Guest koby Posted December 22, 2006 Share Posted December 22, 2006 Bought my 84 yr old mother a DVD player for fun. Any suggestions on some DVDs?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndreaInNC Posted December 22, 2006 Share Posted December 22, 2006 Some movies that she might have enjoyed while she was growing up. Anything from the 40s or 50s perhaps? Or maybe her favorite TV show on DVD? Almost everything is on DVD right now. I know I bought my mom a best of Carol Burnett DVD a few years back and we ALL loved that!

hopeky94 Posted December 22, 2006 Share Posted December 22, 2006 If she enjoys history-- how about movies or documentaries about national or world events that happened when she was a young adult? Maybe something about women during World War II, or an overview of the 40's/50's/60's... A collection of Bob Hope's earlier USO tours would be nice, if there is such a thing on DVD... HTH!!:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

preacherswife2 Posted December 22, 2006 Share Posted December 22, 2006 if you have a Dollar General or Dollar Tree type stores near you try looking at them and buy their $!.00 old black and white movies. My parents love these. I did about twenty of them last year, wrapped each one, and made them open all! I had no idea what these movies were, but over half they knew and loved to a chance to see again. They are both in their 80's so I can also say..GOOD LUCK teaching her how to run it!!! But after a few trys mine got the idea of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
