Tea with Mussolini

Another fantastic World War II based film with an incredible cast;
Cher, Maggie Smith, Joan Plowright, Judi Dench, Lily Tomlin, and
more.

A more sedate --yet still disturbing--take on the war, from the
more upscale, feminine side of things.

Equal parts chick flick and fantasy, it's still an engaging and
heartening film about friendship and life.

Mrs. Palfrey at the Claremont

This is one of those incredibly well done feel-good movies
that is sweet, charming, and poignant without ever having
to resort to any of the modern tricks of sensationalism.

Joan Plowright and Rupert Friend lead a wonderful ensemble
in this exploration of relationships and life among a mostly
ignored movie focus group; older people. It's smart and
funny and unflinching.

A great character study and slice-of-life film for any age.
