Last Xmas I got my Dad a cheapo DVD player and a selection of DVDs which came free with the newspapers. I just collected them up over a few months so he had a nice little stack of them to watch. He didn't mind that they were promotional ones and that way he got far more than what I'd normally be able to get for my money.

People Old And Young Seem To Like Things Like Mary Poppins, Chitty Chitty Bang Bang And The Sound Of Music.

Failing That How About A Box Set Of Whatever They Watch On Tv.

The t.v. "Pride and Prejudice" from about ten years ago.

"Moulin Rouge"

"The Sound of Music"

"Midsomer Murders"

"Heartbeat"

"Miss Marple" and "Poirot" mysteries

Lurleene

Calendar Girls?

Lavender Ladies?

Or how about a comedy series such as Vicar of Dibley?

Keep your eyes on hotukdeals, there's been a load of cheap DVDs listed on there recently.

Any big blockbusters are ususally a safe bet, or a lot of the animated films like Shrek or Madagascar etc.

Do not always assume that middle aged women like mushy films. My mum is in her 60s and my brotehrs often tend to buy her romance films, which she hates (she LOATHEd The Engtlish patient). She really loves sci-fi films (her favourite is The Fifth Element) and films like that.

See if you can get an idea of the TV shows she likes best and use that as a guide.

You could always try some of these:

The Queen
Cold Feet
21 Grams
Angela's Ashes
50 First Dates
28 Days Later
Breakfast at Tiffany's
It's a Wonderful Life
Far and Away
Forrest Gump
Pearl Harbour
My Best Friends Wedding
Father of the Bride
Pretty Woman
The Notebook
The Green Mile
The Shawshank Redemption
The Pursuit of Happyness
Walk the Line

Hope she finds something she likes!
Regards,

or get a few months gift membership to a dvd rental scheme like lovefilm or tesco?

I'm pretty sure she'd like Calender Girls, it's very funny.

A sub to Lovefilm or similar would be ideal, I'd have thought.
