The Most Charming Film You've Ever Seen?

Babe (1995)

Great idea for a thread, OP!

Possibly The Artist.

The Red Balloon (1956)

Mary Poppins

Bullets Over Broadway

Singin' in the Rain

The Enchanted April

A Room with a View

The Sound of Music

Funny Face

The King and I

Father of the Bride

The Umbrellas of Cherbourg

Funny face is very charming.

I don't really know how OP would define charming, but I'll say Paddington.

The Irish movie Sing Street was cute. The lead kid and his buddy were very likable.

Hunt for the Wilderpeople

The Station Agent. Perfect role for Peter Dinklage and Bobby Cannavale.

Big.

The Birdcage

Clueless

The Fantastic Mr. Fox

Elf

A Private Function (1984)

Michael Palin, Denholm Elliott, Richard Griffiths, Liz Smith, Pete Postlethwaite, Jim Carter, Bill Paterson, and Maggie Smith

Elf?

Mrs. Harris Goes to Paris

Trick . Something about it just touched me .

The Princess Bride, of course!

Being There

Anything with Audrey Hepburn

Finding Nemo

That Man from Rio

My Neighbor Totoro

Booksmart (2019)

I know DL hates Olivia Wilde and Beanie Fieldstein but I found the two main characters super charming.

Amelie

Waking Ned Devine was delightful

You're mentioned several films I agree are Charming: Babe, Trick (I agree it is charming-something sweet about it.) A Room with a View.

I loved Mrs. Harris goes to Paris, Pride& Prejudice (with Keira Knightly), Chariots of Fire

A little romance, Gregory’s Girl

Fellini's "I Vitelloni" ".

R36 again, forgot La Boum

Mr. Holland's Opus

I second The Princess Bride. And A Charlie Brown Christmas.

The Shop Around the Corner.

Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow (just skip the second part)

Jacques Tati's "Playtime"

The Full Monty

Miss Pettigrew Lives For a Day

Bonus- hot Lee Pace

Another nominee: Cold Comfort Farm.

MR. MAYBUG: "Tell me, do you believe women have souls?"

FLORA POSTE: "I'm afraid I'm not very interested..."

I Know Where I’m Going! is really a delight.

La Cage aux Folles, The Lugin Defense, Drop Dead Fred

Salò, or the 120 Days of Sodom

Father of the Bride, the original with Spencer Tracy, not the Steve Martin remake.

Mon Oncle

Babette’s Feast

Marius et Jeannette.

To Be and To Have. It’s a documentary about a one room schoolhouse in rural France and the single teacher that teaches all the kids. I saw it over 20 years ago, but I remember being very charmed by it. A couple of the kids (aged 4-12) were real firecrackers.

the Apartment

Another good documentary was Mad Hot Ballroom, about NYC public school kids getting ready for a ballroom dancing competition. The kids were funny.

Breaking Away

Cinema Paradiso

Shawn the Sheep

Another vote for Enchanted April. Also, Field of Dreams.

The Gnome Mobile

Roman Holiday.

Straight: Before Sunset

Gay: Big Boys. Almost impossible to get a gay coming of age story just right, but this film is perfect.

Being Julia.

Two For the Road

Amelie

My Beautiful Launderette

The Ghost & Mrs Muir

Many of my choices have already been mentioned. A few more:

Pollyanna

Lady and the Tramp

A Matter of Life and Death (AKA Stairway to Heaven)

Bachelor Mother

Remember the Night

The Holly and the Ivy

Vacation From Marriage

A Knight's Tale

Wristcutters: A Love Story

FLOW

Amelie!

"Amélie"was not nearly as beloved in France as it was abroad. Critics found it twee and designed for international audiences. The director, Jean-Pierre Jeunet, bitterly responded that "French people only like films in which couples argue while doing the dishes"

Passport To Pimlico

Whisky Galore!

The Titfield Thunderbolt

Shelter (2007)

Dog Fight (with River Phoenix)

Rushmore

Call Me by Your Name

The Gods Must be Crazy

Up

Hobson’s Choice is a very charming old film.

The Boy Who could Fly

84 Charing Cross Road

Smiles of a Summer Night

The Fantastic Mr. Fox (which I know was mentioned earlier, but it needs to be repeated)

At Long Last Love (and I don't care that almost everyone hates it)

I’m so glad that “I Know Where I’m Going” has fans on Dl.

“The Station Agent” was so perfectly natural.

I want to second 73's pick of "Shelter" -- absolutely beautiful gay film that also made me cry.

I absolutely loved Amélie.

Such a cute, joyous film.

When I saw this thread title, I thought to myself, "Ugh! I'm not sure I would watch a movie I thought would be charming."

And I was right; I've only seen two of the movies in this thread, and I didn't even like The Birdcage.

I'll leave the "charming" movies to you appreciative gentlemen.

Chocolat is a good one

Radio Days

I'll never understand all the love for The Birdcage. Nathan Lane's performance was beyond caricature, Robin Williams' talents were wasted, and the entire movie was an unbelievable pile of failed comedic moments.

The only good thing about it was Hank Azaria in a thong.

The Grand Budapest Hotel

Mother, with Debbie Reynolds in her best performance.

Strictly Ballroom. Quirky characters, a sweet romance, amazing dancing.

Love it to this day.

Christmas in Connecticut

Au Revoir Les Enfants

Ladies in Black

The Corn is Green

Indochine

The Trip to Bountiful

Sounder

God's Own Country

*Batteries Not Included

Dawson’s 50 Load Weekend

Quality Street (1937)

R77, I love The Boy Who Could Fly.

The original 1959 “Gidget” with Sandra Dee, James Darren, Cliff Robertson and Arthur O’Connell. It was charming. There was nothing wacky or kooky about it like all of the remaining Gidget movies and Beach Party movies. I love the beach locations and cars and late 1950s Southern California feel. Sandra Dee wasn’t treacly sweet. James Darren and Cliff Robertson , Doug McClure etc were all tanned, sandy and handsome. The movie smells like clean beach towels and Coppertone. A charming Summer favorite.

[italic]One Hour With You[/italic]

The Color Purple

R2 Ugh. God, I hated that movie.

School of Rock

Troop Beverly Hills

Men in Black (Will Smith is persona non grata now, but he was charming as hell in this movie)

A Little Romance was. Olivier and Diane Lane.

"Charming? I spit on charming!"

Victor/Victoria.

^^^^I agree with that choice^^^^

Another vote for Le Fabuleux Destin d'Amélie Poulain.

Other notables for me would be Beautiful Thing and Under the Tuscan Sun.

Don't forget Patricia Clarkson, R18! She was superb in that film as well.

Beautiful Thing is one of the few gay-themed movies I actually liked.

The ending is particularly sweet.

Every movie produced by Hallmark.

The Awful Truth

Charade

Another vote for RADIO DAYS. It's like being wrapped in a warm blanket of nostalgia.

Babe is leading the likes followed by A Room with a View and The Enchanted April

Il Postino

Life is Beautiful

The Book Thief

I couldn't make up my mind.

Cocteau's Beauty and the Beast.

Another vote for Babe. I loved that movie.

Apartment for Peggy

R#100 Presto, Presto, Do your very besto! Don’t hang back like a shy little kid!”

Safety Not Guaranteed, an early Aubrey Plaza movie, is actually quite charming.

The Swan

Sabrina (The original)
