Anything released by Brazzers is bound to be a big hit.
Whats a good movie your wholesome Grandparents could watch?
Lots of my favourite films would be fine for grandparents ... if they were in English - Late Spring, 3-Iron, A Separation, Dolls, Still Walking, High and Low, etc.
I have only one grandparent still alive and she would happily watch Rear Window, Wuthering Heights, the Before ... series, One Flew Over the Cuckoos Nest, The Circus, Dog Day Afternoon, etc., and they are all films I love too.

I took my grandmother to the theater to see Pleasantville. During the mother's bathtub scene you could hear her throughout the theatre saying, "what's going on here". It was better to stick to the classics with grandma. I miss watching movies with her though.

Heres a few others...
The true story of two brothers, one severely handicapped, that travel cross country from San Diego to Pittsburgh to see Roberto Clementes 3000th hit.
This one is dark, very authentic, but there should be enough of a human interest element in there for Granny. One of those films where maybe a handful of actors were used, and the rest were locals. Kinda like the movie The Apostle in how they made it.
and of course theres Robert Duvalls The Apostle

I've found these (Brassed Off) types do well. Billy Elliot, The Full Monty, Made In Dagenham, etc.

A good remake of a classic Western.
My Grandad's fav movie was Lawrence of Arabia, now that film is pure class. So can't go wrong with that.
I'm trying to think of some others but so many of you have already mentioned the real classy classics. Damn this is tough, I will say, steer clear of Scarface.

I think the Saw franchise would be a nice place to start
In all seriousness, any of the older John Wayne westerns (particularly The Searchers because it's amazing), Casablanca, Gone With the Wind, Citizen Kane, the original Star Wars trilogy, any of the Indiana Jones films, some of the early Hitchcock films (the ones like Rear Window), and Back to the Future.
