I'm not entirely certain what would be considered uplifting, but I think D&D: Honor Among Thieves would fit alongside some of the movies in that list.
Beyond that, going down my list of movies I've rated on IMDb:
Fly Me to the Moon, maybe? Honestly, I don't remember it all that well.
Bullet Train is probably a stretch, but it does more for me than a lot of things on that list. shrug
Top Gun: Maverick. I've been meaning to watch this one again at some point. Perhaps not really uplifting on its own, but it was certainly uplifting for me in how it bucked certain movie trends of the time and was really solid.
Everything Everywhere All at Once
The Batman. It's a fairly somber, morose film, and at three hours long it's a bit of slog, but hey, the climax is the Dark Knight learning to be a beacon of hope for the downtrodden. I debated whether or not to even mention this one, but then I saw that list includes The Force Awakens... so... at that point, I'd say pretty much anything is fair game. And with that, I'm not going to bother searching for more.
Thank you, I agree with D&D and EEAAO, definitely good movies!
