Something like "cheery"/ "happy" type movies. Something as a detraction?

I tend to watch dark comedies or something "bittersweet." Trying to counter my mood with something overtly cheery doesn't do much for me, with a few exceptions. Usually the same thing with music as well, I tend to listen to somewhat melancholy songs when I'm feeling down. I guess it's because I'd rather feel like I can relate to the mood rather than try to force my own mood to change to match what I'm watching or listening to.

I am not a fan of watching films twice - I usually plays certain albums when I am sad

Recently I've been depressed about losing my job, so I turned on the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. I watched all three live action movies from when I was a kid.

1 and 2 were awesome. 3 was terrible, but as bad as it was, it still cheered me up a bit.

I wish I could go back to the carefree days of my childhood, and not have to worry about this adult sh*t.

Usually anything I grew up watching when I was a kid. Good times.

Anything by the Coen Brothers, Hitchcock, film noire - I can get lost in any of those movies and that distracts me from my mood.

What's weird is I watch Hunger Games when I'm sad. It's like it gives me a chance to cry (over Rue), a chance to get even with the bullies in the world, and a chance to relive survival on the streets. I'm not sure why I watch it over and over. It just makes me feel better somehow.
