Films for my 85yr old Grandma?

[scrappydappydoo]

Yeah I know its early but I have to xmas shopping early otherwise I get stressy and run out of money...
So we just brought my Gran a dvd player and shes managed to get to grips with using it so I thinking I'd get her a few dvds to watch and was after some ideas?
Think inoffensive sunday evening drama type stuff - want to get films rather than tv box sets.....

Hmmm. Is she into classic movies?

Well if she is then I recommend The King and I with Deborah Kerr. It's a musical tho, not sure if she'll like that, but I find it a really nice movie to watch.

Not necessarily just classic movies but yes I would have thought king and I would be good (adds to list) Thanks :)

How about -

Casablanca
It's a Wonderful Life
Driving Miss daisy
Brief Encounter (1945)
Gone with the Wind
Bringing up baby
12 Angry Men
Sunset Blvd
Singing in the rain
Some like it hot
Forrest gump
Titanic
Rear Window
Lawrence of Arabia
The Shop around the corner
Sleepless in Seattle

HTH

if she likes musicals, amazon have a very good value box set for about seventeen quid, can't remember the name but it's got american in paris, annie get your gun, singing in the rain, seven brides, uuurm... gigi, calamity jane and high society in it. all lovely fillums in mine and dd1's opinion.

Try here - lots of discounted old films and boxed sets. Or the BBC shop?

PS: my mum is a similar age, and her favourite film is Mrs Miniver.
