I'd like to see the movie "Poms." It sounds good.

We don't have any premium cable channels, Netflix, or anything like that. All we can see is what's shown on our local TV channels (which isn't much.) One movie I would like to have seen was "Mr. Holmes". It was apparently about Sherlock Holmes as an old man looking back on his most difficult cases.

The best exotic marigold hotel and its follow up movie are great too. Has a great cast with Judith Dench and some others I've forgotten. And there's the older movie The Calendar girls. More of a mid-life crisis movie is Sirley Valentine. The British do older folks well. Oh, there's Cocoon, that's an oldie but goodie. That's an American one. Pons does look good, I gotta wait for the DVD with captions tho.

I don't recall anything about it; but many years ago now there was a Hallmark Hall of Fame TV movie titled: "To Dance with the White Dog". It starred Hume Cronyn and Jessica Tandy (who were, in real life, a couple.) I just recall that we thought it was a wonderful movie.

I like many other movies, too, other than those about older people. I'm looking forward to the sci-fi movies coming out at some point---like another Star Wars one.
What are you looking forward to? Of course, the senior movie discounts are great! One of our movie theaters has chairs that lean back like a recliner. That's so nice. |

I haven't seen most of the Star Wars movies. But I can still recall seeing the original one. It was unlike anything we had ever seen. It just blew us away! (Help me Obi-Wan Kenobi...) I have no idea what's coming down the pike in terms of new movies. __________________ "I may be older but I am not wise / I'm still a child's grown-up disguise / and I never can tell you what you want to know / You will find out as you go."

i could prolly count the number of times i have been in a movie theater. the first time was to see "The Birds", a Hitchcock film that scared the carp out of me~! then a James Bond movie (woulda been about 1965) Goldfinger , i think.
But my favorite theater experience was Fantasia~ the new one, Fantasia 2000 is almost as good. i highly recommend it for a soothing evening of music and fantasy. __________________ AWAKEN~! |

This probably doesn't count as a movie for seniors (except that I want to see it & I'm a senior)… but one movie I'd like to see (but probably never will) is Oliver Stone's movie: "Heaven and Earth". I don't know if it's really even a movie I'd care that much about. But I have the audio CD of the music soundtrack by Kitaro (for which he won a Golden Globe award) & I love it. I'd like to see the movie just so I could put the soundtrack into perspective.
I also have Kitaro's soundtrack to the movie: "The Soong Sisters". I did have a chance to watch a subtitled version of that movie on YouTube before it was taken down (so that YouTube could try to force you to pay them to see it presumably.) I love that soundtrack as well. __________________ "I may be older but I am not wise / I'm still a child's grown-up disguise / and I never can tell you what you want to know / You will find out as you go."

My husband and I are not seniors but we act like it. One of our favorite movies that we watch once a year in the summer is "on golden pond". It stars Henry Fonda, Jane Fonda, Katherine Hepburn and some others. You'll love it.

i just watched a 'relatively' new movie, with Sam Elliot, called "Hero" (on Hulu). it's a 'mature subject matter' movie, because it deals with him facing his mortality. but really, very good, and gee... i mean, Sam Elliot~~~ Enjoy!!

Nicholas Sparks' "The Notebook" and The Bucket List" and even "Failure to :Launch"
What's that Ron Howard movie about people in a mature-living place and aliens or some such? And the movie about older men who go into space? |

The last movies I saw in theatres were one of the Mission Impossible movies and "Mr Holmes." I saw them in different theatres on the same beach trip, 4 summers ago. |
