The world is an unpredictable place. As hard as we try to be safe and protected, as humans we are constantly at risk of disaster.  Not to say we should all walk around nervous wrecks, but the uncertainty of the world is overwhelming and can sometimes leave us feeling helpless.

In light of the recent Boston bombings, I think a lot of us can use some cheering up. Here is a list of the top 20 movies to restore our faith in humanity and remind us that there are amazing people in this world.

20. August Rush

19. Toy Story 3

18. Little Miss Sunshine

17. Shrek

16. Rain Man

15. The Lorax
