Hi Wendy, here are some movies that in my experience were

very welcomed when shown to residents.

You may borrow them from your local library or buy them online.

Residents may also enjoy music DVDs by Nana Mouskouri, Richard

Clayderman, Roy Orbison, The Seekers, Andre Rieu.

Singing in the Rain

Seven Brides for Seven Brothers

Some Like it Hot

The Sound of Music

The Pajama Game

Honeymoon on Wheels

My Fair lady

Kiss me Kate

Easter parade

The Court Jester

The Wizard of Oz

Dumb and Dumber

It's a Wonderful Life

The Glen Miller Story

Travel movies are great also - you can go to the Travel Agents and borrow some or the Library, also shops like Cheap as Chips/Dick Smith often have good DVD's - call it ARMCHAIR TRAVEL

To Wendy

I find Musical movies with Doris Day or Fred Astaire are favourites. Great old songs to evoke memories
