CRAIG'S 100 CHEERS (100-21)

After a week's break I am back to make my latest Top 100 list though this will be my last one due to a combination of being on holiday next week and my plans to make several Top 10 lists based on various genres. This is one of my favourite lists simply because of the reason why these films are on it. To inspire and raise cheers. Through dark times that I've gone through, I've always needed an uplifting film to cheer me up when the chips are down, and these films have definitely proved why that's the case. So I present to you all, the 100 to 21 list of my Top 100 Cheerful Films....
