpl. Stevens and Pvt. Smith. Were were going to watch The Philadelphia Story, when suddenly, the ghost of Kevin James appeared. He said unto us:
"You have been chosen to carry the burden of ultimate knowledge. I will show you enlightenment through my film "'Paul Blart: Mall Cop.'"
We were immobilized and forced to watch the masterpiece three times. It was the best 273 minutes of my life.
Then the Japanese attacked.
I was a radio operator. I ran to my post, and received a radio message from Admiral Veck Sims of the Japanese Navy. He said, "When are you gonna give up, Blart?"
I yelled into the receiver, "How about now? I'll meet you on the corner of "NE" and "VER"!"
I ran to the AA and gunned down 7 Japanese Zeroes. I turned around and watched my ship sink into the harbor. If it hadn't been for that film, I would have lost hope. But then I remembered Paul Blart's words:
"Safety never takes a holiday."

Serenity.
I was anxiety and depression was at an all time low, I couldn't work or go to school or sometimes even feed myself. I lived alone and cried myself to sleep more nights than not. Above all I felt like a waste of sace. I wasn't good for anything and just caused my friends and family pain and trouble.
Serenity is all about River Tam from Firefly (if you haven't seen it, go now. It's on netflix last I checked and there are SPOILERS ahead) who was a genius, brillantly talented girl until some bad people messed with her mind. By the time we meet her, she is utterly broken. She has severe psychosis, panic attacks, and generally has to be cared for and protected from herself by her older brother.
Throughout the series and movie she's pretty useless (and sometimes much more trouble than she's worth), just as I felt, but when it's really important she pulls through and saves the day.
TL;DR Serenity always gave me hope that maybe I was still worthwhile, no matter how broken I was.

I'd have you say V for Vendetta and doctor wgot. Now I'll quantify that somewhat.
A few years ago I left England to live with my wife elsewhere. And like you would expect you get terribly homesick and depressed around the holidays.V or vendetta started when i just wanted to feel close to home the first year i was away. Bonfire night was my favorite time of year af a child. Just watching a film based on the idea of guy fawkes made me feel better. Like i was back hone on November the 5th. This has become a yearly ritual with myself and my wife sitting down every November 5th to watch it.
Then it's the big one. As a child my father and i would watch old doctor who episodes at Christmas it was a tradition every year. This continued when BBC renewed the series in 2005. So every Christmas i get a copy from the net sit down and it makes me feel better about missing my friends and family. As i know they are doing the exact same thing as i am.
It may now seem much but it makes me feel more connected to my loved ones that are thousands of miles away every holiday season.
Edit-
The fuck is Paul blart mall cop?

Trainspotting. Studying for exams on a Saturday night. Nothing was sinking in. Started feeling super anxious and overwhelmed. Friends walk past and ask if I want to go up to someone's dorm to watch a movie. Thought to myself that I should go to bed,get some sleep and start early the next day. I am really glad I did not and watched trainspotting.

The movies that helped me through a rough time are Requiem for a Dream and The Basketball Diaries. I went through a very difficult time with addiction and seeing those two movies really made me reflect on the person that I had become. Especially the part where Leo's mom called the cops on him as he was begging for drug money. Ripped my heart out and I haven't looked back since. Requiem is a very, very dark brilliant film that truly captures the pitfalls of addiction. I would really recommend these films for anyone struggling.

I remember in High School I was feeling really depressed and decided to go see a random movie in theaters. I got tickets to see Meet the Robinsons. It made me feel so happy at the end. Now whenever I feel bad, I go to kids movie to recapture that fuzzy feeling.
Edit: Of course this feeling was never repeated until I saw Paul Bart Mall Cop.

Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl. It came out when I was 13, and in a mental hospital for the thousanth time when I was a kid. I had no reason to be in that place at that time, and my mother agrees with me, but I digress. As stated above, I was in mental hospitals several times for suicidal thoughts/major depression. I went through more than any child should have to handle, and I just wanted to end the suffering.
When POTC came out in theaters, my mom was able to get a pass for me so I could go away from the hospital for a few hours. We went to see this movie and it was the moment when I fell in love with Johnny Depp. His portrayal of (Captain) Jack Sparrow was amazing. For the first time in a long time, I truly laughed while watching the movie. From then on I have made it a point to watch Johnny's movies (some of which I have yet to see!) For a couple hours that day, he let me escape the hell of my world and enter an entirely different one. People don't understand why I love Johnny Depp so much, but it's a reason I like to keep to myself. It is my biggest dream to meet Johnny Depp, and to tell him in person how much Jack Sparrow (Captain), helped me heal from my inner demons. And how much he as an actor has provided me with a means to cope. That hospitalization was the last of several that I ever had for mental health issues. Thank you for this question, OP. It was nice to actually type all this out for once, even if no one reads it.
Edit: As I scroll through the replies I'm reading all of those "jokes" about Mall Cop. I'm sorry, OP, that that happened.

Non so far unfortunately. Recently I've had a lot of struggles in life. Money's been tight. I've had health concerns for the past few years and the doctors bills are piling up. I've been losing interest in my job because I dont enjoy it anymore. My cat ran away and my wife left in the same week and I may be getting evicted soon. The only break I get from life is sitting down with a good, inspiring movie and I could really use a good pick me on to get me motivated and back on my feet. So if anyone in this thread has any movie suggestions for someone who works as a mall security officer struggling in life and down on his luck, I'd love to hear it

Pitch Perfect. Over and over and over.
I'd gone through a really painful breakup with a guy who seemed like the whole package, but, unbeknownst to me, wasn't comfortable with the idea of being a part of my child's life (the moment he told me was the moment everything ended). So that weekend I had my cousin over and we had a bottle of wine each and finished them before the movie was over. And then I just kept watching it whenever I felt bad in the weeks that followed.

After my friend died in a horrible accident, every time I closed my eyes I could see the giant flashing fire ball that was her tragic end. After a night of tossing and turning and unable to get the screaming screech of that wheel out of my head I turned on the tv to break away from the madness. I started watching a movie about a young man who seemed like a loser but ended up being a grand hero. If it wasn't for Paul Blart and my emotional connection to his masterful role I'd still be in therapy.

Not me but my great grand dad was going through that film era where loads of spaghetti westerns were coming into the states. It coincided with the Great Depression so definitely a difficult time for him. He kept a journal that our family held onto because his story was quite inspiring since he went on to become very successful after the recession. Anyway it all came about thanks to the silent screening of perhaps one of the greatest spaghetti western classics, Pauly Blartholomew, Bazaar Cowboy. We still have the reel

OK, serious answer. Ten years ago I was kidnapped. I was a tourist in California and met a very good looking woman. We went back to her place but two other men were there and they knocked me unconscious. When I woke up, I was down a well in a basement. I could hear the yapping of a small dog and some weird music about horses. I yelled out for help and the music stopped but not the yapping.
A large figure appeared above me, it was Kevin James. I had seen him in that King of Queens show but barely knew him. I asked him to help me and he yelled at me. He lowered down a bucket of KFC chicken skins. I was to rub the chicken grease on my skin.
I was down there for two weeks before the police came and found me. They had help from Rob Schneider who was serving time for kidnapping local immigrants from Home Depot to choke him in the shower. They did catch Kevin James but the only punishment he got was to do some pro-Gay movie (apparently the officer who arrested him was big into gay rights).
I suffered from some serious PTSD. Every time I saw the Cornel I had a panic attack. I HATED Kevin James with a passion. I saw him as a monster. Then one day I put on Paul Blart: Mall Cop. I thought it was a Seth Rogan movie but then I was staring at my kidnapper once more. I was scared but then a chuckle came from me at his on screen antics. I was suprised at my reaction but then I laughed again. I had many guffaws watching that movie.
I now love Kevin James and am thankful for such a great movie in Paul Blart Mall Cop.

I was diagnosed with stage 6 lymphoma. Every day was physical and emotional pain, and being trapped in that hospital bed drained every bit of life left in me.
One morning, the nurse put on a movie on the tv in the corner of the room. It hurt to crane my neck but since I had nothing left to live for, I eagerly watched the screen. Kevin James' angel-like face appeared upon the screen. All it took was one glance and I felt as if a golden warmth spread throughout my body, from the top of my head to the very tips of my toes. I sat up and in amazement, I felt fine. No, better than fine. I felt FANTASTIC and I got up and skipped around as Kevin James' glory and love rained down on me. The doctor ran some tests and I was cured. It was true! Later that afternoon I walked out of that hospital full of glee, Kevin James' wonderful moustache stuck in my mind.
It was the same day that I wanted to pledge my allegiance to Paul Blart. I got his face tattooed on my dick and I've never made a better decision in my life.
Paul Blart saved my life. I love you, Kevin James.

Wow, not a lot of love for My Dinner With Andre on Reddit. This is a very uplifting movie that helps put things in perspective when life is hammering you.
I get that this movie isn't everyone's cup of tea, but the balance of up/down votes is still a bit puzzling. Really curious to know how such an quiet, elegant reflection on life could be received so negatively.
Also, I just enjoy talking about the movie, so feel free to chime with whatever.

Ahh. I see. I should have scanned the thread first. Admittedly, My Dinner With Andre touched only very briefly on the concept of mall security, and then only in the context of early 20th century surrealist poetry.
My most humble apologies.

Oh god, anything to take my mind off of her for a while- I lean towards gritty, seedy noir and stuff like Fight Club, Trainspotting, Barfly, etc.. But after a while I kind of found some solace in watching cheesy romances- Meet Joe Black comes to mind (god what a fucking terrible film that was!) I'm a little embarrassed to say the other ones- they were all terrible, actually- she ruined me! ;)

It was a really tough time in my life. my marriage was falling apart, i had a serious drinking problem, i was about to be evicted and i lost my job. then, like a shining beacon of light in the night, i saw a film. a film that spoke to me in a way i never thought possible. not only spoke to my mind, but spoke to my soul. i divorced my cheating wife, found a new job, went back to school and eventually got my masters in film and tv studies, all thanks to that film. that film was Paul Blart: Mall Cop.

I have really been going through a tuff time in both my personal life and also in my studies. I was really feeling down one night. I had been working on work all day and well into the night with no end in sight. I layed down on the floor of my dorm room and took a break from work to put on a movie. I wasn't even watching really watching at first but I started laughing at a few lines I heard. By the time the movie ended I was glued to ghe screen with tears of happiness streaming down my face. The movie? Paul Blart: Mall Cop.

Considering this thread has gone to shit I'll give you a suggestion that might help. After I dropped out of college my junior year due to depression my girlfriend left me and I was living at home getting shit from my parents everyday. Constantly being told that I was essentially taking up space and a useless human being. ( my parents have always been very harsh ) a friend of mine told me to watch Paul Bart Mall Cop.... And honestly it got my life back on the right track and now I'm in a healthy relationship and back in school wrapping up my last year!

Then one night I got really high and watched this beautiful movie full of dancing and gorgeous singing and heartbreak that taught me the meaning of a beautiful sadness and enabled me to live with where I was. Thank you Kevin James, Paul Blart mall cop was truly a masterpeice that saved my life.

Talladega Nights.
My parents had gone overseas. I had taken two weeks off work, and so had my brother. We had both broken up with our girlfriends that week. He was working in demolitions at the time and we scrapped a shitload of copper and made around $2000. Well, for those two weeks all we did was sit around, watch Talladega Nights, played Skate, and lived like kings!

Believe it or not, The Rugrats in Paris Movie. I was having a lot of family troubles and I decided to watch it out of nostalgia. It helped me realize that almost everything (except most diseases...sorry guys) gets better with time.
I feel like the new Seann William Scott movie "Just Before I Go" would've helped me a lot because I struggled with depression. It's just a reminder that everyone lives for someone.

When I lived in Colorado, I felt very lonely. I was straight out of the eighth grade and began attending an entirely new school (this school was 6th grade through high school, which made it even harder to fit in with the already established cliques). On top of this, I had moved away from my mother to live with my father. My mother was always so gentile and kind, but my father was much more ruthless and harder to deal with. But, I tried to pull through since I really wanted to go to this school.
It wasn't until a few months that a deep depression began to sink in. We had tried everything, therapy, exercise, more therapy, but all of it failed. Even with my new friends, I just felt empty and didn't feel like I was having nearly as much fun as I was having just last year. It got really bad to a point when I almost killed myself before my father got home. But, I tried my best to keep dragging on.
I took a stroll down to the video store as I usually would on a usual lonely Saturday and picked up a few movies. One of those films was The Perks of Being a Wallflower. I had heard a lot about this film and decided to check it out. I rented my movies and walked back home. Although I had gotten about 4 films that day, I was particularly excited to watch The Perks of Being a Wallflower. I was always a fan of coming of age films and, given all the positive feedback I had heard about this one, I could hardly wait to watch it.
As soon as I got home, I pulled out my usual chair and turned on the DVD player. I opened the copy of The Perks of Being A Wallflower and, low and behold, it was a copy of Paul Blart: Mall Cop. I watched that instead, which caused my dick to grow and everyone at my school to praise me. Movie's dope af.

My little brother got hit with a car when I was 13. All day I'd sit around looking for something to make me happy again, fill the void the car had made in my soul. My dad knew he needed to help me, so he took me to the movies. The film was Alvin and The Chipmunks, and goddamn was it amazing. I saw it 37 times before it left theatres and then waited in agony for it to come out on DVD. Finally I was able to buy a copy and popped it my DVD player. The chapter skip button on my remote was broken so I let it show me all the trailers. The first trailer? Paul Blart: Mall Cop.
Thanks Alvin and the Chipmunks, for being good enough to introduce me to my new tough times movie, and thanks car for killing my brother and making this all possible

Never thought much about this before... Just seemed like a kinda natural thing to do. You see, my dog died at the age of 14. I was only three years older. Truly a trying time for me. Instead of being able to recover, my uncle's brothers' daughters' goldfishes' co-owners' dog died that same day. He was a good friend of mine and we didn't know what to do. We looked around at gateway drugs, but were stopped for loitering... Paul Blart Mall Cop was the only thing that got us through high-school.
Would definitely recommend.

I'd just missed my train for my job interview. "Every FUCKING time" I shouted. I'd been unemployed for a year, it seemed like something just wanted me to fail. I had no girlfriend, I was missing payments on my apartment, and now, I'd lost yet another chance at a job. I kicked the pavement. Shouted and groaned for all the world to hear. I was considering ending it all. Really fucking dark stuff.
But then.
"Ouch" there was blood coming from my head
A blu-ray DVD on the ground, it must have hit me.
Paul Blart Mall Cop was the title.
I went home, popped it in my Wii and hit play. What occurred next I can hardly recall. A blur of sights and sounds, the inspirational antics of Kevin James soothed me into a state of pure bliss. I set out the second the movie ended and turned my life around.
Some of you may know who I am today.
A mogul of sorts.
My name? Shaquille O'neal. Paul Blart saved my life.

when I found out my girlfriend might've been pregnant, I was scared. I knew if she was, her parents would never let me see her again, they probably would've kicked her out, and she wouldn't be able to forgive me. I was terrified, she had all the symptoms, sensitive breasts, delayed period, and she even threw up a few times. I didn't know what to do with my life. I lost my appetite, and my friends couldn't even get a smile out of me, despite their best efforts, I even contemplated jumping a couple of times. Until, as if God himself was speaking to me, a movie came up to my attention on television. Paul Blart: Mall Cop. I admit, when I saw the trailers when I was young and innocent, I never paid too much attention to it. But seeing Kevin James playing guitar hero, and defending what he cared about, what really MATTERED to him, I knew I had to do the same for my girl. I told her we would rise to face whatever came our way. She actually wasn't pregnant as if we were given a second chance at youth. Thank you, Kevin. Your story has saved our love, and my life.

I ended up making some... questionable choices through growing up so when I was in my early adulthood (Roughly the 20-25 range) I was into all kinds of bad stuff.
I had no contact with my parents because of their disapproval of my heavy drug use and many of my friends from high school had gone on to collage or had become successful it seemed to me in one way or another. I still worked though, just not very hard or for very long. Basically just enough to be able to jump from motel to motel and pay for the bus fare.
I was to the point where I was basically that guy you see in the old movies who is the classic stereotype of a homeless person. I looked terrible, had no home, basically did anything to make a quick buck to either get some shit food or get some more drugs. I felt like I should have just given up.
Years later though, here I am. I cleaned myself up and got a decent job, as good of one as I could have gotten, and I even had enough extra money laying around to get myself the first thing i ever truly loved. A tattoo! just a small one and it's of my favorite creature on earth, the Lochness Monster. After seeing how good a job Kevin James did in Paul Blart Mall Cop, it helped me aspire to be a little bit more.

When I was 9, I fell into a deep well. I had to tread water for hours, until finally someone came to help me, my dog. He unfortunately fell straight in, drowned after ten minutes, I couldn't keep him afloat RIP MAISY :'(. Eventually my Mom noticed something different, something was gone, the dog. She came out yelling Maisy's name and I called out to her, she saved me. Months of therapy and counseling couldn't help me, but one day I sat down and watched a movie, Paul Blart: Mall Cop. It was truly a freeing experience and I felt my fear of closed spaces disappear, a month later, I grew my wings and flew away from my terrible mother.
I'm now a butterfly. THANKYOU PAUL BLART

Well this won't be seen, but...
What kind of a rough time? Usually anything that will distract you, and make sure it's part of a group of movies or long movies or something.
So any good trilogies or movie chronicles, like Matrix, Batman Chris Nolan, Indiana Jones, Star Trek films (not the Abrahms lens flare, I mean TOS actors), Harry Potter, the Marvel Universe movies, Star Wars, LOTR.
Unless you want to confront what's going on with your life. I'd probably need more information to be actually informative on what genre/type of films are relevant to your problem.

Fun with Dick and Jane. I was going through my first huge breakup and after I saw that movie I realized that there will be someone out there who gets you for your quirks and will put in as much effort to make things work out no matter what as you do. Which both Dick and Jane did for one another to make ends meet. Plus its a pretty damn good movie.

Haha this thread is too funny. But in all seriousness, growing up was a hard time. My family had just moved from Vietnam to the states and I had a tough time adjusting to American culture. Sometimes I would come home, horrified at how homesick I was. My mom had brought with us a collection of VHS tapes from Vietnam and I remember one in particular titled "Poc Llam Tralb Laup" that would always bring a smile to my face and make me feel right at home.

The Dark Knight Rises. I understand it is not the greatest of movies, but I was 18 years old had just finished up my freshmen year at CSUN and was completely done. I came in to school as an art major but I could not paint anymore to save my life so before my freshmen year started I switched to Journalism.
I never took a Journalism class during my freshmen year and at the end I did not really love journalism. I was in love with the idea of watching NBA games for the rest of my life. However that is not changing anything that was conforming in my eyes. So I finish my freshmen year and I failed a class. Which shattered my dreams of transferring to USC. I was in a bad relationship this girl was pretty abusive and my dad was just out of chemotherapy.
So I went to the valley between my freshmen and sophomore years. I was working part time at a Papa Johns my cousin was manager of. Around that time I decided I wanted to direct movies so I made the major change at school. While living in the valley with my cousin since I wanted some type away from LA. There was nothing to do so instead of getting into trouble we watched at least 4 movies a day and went to the discount movies at least once a week. This is where I developed a deep love for films.
So I was already surging with creativity and when the dark knight rises comes around here I see Nolan catching some scenes in places I walk by. Places I have seen and would have loved to capture on screen myself. So nostalgia certainly played a role in it. Especially the horrible shooting it all boiled down to I want to make people feel this epic and heaven on earth feeling that movies make me feel.
Since my movie pallet has dramatically increased however it was nolan that put me on. I am graduating in May and I just won a scholarship for a feature film I wrote. DOPE!

I was actually going through a tough time after I had dropped out of college. My first semester was terrible and I had finished the term with a 1.8 GPA. I had originally been a mass communications major, with plans to go into radio but just couldn't handle all the stress that came with school.
So after dropping out, I spent most of my days at home and working at my current job at a movie theatre. One day in switching posters and I find this bad boy. Went straight to Redbox straight after that and I now my life has been changed for the better.

Guys, I just wanted to say that this thread is hilarious.
I started to shake from laughter, and I accidentally scratched my cornea as I itched my eyes.
I immediately tried to grab the phone to dial 911, but without depth perception, I knocked the phone off its stand, and it shattered on the floor.
My hands were covered in eye blood, and I didn't know what to do, and I couldn't get help. I cried from the eye I could, and sat down on my couch. My eye was in too much pain to go to sleep, so I sat there for an hour. I considered suicide so strongly, as I struggle with depression and this was the lowest of lows.
Before I left though, I figured I'd watch a movie from my large collection. I have to say, watching Paul Blart: Mall Cop is the only reason I am still alive at this moment. It took me out of my deepest agony, and I can now rest in peace.
I really did just gouge my eye though goddammit

I'm glad you asked OP. Back in december, both my cats died in the same week (one got hit by a car, the other a coyote got to him). Then the week after that, my Grandfather died after struggling with Alzheimers for 5 years. Needless to say, my whole family was distraught, and we needed something to take our minds off the tragedies. Instead of listing the movies, here is an imgur album with all the titles and promo posters for them so you can pick for yourself :)

It wasn't that she was strung out on drugs, it was that she let anyone inside her both physically and emotionally.
I tried to love her but she had no limits and there were so many parties and men and women and pushers and dealers and ragers and takers.
I couldn't find my place.
She was beautiful but in a way that something floating in the breeze about to disappear is beautiful. There is no time to catch it on camera. You look a bit harder and hope the image burns through your retina and never leaves your memories.
I got the news she had died a few months later. She and a girlfriend of hers had been camping and she had been stabbed and nobody that knew her even flinched. If it hadn't been this way, it would have surely been another.
Few tears were shed but I remembered her for the way she used to wrap her legs around my body and hold me as we made love and I never wanted it to end.
And sometimes, when I would feel the itch near my tear ducts and my mind would race to try to avoid the sadness of loss and grasp quickly towards those happier times when she and I were together, I would think of Paul Blart Mall Cop and I would feel like the world was a place of color and vitality once again.
If I ever get a chance to see Kevin James, I'll hold him close quickly but I'll be holding him for both her and me.

I was in 6th grade and the love of my life just had her best friend call and break up with me. I was so sad.
Anthony Edwards plays a college kid I think who is seduced by an East German spy but he and the American way win in the end.
I sat and watched this movie on a dreary rainy afternoon just feeling sad, watching Edwards' character go through all the things I was going through. About the same time he won the girl back, my ex's best friend called me back and told me she changed her mind and wanted me back.
tl;Dr
Me and the main character in Gotcha! were simpatico.

Swingers (1996) Helped me to finally get over a 13 year old relationship that I was heavily invested in with my ex-girlfriend, it also helped me to stop going out partying with a bunch of fake friends and getting wasted every night (telling myself that I was making up for all them lost years). The film got me to refocus my life by ditching the fake friends except two of my besties and to invest all my energy on my full time job. After 5 years living my life this way I managed to become one of the superiors at my job but most importantly became a husband and a father. Both my wife and daughter knows that "swingers" is my favorite movie but they may not realize how important it was for me.

Saw the film a week after the girl I was in love with abruptly dumped me after two years of an amazing relationship. At the time I was a huge piece of shit, out of shape, and unmotivated. The film really showed me the importance of having a goal and putting all of your focus into what you're passionate about. I am currently on the straightest path I've ever been on in my life.

Office space, actually. A few months ago I was in a little bit of a depression, and I had the same attitude as the main guy: I don't want to do anything. I had no job, just dropped out of school, things were going downhill... And that movie, combined with a big help from my parents, helped me to get out and get a job and such. I'm much better now

Shortly after things went sour with a girl I thought I was madly in love with, I saw 500 Days of Summer. That movie taught me that no matter how crazy you think you are about someone, that it's truly, honestly, not always meant to be, and the reason for that is because someone better WILL come along.
My Autumn came along and I wouldn't trade her for anyone.

I was wrecked by one movie, and given hope via another. When I was a teen, I saw Deer Hunter and learned the awful truth about mankind - that man was not kind, by nature. We're all born good? Bovine-Scat!! We're darkness with a side of good - the image of the Creator stamped all over our sorry asses, whether we admit it to ourselves or not. Which brings me to film 2:
The Ninth Configuration. This movie reaffirmed my HOPE for man - that it can only come from (and through an example from) without. See it for yourself and put the pieces together, if you haven't. Stacey Keach is awesome, as is every actor in this piece. It's disturbing as all get out, but somehow, light pours through and brings you back to faith ... William Peter Blattey (The Exorcist's Director) wrote this and directed it. If you have an intellect and a soul, it'll dent them both nicely.

Clueless helped me through a bad shrooms trip.
Everything was going swell until i decided to go to the bathroom. I was at my friends house so I went and used her bathroom, but when I turned on the light switch the bulb blew out, and the only light in the bathroom was from the fluttering fluorescent lights above the mirror. I twas all downhill from here. I started freaking out, I went out the wrong door (it was a jack and jill type bathroom), and went into her roommates room. Her roommate wasn't there but her dog was, and somehow I took this as a sign that I had died in the bathroom and I was in a weird Beetlejuice-esque Purgatory and that this Australian Cattle Dog was my guide in the Afterlife. I seriously believed that if I stepped outside of the house I would be eaten by those giant sand worms. So I started talking to the dog and was starting to accept, and even enjoy my new state of being. Then my friends roommate came home , so I hustled through the Jack and Jill bathroom and back into the Living room. My friend, her boyfriend, and my friends roommate were all just talking, and I snuck back in and sat in a chair in the corner. I thought I was a ghost. Then my friend asked me a question. I started freaking out, maybe i wasn't dead after all, and this thought scared me even more than the thought of me being dead for some reason. My friend tried to calm me down, and she asked if I wanted to go outside to get some air, but I still feared the Sand Worms, so I refused. Finally she decided we should watch a movie to get my mind off of being dead, so she asked me what movie I would want to watch. I thought about all of my favorite movies and which ones always made me feel the most joy. So I settled on Clueless. It saved me from death.
EDIT: and apparently Paul Blart: Mall Cop as well, specifically the scene where he jokes about having a mother slice of pie.

I'm really late for this but I do have an answer to the question.
The Secret Life of Walter Mitty is a movie I watched during a time in my life when I was in a massive rut with absolutely no motivation and I was completely unhappy with my life.
After watching that film I felt inspired to make something of myself and to actually get out of bed in the morning and do something. Whenever I feel myself slipping into such a rut again, I rewatch that movie and it fills me with the same feeling.
It's not the best movie, objectively. But it has more meaning to me than any other film probably.
edit: just looked down the replies and saw what this thread became. I'm so sorry OP.

I happened to turn on this documentary called Microcosmos around 3:00 a.m., when I was about 5 hours into a term paper I was writing for a grad seminar course. No dialogue, just music and lots of close-up shots of insects and plant life in France. Took me about 40 minutes to even notice the lack of narration. Immensely satisfying documentary, and something about the whole mood of it just recharged my batteries and helped me relax. Would definitely recommend it to others, stressed or not.

When I was 12-13, various life events happened that pretty much made me question trusting certain people I loved dearly. The general sort of drama that happens when you realize your parents are human, just like the rest of the world. Amelie helped me when I was at my lowest.
If I ever felt just miserable, which seemed quite often at that age, I'd put Amelie in the vcr and just sit in the dark and let the beauty of the film wash over me. The characters, the dialogue, the pacing, the cinematography, and the incredibly sweet music just seemed to come together for the short period it was on the screen, reminding me how wonderful life is. Watching Amelie still makes me feel that way. Because it's a movie about joy, and bringing joy to those around you.

Time, keeping busy, trying not to dwell on it and build things up to be more than they actually were. Not much you can do besides that, emotions fade rather than just turn off. Keep busy and show yourself you can have a rad time by yourself.

I think I began to appreciate life more when watching this small independent film, where Steve Carr really evolves from a director into a refined auteur and shows his true skill in turning a film into true art instead of commercial cinema he paints a scene of what it is to really be a mall cop. He displays simplicity on the surface but that is soon shown to be what is so complex when a simple man get's contested and his morals are crossed and you see in front of you a man who has been dammaged by the betrail of his skateboarding protege in paul ฮตฮผฯฮฟฯฮนฮบฯ ฮบฮญฮฝฯฯฮฟ blart ฮผฯฮฌฯฯฮฟฯ.

Annapolis was pretty inspiring for me. I kinda interpreted it along the lines of: we are not really limited by our intelligence, but our ambition and drive.
It sounds a bit cliche, but just keep on doing something until you get what you want. Even if you fail constantly, just give yourself another opportunity to prevail.
I'ts not really a deep movie, just pleasantly reassuring way of looking at things.

Not a movie but I found How I Met Your Mother while I was going through a really bad breakup where I was pretty much cutting myself and just super depressed. I pretty much binged watched it until i had caught up to season 9 which took me a while since i really wanted to enjoy the show. Once I reached season 9 I couldn't finish it. It had helped me get through such a tough time in my life that I didn't want it to be over. I saw season 9 but never watched the last 2 episodes. About 2 months ago I finally saw the series finale and I plan on watching the series all over again. HIMYM will always hold a special place in my heart for helping me.

Possibly the movie "Her". All the bad things in life just seemed to vanish. Under my depression I found happiness. Life is just a big misunderstanding.
Believe it or not a single movie saved me. Love is easy to obtain, but hard to save. Another movie I loved was "about Schmidt". Regardless, I fell back into a funk. To me it seems beautiful that life is so simple.
My family noticed my depression, gave me some movies. After it was all said and done I learned allot. Life is crazy. Love is bizarre.
Come to terms with your existence. Offer love to those who need it. Peace is easy, and kindness is special.

I was hit with some severe anxiety for a long period of my life so bad to point that I needed to keep my mind busy otherwise I would start to have a panic attack.
I didn't have cable in my room, so I borrowed a DvD and watched it over and over at night until I feel asleep (I did this for almost a year). The movie was The Patriot. During the day I played a lot of 007 and Mario Cart on N64 to get me through.
Ironic part is that the movie Fight Club got me thinking so much that it triggered a panic attack, which turned into years of severe anxiety. It wasn't until later that I realized I always had anxiety issues, but this was my tipping point.

Not a movie, but a tv sit com. I know everybody loves Raymond is not liked by reddit, but it sure helped my family and I. My husband had cancer, and was in the hospital for 3 weeks while they tried to stabilize him. Hospital tv sucks. And at the time my kids were from age 25-13. ELR was something that the whole family could watch and get some smiles, if not laughs. We watched it every night, even when we got home. He got on hospice care, and was at home as he got sicker almost every day. He got to where he couldn't speak, but I still turned it to the show every day (by then it was in syndication). It was on when he started gasping for air. Then I turned off the tv and held his hand and told him I loved him til he was gone. For years later I was obsessed by that show. It reminded me of him and our kids and his mom and the life we all shared. Down vote me for 1) Everybody Loves Raymond, 2) cancer story 3) karma ho. It's all true, though. And the fact that I read that Sawyer Sweeten committed suicide was heart-wrenching to me. I don't know how , at 19, you feel all is lost. My heart goes out to the Sweeten family. They gave us smiles and stability when we needed it.

I hate the fact that even though you guys are making fun of it, Paul Blart is now slowly being cemented within pop culture because you all keep on mentioning it. I honestly just want it to fade away into nothing. It doesn't even deserve to even be referenced in an ironic way. It just needs to be forgotten.

Into the Wild
I had just gone through finding out I may have a chronic illness, nearly had a car accident that would have killed me and was finally starting to kick a nasty addiction (Fucking Adderall is no joke). I didn't know what was up, what was down. I was caught in a whirlwind of life. I left. I moved to a place where I had no friends and knew no one. Severely depressed, questioning everything I knew about life. Everything I had been told up to that point didn't matter. You know, how they tell you you should live life. Go to school, get a job and what not. I'm sick. Fuck, I nearly died when my brake line blew out on the freeway... What the fuck did any of that stupid way of living matter if it can all be taken away from you in an instant? If your entire future plans are gone after a doctors appointment? Go to the office and work for retirement? Ha! Fuck that. You might not even make it that far.
It was a deep, dark, existentially depressed time. It lasted months. I was a broken human being. Had to be built back up from scratch. The movie, and the book, that brought me back was "Into The Wild"
It showed me there were other ways to live. With this inspiration, I saved up some money and hit the road. For five years. Lived in four different countries, had an amazing assortment of jobs and experiences. Met thousands of people from all over the world and now am saving up for my biggest adventure yet.
This movie and book saved me. There was a part in the story that took place mere miles, just down the road actually from where I was holed up. Really connected with me. Stopped me from ending it. It made me "Keep Going". Inspired me to live the way I do.
Even though I may or may not, this is not known yet, have the time other people have on this earth, due to medical issues, I will use the time I do have to live, and dream, explore and discover.

It was early 2009, my girlfriend had just broken up with me and I was a mess since it was our first relationship. I thought we were going to get married and have 2 and a half kids with a white picket fence around our house.
I was a blubbering mess, but a friend of mine set me up with his friend to go watch a movie. I wasn't sure if I was ready yet, since it had only been maybe two weeks since I had broken up with the love of my life, but I decided why not.
I met her at the theater later that day and we really hit it off. Soon we got situated in our seats, and waited for the movie to start.
After it, we couldn't believe our eyes. We went together to see it again maybe five or six times. Afterwards, I kept going out with her and soon, I had forgotten all about my ex.
I'm get married to her in June.
The movie?
Paul Blart, Mall Cop.

I once was seriously depressed. Lost all my money in the Doge Market. I wanted to watch something to cheer me up so I watched Don't Mess With The Zohan. This almost pushed me to the edge. I reached for the bottle of pills. Underneath sat a sealed bluray. I lifted it and noticed a robust moustached fellow looking up at me. I decided I could live another 90 minutes. Little did I know, those 90 minutes would save my life.
After non stop laughter and pure wonderment over the original quick witted screen writing, Kevin James's brilliant physical comedy and phenomenal directing. My life turned around. Since watching Paul Blart Mall Cop I've made many good life choices. I am married to a Playboy model and make over 500k a year. Thank you Kevin James. Thank you Paul Blart. You saved me.

Mud (2012). Mathew McConaughy's played his tragic character really well, and I identified with in some ways, it guided me through a period of introspection, when I figured out what the hell is wrong with me. Annie Hall is a movie I checked out later that I think rests on the same themes that I saw in Mud. And goes a few steps further on the same idea of damaged men.

When I was a child I saw my mother killed by something impossible, my father went to prison for her murder, then an accident made me the impossible.
To the outside world I'm an ordinary forensic scientist, but secretly I use my speed to watch Paul Blart: Mall Cop and find others like me, and one day, I'll find who killed my mother and get justice for my father. I am The Flash!

I know it's pretty cliche, and it's widely recognized as one of the greatest movies out there. But nothing beats that part where Luke Lightyear says "You're a cantaloupe, Frodo". Well, nothing except the delightfully uplifting humour of Paul Blart Mall Cop. This movie will make you shit hundred dollar bills, cure your embarrassingly bad herpes, and your dick will grow 3 feet longer (doctors hate this trick).

Well, it's technically a movie now but I've never seen it- only read it; It's Kind of a Funny Story. I finished reading the book right before ending up in a psychiatric hospital for wanting to kill myself. The book really helped prepare me for the real thing, apparently. Funny thing is- in the book the kid mentions "Swee Touch-Nee tea" and the hospital I stayed in just so happened to have the same exact tea. When I saw it I was all "IT'S REAL!"
It was delicious.

I'm embarrassed to say Titanic. I was in my early 30s, and having a real tough time socially/romantically. For some reason, DiCaprio's character had such balls, such independence. I went to see it about 5 times in the theater alone, just to sort of get his supremely confident, 'all-I-need-is-the-air-in-my-lungs' attitude really engrained in my head. It really worked, and got me out of a tough time and gave me some real backbone when I was feeling really weak and vulnerable.

But to be fair, I'd have to go with Edward Scissorhands, which I recently watched with my little-sister. Even though I don't think it's the best movie ever made, I still find it to be very cathartic when I'm in a melancholy mood :) .
Wait, what am I saying? Sorry, I meant to say Mall Cop. I'll always be thankful for how it cured both my parkinson, psoriasis and sociopathy, and helped me out of my krokoheroin addiction.

On Nov. 29, 2011, I was crushed in an accident. I died at the scene and during surgery. Today I am recovering from the accident. I had my small intestine removed, part of my colon and bowel, and my pelvis was broken and shattered along with intensive nerve damage to my right leg. They didn't expect me to live as I was induced to a coma for five days. When I came to, I had a breathing tube and a feeding tube. My pelvis wasn't surgically repaired, as they were waiting until the internal organs were healed enough. Paul Blart Mall Cop was watching over me during this time as Paul Blart Mall Cop watches over us every day. It has been a hard road towards recovery and healing, but Paul Blart Mall Cop is the great physician. Paul Blart Mall Cop has a plan for me, and this is why I didn't die on that Tuesday, November 29, 2011. Paul Blart Mall Cop is good. Often times we take life for granted and question, "Paul Blart Mall Cop, why me?" Pray, mediate on his movie, thank him for the good things that have happened in our lives, study, watch, and fellowship with other believers.

When I was very depressed in high school, almost to the point of suicide, I thought rationally: I'm depressed, I have very little about myself I can call "special," the unhappiness I see in the people whose lives represent what mine will become is an inevitability.
Thinking like that is a positive feedback loop, you make yourself sadder by thinking you're sad and will never be happy. It become its own cause. The term "self fulfilling prophecy" comes to mind.
One day I decided to think logically, but instead focus on the positives, and one stood out, which I give as the standard advice to any one who is in a similar position.
Depression is a series of chemical reactions in your brain to make you think illogically. If you're depressed, and you're in a time of chemical turmoil (puberty), there's a good chance it will pass on its own. It doesn't seem like it ever will, but the hope and optimism you can muster up will make a big difference.
This kind of thinking helped pull me out of depression.
Also, in a more direct answer to your question, I always found this from 4chan to be oddly motivating to not off myself, once again based on some pretty basic logic.
It moved the idea of suicide to the idea of doing what I really want to do (which being 15 and suicidal, I had no idea), which I never got around to. Maybe someday I will. In the end, this made suicide a bad choice no matter how you cut it (which should be obvious).

I am obsessed with my work. I'd rather be working than doing anything else. And I enjoy every second of it. It makes me truly happy. However, I am usually on the receiving end of comments such as "you're going to burn out", "some moderation is good", "you're missing out on life", etc from well meaning friends and family. A few months ago, I noticed these comments were starting to take their toll, and I found myself questioning my work habits and hours. I couldn't have watched "Jiro Dreams of Sushi" at a better time. While my husband and friends saw him as a man who led a miserable life, I saw him as a person who was living his dream. The man is an inspiration, a living legend. Any doubts I had about my work were gone instantaneously. Now I begin everyday by telling myself "Let's make some Sushi".

Honestly I believe that Theatre-going and maybe movies in general are coming to a close. To follow Paul Blart Mall Cop with any movie would just be a disaster to the entire industry. It's like following Jerry Seinfeld at the Laugh Factory with your Uncle Fred. Nothing will ever be the same again. All your senses will be dulled, your mind will be bored, you will never again be able to sit down and enjoy another DVD without Kevin James in the back of your mind, always whispering to your subconscious that you're watching an inferior movie.
My grandfather came over just the other day, he and I sat down on the sofa and watched Paul Blart Mall Cop. The weird thing was... my grandfather has been dead for 10 years. He literally crawled out of his grave to watch this movie. Apparently death can't hold back someone from watching this movie.

Gattaca always made me feel not so shitty about being suicidal.
I was suicidal up until a couple years ago, and even though it's passed (for now?) I still sincerely feel there isn't any shame in doing it. I think the stigma other people attach to it is absurd. I don't think it's always selfish, and even if it is... Wanting someone who wants to die to live is pretty fucking selfish too.

I went to see Inception in theaters, it really helped me cope with the death of my wife, who had passed a few months before from Lou Gehrig's disease. The way that the characters interacted, the search for meaning in a place that was meaningless, the yearning for a unique life experience. Turns out half way through the movie I went into the wrong theater, instead of Inception I was watching Paul Blart Mall Cop.

Personally, this poem has always helped through rough times.
A boat, beneath a sunny sky
Upon an evening in July
Lingering onward dreamily --
Babies three that nestle near,
Looking eye and willing ear,
A pleasing simple tale to hear --
Retired long ago, that sunny sky:
Time fades and memories die:
Mighty frosts have slain July.
Always haunts me, phantomwise,
Lucy moving under skies
Long since seen by waking eyes.
Children yet, the tale to hear,
Open eye and willing ear,
Pleasantly shall nestle near.

Very vague question. Because it depends on the year. But I'll bite...
After deciding to leave my abusive ex husband? Saved!. That Jesus movie with the guy from Home Alone. Fucking laughed my ass off. It was also after a major surgery. And I was pretty high on Percocet. But yes, Saved is up right there.
Same time, but moving forward, Waiting. T-Dog makes me laugh. "I'll cut you." "Push the fish, it's about to turn." Love that movie.
A year later, it was Little Miss Sunshine. I could watch Olive's dance at the end over and over. Poor girl.
I also watched Napoleon Dynamite often during this time. 'Break the wrist and walk away' is something that my kids and I say all of the time. Along with me screaming "someone needs to feed Tina." In reference to feeding the cat. They are 10 and 12. They had no clue what I was talking about but knew that when mom said "Tina needs food." That they need to feed the cat. So I have that going for me.

I saw the film "Sleepwalk With Me" with my abusive girlfriend of four years. I hated the film, particularly the weak willed protagonist who I thought was too big of a pansy to be likable for not getting out of the relationship he clearly hated.
I spoke to my best friend who recommended it to me about it the next day; he was startled I had such a visceral reaction. It was at that moment I realized I was projecting my own feelings about my terrible relationship onto the poor little indie film. I broke up with her two weeks later.
I'm now happily engaged to a different, wonderful woman and that friend who recommended the film is now my best man. If only Ira Glass and Mike Birbiglia would come to my wedding next year...

Meditation.
Might seem like a cop-out answer to some but I've grown to feel that even if I lost everything, it wouldn't matter because I'd still have it. I'd still have myself.
Every time I see a film where the protagonist is struggling with reality, with their own mind or just the bullshit they're surrounded with, I feel lucky to have this gift.
It's my ace in the hole. And that hole is life's dark anus.

My Jewellery store was recently robbed and I lost everything, I had no where else to go, nothing left worth living for.
It came to the day where I decided I'd had enough of being down and put Paul Blart's Romantic comedy "Mall Cop" into my DVD player. He'd done again.
That man saves lives, all hail Baul Plart !
Edit: Press F for respect.

Attempting to answer this thread seriously. For me it was Artificial Intelligence by Spielberg/Kubrick. I always watch this film alone & coincidentally it's also the film which I cried the most & it always helps to release all that emotion of isolation, rejection & self pity through this film, then be my normal functioning confident self when I'm with people.

As a classical pianist facing all the challenges of a music performance degree, "The Prestige" helped me keep my commitement to music in perspective. The way that movie contrasts the extremes of artistic ambition and obsession really helped me keep my head on straight when it came down to working extremely hard but not losing my mind with stress or a sense of inadequacy.

Serious answer: Spirited Away. It's my favorite movie growing up. I still rewatch it from time to time. The main character inspires me to stay strong and remember who I am. It's the only way to get through tough times of your life. This message (along with other ones) is well communicated through the plot and direction.
There's no personal stories to tell. It's just a movie that I very much appreciate and recommend.

The Secret Life of Walter Mitty. Had just found out that my girlfriend at the time was cheating on me and having attention seeking problems. I hadn't broken up with her yet as we were in an LDR and I wanted to do it in person. Watched that movie and cried at the quote "beautiful things don't ask for attention." That's when I realized that this physically gorgeous girl wasn't beautiful at all.

Pink Floyd's The Wall. When I first experienced real depression in high school, things that were happy made me angry. The Wall just made sense to me. It made me feel like someone else understood me. I watched that movie every single day for over a year. I couldn't sleep without it. Now, I can't even listen to the music. I just put so many strong emotions into it, that hearing it brings it all back. In a way it was really therapeutic to be able to put all of my dark feelings into something like that and be able to just leave them all behind.

Pretty much any Miyazaki film but specifically Howl's Moving Castle. There's just something incredibly comforting about that movie. Sophie is so comfortable being old that idk how to describe it.

When I was a kid I had a really abusive step mother. It escalated to point where I was kept in a room with an alarm on the door so she would know if I tried to get out. My father always chose winners for partners and was a weak man and just let it happen. Twice a year my stepmother would go on vacation to Hawaii and leave me and my dad. He would bring me a portable DVD player and some movies to watch while she was gone for the week. The one he usually brought was a Alice in wonderland remake with whoopi Goldberg as the Cheshire Cat and I loved it. I think back on it with fond memories and am glad it fueled my imagination to get me through those years.

I really hate being late to these threads.
No on will probably see this, but shortly after I lost my wife to cystic fibrosis I went through a pretty dark phase where I didn't leave my apartment. I just stayed inside and watched every possible movie I could get my hands on... mostly to try and distract myself from the pain.
Then I watched The Fountain.
At the end of the movie 'Tommy finally understands what Izzie was telling him, and he is able to accept her death and move on with his life, with less regret, and more understanding of his place in the universe.'
I left my apartment the next day.

Forgetting Sarah Marshall, I watched it all day everyday after my ex fiance left me, weeks before the wedding. I wouldn't eat, I took time off from work, and I'd feel like shit; but whenever I popped that movie in it made me feel alright, until it ended. Then I'd restart it and watch it again, shit it was the only way I could even go to bed. Weeks went by and I got out of my funk and life moved on for the better :)

A couple years ago we had to put my dog down because he was bit by a rabid wolf and was infected with rabies. It was a really sad time. I didn't want to eat, I didn't want me to go to school, I wouldn't do anything.
Then my parents talked a psychiatrist friend of theirs. She suggested I watch a movie that I could relate to the main character because we basically had just gone through the same thing. Seeing the protagonist overcome my same struggles really help me reconcile the loss of my dog.
It still brings tears to my eyes when I think about how Paul Blart: Mall Cop helped me heal.

Treasure Planet!
Also the live action version of the book, Treasure Island (2012). Treasure Island was a trippy experience... crazy camera angles out the whazoo and a surreal but lucid feel to it, with plenty of emotion. Same reason I thought Dragon Hunters was a good movie to watch when feeling down; very strange but good to watch.
Clichรฉ by now: as a kid, I loved watching Spirit: Stallion of the Cimarron. Not for a rebellious feel, but because it shows this horse overcoming obstacles, hitting his own depression, and pulling through.

Little late to the party but Mulan
My mom wasn't around so my very narcissistic sister was the one raising me mostly. I was a tomboy and she started trying to strip me of that toughness and tell me how girls are supposed to be. Then Mulan came out and I saw the fierce warrior who saved her country and family without being "beautiful". I still get teary eyed on the Reflection scene. So not really a rough patch more my whole childhood

I'll give you a not PBMC answer. Last time i got dumped i watched 500 days of summer probably 12 times if not more. It helped me see the main character get over his girl and find meaning in his life.

I'd probably have to stick with Up or Wall-E... Good movies like that helped me immerse to the point that I managed to forget fuck-ups of mine and the world for a couple hours a pop, and they make me feel better afterwards... Hope it helps, take care op. :)

I never told a lot of people about this but since it's the internet asking, so hey why not...
i used to grow up as a problem child, as the youngest in the family, I always have trouble getting along with my siblings and my friends at school.
One thing led to another, I was having a really sad life until one day when I was still a teenager, around 4 or 5 years ago, the younger me saw a new movie was coming out in the cinema. I watched it by myself because I was pretty much alone all the time anyway. Little did I knew that it will be the last time I have no one else to go to the movies with.
After the movie, I felt tremendously refreshed, as if I had went through a full transformation, the movie struck a chord with me, my life, my family, my friends, everything, it changed everything about me. I turned over a new leaf because that movie gave me hope for a new life.
I left my old past and became a whole new person after the movie. I could experience love, joy, and happiness over again. I felt fantastic!
I believe that many of you wouldn't relate to this movie as I did, as it is a life changing experience for me after all. But Paul Blart Mall Cop is the one I have been through thick and thins with, all my life's ups and downs can easily be resolved with this single title. Kevin James, I now dream and inspired to be like you, to touch others' life even if it is just one of the 7 billion others.

As my username implies, I enjoy math. I love the idea of number theory, prime numbers, etc. I have dedicated my life to math, and plan to continue to do so. However, in the past 16 months, I've developed crippling depression due to BPD and GAD as well as a lot of social issues. So, a year ago, I watched a movie strikingly similar to what I was dealing with.
Good Will Hunting.
I loved that movie so fucking much, I loved the math involved, I love the emotions that run wild, and most of all, I loved Robin Williams.
That man's acting was superb. Dead Poets Society made me cry, that one about the musician also made me cry, I love his acting so much, from the comedic to the much more serious roles.
And every one of his movies, stemming from Good Wiil Hunting has done wonders for me. Rest in Peace, Robin. You were an inspiration to all of us, and I do what I can to try living with my own problems, as you had to with your own.
It's not your fault.

In 5th grade, 92 or so, my first dog died. The morning I found out Shadow was no more, there was no way I could go to school. A blood relative could have passed and I would have dealt with it better than if the only creature in the world who understood me died. I went to the grocery / video store and rented SUBURBAN COMMANDO, THE SUPER w/ Joe Pesci, DUTCH w/ Al Bundy, and BINGO - about the runaway dog. I watched those four movies repeatedly for two days straight until I began to cope with my first run-in with mortality.
I'll never forget Shadow. But I'll also never forget those random ass movies, for getting me through. Film is a wonderfully transcendent medium. I owe it more than it'll ever know.

When I was a kid my favorite movie was Titan A.E. In high school my close friend was killed in a car accident (not his fault). I was having a panic attack and I just needed to feel like a kid again so I watched it. It helped a lot for those 90 minutes and helped take the edge off.

I was in a recovery ward after donating a kidney to a child who was suffering from cancer. They were doing well and I was wheeled into their room the next visitation period, it was late afternoon and the late summer sun streamed through the window and caught the 8 year old.
She smiled.
I realized that was the most basic human emotion - going through so much and to smile. Was it the sun streaming in, the new lease of life?
She opened her mouth to say something, "Hi, umm, please could you move just a little to the side?"
I turned and realized she was watching Paul Blart: Mall Cop. In that moment I realized that Kevin James had done more for this little girl that I could ever have. My kidney might have given her a fighting chance, but Kevin James was the one who gave her a reason to live.
I watched the rest of the film, in awe, and then silently wheeled out of there, never looking back. I stood up, and at my checkup they'd said I had miraculously regrown my donated kidney. I knew what I had to do, I bought a copy of that movie, went to the hospital and asked is anyone in need of a reason to live and or a kidney.

I don't have anything to exciting or specific to contribute. I found the movie A Bittersweet Life when I was going through my insanity trip/breakdown and I watched it dozens of times. I wish I could say why it helped or why I even like the movie as much as I do, but it will forever hold a special place in my heart... And be watched right now.

Maybe a little late to the party, but when my cat died my co-workers set up a movie night at work to make me feel better. We watched Tusk, and somewhere between Johnny Depp's French Canadian detective character and Justin Long flailing about in that wonderful suit I lost sight of my sadness and laughed for the first time in a while.

Unfortunately for me, there was good food, better food, than usual all around, and so it sickens me not being able to eat them all. Days go by and I see an opportunity to eat something new. I should also warn you on that day my blood sugar was extremely low, and I seen something on the floor

As a graphic designer, and overall artist its easy to get locked into a grey business driven state that takes what you normally would find passion and enjoyment in and turn it into something you dislike as a routine. But I had time a few months ago to watch a movie from my childhood that impacted me greatly in my choice of what i want to do with my life and also what i like to make, it also helped me restore a sense of creativity and innocence again. That movie for me is Spirited Away by Hayao Miyazaki.

I was still sad but it really helped ease the pain. If I could have just 2 more hours with my father, I would have take him to see Paul Blart: Mall Cop 2 opening night. I would have gotten him all of the candy and popcorn he wanted. I know he would have loved it.

Serious
Clerks. from Kevin Smith changed me.
After high school i went to college for a couple of years but i was failing all my classes, really badly. So bad in fact that i was kicked out of school. I was working at the time as a bagboy for a grocery store. After almost two years of doing nothing but some night classes, let's just say i wasn't happy. At all. I was fucking miserable.
A really good friend of mine one day said that i should watch Clerks II as he found it hilarious.
As i don't like to skip to sequels i decided to watch the first one. Boy, it hit hard. This was a tale of two 20 something guys like me that dropped out of college working dead end jobs that they hated.
They were me and i was them.
I watched it multiple times that week and other Kevin Smith movies. Let's say this whole sequence helped me in a way i can never thank Kevin enough :
Dante Hicks : You know what the real tragedy about all this is? I'm not even supposed to be here today!
Randal Graves : [suddenly outraged] Oh, fuck you! Fuck you, pal! Jesus, there you go again trying to pass the buck. I'm the source of all your misery. Who closed the store to play hockey? Who closed the store to go to a wake? Who tried to win back his ex girlfriend without even discussing how he felt with his present one? You wanna blame somebody? Blame yourself. "I'm not even supposed to be here today." [throws stuff at Dante]
Randal Graves : You sound like an asshole! Jesus, nobody twisted your arm to be here today. You're here of your own volition. You like to think the weight of the world rests on your shoulders. Like this place would fall apart if Dante wasn't here. Jesus, you overcompensate for having what's basically a monkey's job. You push fucking buttons. Anybody can waltz in here and do our jobs. You... You're so obsessed with making it seem so much more epic, so much more important than it really is. Christ, you work in a convenience store, Dante! And badly, I might add! I work in a shitty video store, badly as well. [sighs]
Randal Graves : You know, that guy Jay's got it right, man. He has no delusions about what he does. Us... we like to make ourselves seem so much more important than the people that come in here to buy a paper, or, God forbid... cigarettes. We look down on them as if we're so advanced. Well, if we're so fucking advanced, what are we doing working here?
I cannot state how much this helped me. Within two months i changed jobs, passed from a minimum wage job to an 18$/hour job as a security guard (Yes, i'm a freaking Mall Cop sigh). I've gone back to school two years ago and in three weeks i'll have my diploma in film production. Not only did Kevin Smith inspire me to move my station in life, he inspired me to become a filmmaker myself. I will forever be grateful to him.

Closer
It is a fucked up movie about people cheating and using each other. Having problems of the where am I going in this relationship... Perhaps weird for a man. Anyways, realizing that I wasn't happy in the relationship and seeing no effort from her to make it better I broke up the next morning. I felt better being single. It is not an empowering movie or a romantic love story. It is a fucked up reality of damaged characters. The nobody is perfect so be happy made me more comfortable being alone but not lonely. I didn't want to waste more time going to an eventual break up.

Anyway, Paul Blart: Mall Cop really helped me, it taught me about the strengths of trying no matter what, for work or love, and that if I have a segway, I can do anything!

Grave of Fireflies. It gets my through by reminding me I don't have life that bad. After watching this movie I cried so hard I vowed I'd never watch it again. I haven't and with any luck I never will. It is a constant reminder that my life will never be as bad as the children in this movie. I could be homeless, quadriplegic with aids and my life would still be better of then the events that occur in this movie.

Not a movie but a TV show. I never had any intrest in breaking bad however i lost my job and with my lunch break i choose one new show to help me take my mind off not being employed or searching for a job.
I was drawn in because i could trully relate with walts frustration of not being able to legally provide for his family. He was a good guy followed the rules. Never screwed anyone. And what did he have to show for it. Massive debt working a second job and still barely scarping by. Well he made a choice to do what for me would have been the easier way out. But for him it meant to look and work outside his comfort zone. To use his talents and drive to provide for his family the best way he knew could.
After that i accepted a warehouse job im strong and that was my available talent to exploit. I had drive and my boss noticed that and the art degree on my resume. Im now the COO amd VP of a small buisness and able to provide for my family in a way i never dreamed. Thank Vince Gilliam!

Not a movie, but after two close friends of mine died within a month of one another, I watched all of Avatar: The Last Airbender. I think it helped me escape a bit. It was such a pretty show, and even the sad parts seemed lighthearted compared to what I was feeling inside.

My sophomore year of high school, I was very sad and depressed for a while. I sort of felt empty in a way.. I had no desire to do anything. All I felt is like I needed to get away. I saw the movie The Perks of Being A Wallflower, and I related to the character in a way. I felt alienated, I usually hung out with an older crowd too. For some reason, the movie helped me overcome that feeling of anxiousness, and for that I am forever grateful.

I went through a very depressed time in my life. I saw no meaning to living, no connection to what I was doing. I started smoking weed, drinking, and suffered from insomnia.
During that time, the movie Contact really helped me find meaning in the world. This scene in particular (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sRPUO6gGSh8). The line "In all our searching, the only thing that makes the emptiness bearable, is each other. " I feel so connected to this idea, and it truly gave me something.
On another note, This scene (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RoSLxmZ-Gzo) from scrubs has always held a resounding connection to how I deal with both the deaths of those around me and the death of my patients. Everytime I watch it I can see myself in Dr.Cox, and his eyes and facial expression.

I had a pretty rough patch a few years back. It started with watching The Darjeeling Limited, when I started bawling less than half way through and couldn't stop. If you haven't seen it, I highly recommend it. It's really quite humorous as well, I think it takes a couple watches before you get past that to the complexity of the characters. Unless you're used to Wes Anderson. Anyway. The next movie I watched was Australia, because the first half is fairly light-hearted, and the rest is more moving than sad. Again, I cried through more than half the movie. So, I figured maybe my hormones were going super wacky, and I just really needed a good, cathartic cry. I followed up by watching Titanic, Grave of the Fireflies, Atonement, Moulin Rouge!, 500 Days of Summer, Amalie, The Science of Sleep, Eat Pray Love, The Dark Knight, even watched The Last Song multiple times (in a regular mood, it's tolerable if you pretend her little brother doesn't exit). Then I watched Remember Me. Very nice film. It felt relatable, and it was happy. And then the end came. I could not stop crying. It developed into a full blown panic attack - the first one I ever had at that; I had no idea what the fuck was going on, I was shaking and couldn't stand up, I couldn't control the muscles in my face, it was awful. All panic attacks are awful, but that one has stuck with me over the years. Eventually I managed to talk to my brother, who actually did all the talking and telling me to drink water which helped a ton because you can't cry when you're drinking water. I can't really remember the day after that, my brain and body were still trying to figure out why I was dying and then why I didn't die. Deciding that I really didn't want to cry any more, whether or not my subconscious was cool with that, I turned to my 100% reliable source for happy endings. I watched Pride and Prejudice, the newer one with Kierra Knightly. I just watched it over and over again. I started to feel better after a couple days of this, and kept it on in the background as I worked on all of my studying and things that I had missed while I was having a bit of a mental break down. A year later I started treatment for general anxiety and clinical depression. I think that if something like this happened to me again, I'd probably go a similar route, maybe just shorter. There is a difference between being controlled by your emotions, and denying the amount any situation might be able to affect you. It is a fine, delicate line, but a crucial tight rope to practice on in the form of mindfulness. Anyway, these may not be what you're looking for, but you should give them all a go. Except for Grave of the Fireflies, they all have pretty normal amounts of happy and sad, instead of straight up devastation.

Not a movie, but the True Trans series by Laura Jane Grace really helped me come to terms with my feelings about my gender identity and gave me hope for the future. I was suicidal and self-doubting when I found them, but I watched them all in one sitting and decided to turn my life around and start working toward a goal.

I once lost my house to foreclosure and my wife left me because of it. Soon after, I found out my parents were killed. It was an awful time in my life. However, one thing got me through it - Paul Blart, Mall Cop. Brings a tear to my eye.

Lost In translation. I bring it up a lot to people who ask, but there's just something about it that broke through the waves of depression in my life. I was out of high school for a year, just got my first apartment, living alone, and lonely as hell. I was not getting sleep either. So 3 in the morning comes along, I'm working on homework and thinking "I'll just put this on for background noise." I watched the whole movie, and didn't touch the work. It just matched so well with how I was feeling, alone and lost, and gave me hope that things could be better. I watch it every month or so and listen to the soundtrack when I'm feeling down. I get the same feeling with the movie Her. Just something about them.

One time I was really down in the dumps after failing my exam to become a policeman due to my hypoglycemia, on top of being a single father to my preteen daughter and taking care of my elderly mother. So I took a job at a local mall as a security guard to provide for them.
I took my job very serious, no matter what wacky mall hijinks ensued. I met a beautiful woman who didn't have any attraction to me at first--but after foiling a gang of thugs hellbent on robbing a bank inside the mall (it makes sense), I not only managed to foil the robbers, collaborate with the policemen who rejected me, I eventually won the heart of my lady love. We were married in the mall and lived happily ever after ... to be continued!
Hollywood approached me, offering vast sums of money for my life rights. I agreed and the movie Observe and Report was made. That always cheers me up.

In all seriousness, I remember watching Mississippi Burning for the first time only a few months ago, with a guy from work. I had lost most of my friends due to divorce, and I had accepted an invite from this guy to hang out, drink a few beers, watch a movie maybe. I had no idea what the movie was about, so when my friend was naming off movies as he looked over his collection the name stood out to me, and I said "hey, let's watch that. " He turned to look at me and said, "You sure you wanna see this movie?" I said yes, and he shrugged and we started watching it. I should probably mention that I'm white, and my new friend is not, and if you know this movie, you could maybe understand how watching it with him might have been uncomfortable. At almost every scene I would look over and see my new friend looking at me sideways.
When the church was burning, there he was, just staring at me.
When they beat the guy Willem Dafoe was talking to, I saw him looking at me.
When they chucked that kid out of the car, after beating him, I saw him looking at me.
After every terrible scene in that movie I would glance over and see him looking at me , and I would think to myself, 'God, what is he thinking?' When it ended he turned to look at me, and I knew right then what had been going through his mind as he finally spoke to me
"Hey man, you wanna stay longer and watch Paul Blart, Mall Cop"?

Nobody listen to the other assholes on here, you're probably going through a rough time OP and I get it. I really do, during the blizzards in Buffalo last winter I got a call from my dad saying mom wasn't going to make it. It had been a tough year already but I couldn't believe I would be looking down at a hole in the ground with my mom in it. It really tore me up. So I drove from my shitty apartment in NYC upstate to buffalo through some of the worst driving conditions ever. Coupled with the fact I just lost the only women in my life at that point I had thoughts in my head about just killing myself. The booze didn't help the drive either and I went straight over a guardrail into a ditch. Don't buy that cheesy "that's the last thing I remember" because it never is. I felt nothing but cold, sick and half dead. As paramedics pick me up and put me in the back of an ambulance, some 2 hours later, I feel dead. Everything was so surreal. When I got to the hospital I fell asleep and woke up handcuffed, I had forced someone in the lane next to me off the road. It was a minivan with a 6 month old baby in it, dead. And the cops found all my booze too. As I tell my dad what happened, trying to convince him to bail me out he asks why? And I pause for a moment asking myself the same question. "I need to see Kevin James play Paul blart one more time" I say. My dad says "It's the family comedy of the year son". The prison guard looks over and says to me "peanut butter heals the cracks in your heart"

I've had a bad run the last couple of years. In 2007, my dog that I grew up with passed away after 14 years of wonderful companionship. The girlfriend I had at the time started cheating on me then up and moved to another state without warning after we had been living together for over a year. Heartbroken and alone, I moved backed in with moms to regroup and try to focus on the next step. A few months after moving in, my mother was diagnosed with a benign brain tumor and was given a 95% chance of full recovery. She suffered a pulmonary embolism and passed away on Christmas day 2008. Found a new lady later that year who ended up pregnant and got an abortion without telling. After much time spent contemplating my life and how everything ended up being so shitty. I found another wonderful lady who picked me up, dusted me off, and made me think that life was again worth living. After 2 great years she cheated on me with my best friend and left me for him. This year I was diagnosed with a rare pancreatic disease that can only be treated by taking pills with every meal for the rest of my life. I'm single and as lonely as I have ever been. I should probable watch Paul Blart: Mall Cop..

My dad and I used to watch Paul Blart Mall Cop together. It was the only time we ever really connected. He passed away a year ago from prostate cancer. On the one year anniversary of his death, Paul Blart Mall Cop 2 came out in theaters. I went alone and watchedโฆ but I could feel him sitting there with me.

On an actual serious note, it was the movie "Simon Birch". For anyone who isn't familiar, it's about a kid who was born extremely small in a time when that type of thing seemed like either a defect or a gift. A lot of intense crap went down throughout the movie and, honestly, had me crying a lot in spite of my parent's divorce. Sometimes it really struck up depression however I had realized very soon that all I had were divorced parents. I wasn't physically or mentally off. My entire family was healthy and intact; the only downside was that my parents weren't together!
I continued to watch the movie a few more times as it slowly became my life and inspiration as well as motivation for all of the things that I did. Absolutely fantastic movie. I'd recommend it to anyone. Interestingly enough, I showed the movie to my parents who watched it and loved it. I specifically remember my dad looking at me after and saying through tears, "You know I love you, your brothers, and your mother very much, but you've gotta serious-tag your posts because everybody knows that Paul Blart Mall Cop is the fucking shit."

Wreck It Ralph. Yes it's a light hearted kids comedy but it taught me a lot about me. See I was in this very abusive relationship and no there wasn't any physical abusiveness. Just emotional. She was always overly critical of me, every little thing that I did always needed improvements even things i thought i was already good at. By the end of it I lost my friends, I had zero to nothing self esteem, I really hated myself for a long time. It wasn't until I saw Wreck It Ralph in that Volcano scene. When recited the words in his self help group, "I'm bad, and that's good. I will never be good, and that's not bad. There's no one I'd rather be than me." I was 23 when that movie came out and when that part came on, I cried. That quote really helped me out till this day.

Anyways on a serious note, a few years back I was fully baptized as a Jehovah's Witness. I grew up in the religion and was expected to dedicate my life to full time ministry work into adulthood. The next summer after being baptized I moved and got a new job. It was there that I met a beautiful NON-witness girl and, welp, long story short paul blart mall cop.

Girlfriend of 8 years who I was about to propose to, left me. For another woman. Within the matter of 1 week I had become Ross from friends. I didn't know what I was going to do, until I saw that movie. I couldn't believe my eyes. I was blinded for that entire time being with that girl. I had finally come to terms. I realized I wanted to be a mall police officer. All thanks to Paul Blart Mall Cop.

Loved a girl to death. We didn't work out. We saw 'Children Of Men' and loved it'. I wanted to see "The Fountain". She wanted to see it also. We watched it. Friday opening night...theater was not packed....men and women all crying...such a harsh film. After it was over we did not speak for 1 hour....car ride, back to my place, etc...I couldn't talk to her nor could she. We finally spoke up and had the best sex/love-making ever. We broke up. What movie helped me through a rough time? this one...ya I didn't last with the girl but fuck...it makes me feel alive watching it.

Well I'll give a serious answer. In middle school I went through a bit of a lonely phase as I halted a lot of my activities and got a little lazy. The movie Yes Man seriously changed my views. Now whenever my friends ask me to go do something, if I'm free, I go. I don't care if it's just something they're excited about that I think I'll hate. I go anyways.
It changed my life and I had the best high school experience ever. Unfortunately, in college, I don't have friends to ask me to do things and nobody I've met so far is adventurous so I need a new strategy.

It may sound silly but what sticks out most for me is Dude, Where's My Car. I had a humungous crush on someone at work. Made a few moves. Got let down. Hit me hard. Spilled my emotions on a forum I used to go on and someone recommended I watch a comedy film to cheer me up. I'd seen Dude, Where's My Car before but decided to whack that on. It made me completely forget why I was sad as I was too busy laughing. Laughter is tremendous medicine!

Not a movie, but I went through probably the loneliest stretch of my life last semester (first year of college, and first away from home), and Futurama really helped me. It can be a bit too comedy focused at times, but the emotional episodes between Fry and Leela really make the show for me.
EDIT: the more I think about, 500 Days of Summer really taught me to let go and not obsess over girls. And Red vs Blue has legitimately taught me lessons on friendship and trust. Somehow.

True Story time! My great great grandpappy, Paulo Bartholomew, was the inspiration for my favorite movie of all time! Back in the 1700s, the position of "mall cop" was invented to keep the peace amongst the local flash mobs and fishmonger crowds.

The only thing that makes me feel better about something shitty occurring in my life besides Paul Blart: Mall Cop, is when I'm dreaming about being Blarts sidekick. Riding around on a mini Segway trailer right behind him. Equipped only with a trusty flash light, a taser and my affection for Paul. Maybe one day I'll tell this man I love him, maybe I won't? Maybe we can taste each others mustaches? Maybe I want to wear his skin and be Paul Blart: Mall Cop extraordinaire. The mystery of the dream excites me even as a type it out now. Oh Paul, you devil you.

Depends on the "rough time", I guess. In general, I get inspiration from simple movies. "The Lion King" - cheesy as fuck, but it makes me believe that anything is possible. "Gladiator" is a single most inspiring movie about character, but I also like "The Last Castle". "Forest Gump" is the movie to go to, when you get tangled up in life and jsut don't know where to go next. It makes me believe that whatever I do, even if it's not the best choice, it will still work out in the end.

my grandma had just died and my parents were a mess. i was too young to understand what had happened. While my parents were dealing with her death, me and my sister watched schindlers list. it really gave me persepective on death and how we cna all fight through it, and its the fight that matters and not when or how we die. what matters is fighting with all we've got to live the best lives we can because life is such a gift. but this didnt make me feel much better until i watch paul blart mall cop. that was when i truly saw one man fight for what was really right. someone who just stood up for everything he believed in instead of rotting away in some camp bitching about not having food. paul blart fought the bad guys AND got to eat whatever he wanted to while he did it. what a great movie.

People react differently to different things, movies are a piece of art,
and art most of all will polarize people. There are sad movies, some
uplifting movies, and some batshit crazy movies. Movies can deal with
loss and make you sad, or gain, and make you feel on top of the world.
Both types can make a great movie, and that is the craziest part. I
like comedies the best, but I have plenty of dramas on my list. Usually,
all I watch when I am sad are Owen Wilson movies. Owen can get a
reaction out of me every time, just by looking at him. He just has one of
the goofiest faces, and you should read the first letter of each line.

Make yourself better.
Kind of vague, but let me elaborate... If you're going through a hard time because of a breakup, go work out and get the body that will make everyone want to date you. If you just got laid off from work, or just hate your job, start developing skills or look into what skills you need to change profession or companies. Learn code, or finance, or switch industries. If it's something that's completely out of your control, work on other aspects of your life that you do have control of, because you have one life to live, make the best of it and keep going. You have the entire community of Reddit supporting you! :)

Not a movie, but the anime Elfen Lied made me feel like shit after I had been robbed and evicted twice and betrayed by one of my best friends. I had been wondering if my life was worth sticking around for and the fact that something made me feel worse made me remember that I could feel better too. That was around seven years ago, things have gotten better in the interim and my life was definitely worth sticking around for.

I saw Guardians of the Galaxy a couple nights before I had two exams in a row. I hadn't studied much for the past week, and was so stressed that I wasn't absorbing anything from what I was studdying. So my parents, obviously knowing this kind of stress, took me to the most fun movie out at the time. To this day if I'm stressed I turn it on and it calms me right down. (it really helped when I got my wisdom teeth removed recently)
Edit: I should have looked at the thread before saying this, it seems everyone's saying Paul Blart.

It's not a movie, but after my last break up I was in a bad place. A friend introduced me to the anime "daily life of high school boys."
The simple but effective humour and it's sometimes accurate depiction of school life and younger boys made me feel so much better.

Patch Adams.
I was literally going to kill myself. For reasons that only those of us who have attempted it can understand, I called a friend and told him my intentions. He said he wouldn't stop me, but first I had to watch a movie with him. Then he would leave, wait for an appointed time, and call 911.
I was in tears when I finished the movie. It was like it called me out, that what Patch Adams, and Robin Williams, went through was just as bad, if not worse, than what I was going through. I figured, "If they can do it, I can to." My friend helped me quit drinking and huffing, and now I can control my drinking and I don't huff. My GPA is in recovery and Im in therapy. My life's not perfect, but its alright, and I'm thankful for both my best friend and that stupid movie that saved my life.

Before I moved to my apartment I had enough time and memory to download only 1 movie on to a crappy laptop my friend gave me. I downloaded Pootie Tang. When I got to my apartment, I didn't have a book, tv or internet for five months and the only thing that kept me was Pootie Tang.

Ok, no, in all honesty. Growing up, I read a lot of books and watched a lot of movies as a form of escape as I struggled to cope with domestic violence and dysphoria related to my gender identity. It was an easy way to forget my stresses and get wrapped up in a fictional life. In fact, one of the pieces of the puzzle that led to me figuring out my gender identity was the fact that I always related to male characters. I would in fact strictly seek out stories with male main protagonists. I think it really hit home when I connected with the strong character of Paul Blart: Mall Cop. Without it, I'm not sure I'd be the man I am today.

My girlfriend suffers from depression and sometimes her pills don't always work, her go to happy movie is Finding Nemo. Sometimes when we're out she'll get stressed or upset and I'll start to quote the movie and she brightens up a bit and laughs. :) Her favorite is when I either do Dory talking to the whales, ( everyone gives me a funny look in public but she can't help but giggle at it ) and Just keep swimming.

It was only last month that my cat soggy Jasper died on his 10th birthday. We live in California and due to this drought I couldn't afford the fine to give him water. I found him a few feet away from his bone dry water dish while I was bringing in my 32 pack of Nestlรฉ water I got at Walmart after my day at the country club swimming pool. While I was burying him in the yard later that day my neighbor was having a yard sale. I finished up and took a look at what he was selling. That's when my life changed, he had an unopened copy of Paul Blart Mall Cop on DVD. I've never seen the movie before so I decide to buy it. I ended up watching it that night and let me tell you, it was a masterpiece, I was smiling from ear to ear just as Jasper would want me to be. I really recommend it if you are going through tough times. I've been okay up until a few days ago when I was on Steam workshop and trying to install a talking horse mod for Skyrim and it was trying to charge me. It really fucked me up. So tomorrow I'm taking the day off and going to see Paul Blart Mall Cop 2 with my Nan. I hope it's just as amazing as the first.

Bridge To Terabithia. A friend of mine had just been hit by a car on his way to work (he was riding a bicycle), and it really hit me hard. What happens to the characters in the movie helped me come to terms with it. It was sort of a similar to when I watched Spice World on repeat right after my mom passed away, since that was her favorite movie and it helped me feel close to her again.

I was sad about my job at the movie theatre. It just seemed like I was watching the same things over and over again. Some serious Groundhog Day shit. And then I saw Paul Blart: Mall Cop. When people say "that movie changed my life!" I usually laugh them off, because how could a movie incite any sort of fundamental change? When I saw Paul Blart: Mall Cop I collapsed to the floor and ecstatic laughter burst from my lungs joyously, the glow of the projector like a holy beacon of change. Now I am a mall cop. Just like my hero, Paul Blart.
May the Blart be with you.

I transferred universities after my first year to a new school where I didn't know anybody. To make matters worse, two weeks before classes started I tore my ACL and was told it required surgery.
So, just moved to a new town, in a college town whose activities are almost all outdoor based (tubing the river, hiking, biking, bar crawls). Makes it hard to get to know people when you're so limited mobility wise (had a lengthy recovery process that was made worse by surgical complications). Fast forward a semester, I'm deeply depressed, abusing my pain pills, and starting to get in with a bad crowd, the "antiestablishment" group who do any drugs we can get our hands on and talk shitty about everyone else whose enjoying school and what the town has to offer.
By then I'm at the lowest point of my life, looking back at it now, had nothing come along to change my ways, I probably would not have made it out alive past that year. One night I'm about to go out with a guy from the group, thinks he might know someone we might be able to score from. As hard as I try, I can't ever seem to remember why I decided to flake out on him, but I stay in and go over to the roommates movie collection and pick out a movie based solely on how interesting the DVD box looked and chose Requiem for a Dream. For those who have seen the movie, I don't think I need to explain why that was such a life changing experience at that point in my life. I've never actually seen it again after that first time, the movies message just hit too close to home, and now that I've cleaned up my life and left all that trash behind, I think it'd be too hard for me to watch it and have all those memories rush back.
Edit: Get this! I just emailed my old college roommate a link to this thread cause I thought he'd get a kick out of it. He just informed me that back in college he lost the dvd case for Paul Blart Mall Cop after having watched it so many times, that he threw out Requiem and kept the disc in that box. I always wondered what mall security had to do with dreams?

Not exactly a movie, but Red vs Blue season 10. Without giving too much away, the ending is based around the quote, "Never say goodbye. If you don't say goodbye then you aren't really gone, you just aren't here right now." One of the closest relationships in my life had just ended and I was having a hard time coping. The resolution to that season helped me start feeling better.

I Lurk on reddit quite a bit, but rarely ever post. this is kind of a topic that hits close to home. When i was around 12 years old me and my dad were living from motel to motel sometimes we had money to eat, sometimes not. On the weekends however we stayed at his girlfriends house in a nearby town( however to far to commute for a dropoff at school for me). one day while at her Apartment i found The lord of the rings: fellowship of the ring. Ill never forget the feeling of seeing a cave troll the first time, or the feeling i had when Gandalf fell (Spoiler alert). something awoken in me. While watching the film all my problems didnt exist anymore. it was just me, and middle earth. i watched that movie 8 times one weekend, and my dad's GF said "wow prawl31 you really like this movie don't ya? why dont you keep it?" I literally fell apart. i cried and sobbed in thanks to this gift (i didn't get many back then). i kept that movie with me and still have it today. i was able to watch it in some of the motels we stayed in, and it really took the edgo off of not having food for the day. fast forward one decade and ther i was balling my eyes out at the end of the last Hobbit movie. Note because i loved the film in particular, but becuase i felt like i was saying goodbye to something precious, a final thank you to something that damn well may have saved my teen years from depression. I wasn't entirely ready to say goodbye, but who ever really is? thank you Peter Jackson and Tolkien, you both inadvertently saved my life

While I haven't really had any "rough" times I do have a movie that is consistently a beacon of light in my life. The last dragon. I have absolutely no idea why, but for some reason that B movie just fills me with pure joy whenever I watch it. I watch it once or twice every 6 months, and every time its just as magical.

I still work, I still make money but I have no hope of becoming a human that is worthy of the human race. I'm content to die in the next few years and don't really care about life... Then I saw the movie "Warrior". I won't go into the plot because you need to do it yourself. But the fact that I spent the time I wasn't drunk Listening to audio-books and ignoring the world because I wasn't part of it really hit home. The line 'God dammit you bastard turn this ship around.

There isn't a movie I can think of that really helped me through tough times. I know some movies made me cry, like A Walk To Remember..., other movies that were inspirational like Gattaca, others that filled me with wonder, The Prestige, Hugo, oh and recently Song of The Sea. That one is really beautiful and highly recommended if you like animation films.

I was feeling very depressed, like very very depressed, suicidal. I was scared I would succumb and kill myself. I texted my Mum and asked how I admit myself to the mental hospital and she rang up confused and crying, it was out of nowhere to her. She took me straight to the doctors and then I stayed at her house for a week, with anti-depressant I was prescribed and my guitar (not really relevant). I began the anti-depressants and I was experiencing a lot of nausea, restlessness and lack of appetite, drinking only water throught the day and little food, which is crazy because I am a big guy with a big appetite. THAT was very scary. Anyway, I really wasn't feeling any better, being stuck at Mum's boring house all day just staring at my guitar and watching movies on Foxtel (Cable in Australia). Then a movie came on that I had seen two or three times, Silver Linings Playbook. I started to connect to Bradley Cooper's character a lot and half an hour in I had to turn it off because it was very similar to my life at the time (girl troubles too). The scene with him running in a garbage bag really got into my head and so I went for a run for pretty much the first time in my life. I was terrible and out of breath and did not get very far, but an hour later I tried again and got a bit further and it was a little easier. Over the rest of the week at Mum's I continued running. After I was feeling a little better I returned home and ran twice a day, for as long as I could. This running gave me something to do, made me feel a sense of accomplishment and made me want to eat more and I felt much healthier physically and mentally. I stopped taking the anti-depressant after I just didn't feel right. I slowly but surely felt happier and less empty inside. All because of Silver Linings Playbook. TL;DR Silver Linings Playbook - Because exercise is good for depression.

Paul Blart: Mall Cop looked like it was going to be just Kevin James falling down again and again with Adam Sandler looking at him behind the director saying "It's all good buddy, party at my place tonight and I'll find you a supporting role in my next movie so you'll make your money then." and it was which made my last diagnosis of cancer really easy.

Well my friend had recommended Fight club for it's gritty anti-societal message, that said it was ok to be sad and tired of the world. I tried it, didn't work for me. But I found that Paul Blart: Mall Cop gave me just as grit, but wrapped up in a prettier, chubbier package. That movie saved my life!

The Terminal because I was stuck in Canada with my mum and step-dad and it was freezing cold and I didn't know anybody and it was super lonely and depressing and I wanted to go home but I couldn't. This movie really cheered me up and I must have watched it about 10 times in a month.
I still love the movie but nobody else does.

The poem Invictus by William Earnest Henley.
Out of the night that covers me, Black as the pit from pole to pole, I thank whatever gods may be For my unconquerable soul.
In the fell clutch of circumstance I have not winced nor cried aloud. Under the bludgeonings of chance My head is bloody, but unbowed.
Beyond this place of wrath and tears Looms but the Horror of the shade, And yet the menace of the years Finds, and shall find me, unafraid.
It matters not how strait the gate, How charged with punishments the scroll, I am the master of my fate: I am the captain of my soul.

I broke both my femurs trying to recreate the Segway jump scene from Paul Blart Mall Cop. During my time in then hospital I switched rooms a few times, but the only time I wasn't crying my eyes out was when I was in the room with the small mounted tv. I befriended the person next to me, a girl, roughly my age. Her and I bonded over our mutuality of being hospital bound, and throughout the week and a half I was bed ridden, we found out how much we had in common! I realized she was the girl of my dreams only when they asked us what movie we wanted to watch.... Because at that moment, both of is said at the exact same time: that one where Kevin James plays the guy who can't quite make it into the big police leagues so he's stuck defending a mall but then adversity strikes and he overcomes his fear. Kevin James is: Ballmart small cop!

During the Gezi Park protests last year, no one was certain what was going to happen. There was a profound sense that in some way we could change the political climate in Turkey, and maybe move the dialogue to a place that was more productive in securing the safety of free speech and right to assemble. But the movement fizzled in many ways, and in the end everyone was left with a malaise as we tried to figure out what we would do given that the biggest concentration of political energy in the past 10 years had died out quietly, and the government had ceded nothing to the protestors. In this moment of darkness I watched Paul Blart Mall cop at the Rexx theatre in Kadikoy and I started to feel a lot better about the political state of affairs in Turkey.

No one is going to understand this but The Exorcism of Emily Rose. There is the scene where she is dreaming and she asks God to remove the demons from her. He says the demons will stay where they are but he can take her soul now to end her suffering. She chooses to live a little while longer though in order to help other people even though she is suffering greatly.

I walked into a screening of "Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind" ...sat down and was waiting for my fiancee to show the fuck up when it started. Halfway through the movie I was so into it I didn't realize my Nokia was going crazy. I looked down and it was a text message basically dumping me and ending everything out of nowhere. I watched the rest of the movie and walked out of there feeling like I would probably survive and I did and he's now married to a cross eyed girl with a weird looking baby.

sounds dumb as fuck, but that meh Sweeney Todd movie got me through my uncle's death. Christmas morning we get the call that he dies in police custody. Everyone in the family is together and just fucking losing it. I had no idea what to do and my mom just told me to get out of the house. The only thing I could think to do was see a movie and that was the first one playing when I got there. Not that great of a movie, but it stopped me from thinking about my uncle for a few hours. Thanks Johnny Depp.

When you think of the all-time great comedies, you might think of the master works by the Marx Brothers, Charlie Chaplin, the guys who made "Airplane", etc. But it has occurred to me recently that we have an underrated piece of artistic brilliance that not only matches these classic pieces of art, but it exceeds it in ways that I has previously only imagined possible in my wettest of dreams; a movie which will no doubt be remembered fondly for centuries to come. I am, of course, talking about the comedic masterpiece that is "Paul Blart: Mall Cop".

With the year coming to an end and AP tests approaching, I've been really anxious. There's pressure from everyone to do well. I know I'll face greater struggles in the future, but it's hard to stay motivated. Honestly, the one thing that's getting me through this is the blissful memory of Paul Blart: Mall Cop. Remember when he Paul ate that dirty lollipop off the floor just to save his friends? It's the little things about this movie that just get to me. Can't wait to see Mall Cop II after exams are over. Paul Blart could not have been any more helpful.

I can honestly say that when I saw Paul Blart: Mall Cop for the first time it changed my life. In recent years I had been falling into a deep depression, then like a ray of sunlight, Paul Blart: Mall Cop 2 was released, and just like the first time, it gave me a new perspective on the world. I had experienced a sense of child-like wonder that I had previously thought I could never feel again.

Not a movie but the TV show Everybody Loves Raymond helped through a very rough time when I was suffering from severe panic attacks and horrible anxiety. I was in the ER one night because of a panic attack and the show happened to be on tv. Just something about it made me zone out and forget about all the hell I was going through. I ended going out and buying all the whole series and it's something I watch when I'm not doing well. I honestly don't know what I would have done without it.

I was on the international space station when there was a CO2 rupture, the station started filling with Co2 that was going to be recycled and converted to water. But things went to shit and me and my fellow astronauts were going to die. We had less than 131 minutes of air remaining so we decided to watch a film that was exactly 132 minutes long. The only one that came up in a google search was Paul Blart mall cop. After the 132 minutes were up we felt so happy, a joyous feeling overcame our loins. The oxygen had been replenished and the co2 scrubbers repaired. Thanks Paul Blart, you saved the international space station, and the lives of three lonely astronauts. God bless you

Once, I was homeless, and stranded in the middle of a bone-dry desert. I had nowhere to go, and nothing but a television. Suddenly, I tripped across a DVD. I put it into the television, which then began to play Paul Blart: Mall Cop. I then was knocked over by a vehicle of some sort. I peered up into Kevin James' mustache, and was whisked away into another dimension.

I want there to be at least one semi-serious answer here. The last time I was in the hospital, the only thing on the TV aside from golf was back-to-back showings of 'Best of The Johnny Carson Show' and 'Best of The Carol Burnett Show'.
Fucking hilarious stuff. If you're too young to have seen the best parts of those shows, you should. Especially Carol Burnett. Harvey Korman and Tim Conway are comedy geniuses, I shit you not. Siamese elephants, dude. If you can watch that clip and not laugh, you have no soul.
I must have watched those two shows a dozen times during my hospital stay. It never got old.

The Big Chill. I laughed, I cried, I sang along to the amazing soundtrack. All of the actors, In my opinion, did such an amazing job. The emotion, and their chemistry together felt real, as if these weren't actors that I was watching, but real people, real friends, expressing true emotions, trying to make sense of their tragedy, together. Watching these people deal with loss, grief, regret, betrayal, love, and SO many other emotions and situations really spoke to me. The first time I saw it, I was dealing with a similar tragedy. The fact that the film really has no climax, and that nothing is really resolved in the end, didn't even matter to me. I was left with a strong sense of contentment because, out of a great tragedy, seven estranged friends were brought back together, and renewed their once dear friendships. It was so true to real life, and to what was happening in my life at the time. It really struck home with me. I think that anyone, of any generation, can relate to this film.

Honestly, I suffer from depression. I've had issues with it for about 11 years now.
The movie that helped me the most, and helps put me in a good place mentally and emotionally is Last Holiday with Queen Latifah.
WARNING: Probably some spoiling below.
She finds out that she may be dying of a brain tumor amd decides to cash in her life savings and treat herself to a wonderful vacation. She goes to a wonderful, luxurious hotel in, I beleive, Switzerland and treats herself to the works. Skiing, massages, everything. All because she thinks it's all going to end. That sort of freedom to enjoy what little bit of life she had left is what does it for me. It's a very positive thing for me. Makes me happy.
So, yeah... Last Holiday is the movie that helped/helps me through a rough time.
EDIT: Spelling errors. I'm mobile

Wristcutters and The Great Escape.
I discovered Wristcutters shortly after I graduated from high school and my only long-term relationship at the time came to an abrupt and jarring close. Wound up watching it with a ladyfriend and it started the best relationship I'd ever had. That relationship ended a few years back, but I still look back on it with no regrets.
When I was 6, my dad went to prison for a couple years. I watched The Great Escape, and somehow 6-year-old me found some solace that my pops (a USAF navigator and former Marine) always had hope to get out. My dad also used to draw me these photorealistic pictures of WWII warplanes on envelopes and mailed them to me, and he did them all from memory. My favorites were the ones he did of a Stuka and an SBD Dauntless. He also drew these cute comics of a C130 named "Herkie" coming back from deployment and going to his home field for some much-needed rest. Took me a few years to realize he was "Herkie" and that he was finding a way to communicate just how much he missed his family.

Jerry Maguire. When all is going down the toilet, and all seems lost... it just turns out worse again... but a heartfelt determination to overcome the situation and to be the best you want and can be turns things around. I've seen it several times, cried a few on my low days, and always always helped me up. Avoid Nicholas Sparks movies... you'll want to commit suicide after that... :p

When I was 19 I got kicked out of college for masturbating in the dining hall kitchen. This led to my girlfriend leaving me for a 62-year-old sea monkey enthusiast. As I'm sure can imagine, my confidence was shattered. My life suddenly lost all sense of direction and I was so certain things couldn't get any worse. Well, in my case the devil rang three times. I was soon diagnosed with cancer of the penis tip.
I was broken.
I remember this day very vividly. I was laying on the hard, uncomfortable hospital bed in a room painted a nauseating shade of pink. The large, sunset-facing window was open, and while this allowed for the gentle spring breeze to roll in it also allowed the grating cacophony of furious cat mating to pierce my ears. But none of this could distract me from the looming spectre of dicklessness.
The nurse came in. She was a pretty little number. Not that I'd ever be able to try to do something about it after my scheduled surgery. After she switched out my filthy bedpan and soiled loins she stopped and looked me dead in the eyes. I looked back, trying to speak, trying to tell her how terrified I was, but in my heavily drugged condition I could only muster a pathetic whimper.
She turned away, reached up to the TV, turned on TBS without even asking me what I would've liked to watch and left. Now I am certain that God must have had a plan for me, because the minute I looked up and saw Kevin James' Segway-riding portly man-shape grace that screen, My outlook changed.
The movie itself was alright. Not great. Not even decent. Just alright.
And at that moment I knew that I'd be alright too.
So I had the surgery. But yesterday I watched Paul Blart 2 and it made my penis grow back.
Oh nurrrrse!!!!!

This really grounded me. Took away all those stupid ideas that "Life isn't fair!" and "Why me?". What makes me think happiness should just be handed to me? Hitting rock bottom is actually a good thing.

My girlfriend was murdered and one of my best friends died in an unrelated incident within a month of each other when I was 15 and that put me in enough of a state, I think, to respond to Blade Runner's existentialism and rainy mood fully as I watched it for the first time then. It really calmed me down at a point where I felt ready to burst.
Blade Runner is now my favorite movie.
EDIT: Oh my fucking god, I typed this down before I read the rest of the thread and now I feel obliged to redact my statement and replace it will Paul Blart: Mall Cop, fuck my dead friends.

Well I'm going though a tough time, more like my best friend, last week I was planning on visiting her but had no gas, so I texted her I'll see her tomorrow but she didn't reply, I called... No answer everytime, got worried. I visit her place, no one home... Been a few days wondering what happened to her, every kind of communication didn't work left her a message, I was a nervous wreck... Until I get a phone call, it was her, she check into a place where if you're going to hurt yourself that's where they take you, turns out that day I was going to visit, she was going to harm herself so she call a crisis hotline and she went there... Had a bad time there not going into detail but the next place they took her was better, she got my message, crying saying she was sorry, I didn't care I was glad she was OK, we told each other I love you as a friend mind you, she had to go but said she would call me tomorrow. Afterwards I was full of emotions, happy and crying so I watch interstellar and feeling seeing love ones after so long, Matthew McConaughey capture that moment so much tears came out of me...I'm calm now but In the end after watching the movie I wish I could yell at myself a week ago to stay with her and tell her I'm always there for you, always.

The show and the movie Neon Genesis Evangelion. Its in-depth exploration of life and the mind of a scared boy made me go back to school at age 23 and make an honest attempt at getting the social life I never had. After a month or two I thought I had once again failed but when a classmate fell ill and was put into a psych ward I felt like this was my cue. If I was supposed to be this great guy, this was my chance to show it. I reached out and started e-mailing to her and slowly we learned to trust eachother and eventualy that led to us becoming a couple - my first girlfriend. I finished school with perfect grades.
I would like to say everything beyond that was happy ever after but far from it. I've failed university studies a lot, I've tried to take my own life and lots of girlfriends have walked out the door but I'm still here and in a relationship of 5 years now. You just keep going towards becoming a better person in whatever way seems right.

There's a documentary that was released in 2011 called "Life in a Day". Basically, there is ONE day that people were asked to record their lives. They compiled footage to create the documentary, and it's literally one of the most moving things I've ever seen.

For me, Charlie Bartlett. Hands down. First time watching it....I didn't expect it to go the way it did. But then I bought it on DVD, watched it a few more times and actually liked the story. Teenager tries to fit into the school he attends but then is always thrown out...kind of a loner and weird kid. But then finally gets his place at a school where he is the student body psychologist...falls for the principal's daughter and gets into some trouble with the school and law. Just all around great story for anyone who hasn't seen it and knows the pain of fitting in somewhere new or well just anywhere...
Recommend it!

Not a movie, but: moe anime. Basically just cute girls doing cute things -- I haven't seen any Western equivalent to this.
My favourite in this regard is Tamayura, since it comes with a sad backstory, but the entire anime is uplifting and really positive and optimistic.
Another brilliant one is Hidamari Sketch. The original manga on which the anime is based has been translated as "Sunshine Sketch" and the series definitely lives up to its name.
And finally my other favourite: Kiniro Mosaic. It's light-hearted, silly, funny, extremely entertaining and it's almost like the original creator had a stone-cast rule, "no sadness allowed, only happiness", when creating the series.
There are others, but that's a good start, I think. :)

Alright, I'll give it a go with a serious answer. I went through a rough breakup with my first really serious girlfriend right after high school. It was the first relationship I ever had where "I love you" was openly spoken to one another, so it was a pretty big emotional investment, but looking back now I know I wasn't ready for that kind of emotional intimacy. I was really head over heels for this girl, almost to the point of unhealthiness, because my happiness was almost completely dependent upon her and my security in her love for me. It was young, stupid love. But when it was time for her to go off to college, she began to get distant and it became clear that she didn't know what she wanted anymore but I knew she didn't want me. The breakup was inevitable, and it was hard. The morning after she broke up with me, I woke up in a daze, wondering if the previous night was real or not. Then I turned on the TV and started watching a movie called "500 Days of Summer".
Needless to say, I identified with Tom. At that moment in my life, I was Tom. And by the time the credits rolled I had a completely different perspective on my own situation. And eventually, I found my "Autumn", and she's so much better. I cannot recommend that film enough to anyone who's going through a rough breakup.

Not too long ago I went to the doctor and discovered that I had a CLOT in the LUMBAR region of my spine. The doctor had no clue how to fix it, and sent me to a specialist. I was expecting the specialist to tell me that I needed surgery, but he instead gave me a very different response. He told me that only one thing could fix my problem. Step 1 was I needed a PAL of mine to sit on my LAP. The rest of the answer was in the problem itself.
I walked out of there more confused than ever, before finally returning a week later. He repeated the same thing to me, but this time wrote down some notes for me to remember his instruction. He simply wrote PAL, LAP, LUMBAR and CLOT. After staring at the paper for about 20 minutes, it became clear what I needed to do...

Pixar's Cars. Seriously. Ihad always been a huge car guy. Then I had a pretty big car crash soon after I got my learner's. Long story short my dad was airlifted to the trauma center and wass in coma for 3 days. I was traumatized, forgot completely about cars for 2 months and never wanted to drive again. Then I saw that movie and it brought back memories of my childhood, going to the races with my father, shopping for hot wheels, building model cars and bugging the local stock car racer as soon as he'd try to get work done on his car. I got in the car right after the rolling credits and drove aimlessly for an hour or two. I was 16 at the time.

The Razor's Edge (1984) Bill Murray. Based on the W. Somerset Maugam novel of the same name. It was panned during its release but it touches me every time.
Joe vs the Volcano (1990) Tom Hanks Helps you appreciate the good times in life.

I was being bullied day after day. I was called fat, ugly, names that hurt to this day. I tried everything to stop them, reporting them, police, nothing was worked. Until I saw Paul Blart Mall Cop on the movie network. Paul Blart showed me something. It was something bout his go get em attitude that made a switch go off. The next day the bully is getting ready for my beat down, when I handed him a pair of boxing gloves. "What are you doing?" "Safety never takes a holiday" the bully stood there in pure confusion. He left and never bothered me again. I was a hero to the school and when they asked me about my unorthodox strategy all I could say was "The mind is the only weapon that doesn't need a holster"

Once in my first year of college I got dumped by this girl, she was literally the woman of my dreams. I was devastated. I went home and my roommate was watching Paul Blart Mall Cop. A few beers and a bundle of laughs later, we went to her house and burned it down.
Life felt good again. :)

I was about to jump off a 30 story building. I bent my knees and leaned forward when my friend yelled "WAIT!" I looked behind me and saw my friend had wheeled in a TV and VCR. He hit play. All it took was that scene where Paul Blart put the hello kitty bandage on to get me off that building and into safety. I never thought about suicide after that.

Earlier this year I went through a pretty bad heartbreak. One of the, "it's complicated", "we're not really a thing", "get away from me you weirdo" sort of relationships. I spent hours watching all kinds of movies on Netflix, Horror movies, Funny movies, Documentaries about dying children in impoverished countries. They all left me feeling numb. Except for one movie; Paul Blart Mall Cop. If it weren't for that movie, I wouldn't be here today.

This is actually ridiculous guys...I've been having a really rough time latley (depressed, dog of 12 years died, horrible syphilis) and I really just wanted a lighthearted film to watch to brighten my shitty day a little. And I get this shit. EDIT: GUYS I ACTUALLY JUST WATCHED PAUL BLART AND I AM SO FUCKING SORRY! That was legitimately the greatest and most life changing piece of art I have ever had the immense pleasure of viewing. I vow never again to make snap judgments like that again without any knowlege to back my view up. My dog came back to life and dug itself out of its grave when it heard kevin james sweet voice, my depression instantly turned into euphoria and my dick stopped leaking! That was more than a movie...paul blart is a way of life and is sure to be a contemperary classic.

Both Waynes World movies have perked me up many times over the years. They've both aged pretty well and as an avid rock fan, the humour still.holds up. It is endlessly quotable and if I may admit a guilty secret: Garth Algar was one of my very first movie crushes. Honorable mentions go to the first Spongebob movie and Lost In Translation. Actually, most Bill Murray movies are fantastic. One of my favourites is one of his earlier roles playing Hunter S Thompson in a film called Gonzo. Not quite as bizarre as Fear and Loathing In Las Vegas but still pretty damn good.

I was in a low point of my life. I had gotten evicted from my apartment and was kicked out onto the streets. I wasn't eating very much and tended to doze off.

Crimes and Misdemeanors, Hannah and Her Sisters, Sweet and Lowdown... Actually, I'll just say pretty much everything by Woody Allen. His work has meant so much to me.
Other films that have filled that empty space over the years include Last Tango in Paris, Sideways, Ferris Bueller's Day Off (my coming of age flick), Million Dollar Baby, Half Nelson, Wendy and Lucy....
We Jam Econo: The Story of the Minutemen is a doc I watch when I need to feel better about the world.

Zero Day.
For some reason 2 kids talking about blowing people up because something needs to change resonated with me. There's a part in the movie where they're just talking to the camera, making some sort of confessional tape. Hearing about how futile life really is, calms me right the fuck down.

When my ex first moved out I went to the movie theater every night, at least ten times, just so I wouldn't be alone, and watched Pride and Prejudice. It wasn't so much the schmoopy content of the movie that got me through, although that didn't hurt, it was more the completely different time and place.

After the back-to-back deaths of my parents, the movie "Defending Your Life" helped both distract me and warmed my heart as well.
And when life in general kind of gets me down, I watch Akira Kurasowa's "Ikiru", its a movie that allows me to wallow in my sadness and yet be uplifting at the same time.

5 centimeters per second. Still crying, I think. It's a gorgeous anime (actual shot, not prerendered) about 1h30 long, there is a really slow part in the middle but it's all worth it in the end. I cried all my tears, and I didn't feel like I had any relationship to grief on.
Don't let the anime tag scare you, you'll miss out.

I have no idea why, it just made it easier to get some sleep. Dead Poets Society was also particularly fantastic during that time but i only watched it once as I didn't want to ruin it.

I remember in 8th grade I was extremely depressed-being the weird kid in the classroom-at not having a girlfriend. I thought the problems I faced were unique to me only.
Anyhow, I watched Eternal Sunshine of a Spotless Mind-which, to this day, I still consider my favorite movie.

Basically I always felt like I was disliked because of who I was, and more realized that I needed to actually try to put myself out there.

It's a stupid, stupid movie, but "Yes Man" with Jim Carey is my go to when life kicks me in the balls.
The message is undeniable: Say Yes to more things in your life and quit making excuses to say No.
You're going to have some good experiences, some bad ones, and sometimes you're just going to feel awkward for half an hour (free salsa lesson, anyone?) until you relax and start having fun.

Paul Blart: Mall Cop came to me in a dark part of my life. I was in a ska band, which is an omen within itself and my obesity was reaching a high point. Because of the ska band, I decided to wear fedoras and grow a goatee. The charming story of this diabetes-afflicted superhero inspired me to quit my negative lifestlye (that can only be described by people in ska bands) and start a juggling segway troop that helped me throw my life together

Submarine, which they sadly took off Netflix.
I've dealt with depression since high school, but I was really bad this winter. I didn't really feel anything anymore. There's a character in the movie that's also depressed, and the protagonist asks him about it in his blunt sort of way. I'm paraphrasing here, but:
When I first saw that scene I just broke down sobbing. It seemed like I hadn't felt any emotions in months and then this minute of screentime just completely overwhelmed me. It was an actor, I know, but I felt so... understood? And the matter-of-fact way it was discussed made it all the more like my experiences talking about it with family.
I paused the movie and cried for a long time. Then I texted my entire family and told them I loved them. It's hard, appreciating the people that care about you, when you don't care for yourself at all. But I felt such a fierce love for them that day. And I felt loved in return.
Things started looking up after that point.

I'll be honest, despite the rest of this thread. "Her" was a fantastic movie that seemed to reinvigorate my desire to love. I was really messed up after a few bad relationships and hook ups gone terribly. I had kind of given up on the dating scene at that point. That movie really made me see my relationships were, a part of who I was in the past. Fantastic movie even without my emotional state. I still watch it occasionally just because it's so damn good.

Kaze no Tani no Nausicaa. I was a teenager, and pretty pissed off at everything, including myself... Especially myself. And then I saw this film. First, I was sucked in by the imagination needed to make the world it takes place in, but then the main character just kind of stuck with me. I adopted the character's outlook as a sort of mantra. I wanted to try to be good, even knowing that being good is rarely rewarded and even sometimes punished.

Zorba the Greek is the one film that can bring me out of a funk every time. Like most of us, I feel caught between the character of Alexis Zorba and Basil โliving totally in the now vs. living in the past or futureโ but in the end Basil discovers the beauty and fun and living found only in the moment, thereby proving there is an inscrutably inexorable victory inherent in Zorba's method as well. The closing scene of the film says it all, though one should watch the whole thing to know what it means. Link to the final syrtaki scene.

I was struggling with depression back in high school, so I invited a few friends over, opened up a bag of chips, and watched Paul Blart: Mall Cop. Good times were had by all.

I was having routine surgery a few years ago to remove a lump they found in my breast. Thank god the biopsy came back benign, but unfortunately I suffered a rare complication in the surgery - the anaesthetist fucked up and damaged my vocal cords inserting the breathing tube.
I completely lost my voice, could only let out a rasping whisper. For the most part I got by, learned to adapt, although drive-throughs were always a stark reminder of the anaesthetist's basic error that had cost me my voice. One day, after struggling to shout out my mcdonalds order, I went home and picked out a DVD from the shelf. It was one I'd bought a while back, but never got round to watching - Paul Blart: Mall Cop.
I put it on, and what do you know, in the first few minutes it made me laugh which turned into a choking splutter. Thirty minutes in and I started to get some noise coming out with the giggles. Right when the movie reached it's peak, I couldn't hold it in anymore, a shriek escaped my lips followed by deep rumbling laughter. I was cured! I had my voice back!
The doctors can't explain how it happened, but I don't care about the details. All I know is that Kevin James turned my life around

Liytle Miss Sunshine. It happened right as my parents divorce was rearing it's head around the corner, so times were tough then. That movie showed me the spirit of zen and how I need to slow down and appreciate the shotty things in life.

Guardians of the Galaxy. Been on a bad spree of hating on comic book films. Seemed like a gimmick Hollywood was whoring out so I just stopped watching them. Saw this gem over Christmas and was just blown away. Pretty sure I was depressed at the time and that movie just made me smile. Watched it 4 times in two days. Thank you everyone that was involved in that film, it really had a positive effect that changed my outlook on shit and I don't even know how.

I had actually never been to the theaters, or even watched a real movie before. It was forbidden in my family, as TV was a soul-rotting invention as explained by my mother. Eventually I got married, and it was a struggle through our courtship getting around the idea of no TV or movies to her, but she eventually came around. She missed it, I could tell. She would always tell me of this show she used to watch called King of Queens with this portly fellow who was a comedic genius. I thought it was cute the way she would talk and laugh about it, and I couldn't help but feel a tinge of guilt that I had removed that sense of joy from her life. Fast forward about 4 years, and we were having a lot of marital issues (as it sometimes happens). We had stagnated, grown bored, and entered a sort of "roommate status." It was beginning to really take a toll on us. I came home one day and told her we are going out tonight, you pick the date. Anything you want. We go out, and she is driving. She made me close my eyes and told me it was a huge surprise and not to peek. We get out of the car, and she leads me to a cool and dark place. As the blindfold was lifted, I found myself in a theater. I was furious at first, and asked her why she had brought me here. I decided to swallow my pride and remember that I had told her to pick the date. Fast forward 2 hours, and I had what can be called an existential awakening. I can't believe I had never experienced such an amazing entertainment venue as a movie theater before. I looked at my wife with a gleam in my eyes, and it was like instant sparks. The kind you get when you first fall in love with that special person. We drove straight home made passionate love for hours. It saved my life, and it saved my marriage. That will forever go down in history, as the night that saved it all for me - the night that I saw my very first movie. To that I say a hearty "Thank you, Paul Blart, thank you!" The mall cop that saved my life.

One time, I was browsing through the channels after figuring out I didn't make it into college. At first I noticed that something was wrong. My cable may have been broken or something but I thought I was living a nightmare. Every channel was playing the same movie, I thought it was a joke but I assure you, it was no joke. I was so sad that I was about to go insane, when I realized that the movie on every channel was Paul Blart Mall Cop. It truly turned my life around as I decided it was my destiny to work with computer animation since the movie was way ahead of its time.
Thank you Paul Blart Mall Cop for saving my life!

[Serious] Transformers 3. Not the whole movie, but the scene where Shia is interviewing for a job with John Malkovich. In the scene Shia gets upset about being offered a shitty mail room job and proceeds to explain to John's character that he's done shit that matters and would like to have a job where he matters again. I had just left the Army and was in college looking for a part time job when I saw the movie. That scene exemplified exactly how I felt going to interviews for shitty jobs that were offering shitty pay. I felt entitled to more than $9 an hour doing a job a fucking money could do. I didn't spend 9 year traveling to far flung third world shit holes to do something menial and inconsequential. I didn't risk my life and sanity to take instructions from some 19 year old burn out. Then John's character responded with a line that changed my perspective, "This isn't the job you want. The job you want is the one after this, and this job is standing in your way." I.e. I was starting over again in the civilian world and would have to accept the fact that I would have to start at the bottom where ever I went.

I moved to another city so my wife could be closer to her parents. Not only did I miss my home and all of my friends but I also missed the feeling that I was enough for her, because if I was we could have lived anywhere. I couldn't find a job in the city and was rejected endlessly by employers. My self esteem withered away like the leaves in winter and I would start drinking earlier and earlier every day until making it until 5 p.m was a real challenge. Sometimes I considered suicide by I didn't have the energy to plan it. I would think about jumping off the balcony but this would mean I would have to jump, and my soul was broken. I was drinking myself to death until I was inspired by something magical. Kevin James inspired me to put down the bottle and keep living and I grew courage, determination, self esteem, and a mustache. If the academy wasn't so corrupt Paul Blart: Mall Cop would have won him an Oscar.

I personally feel light comedies where the story line is about something inconsequential and funny really takes the edge off in a stressful time. Like guys/people who don't make a big deal out of things and pursue their own thing in a hilarious way. Like Harold and Kumar movies and Superbad, etc. And movies like Clueless, Enchanted, etc.

I once experienced a really painful breakup. My girlfriend of over a year and half called me out of the blue and said "I just don't know what I want anymore". And we never spoke again. Our favorite movie to watch together was always Paul Blart: Mall Cop and it always got us through rough times. Unfortunately, this movie left a sour note in me and it hurt to watch it.
That's until recently, when I saw the trailer for Paul Blart: Mall Cop 2. A rush of excitement washed over me and wiped away any bad feelings towards my favorite movie character.
OP, do yourself a favor and watch Paul Blart: Mall Cop. It will get you through rough times.

I was going to make a throwaway for this but whatever. A few years ago I was in a bad place... using heroin as often as I could and always just focusing on getting enough money one way or another to get the next fix. I was beating around with a really hard bunch, those people that just months prior to my using I would avoid like the plague. I luckily avoided any jail time but I was no stranger to police run ins.
Nothing was going right. I had a year left of my under graduate degree before dropping out and spending my tuition money on drugs.
After about a year of this nonsense my family and close friends staged an intervention in my apartment. They sat me down and made me watch Paul Blart Mall Cop, and to say it changed my life is an understatement. Ever since that fateful moment I have been sober and loving life!

There are a lot of joke posts here, but I swear this is true. I had to get a root canal, that my regular dentist could not do because of problems in the root, so he sent me to a specialist. The specialist's office has the coolest setup I've ever seen. They offer you a choice of movies to watch while getting your procedure, but it's not on the ceiling where it can be blocked as the dentist leans over you. They have goggles with headphones, with blinders on the sides so that you can't see anything but the movie. It's an amazing way to get a root canal, because you can just keep your attention on the show and kind of forget that somebody is drilling in your teeth.
I watched Paul Blart: Mall Cop while they worked, and it was definitely a better experience than getting a root canal with no movie at all.

Forrest Gump.
I was really down in the dumps, and I fielt I could really relate to Jenny in more than a few ways. The message of the movie that "Life just happens" and the outcome of Jenny lifted my spirits in more than a few ways. My favorite movie of all time. Male here.

Mr. Nobody
I was going through a weird existential questioning phase where I was often very uncertain and afraid of my future. It was a fun movie that also made me think a lot about the uncertainty in every future, and to just go along with it.

Requiem for A Dream
When I was young and stupid I was having some issues with life. Worried about failure in love, school, and life in general. People kept telling me how good Requiem for a Dream was but that it was horribly depressing. I figured that I should watch it just to see what all the fuss was about. I watched as life spiraled out of control for the characters and the bad decisions that they made pushed them farther and farther into addiction and self harm and I came to a stunning realization. I was in a much better place than anyone like that. I had infinitely better prospects and made way better choices.
Every bad consequence fueled by every bad choice in that movie just served to re-enforce this good feeling that I got inside me knowing that I would not make mistakes near as bad as those I was watching. By the end as the characters wound down with no hope and crushing sadness I realized that I was happy, I realized that life was on a good path for me and that if I worked hard I would be just fine. I might not ever be capable of attaining perfection in anything but I realized I didn't need that to be happy. All I needed was moderate success.
The movie still makes me feel happy because:
TLDR: Requiem for a Dream made me see that my worst fears were nothing compared to the reality of some people, and that brought me peace.

Not a movie, but 30 Rock brought my husband and I together. I had always loved that show and mentioned it once to him in passing when we were just friends. Several months later I was going through a really rough breakup, so he came over to hang out and suggested we watch some 30 Rock. It was hours of wonderful humor, idolizing Tina Fey, and budding romance.

This is a long story but you'll understand at the end
One day I was walking to school and I saw a homeless guy. He looked at me and yelled, Purple Box. After that he fell over and was dead immediately. I was shocked
When I got to school I told my friends about the homeless guy. I asked them if they knew what purple box was. They got pissed at me and kicked my ass, stole my wallet. I had to go to the principals office to explain. I asked my principal if he knew what purple box was. His expression changed and he expelled me there on the spot.
My mom came and picked me up. She was furious, she had no idea why i was expelled. I told her the story and asked her if she knew was purple box was. She slammed on the brakes and kicked me out of the car and made me walk home. When I got home my dad was there waiting for me. I was crying at this point and asked him, dad, all I want to know is what is purple box.
He beat the living shit out of me. I mean to a pulp. I was literally gushing blood from my mouth. He said I was disowned and was told to get the fuck out of his house.
I packed a bag and left. I was walking around downtown and saw a homeless guy. He yelled Purple Box. I walked over and asked him What the hell is purple box. He pointed to a billboard down the road and said you will find your answer there.
I ran as fast as I could and saw a billboard with an arrow pointing left and it said Purple Box!! I was so curious I decided to run faster, I ran out into the road and got hit by a truck and was killed...
At my funeral the pastor put a copy of Paul Blart 2 Mall Cop (bootleg cam quality but still 720p) on my casket and I immediately came back to life to tell you this story.

Aside from the onslaught on Blart refs... I tend to shelter myself away on books and movies. The real world isn't something I fully get or it doesn't get me. I guess just like films & their characters of misunderstood beings and stories, I have found an escape or relate ability in them.
I try talking to people but it seems many of the people around me just want to hear themselves talk. So I most of the time just sit and observe and wait till I can go home from work or from whatever feasible amount of social activities I've allowed myself to fall into.
When I'm home, it's another story... I have a world of people that are beautiful, broken, angry, funny, sweet, gritty, intriguing, intelligent. I can change the narrative as opposed to my own dull conversations with friends I've known since middle school. It's sad, but the real/outside world today is so small compared to the world in books & films.
If you've read this far (and wow)... you may say, what's wrong with you, or you sound depressed. You're probably right... I've gone through stints of therapy but it only puts a temporary band-aid on it. The problem is the world and communication and how we all talk to each other. And I am aware, yes, I am more sensitive to it.
With that said here are the films that have had impact on me and not just for communication standards. I tend to go to films that help me feel how I'm feeling.

This might sound a little strange, but I will always cherish this. My ex girlfriend and I were going through a pretty harsh breakup. She cheated on me more than once and I was putting a stop to it. I was leaving her house after fighting and ending things, and as I was experiencing those mixed emotions, you know, the ones where you are finally free of Satan's grasp but you desire to be back in it? Satan being my ex for our slower redditors. Anyway I went back home, made a bag of popcorn, furiously masterbated, and watched Paul Blart Mall Cop. It changed my whole perspective on things, and I now have an Eagle tattooed on my back to remind me how much of a cheating whore she was...

I would watch grandma's boy when I was unemployed every night to fall asleep. It was right when the recession hit and the area I lived in was based around touristy stuff so decent jobs were hard to come by. I eventually got my foot in the door from a friend at her current employer and I was able to help support a family of 4 for a good year until another job offer came up out of state.

(500) Days of Summer helped me get through a rough time after I had a weird story with a girl. It's basically the best way to explain modern relationship to people who expected real life to be like Disney movies. It is also a very good movie, will make you laugh, you don't have to be sad to watch it.

Serious answer:
A year or two ago I had a young people's mistake incident involving a dirty dish, an open trash can, open windows, 3 days away, and a room full of maggots. I spent over two hours clearing them from every corner of the room, under the rugs, in my clothes, every where, killing them with spoons and whatever, in a near panic attack state.
I crawled up onto my bed after triple checking it, curled up in the fetus position, and nearly lost my mind. I took out my computer and put on a series called Kino's Journey. It was so relaxing and thoughtful. It was soothing in a way I never had from any other similar form of media. It washed the panic away.
Technically an anime series, not a movie, but beggars can't be choosers.

"50/50" with Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Seth Rogen.
I found this movie right after my grandfather passed away from his brief battle with cancer. It gave me a lot of perspective. It made me realize that losing my grandfather, which seemed like the end of the world because I was still a kid, wasn't a unique experience. And that a lot of good, happy families can be torn apart by cancer. But on the flip side, the other 50% (let's say), modern medicine is getting better and there's even more hope for cancer patients these days.

A little bit more than a year ago, I was this close to throwing myself off a bridge, never told that to anyone, they knew that I was not in a happy place, but they never knew it was that bad. My parents made me talk to a therapist weekly. If I hadn't I would've killed myself. I don't even know his last name. He saved my life and all I know is that his first name is Paul, and that his last name starts with a G I think.
Edit: didn't realize the question was about which movie helped you out.

A few years ago I was going through a really tough time. I was fed up with life and all its pain. I had finally decided to go through with it and put the quickest end to my relentless suffering. Over the next couple days, I got it all planned out. I wrote a note to my family. I wrote a note to each one of my friends. I prepared a piece of paper with each of my logins and what to write to my friends online. I even had planned the time and place I would carry out my act. I would do it after dinner with my family on that fateful night.
I sat down at dinner. I felt a little happy because my suffering would finally come to an end, but also sad because I knew my family would miss me. We had a nice meal, the four of us. When I finished, I told my family I loved them like I normally do and went back up to my room to prepare myself for what I was about to do.
A couple minutes later my mother called up to me to come watch a movie with them. It was a movie that they knew I had been wanting to watch for a long time and, conveniently, it was playing on tv. I decided, why not, it couldn't hurt to spend another hour or so with my family.
We sat on that couch for over an hour and a half. In that hour and a half, I found what I had been missing. I felt like there was a weight being lifted off my shoulders. All along I was only depressed because I hadn't seen this movie.
The name of that movie? Paul Blart Mall Cop

I was about 10 during 2009. My favourite boy band split up, I was going through the awkward stage, and my only "friends" were bullies. One day my mom came home with a pizza and a movie. We sat down together (with my other family members) and watched a movie that was the opposite of how I felt. It was Paul Blart Mall Cop. A happy movie for a sad me. I can say that film really cheered me up for at least a few hours.

It was not long ago when I was at a tough time in my life. I had given up on the world and decided to quit my career in marine biology and just do nothing. Hell I did better and decided to make a show with a comedian I knew, a show about nothing. Well, somewhere shit went wrong and I ended up killing my wife with poorly bought postal stamps. After that I took a job in architecture, but quickly left it to join the New York Yankees. I was rousted from the job when confronted by the Van Buren Boys and I forgot their secret signal (it's showing 8 fingers if you're interested). After that I drifted for a while and eventually hit my all time low as I spent a year in jail for mocking a fat person who was getting mugged across the street. It was there in my prison cell I discovered Paul Blart: Mall Cop. I turned my life around that very day and upon being released I became an extremely successful humanitarian at the head of The Human Fund. During that glorious time, I met Kevin James and immediately dropped to my hands and knees as I kissed his feet. I told him how his inspirational movie changed my life and it was about that time I realized Kevin James was 7 stories tall and a crustacean from the paleolithic era. He asked for tree fiddy and when I showed him my empty pockets he simply replied "No soup for you"

They just don't make movies like that anymore. The scene where he spends his lunch redoing his job with quality workmanship rang true to me on so many levels. Not to mention that song which overlays the scene. My eyes teared the first time I saw it. I am old as fuck though. Actually users of this website won't be able to relate,nor will their parents.

I got laid off back in January and ended up running really low on money through the ensuing months. My mother was very supportive in letting me stay with her while I job searched, but I didn't have much luck in doing so and grew very depressed since I'd just ended a very lengthy relationship a few months prior. I ended up being down to my last tree fiddy, so I went down to the local cheap theater that was showing Paul Blart: Mall Cop. I got to say it really inspired me. I was able to change my attitude towards life, regain my confidence, and I was employed again in a matter of weeks and found my soul mate.

There are a lot of movies that have helped me through rough times. I remember in the 1990's when I was dealing with my first marriage dissolving (we should have never married, but college pregnancies happen). I was depressed, living along and working/eating/sleeping, no social life.
I had a buddy who worked at a video store and he recommended a movie he wouldn't tell me anything about - the Usual Suspects. I remember watching it twice and being completely blown away by a simple realization - you know who would have spotted who Keyser Soze was on the first story? Paul Blart, Mall Cop. That movie really just ruined the notion of suspense, as I just have to ask, WWPBD?

So yesterday I was feeling really down about Gabe's recent tyranny over modders. While I was considering posting spiteful meme's on the valve forums, strange but wonderful moving pictures entranced my attention from the corner of my eyes.
The movie captured the struggle of modders perfectly, the brave security guards of gaming morality and creativity without support from the "real designers" ( REAL "pffft" COPS). Paul Blart: Mall Cop god bless, the movie that fuelled the gaming revolution.

Fight Club. It really led to a reassessment of what was important to me, and although I don't always feel too excellent, I can at least be comfortable with the certainty that I decide what matters to me.

it's been a long few years for me, my mom died at a freak Gap accident when a light fell on her. My cat Dan broke a leg and couldnt recover. he has wheels for back legs now so i call him Wheely Dan. I randomly was recommended Paul Blart Mall Cop by a friend. Its really shown me that anything is possible. And kept me going. Thanks, Paul Blart Mall Cop

I didn't have enough money to buy food for my family this month. Then I won the lottery. The first thing I did was treat them to a family movie night to see Paul Blart: Mall cop. As a single parent, I had an existential crisis by the end of the credits.
I still don't have money to pay for food because I spent it all on a Segway. He taught me that Segway = success. I've made a good friend on my daily patrol by 'hotdog on a stick'. But I am more interested in Cinnabon girl. She's only 17 but we can connect on deeper levels. One day, I hope to enter the Annapolis mall cop academy and ask her to join me in rebuilding my life. Our life.
Thanks, Paul Blart. I can't believe your masterpiece isn't already available in DVD or bluray format.

Unfortunately, everyone I've ever loved was standing under taking a group photo. I thought I'd watch Paul Blart Mall Cop and seriously its taken my mind off it ever since. Its been 4 years.

Been having a really bad day, sad to say Paul blart did not do shit to cheer me up.
This post however, cheered me right up.
I guess in the end I have Kevin James to thank for this, even though I have never actually seen the movie. Since it seems so damn inspirational I might have to check it out.

After lots of family trouble, I finally got a girlfriend a few years ago. Fast forward to today, she just broke up with me a week ago. You see, for our first date, we watched Paul Blart: Mall Cop for our first date, typical 8th grade stuff. But when she dumped me, I realized I could watch the second for some closure. Boy was I right, Paul Blart taught me to let go and that I shouldn't be afraid to be alone. Thank you and God bless Paul Blart.

Time for a serious answer. For me, it wasn't a movie that helped me but an anime show. I know that sounds kind of lame, but it really had an impact on me. The name of the show is "Welcome to the N.H.K." I started watching it when I was pretty much at an all time low; depressed, overweight, and pretty much doing nothing with my life. I watched the whole show, 24 episodes, in about 2 days. It really changed how I viewed my life, and helped me want to change it. It's been a little more than a year now, but ive managed to lose 85 lbs, get back in school, and become a generally happier person. I still have some problems, but progress is progress. I recommend it to anyone struggling with similar issues.

I was fresh out of the psych center with no job and crippling anxiety. It felt like the world was collapsing around me. I wasn't hearing the Pebble People anymore but I still thought about them often. It was also around this time that I became a strict vegan after watching the motion picture Chicken Run. The lack of protein left me feeling tired and spacy, which, combined with the anxiety, was a recipe for depression. There were times when I wanted to end it all. For months, my life consisted of eating vegetable broth three times a day (bean burritos on special occasions) and lying in bed staring at the ceiling. As if things couldn't get any worse, I saw my ex girlfriend Katie at the Pavilion on Christmas Day, and not only did she look amazingly fit, but her new boyfriend looked like a bearded model out of an L.L. Bean catalog. So there I was... broke, hungry, depressed, and alone. One smoggy day I walked to the beach and just looked out at the water. I realized that I'd be better off as fish food- part of the grand Pacific- than continuing my putrid, selfish existence. My plan was clear: return to my moldy apartment for one last night-- write a brief note explaining my decision-- and return to the ocean the next day, where I would drift into the sea and sink down into the depths below; I had never felt a part of anything before-- and now I would become part of the Pacific-- home at last. But when I got home on that fateful Tuesday evening, I turned on the television to stifle the silence of my sad, lonely apartment. There was a movie playing called Paul Blart: Mall Cop. There was something captivating about the protagonist. I saw myself in him somehow. The depth in his eyes penetrated the screen, revealing the soul behind this portly man. I knew in that moment that my pain was his pain, and his pain was mine. A calmness and relief washed over me. Suddenly, drifting into the ocean seemed silly and emo. And that's how Paul Blart: Mall Cop saved my life.

It's a very comforting movie, much more so because it's my favorite book series.

Walter White had to copies of Mr Magorium's Wonder Emporium! I have him beat, though. I have THREE copies of Paul Blart Mall Cop.
One playing on loop in each room of the shrines that were once the rooms of my children. They were killed in an auto accident after their mother put on Scooby Doo instead of Paul Blart mall cop for them to watch in the family mini van.
The children gasped at the shocking reveal by Scooby and the Gang which caused my wife to be surprised. She looked over at the screen where Scooby was playing instead of at the road, and ran straight into a semi.
If only they would have been watching Paul Blart Mall Cop, they would have been saved!

Welp my turn I guess..
My entire family died in a fire 4 years ago. My cat killed himself 3 months ago by hanging. I'm now alone. With no one but myself and a scratched copy of a delightful film known as Paul Blart: Mall Cop
This film alone has saved my life 42 times. If you haven't seen it, I highly recommend it. I'm sure this will be down voted to hell but it's a great little comedy.

I had a nasty car accident that left my face pretty badly damaged in my junior year of high school. Long story short I was made fun of pretty badly for about six months. I spiraled into a deep depression and eventually found myself sitting in my armchair about to take a handful of pills but then my TV miraculously turned on and Paul Bart: Mall Cop was playing. I immediately got off my ass, tossed the pills down the garbage chute, and I haven't even considered suicide for five years now.

I decided to go see it the next day and never though about death or suicide again.

Well, that's a tough question.
About ten years ago I dropped out of the 11th grade. I was deeply depressed at the time. Everything that could've gone wrong, had, from my perspective. My mom had recently (near the end of the 10th grade) lost the fight against cancer, after 6 long years. She was everything in my life. I just disappeared. I stopped hanging out with my friends, and I stopped going to school. I had never felt so empty in my life before.
I drifted around for a while, working minimum wage jobs (I'd never gotten my license so I could never go far from my home).
At some point one of my old friends reached out to me again, and invited me to hang out. To make the story shorter, I went to her house, and we watched Super Troopers. I felt indiferrent about the entire experience. Nothing changed, and I didn't speak to her again afterwards. Then, years later, Paul Blart: Mall Cop came out and changed my life. I rented the movie, and found 300 dollars in the case, allowing me to finally get my license, in turn inspiring me to turn my life around. The movie itself was hilarious; I hadn't laughed so hard in years. I felt like my mom was right there, laughing along with me. Paul Blart changed my life. I now work as a mall security gaurd and have a loving wife and 2 beautiful children. I also have diabetes.

I was forced to watch "it's kind of a funny story" for my psychology class sophomore year of college. At the time I was struggling with deep depression and even suicidal thoughts. I watched it with my roommates and they had no idea about this. After watching the movie I told them about it and went a got help. Now I'm currently two years depression "free". This movie will always hold a special place with me.

It's called Paul Blart Mall Cop.

The first time I ever saw Paul Blart Mall Cop I couldn't stop laughing because the protagonist (I think his name was Patrick?) has the exact same condition! It was just nice to not feel so alone in the matter, and my condition actually got considerably better until now I am narcolepsy-free! That movie changed my life.

When I was nine, we had kept three dogs on the property which had all been adopted off the streets. As a single child without a computer or tv living in the jungles of Borneo they were all I would spend time with after school. Because they were strays, we had a few nasty incidents where they jumped over the fence and started harassing neighbours. After one neighbour got hurt while being chased by one of our dogs, dad put a leash on them so they would stay in the yard. The next day, however, I came back to find one of my dogs strangled as it tried to jump over the fence all the same. It seems that the lead was a little too long. I found that Paul Blart Mall Cop really came through and showed me that life wasn't really that terrible, even though that troubled time.

This was in 2008, when most of us we're getting fucked over.
My department was 'reduced' (or eviscerated). So I lost my job. Along with it my health benefits, company car, 401K contributions, etc. I bought a used car - necessary for working where I live. Then it broke, again, more money, more costs. I quickly realized a pattern: the more I tried to save by cutting corners the more it seemed to bite me in the ass. Get the discount bread. Then it goes bad faster. Get the low interest card. Then there's more service fee's. Seriously the system is fucked, and stacked to keep poor people poor, but I digress.
So there I was, watching my girlfriend pack her bags to go find 'someone worth their time' since I could no longer 'provide' for our fun outings etc(ouch). I had by this point been unemployed for about 6 months - savings were running thin, I had already downsized to a smaller / cheaper apartment, and my diet basically sucked. I was really in a tight spot and realized I needed a job - any job - and NOW. I could figure out the "resume my career" (I worked as a financial advisor) AFTER I had enough to eat, paid rent, and all that.
So, after a long day of applying for jobs, most of them pretty depressing (dishwasher, janitor, security guard, etc), I decided to rent a film. Now, back then we had things called "video stores", which looking back seems already quaint and dated (I actually had Netflix back then, before I lost my job, but they would mail you a dvd. Sounds ludicrous now but thats how they started, folks). So, there I am at the mall near my house going into a blockbuster and perusing the aisles. I pick up something I hadn't seen before, but the pimply-faced kid at the cashier said him and his friends enjoyed it (shit, I almost asked the poor kid if they were hiring).
I realize I'm short on cash for the movie rental, which was something like 7 bucks. I had about half that, almost exactly. Feeling like a total loser, embarrassed that I can't afford a 7 dollar movie rental, and basically wanting to get out of there I murmur something about having to refill my parking meter and needing the change, then head straight the fuck out of there. I recall this shame quite vividly, as there was a attractive woman next to me in line I had been chatting with. When I realized I was too broke for 7 dollars, I was too embarassed to even look at her again and just headed for the door.
So, there I am purposely striding out the door, with each step putting distance between me and reminders of my own downright impoverishment, when I reach into my pocket for my cellphone to check the time. In my pocket is a candybar from Blockbuster, one of this extra-big Oh Henry's that has like 4 little Oh Henry's inside. In my embarassment at the cashier I had forgotten I even put it in there. I am just stopping in my tracks to turn around and return it to Pimple-Kid Jr. when - SLAM. I get tackled by what must have been 300 pounds of small-town American mall justice.
From my dazed and broken prostrate position, looking up, I saw the grim visage of a man truly possessed. There stood Paul Blart, Mall cop. Looking down at me with the ferocity of a thousand burning suns, he asked a singular question that struck me to the core of my being:
"Why didn't you pay for that?" Wracked with fear, completely subordinated to my primal emotions of shame, guilt, I meekly squeaked out through semi-crushed ribs, "I.... I didn't have enough... in fact, I need about three fiddy"

Hey op have a real answer.
Not so much a movie but a TV show. The office. The lowest point in my life was when I started going through the divorce with my wife. I binge watched it. Probably twice through.
Dwight and Jim. Kept my spirits up. Helped me with the day. Made little things funny. I'm forever grateful for Asian Jim.

This is probably gonna get buried, but I think that there's really only one must -watch in the entire history of film.
You know, I had been suffering from a fairly severe and life-threatening illness for years now. It's pretty rare, even now, and the doctors said that they weren't sure what they could do about it. Some sort of solar radiation, they would say. I was given only five years to live, at best.
One night, my girlfriend decided that we'd go back to the first spot I ever took her. Our local movie theatre. I'll never forget that night. We bought our tickets, grabbed our popcorn, and walked down the long aisle to watch one final movie before I passed away.
The film started, and I was immediately enraptured by it. The characters, their struggles, the plot, everything; it reflected who I was. It was who I needed to be. I felt the main character's hand at one point, when he stretched towards the camera. Our fingertips barely grazed one another, but the spark was there.
By the end, I let my tears flow freely. I wanted that moment to go on forever. That one solitary moment of my beloved being wrapped in my arms, of the lights slowly rising and becoming bright, of the murmurs and sounds of the crowd surrounding us. But it wouldn't have been a moment if it lasted forever, would it?
When I went into the doctor's office the following day for my weekly check-up, they were astonished to find that my illness was gone. They couldn't find anything wrong with me. I was the picture of perfect health. There was even a $100 bill in my back pocket that I hadn't noticed. They called it a miracle. I knew what had happened; the movie had cured me. I called my girlfriend and we sobbed together for hours, and then had sex for even longer. The birds sang. The air, the grass, it was all so beautiful to see again. I'll never forget what that movie did for me.
And that movie's name?
Paul Blart: Mall Cop.

Good Will Hunting seems to be mine, when I'm feeling like I'm not where I should be. It's a damn good story, and really discovers how people let their past haunt them, and the future scares them too much. It's also my favorite Robin Williams' performance. Seems to transcend a different spirit of himself.
When I don't wanna get to sulky, Pulp Fiction or Kill Bill. Can't go wrong with some Tarantino.

I grew up in a pretty abusive household. I used to to daydream a lot to take my mind off of things. I would fantasize about Kevin James being my father. I'd lie in bed and imagine him flying through my window on his magic Segway scooter and tucking me in. He'd give me a kiss on the forehead, and be on his way. Paul Blart is love. Paul Blart is life.

I've been married to my wife for nearly six years now and these past three or so, we've been really trying to start a family. We both decided that it was time to raise a family and settle down and so she stopped taking the pill, and our journey of trying to conceive a child began.
Perhaps journey is not the right word. Stress, anger, and sadness are better words that come to mind when I think of our attempts at trying to conceive. Me and my wife are both extremely family oriented and so my wife's infertility quickly became a huge issue in our relationship and we started fighting frequently. In one of our most heated fights, I got so fed up that I laid it out all out on the table. I told her that I had sometimes regretted marrying her because of her infertility and she began sobbing uncontrollably. She said some pretty hurtful things back to me that I don't feel comfortable mentioning on reddit and essentially brought up the possibility of divorce. My stomach immediately sank and I, in my mid 30s, felt that my life was over. I'd never raise the family I wanted and by the time I'd remarry, if that would even happen, I'd be a middle aged man. Visions of me being the oldest parent at my imaginary child's kindergarten parent-teacher conference began to creep into my mind. I shed tears over the thought that I wouldn't get to see my future son or daughter graduate college, let alone be a grandfather.
I felt that the rest of my life had been written out for me already and I did not like it but at the same time, there was nothing I could do about it. I wished that I could go back in time Marty McFly style and break up me and my wife before we ever got married.
And so as our fight began to wither down and we stopped screaming at each other, my wife said she was going to bed and that I would be sleeping on the couch in the living room. At this point, I had never slept on the living room couch and this fight marked a true low point in our marriage.
That night as I was trying to fall asleep, my mind was racing playing out a million scenarios in which I always end up miserable and unhappy. This was driving me nuts and I could not fall asleep so I turn on the TV. I start watching the first channel that isn't playing a commercial, just something to distract me from my own thoughts. Little did I know that this movie was more than just a distraction. Anyways, as I'm just starting to get into the movie, I hear footsteps coming down the stairs. It's late at night and I hear my wife walk into the kitchen and pour herself a glass of water. She walks out to the living room and says to me, "Are you watching what I think you're watching?" I nod and she sits down on the other side of the couch and starts watching with me. By the end of the movie we were making passionate love on the living room floor and we realized that maybe starting a family wasn't the most important thing in the world. Every since that fight, our marriage has been better than ever. Neither of us is too concerned about the notion of having kids and we are both perfectly content with our lives as is.
I have Andy Fickman to thank for directing this masterpiece of a movie and Kevin James for playing the heroic lead.
Paul Blart Mall Cop, you saved my marriage, my sanity, and my life. Thank you so so much.

I don't know the name of the movie because I couldn't and didn't understand English back then. However, seeing the moving images sure got me through a tough time. Basically, the movie was about believing in yourself despite what others might think of you. It's probably just me and it might be different for others but that's the message that I got from those moving pictures. Anyway, the movie is about a fat police inside a mall.

After failing to lose my virginity due to extreme excitement induced erectile disfunction, I decided to watch Paul Blart: Maul Cop. The movie had a magical effect on my penis. I got an erection that lasted over four hours and had sex with multiple hookers, staying rock hard even between orgasms. I am no longer a virgin due to Paul's good hearted nature and voluptuous stature.

Cast Away.
I was going through some mild depression for a long while because I was trying to get over this crush I had on a girl. We liked each other a lot, but she didn't want to go through a long distance relationship, since we were both about to be college freshman.
I didn't think I would ever meet a girl like her ever again. I'd thought that the person that I would best be fit with could never be outmatched, and I would have to deal with this fact of mine. However, one line really struck out to me in this film. In the last scene, when reflecting on the utter despair he had to go through on the island, only to be met with more despair when he finally came back home, he goes on to say:
"I'm so sad that I lost Kelly...but I was so grateful that she was with me on that island...
...and I know what I have to do now...gotta keep breathing...because tomorrow the sun will rise...
...who knows what the tide could bring..."
That last line really resonated with me. In an instant, almost all of my worries and thoughts about this girl were completely gone. I was able to relate a lot to Jack, and I sorta thought, if he was able to go through all of this despair and still remain optimistic about the world, then why can't I?
From then on, I turned back to my happy old self, doing things to make me happy, and moving on from my routine of dwelling on this girl. Because as dark as the night may seem, the sun never ceases to rise again.
Maybe one day I'll find my sail...
Until then...
I gotta keep breathing...

I got in a car wreck in 2010 and my best friend in the passenger seat died. I had been severely depressed for nearly a year and found no joy in anything in my day to day life. I saw some funny gifs on the internet of Kevin James dressed as a security guard and inquired more about it. I found out it was from a movie and dropped everything and sat down and watched Paul Walker Mall Cop. The laughs that movie gave me truly gave me a helping hand in climbing out of my depression.

My girlfriend of 2 and a half years just recently broke up with me. It's been really hard because in addition to her being my best friend, she blocked me on all social media, and I still miss the heck out of her. I still remember our time together in every facet of my life and each activity I hold dear (cooking, sleeping) reminds me of her. When the breakup happened, I fooled myself into thinking that I was ok and that I could move on instantly, but the facade only lasted for one day. My friends were with me, trying to help me forget about her but as soon as I lay down in my bed, I looked at the space where she used to lie at my side, and I shed a tear. This was the bed we first had sex in, shared each others lives, held each other, reassured each other, fought with each other, reconciled with each other. As I lay down, teared up and stewing in my thoughts, restless and nervous and alone, I opened my laptop, seeking some fleeting solace. I opened a note that my ex-girlfriend and I made about our favorite movies and looked at the top option, a smile appearing on my cracked lips for the first time that day: Paul Blart: Mall Cop.

This will probably get lost since I'm late to the party:
Cast Away. I was going through a divorce and my mom was being hospitalized for mental illness. The movie's message of not giving up hope, that the tide may turn and God/the Universe may send you a sail, really hit home at the time. I was feeling as if I had absolutely no options or hope. The movie made me realize it could be much much worse, and you never really know how circumstances can change. You can't control the external world, nor can you really predict it. So have faith and hope and patience and do your best. God or the Universe may just throw you a sail when you least expect it. Really great movie.

My wife left me last year, my dog died shortly after. I lost my job because of the grieving. I decided to watch one last movie before i hung myself from my bedroom ceiling fan. God bless Paul Blart Mall cop and Kevin James . They saved me that day.

I was an inch away from blasting my brains out. Then I hear a feint rumble in the distance, coming from the living room. It's one of those movies on TV. This fat guy was rolling around a shopping center on one of those scooter things. That made me drop my gun and love life again. I forget what it was called though.
Oh yeah, Paul Blart: Mall Cop

Story of a friend:
His parents got murdered down an alley and ever since he had been living with his guardian and went into a depressing phase. He said he watched this movie about a cop cleaning up the cities' malls and really helped him overcome his depression. I can't seem to recall the name of the movie though.

I remember being in a but of a 'rut' in life and seeing 'True Lies' (Schwarzenegger).
For some inexplicable reason it was the greatest audience ever. An adorable middle-aged lady and her elderly father beside us got people 'infected' with giddiness and every time she'd giggle or squeal in surprise it got everyone going.
People cheered out loud, people were applauding, I can't explain it but 500 people were just 'in the zone' at the same time. At the end people were applauding as they stood up.
There was some crazy 'magical touch' that had on the night, the entire crowd, our group and in a very real way that knocked me out of my 'rut'. I left feeling refreshed, renewed, excited again.

Where The Heart Is. Its a great movie about people who lives simple every day lives just getting themselves through personal hardships, helping friends, experiencing betrayal and lost of loved ones and the main character learns and grows in a very positive light. At one point shes talking to her friend who was jusy beaten after walking on on her boyfriend raping her children and the main character gives this beautiful mini speach on the people in the world and the people we come across. Its stayed with me ever since and has really helped me.
Its a great movie. Give it a try.

I had just gotten home from my grandmother's funeral. She was a sweet lady, always making me cookies and making me feel loved. Driving home from the funeral was one of the worst drives of my life, also considering that I almost hit 3 people because I couldn't see through my tears. When I got home, I noticed something on the counter. 'Could it be' I thought? It was. It was Nana's favorite old time movie that me and her would always watch. Paul Blart: Church Courthouse Cop.

A couple of years ago I had just gotten out of this relationship that was really bad for me. One night I decided that I needed to go out for the night after having stayed in my apartment without coming out for about a week. I grabbed my wallet and my keys and just started driving. After a while I stopped at a club and figured that the best thing to do is tty and meet a girl for a quick one night stand. I walk in and I see this beautiful blonde woman who seems to have been drinking for quite a while before I had gotten there, she leads me to the dance floor and I have the time of my life. Eventually she grabs my hand and says let's get out of here. We get a cab and 10 minutes later we are sitting on her couch and things are getting really heavy. She says that she has to go to her room to find something sexy to wear for me. I'm left sitting on the couch when I decide to start watching TV. I turn it on and yo will never guess what was on. Jurassic fucking park. I watch it for about twenty minutes until she comes back out and we finally get to do our Paul Blart mall cop roleplay.

So seriously, Paul Blart: Mall Cop is my actual answer. A few days before its opening weekend, my father died. I flew back to Louisiana from Colorado only to find my father in hospice care and not responding. When my family arrived, he drifted away and had a very calm but impacting death. The days after was spent with my brother kind of just wondering what the next steps were. Where would we spread his ashes, how will his children feel, is this going to feel better? My brother and I were really down so we decided to go see a movie as a family (mother, brother, sister-in-law, two nieces). My brother suggested that we need to watch Paul Blart, because he "really just needed to laugh." We all sat down, midway up the theater, middle of the aisle. Needless to say, premium seating. Nothing made me happier to see my brother and his two daughters laughing until they cried. I sat eating my Red Vines rehashing the events of the past two days. Thinking about my father, the strong man he once was, now cremated in a box filled with the grinded down bones into sand sitting in my mothers lap as she sipped her diet Coke and let out a bit of non-forced laughter finally. So yeah, Paul Blart actually helped my family overcome tragedy. #BlartSaves

I'll never forget October 2010. My girlfriend and I went to different universities and both thought the long distance relationship thinkg could work, but it didn't, I found out from a mutual friend that she had been seeing a guy for a few weeks before she called it off with me. I was in a new place trying to make new friends but I just wanted to be alone. That semester was really rough and I didn't go out too often and kinda kept to myself mostly. The turning point was when I realized that it was friday night 10pm and I had been playing computer games and browsing reddit for the last 4 hours. I went to the dorm lobby to see what was going on and remembered that that friday was movie night. A bunch of people were crowded around the tv kinda watching the movie but more cracking stupid jokes and talking. I'll never forget the night Paul Blart Mall Cop helped me get out of my shell.

I'm just going to leave this here:
About two weeks ago, I was recovering from a laparoscopic cholecystectomy. The procedure's not too bad, but it was my second day post-op and the pain was getting the better of me. I popped a Norco and prayed to the narcotic gods that the pain would subside.
My boyfriend came to visit me at my parents house. Not being able to anything physically (or mentally, really) demanding, I requested we pick out a movie from the Redbox at the grocery store. When I tried to get out of the car, I cried. I felt so helpless. Physically, I was incapacitated, reduced to nothing more than a very slow, hunched over shell of who I normally was. Mentally, I felt imprisoned in a temporarily useless body.
Once inside the store, I began flipping through the selections, listlessly.
Until I happened upon Paul Blart Mall Cop on BluRay. I don't really know what compelled me to rent it, but I did, recalling that it was an easy-to-watch film. My boyfriend didn't comment on my selection. My mother, however, refused to watch it, remembering not enjoying it the first time around. I returned it the next day without watching it.

My reply's late but dear lord this looks fun.
I was sitting there, staring at the ceiling. Flashbacks of it kept racing through my head: the gnashing of limbs, the fileting of skin, and the potatoes thrown at us as well. It was a massacre, and no one survived but me and my hamster. My whole family was gone in a matter of minutes. Recovering from a massacre is no fun, let me tell you. Things were getting pretty heavy. I was drinking, I was driving, even my hamster somehow had a tiny bottle of what looked like alcohol in his cage, indicating he was headed down a dark path himself.
After losing my job, mostly because my boss was in the massacre as well, I was running low on funds. I hit rock bottom when I reached the last drop of beer and all I was left with was a cold bottle that lacked any sort of comfort. Things were getting nihilistic; my hamster had reached his last tiny sip as well, and was visibly hopping around in fury.
Then, out of nowhere, a blu-ray DVD gets slipped under my door.
It's Paul Blart: Mall Cop.
A moment of quiet enlightenment overtakes me. The kind gift of a random stranger gave me just enough of a nudge that I suddenly felt like everything would be okay. I also noticed that my beer was suddenly refilled. Another magical effect of this fantastic movie, I suppose. I sold the movie for $2 at a used pawn shop and bought a bottle of beer with the very last $2 to my name. This was all actually very recent, I think I'm homeless now.

Japanese drama and anime was a way to temporarily escape my reality (like many forms of art are): I busted my ass in school in engineering only to be jobless from 2008 to 2010 at age 21.
I would just sit in front of the computer all day watching these shows to entertain myself. One prevalent theme in Japanese stories are youth and passion, students don't know what the future holds but they keep trying hard in school while enjoying friendship, falling in love for the first time, participating even if you suck at something.
I love watching them, and decided that it was great irony to love these dramas then turn around to completely ignore the values it tried to convey. I amped up and became more aggressive with my job search, when I'm not doing that i went out and spent time with people etc. I stopped being a hermit essentially.

My entire life was in ruins. I lost a job that I had held for more than 16 years and as a result my wife filed for divorce and took custody over both our two wonderful daughters. My single mother also became extremely ill and eventually died of pancreatic cancer around the same time I got fired. My entire life had gone from fairly good to downright hopeless in the span of just one week. January of 2009 was a really bad time in my life and at times i had considered suicide as the only option to end my pain and suffering. However on January 16 something amazing happened to me that changed my life forever. On January 16 2009 Paul Blart Mall Cop was released in theatres and I went out to go see it just on a whim because it looked really funny in the trailers. That afternoon after walking out of the theatre I had gained a completely new outlook on life. There is just something about a morbidly obese man riding around on segway that triggers something deep inside of you y'know? The feeling is hard to describe but that evening I got call from my manager saying that he wanted hire me again for a position above the one I had previously held with almost double the salary. Upon getting this news I called up my ex-wife and told her. We got back together the next week and have been living together happily ever since. Unfortunately my mother was still dead but I like to think that she is somewhere up there still watching over me and looking out for me just like when she was alive. All I can say is thank you Paul Blart Mall Cop, your film is an amazing work of art that had an profound effect on my life for the much better. So thank you.

Not a movie, but Parks and Recreation is such a hilarious and heart-felt show. I watched and re-watched it a lot during my depression last year. Normal sitcoms seem to build up on the irony of how things seem to be going so right for these characters that you've come to love, only to have that opportunity snatched away from them, all for comedic effect. Sure, I like a lot of sitcoms that follow that formula, but it's much more enjoyable to see characters that are positive and able to overcome trials, as well as go out of their way for the people they love and make a positive impact in their lives. I love that show :)

YES!! I just started watching it this past winter on Netflix and it really improved my mood. I'd been sick for months with SAD/IBS flare-ups but Parks and Rec made me feel a lot better. It helps too because it takes place in my home state (Indiana) and that made me feel at home.

I was living in west philly at the time. I had some drama with the local gang and my mom thought it be best for me to live with family elsewhere, she was tied to her job. So off I went, missed my mom like crazy. I mean my aunt and uncle are cool and all but I really missed her. I put on a movie one night, I forget the name, about a cop at a shopping mall, I filled the house with laughter. I went to a shopping mall later, and said 'smell ya later' to the cabbie.

It's not really a movie, but it's a series on Netflix.
Merlin, the BBC series
I started watching it in early March of 2013 and at first I really didn't like it because of how different it was from traditional tellings of the story of Merlin and Arthur. It grew on me though. I liked the story telling and the actors were awesome. I began watching it more frequently and got to the last season somewhere in the first few weeks of April. One rainy Sunday I was playing dnd with some friends when I got a text message from my dad asking when I would be home. I told him it might be late and he asked for a time. I didn't really know what time so I told him I wasn't sure. He called me up and said that, even though he wanted to tell me in person, my grandpa had died. My grandpa was the person in my life that was the closest to me. He taught me everything I knew and I loved him more than anything in the world. I drove home in tears. I zombie'd my way through a single day of school and then rushed down south to my mother's home. I spent a week helping make arrangements and taking care of things. Since I knew the man the most, I was able to show them things that they had missed.
In my free time I watched Merlin, and it hit upon me how similar my grandpa was to Gaius, the main character's mentor. After the funeral was done I watched the last four episodes and sobbed. I still cry when I think about it sometimes.

There was a time when I was like fourteen where I felt really depressed about a lot of things and "Spider-Man 2" and "Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban" were really uplifting for me. Especially since I could relate to Peter and Harry ; just your feelings taking over you and screwing up every aspect of your life, but managing to admit them and finding that balance and happiness in life.
Also, one afternoon after High School, I came home feeling really sad about something. I tuned in the TV to see what was on and came across "Zoolander", which I hadn't really watched before. And my whole day was made by the gas station scene.
And there was that one time a few years ago when "Paul Blart: Mall Cop" saved me from committing suicide and directed my life towards a career in mall security.

Honestly, and you'll probably find this weird, Star Wars Episode III. That movie came out in 2005 and I was going through a rough time in my life. At that point in my life, I had lost most, if not all, of my childhood friends. We had grown apart and they made new friends. I went to a small private school, though, so I was around the same 25 kids for 11 years. I tried to change myself to fit in with others and get my older friends back. I changed the music I listened to, I became interested in different hobbies, all that kind of stuff, but it didn't really work. I didn't have any close friends and I was generally unhappy.
Now, I was a huge Star Wars fan as a kid. Like, obsessive. I had seen all of the original movies 400 times each by the time I was 6. The premiers of Episodes I and II reinvigorated my passion for the franchise. Slowly, though, over the years, I watched the movies less, played with the toys less, played less of the video games, thought about it less...that is, until 2004.
While I was having my identity crisis, Star Wars came back into my life. That first teaser trailer still gives me chills when I watch it. I had the DVDs with the Clone Wars animated show and they had this trailer on them. I must have watched it a hundred times. As the year progressed and the premier became closer and closer, I only became more obsessed. I would watch VidDocs on the Star Wars website on the making of the movie, I would doodle pictures of Darth Vader, I would listen to the Star Wars soundtracks...I even bought the Episode III audiobook when it came out prior to the movie and listened to the whole thing multiple times. I loved it. I couldn't wait for the movie. On May 18th, 2005 I went to the movie theater with my dad, brother, and my dad's best friend for the midnight premier. I was in costume as Darth Vader. The atmosphere was electric. Everyone was excited. I had a lot of fun that night and I would go on to see the movie in theaters 5 or 6 more times.
I wouldn't say the actual 2 and a half hours of film helped me, but everything about it and surrounding it reintroduced me to who I was. I embraced the geek in me and made it core to my personality. I would talk openly about it, made new friends who were also obsessed with Star Wars, and it made me genuinely happy. The movie helped me realize that it's more important to be myself and love who I was than to be concerned about how others might view me and if they might not like my actions or interests. I would say the movie was important in making me the person I am today. So much of my personality is based around the ideals I formed during the build up to that movie. Many of the friends I made afterwards are still my friends now. While I am not always obsessed with Star Wars (it doesn't take up my everything thought and action), there is always something I am passionate about. Some interest or hobby that gives me something to invest myself in. Now that a new Star Wars movie is coming out again, that same fire in my chest has returned and I cannot absorb enough about it.
If you are going through a rough time, find something you are passionate in. Find something you love and give yourself over to it. Whether it is a person, a TV show, a sport, a game, a hobby...embrace it. At the very least, it helps distract you from the unfortunate realities of life. Watching all 9 seasons of a show I just discovered really helps keep me from dwelling on the negatives.
Sorry not too many people took your post seriously, but I hope you see this and it helps a little.

My best friend/roommate gave me season 1-3 of how I met your mother as a gift right after I had broken up with my girlfriend. I was in no mood to watch tv but I watched the first couple of episodes to humour him. Then I binge watched every season and decided I wanted to go out and talk to girls like Barney and Ted. That show single handedly helped me get out of my deep depression and get myself back out there.

This is going to sound super weird but anyway. I was going through a patch where my business was failing due to outside interference and partnership differences. Basically I had no idea where I was going to get money from. My body and mind went into paralysis effectively where I could barely walk or sleep.
For some really fucked up reason, watching Percy Jackson and The Lightning Thief comforted me. I don't know why but if was the only time that the feelings of utter dread and despair would part temporarily.
I know it's a really shit movie but it holds a special place in my heart because of the above.

I was going through somewhat of the same existential crisis I had been for many years and was getting sick of feeling helpless, ineffectual and insignificant when I saw Tarkovsky's Stalker and suddenly felt a connection to someone else who had struggled with the same issues but managed to put them into perspective. Straight afterwards I watched his Solaris (not the Soderbergh version) and also found it comforting in its bleak but honest view of relationships. But it wasn't until I saw Paul Blart: Mall Cop that I was really able to put my thoughts all together and comprehend what Tarkovsky was getting at.

After the lottery results came in my wife left me for my boss (who happens to own that movie), she took our dog and two cats. The judge said that I needed to pay maximum alimony and now my wages are being garnished. Out of all those, the one thing that has me in tears is that I never got to see Paul Blart Mall Cop...

Did you know that if you watch Paul Blart Mall Cop backwards your wife leaves you, you are investigated by the IRS, your life turns to crap and then you get cancer and die?

I got this. I actually died a few years back and went to heaven. Being a guardian angel and all, I was just doing my duties and looking over the human that I was responsible for. It just so happened that she decided to go to a movie. I didn't pay attention to what movie she chose to see because I was too busy flirting with the other angels in the theater. Finally, the movie started. It was Paul Blart: Mall cop. It literally brought me back to life. I owe my life to Kevin James and his mustache now.
TL;DR Paul Blart brought me back to life

Oh no hope I'm not too late. Anyway I would say Spider Man 2 was a movie the movie that helped me deal with the stress of moving far away from all of my friends. My depression would still linger though until finally Paul Blart: Mall Cop came out and took all that sadness away.

We just finished filming Paul Blart Mall Cop 3: Mall of the Worlds. I know this film is gonna to be a disaster. We just barely made the kickstarter fund, and Kevin James yells at me, the director, for wasting his time. Half the crew called it quits and I have to play the other roles along with Paul Blart. I was close to ending my life. Then I remembered I had Paul Blart 1&2 (studio version) on my iPad and it changed my life forever. I am working with a god and I am his director. Now my life has turned around and landed a directing job for Star Wars X: Unleash the Force.

My girlfriend of two years left me for another guy. I felt like i had hit rock bottom. I began seeing the two of them everywhere, kissing and cuddling and jt just broke my heart. I couldn't bring myself to go out anymore. I just sat inside all day watching tv and drinking. Then one day Paul Blart: Mall Cop came on. As soon as it started i was engrossed in this masterpiece. Kevin James gave ne the courage to go out and live again. Thanks to Paul Blart: Mall Cop i now have a beautiful Brazilian girlfriend and wonderful friends

I just had my heart torn out by my ex on my birthday. I came home from work and my roommate had just bought super troopers. He said it would cheer me up but I wasn't in the mood. As I didn't want to be alone I sat there with him as he popped it in the ps2. I tried hard not to laugh and stay miserable but the opening scene had me laughing and I didn't stop until it was over.

I have been going through a rough time for a while now...every year for the last 5 years ive lost one of my beloved dogs that ive had my entire conscious childhood and about 3 years ago (unbelievable to think its been that long) i lost one of my best friends to a freak accident. To top it all off my uncle is terminally ill and i have a lot if anxiety worrying about him passing away. Truly so much sorrow in life sometimes i wonder if it will ever end! Will i ever be happy like i was? Well the other day im bored and feeling a little depressed, i decided to go catch a movie and see if it'd cheer me up. Bought a ticket to monkey kingdom because the commercials on tv looked very uplifting and i knew the proceeds went to help preserve animal habitats and protect endangered species. The 10 min of previews roll by, i got my popcorn and dr pepper, ready to enjoy myself for once and bam, Mother fucking paul blart: mall cop 2 starts playing (i went into the wrong theater). At this point i was so fed up and irritated with myself that i couldnt even find the right theater(how stupid i am) i just wanted to go home and cry, but instead i stayed and the film legitimately turned my life around. It was a comedic masterpiece that only kevin james could imagine. I was transported to my childhood without a care in the world.

I actually just quit my job recently to pursue my dream of becoming a mall cop. The training is tough and the pay isn't great, but a little film that was released in 2009 has and continues to inspire me. Night after night I watch this film and I know that the hard work and training to become a mall cop is worth it. The main character in that film is my hero and I hope to one day show as much enthusiasm toward being a mall cop as he does. Plus Seth Rogen is really funny.

I was always bullied in school for being gay. It was the hardest time in my life. One day, I couldn't take it anymore. I was set on suicide. I went into the garage while my parents weren't home. I turned the car on and was about to close the garage door when I got a text from my best friend: "Yo, check out Paul Blart. Best movie ever." I decided to give it one more shot.
Best decision I ever made. Kevin James cheered me out of a depression which would have killed me. As for my friend, I married him and we adopted three children and we have a fantastic relationship. However, we both agree that if we had the chance, we'd marry Kevin James and his beautiful mustachioed face.

Every morning I wake up and double palm slam a vhs into the slot. Its Paul Blart. And right then and there I start riding my segway alongside the main character. Paul Blart. I do every move and I do every move hard, making vrmming sounds while I slam some mall thief bastards or even when I mess up technique. Not many can say they defended a mall all on their own. I can. I say it and I say it out loud to people in my college class. And all they do is prove people in college can be immature jerks. And I've learned all the lines and I've learned how to make myself in my apartment less lonely by shouting them all two hours including wind down every morning. Then I lift.

A few years ago I was struggling to come to terms with the possibility that God does not exist. It was really one of the lowest periods of my life, and had me questioning everything about my existence. Talking to a close friend about my problem, he handed me a copy of his Paul Blart DVD and said it would answer all my questions. That day I watched it, and then re-watched it for forty days and forty nights, and it was during this period that I discovered God does exist, and his name is Kevin James. Delving into his sacred works only confirmed this belief. His benevolent care for the elderly in King of Queens, the ability to communicate and befriend animals in Zookeeper, how this 'man' can bang 10s even though hes a hard 4 in every single piece of majestic art he is in cements his divinity. Even what he does in his personal life reflects this. Him telling service workers not to look at him only shows him trying to protect mortals from looking their savior in the eyes. However, Paul Blart, his New Testament to man, reveals his love for American consumer (the chosen people). Showing the omnipresent and omnipotent Kevin James preventing his flock from committing sin in a way for the entire family to love.
Chuck and Larry only exists to test our faith.

It's hard... because my dream was always to do Parkour. I love the idea of free running, moving around uninhibited, leaping from building to building, perhaps from the second floor of someplace onto a decorative carousel, up to another walkway. But alas, I am too out of shape, I sometimes think. I have a little bit of a gut I haven't been able to kick yet, a little arthritis. How can a guy like me enjoy parkour? Well it turns out the answer is Paul Blart Mall Cop. It shows me not only sick Parkour, but that fat guys CAN succeed.

Hi found Paul Bart mall cop to be an inspiring film. It really helped when my pet lama ran away from home. I was so upset but seeing that chubby hero on a seg way inspired me to get one of my own, which I used to hunt down my llama which it turned out had run away to the nearest mall

Drinking Buddies helped me through a break up. The movie was so real and seemed to be authentic. That helped me stay level, until I saw Paul Blart Mall Cop. Nothing compares to that movie. The camera angles and cinematic appeal are out of this world. Not only did it cheer me up, but it also helped me realize my ambitions and I finally got up the nerve to ask my current girlfriend out. If Paul Blart can save the mall, I knew that I could ask her out. I've never been happier.

I had a pretty rough childhood, but I always held out hope that something better would come one day. No Ms. Honey ever came to rescue me from that hole, but that movie taught me that sometimes a hero will come and help make a person's life better -- and when you have an opportunity to be that hero, you take it.

I was on the brink of taking my own life. I called a suicide hotline and they convinced me to purchase Paul Blart: Mall Cop. They said this is the number one antidepressant in the country atm, and they are seeing great results in field studies. I obliged and I have never looked back. My life has completely changed for the better. I get up to around 6 hours of Blart in me a day. I'm working my way down to just 3, which is the average script dosage. I'm feeling confident and emotionally able in every aspect of life.

This will get buried but hopefully somebody reads it and it can help shape their life. I was at a very dark time, drugs, booze, unsolicited sexual encounters and domestic abuse were basically a daily occurence. My friends and loved ones had basically give up on me and lost all hope. I was living on the streets, eating out of dumpsters and had one foot in the grave. Then i was thrown a lifeline. Like a life jacket on a sinking boat, the clouds parted and heaven sang to me. I was shown Paul Blart Mall Cop and my whole life changed. Ive been working on mending those broken relationships from the past and i am thoroughly convinced that Pual Blart 2 will be the glue that brings it together.

Paul Blart Mall Cop got me out of depression. It all started when I went to the movies at my local mall to see it. Paul Blart himself then sat down next to me in the theater and whispered into my ear, "Nobody knows this mall better than I do."
He grabbed my hand and we ran towards the screen, but we didn't hit anything. We landed in the Mall Cop locker room. Paul then said to me: "Safety never takes a holiday."
Paul vanished in a blink of an eye. All he left with me was a badge.. a Mall Cop badge.
To this day I am still a mall cop, fighting for the safety of the public.

Silver linings playbook. The movie has an odd tone and is a little random at times, almost like a stream of consciousness, but it did a great job of capturing the mindset of mental illness. I suffer from depression and the movie made me feel less alone, like "Yes, someone actually gets it".

Screw it. I'll take the down votes, reddit.
When my mompa and dadma got hit by a bus , my great uncle D-Money took me to see Paul Blart: Mall Cop in theaters. It made me so happy I couldn't contain myself. I forgot all about my mompa and dadma. I didn't need them. I had Paul Blart.
He was my father. I watched him at night as he stealthily saved the day, and he sent me off to school with his quirky jokes and diologue. He was recently at my wedding, toasting me and my wife a great deal of funny antics and even passing out because the lack of sugar.
Thank you, Paul Blart.

I had to pick a film that defined an entire culture, the "lowest common denominator" culture as you hear them referred to. The people of Wal-Mart. West Virginians. You name it, they've been labeled it. Well I struggled for some time before a portly mall cop danced a jig into my life with much enthusiasm. His name was Paul Blart, and his film allowed me to instantly filter out girls I have no interest in on dating sites.

The Way Way Back. I had lost two of my best friends because they broke up (long story) and I felt very alone. The awkward shy kid made me laugh so hard and I really needed that. Instead of crazy movie plots with ridiculous characters, the movie felt very real to me with something a real person would actually go through. It was very cathartic. I highly recommend it. That and "Another Year" was very good. It's along the same genre.

Hedwig And the Angry Inch. First time I went to rehab, when I got home, all I did was watch movies. It's like I had to numb my mind with films all day long so I wouldn't think.
Then I rented Hedwig (back in the Blockbuster video days) and it just cheered me up. It made me genuinely happy for the first time since getting sober. It was a story about hope and change and starting over while being the person you truly are meant to be. I watched it over and over till I had to return it and every time I felt blue I listened to the soundtrack.
It's still my favorite movie to this day.

I was going through a pretty bad breakup at the time and I started that phase where you feel bad enough to wish the relationship never happened. I watched Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind. Called her up and apologized for my actions and wished her the best, even though we didn't work out as a couple. That movie really changed my perspective on relationships.

I was in the same place as you. Felt down on life... Was just you know... Scrolling through the guide on my tv trying to find something meaningful to watch. Then suddenly my door burst open like a movie scene. It was crazy the door seemed to just vaporize at the sheer force the Segway burst through the door with. There he was my savior my white knight. It was Paul. Clutching a dvd in one hand and slapping the remote out of my hands he then put a movie into my DVD player. Paul Blart Mall Cop began to play and with a whoosh the Segway was gone and my life was forever changed. I was able to go back to work thank goodness after my spirits where lifted. This was good because my land lord said the cost to repair my door was about Tree Fiddy.

I fear they may all be dead and I've been pacing the floor going out of my mind waiting to hear some word - any word, good or bad - from the search and rescue teams. This is the worst time of my life. Thank God Paul Blart, Mall Cop is available on iTunes. I just started watching it and I'm already starting to perk up. I'm going to pop some popcorn and put on my comfy PJs. As for my dog, wife, and kids (in order of priority) who may be either dead or greviously maimed and freezing to death on the most inhospitable place on earth, well, let's face it: they're no Kevin James.

I know this entire thread is a circlejerk about what people seem to think is a really stupid movie, but seriously, Paul Blart: Mall Cop has helped me through some of the darkest times in my life and is a epic, edge-of-your-seat thriller. 10/10, would recommend.

A movie can absolutely help someone. Film is art and art speaks to the soul.

I was feeling pretty down in the dumps last week so I watched The Station Agent, but that didn't help out at all so I ended up watching this cult classic called Paul Blart Mall Cop. And let me tell you something it changed my life. :)

Swingers has helped me through a bad breakup in the past. I didn't really like the movie when I first saw it, but it had more to do with everyone telling me how I had to watch it than the quality of the movie itself.
Subsequent rewatches after a particularly bad breakup really hit home about the message and I'm glad I gave it another chance.
That and Paul Blart: Mall Cop kept me from commiting suicide.

I'm actually going to be serious here because I know the actual weight of having a film having significance in someones life such as myself. But yeah, so my film is Paul Blart: Mall Cop it meant so much to me and I'm dying to see the second one.

I was going to kill myself, until I realized I was in a situation that was not nearly as bad as the director of Paul Blart, Mall Cop. I realized "jesus christ, what would it say if I ended it all while idiots like this guy are still allowed to make terrible fucking movies?" This guy makes Michael Bay films look like Citizen Kane, if anyone should want to kill themselves, it's this director and this fucking actor. Holy shit, if I was Steve Carr's mother I would slit my wrists.
Thank you Steve Carr, and Kevin James! If not for you being so dreadfully terrible, I might not have the drive to keep on living.

On one hand, I hate that this thread exists. Was looking forward to actual good movies. But on the other, now I know that to get over any issues I may have I just need to watch Paul Blart Mall Cop.

I watched Paul Blart Mall Cop and felt really down and disappointed afterwards, so I watched Paul Blart Mall Cop in IMAX and it really helped me through my slump. Highly recommend it!

Everyone I knew died and I got really depressed, then I watched Paul Blart: Mall Cop.
It got me back up to my feet and I gained confidence and became a mall cop and changed my name to Paul Blart.
