Films for the mammy... (3 Viewers)

[pissypants]

Trying to collect a bunch of films for my mother. Nothing to challenging, just the usual non-offensive drama with perhaps a little romance thrown in. You know the sort of thing; The Notebook, Like Water for Elephants, The Kings Speech, blah blah blah.

Any thoughts thumpters?

 

[7 - No tomorrow]

Out Of Africa
The Way We Were
Rear Window
Amelie
That Marigold Hotel one
Untouchable - the French one


Why inoffensive?

 

[Squiggle]

On Golden Pond
Spellbound - the Hitchcock one
Vertigo
Indiscreet
O Horton

What kind of things does she like?

 

[pissypants]

Yeah, was just thinking of my ma, rather than every ma in general. She likes the cosy ones and is turned off by "difficult" themes or excessive violence, swearing or gang bangs and the like.

Cheers for the suggestions though!

The Kings Speech

My mother is old school, definitely not into swearing. We watched this - the king starts going "FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK" for ages

"Do you want me to fast forward?"I said

"Yes, please," she said.

What about uplifting shit like Diving Bell & Butterfly or The Sea Inside?

Silly caper films with movie stars? Ocean's 11?
