Of course the two biggies in that world these days are A24 and NEON but they tend to be edgier. The Trip to Italy (and the others in that series)Įdit - look at some of the more “indie” distributors, like Sony Classics, Entertainment One, Filmrise, Bleecker Street, Focus Features, IFC, Magnolia, Searchlight to find these.The 100-Year-Old Man Who Climbed Out the Window and Disappeared.I don't just love that movie, I loved the impact that movie had on so many customers - especially given how rare it was and given how much it was overlooked.Īside from classics from when they were young, I used to work at a small cinema and we had a lot of seniors’ homes come in during the day for screenings, so I learned that there are actually a lot of new, smaller releases (often focused on older characters, which is nice) that fit this bill!įrom that period since I have a list of every movie we showed back then (but there are ones like this each year): Like the old guys and kids and parents and cousins and everyone just instantly bonded over Secondhand Lions and how it impacted all of them the same but differently. Everyone loved it."Īt least one had one guy had one of those family lifetime memory reactions "No, you don't understand. Then about a week later (not all families, but it was a definitely thing), and they'd come back to personally return the movie. Immediately they all pulled a "You had my curiosity, but now you have my attention" reaction to those two. Usually the older guys would check out during my description of it as it was a "family movie" until I said the magic names: Robert Duvall and Michael Caine. I worked in a video store when this movie came out.Įvery big family holiday, we'd get people in wanting a movie to watch with their extended family. Time is fleeting, watch a movie with them while you can!Īnd here’s a picture of Nono the beagle and Frank the asshole who happens to be a cat. She will be very appreciative! Also, treasure your mamaws and papaws and grandmas and grandpas and grannies and moms and dads and…I guess just appreciate everyone you love. I’m excited to go over the list with mamaw and see what she wants to show. Then I’ll be ordering the ones she thinks sound good! I’m looking forward to all of your thoughts!!Įdit: just wanted to thank everyone for all of the recommendations! So many movies…some I had forgotten about and a ton I’m not familiar with. So, with those very loose guidelines in mind, any recommendations? All are greatly appreciated and will be put in to a list for her to choose from. She has to have them on dvd so they have to be titles I can find online and ship to her. I’d like to stay away from anything too dark or depressing. I think last week was Kramer vs Kramer and an older movie I wasn’t familiar with. I got her to watch Joe Vs The Volcano and she’s showing that this weekend along with the Pursuit of Happyness. Over the years I’ve tried to keep my rec’s to more uplifting or funny or endearing titles. She unfortunately hasn’t kept a list of everything she’s shown but she’s running low on ideas. They tend to not like things with nudity or a lot of sexual references or lewd humor or a lot of cursing. The audience is, as you might have guessed, an older crowd. She usually has around 25 people, typically mostly female, who come to the showings. When she moved there 5 years ago she saw that weekend afternoons didn’t have anything going on so she started showing a movie on Saturday and Sunday afternoons. So my Mamaw is 98 (turning 99 at the end of this month) and she lives in an assisted living facility in North Carolina.
