Favorite Movies With Elderly Character as Lead?
Preferably a movie between the 1930-70s. Preferably with an elderly woman as the focus. I saw one today and thought this could be a way to find some good stories, since old people aren't going to attract a certain audience - maybe the writing has to be really good, or a damn good story to make it worth making.

One that mark f recommended me in my "rec me melodramas" thread:
Mrs Palfrey at the Claremont (I watched the 2005 version and loved it, but there's also a 1973 version I haven't seen). And one Kurosawa had in his top 100: The Trip to Bountiful And one I doubt you'll be able to find anywhere, but it's a total masterpiece: Két elhatározás [A Quite Ordinary Life]. |

Not my favorite, but The Whisperers is an overlooked one.

Re: Favorite Movies With Elderly Character as Lead?
Oh, Make Way for Tomorrow would be close to a favorite.

Mother (1996) stars Debbie Reynolds and Albert Brooks.
"the protective ice" :laugh: |
Dead Man's Letters for me.
Make Way for Tomorrow is a close second pick though. |

I'll second that...and I'll guess that it might be something Matt might like too.
So I go to watch this movie and immediately it hits me, "I saw this".. And I look on IMDB, and I gave it an 8/10, so I definitely loved this movie. Unfortunately, it's been years since I've seen it, but would definitely love movies like those. I'll try to find the others listed. Thanks! |

Why men are not allowed? Because of probability and my preference based on decades of observations. I watch every movie like it's my last. |
