She's a very hard woman to please! I've rented her 79,372 movies (roughly ) and she's probably loved five or six of them - eg On Golden Pond Chocolat Amelie Babette's Feast My Life as a Dog She hates anything too 'drippy', but loves 'sweet' movies with a good story, maybe with a touch of romance. Violence and heart-breaking ends (eg Pay it Forward) are a complete no-no. Help?
This is a have it all kind of movie: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0292542/ Life is Beautiful: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0118799/ Le Placard: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0243493/ ________ iolite vaporizer review
Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home (The One With the Whales) Beethoven Beethoven's 2nd Babe An iffy movie, with no violence, lots of humor, and some romance.... Super Troopers. TEG
Hard to say without knowing your mother, but... Never met anyone that didn't thoroughly enjoy: Kind of a "feel-good" movie, but touching nonetheless: The story is a little rough on the squeamish (a little violence and some sensitive topics), but my mother loved:
Oldies but great The Philadelphia Story Bringing Up Baby Mildred Pierce She Wore a Yellow Ribbon Man I can drive my roommates up the wall sometimes with these old movies.
I was going to suggest that one too, but it's very sad at the end, thus breaking the OP's 'no heart-breaking endings' rule. I thought 'Music and Lyrics' was a good movie.
Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind. or maybe she's seen it already since you've rented over a million movies for her.
I second "Harold and Maude". Beautiful, touching, interesting and clever -- a classic. I also second "Life is Beautiful" - The Pillow Book (Peter Greenaway) - Memoirs of a Geisha
You people are legends, thank you! Okay, I'll have a look through that list.....surely there's one in there that she'll like?! But forgot to mention......she thinks Hugh Grant is a "drip".
La Vie En Rose is another good movie. EDIT: Big Fish is another kick ass movie, so I'm seconding BiTurboMunkie's recommendation of it.
