Movies about growing old
Second chances, old friends and a life that did not stop at retirement.
Films where the main characters are past sixty and life is still very much happening: late love, unlikely friendships, a breakout from the care home or one last great trip. These are stories not about fading away but about how it is never too late to change. A good pick to watch with parents or grandparents.
