'Clean' films? DVD movies suitable for our mother to watch.

By suitable, I mean something with no, or little, bad language, violence or 'nudey business' ;) !

Reminds me of my late mother. She would read Patricia Scanlon ( the earlier books) but not Maeve Binchy who had a bit too much sex in her books for her liking ( :p ).

Any film or tv programme with too much nudity/sex was quickly switched over.

What about Love Actually- can't remember if anyone actually does the dirty deed on it or not?

Didn't one couple meet on the set of a porn movie? Not sure you see very much but I don't know how against the whole sex thing she is!
 
This thread is starting to remind me of a classic Fr Ted episode 'down with this sort of thing' where they protest outside a blasphemous film and only succeed in drumming up business "is it a type of nudey thing father?" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gT9xuXQjxMM

Anyway, here is my 'mother-in-law' list (my own parents being more than happy to watch smut and/or mindless violence). Some of these are old but should be available cheaply on dvd.

Erin Brockovich
The Blind Side
Lost in Translation
My Fair Lady
Titanic
Ocean's Eleven
Wimbledon
To Kill a Mockingbird
Bridget Jones' Diary
Four Weddings and a Funeral
Gone with the Wind
Sense and Sensibility
Slumdog Millionaire
The Social Network
Up in the Air
The Bucket List
Catch Me if You Can
The Constant Gardener
The Fugitive
Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade
Love, Actually
Mamma Mia!
My Big Fat Greek Wedding
The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas
Elizabeth
Lord of the Rings Trilogy
The Notebook
The Devil wears Prada
Romancing the Stone

She might like "The Young Victoria"
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0962736/

A touching love story (and I am by no means a softie) set against the backdrop of Queen Victoria's early reign.


Also, if she still goes to Mass she might like "Fireproof"
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1129423/
A Christian-themed film in which a young man tries to overcome his self-centered way of living in an attempt to save his marraige. Obviously this film is not from the Hollywood crowd.The leading lady is not a great actress so I would guess she was chosen for her very good looks!

Someone already mentioned Mamma Mia which is a good one too.

I'm sure I can think of some more "Mammy types"...
 
Get her Miller's Crossing. It's a bit violent but if she doesn't like it she's no taste and you're wasting your time bothering with her, mother or not ;)
