Some nights you do not want to be challenged, you want to be lifted. Feel-good does not mean shallow; the best of it earns its warmth. These short films are hand-picked, complete, and free to watch. Easy to start, hard to regret, and over before the mood can fade.
For an instant lift, Things I've Made My Roommate Do parks its hero firmly in the friend zone again, and The Lost Weekend pushes a freshly single Charlie into the strange new world of online dating. Annie Waits turns one woman's long wait for the right person into something tender and funny, while Squeeze puts a wrestling coach and an autistic student in the same hopeful corner.
The best feel-good short films leave you a little lighter than they found you. Tiny, Texas follows a basketball prodigy up against the weight of everyone's expectations, and Only The Lonely sits with an old woman finding her way after losing the love of her life. Every film here was chosen by our editors and streams free in all 193 countries, with no subscription. Press play and let it be easy.
