DVD suggestions for Mom

[drgnfly30]

I posted a thread the other day asking for gift ideas for my mom.... while I appreciate the input apparently my Mom wants DVD's... no particular ones, just movies she's never seen, which covers just about any movie in the last four years.. I was thinking about movies like Somethings Got to Give... any other suggestions... Mom is 68, conservative, no gratuitous S E X please!

My Grandmother is just a few years older and loves movies. Some of her recent favorite acquisitions are: Love Actually, Under the Tuscan Sun, 13 going on 30, Saving Grace (probably not good for a Conservative Mom but it is really funny), My big fat Greek Wedding, Secondhand Lions, and for Christmas she's getting the new dvd release of her favorite movie- Sound of Music

I would rule out Somethings Got to Give then. The whole plot revolves around casual sex and the movie has a great deal of graphic sex language and nudity.

How about...

The English Patient
Cold Mountain
Shakespeare in Love
Cinderella Man (came out today)

If you know a couple actors/actresses she likes you can use this site to search for movies. Its' pretty safe to assume most movies made int he last few years are on DVD.
