For me it's 80's movies like The Breakfast Club, Ferris Bueller's Day Off and Back to the Future.

Signs, 12 minutes long. Does this count as a film?

Mulholland Drive.
It's good for learning to create elaborate schemes to place the blame on other people for own shortcomings, which always makes me feel better.

 Re: Best films when you feel down
Good comedies. Unfortunately, there aren't many good ones.
I like my comedies to be arbitrary and inane as fuck. I don't like "intelligent comedies" just like I don't like comedians who try to be professors rather than funny-men.

The Shawshank Redemption The Green Mile
Both of those stories are about accepting the bad in life and trying to turn it around.

l have watched these movies at least 6 times. lt's good and funny and touching (well, the ones with Sean Pegg are just damn funny).

 Re: Best films when you feel down
i often find sadder movies are best when i feel down. usually movies with themes of alienation, i guess. maybe it's just comforting to have something i can relate to at some level.
vive l'amour all about lily chou-chou two-lane blacktop kings of the road fallen angels yi yi the beekeeper
so pretty much just some of my favorite movies..

(ones in bold are my top favorites) - Real Genius - The Wonder Years (not a movie, but it's worth mentioning) - Revenge of the Nerds I-IV - Terminator II - Last Action Hero - Twins - Kindergarten Cop - Mallrats (watched this one a couple hours ago) - Clerks - Happy Gilmore - Billy Madison - Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure - Wayne's World - Coneheads - Tommy Boy - Black Sheep - National Lampoon's Vacation (basically anything with Chevy Chase) - Three Amigos - Sixteen Candles - Breakfast Club - Caddyshack - Groundhog Day - Ferris Bueller's Day Off - Fast and the Furious (yes, Fast and the Furious)

The Whammy Burger scene from Falling Down always cheers me up.

 Re: Best films when you feel down
That, is awesome. In my case, i think it would be: Fight Club The Phantom of the Opera (2004) A Clockwork Orange 2001: A Space Odyssey Black Swan The Wrestler (This is a bit off-topic, but how are the other Aronofsky films, pi and requiem for a dream?.)
