I found a very interesting list of movies last week. They aren't all one genre or all one director....the common ground with this list is the movies are all about the elderly or the process of aging. I have only personally watched a few on the list - but I think I will make a point of seeing a few more. I have one favorite of the few I've seen.....Mrs. Palfrey at the Claremont is a treat and a joy to watch.
I obtained this list from another blog - a NY Times blog called the New Old Age by Jane Gross. The link is at the bottom of the blog....check it out.
