Aging Films to Watch Next

Photo by Pete Zarria.

Since about 2010, I have watch about one film about aging a week.

Films I've seen include classics such as On Golden Pond and new hits such as The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel.

These I have listed and summarized in another blog post:

See another post of films about aging I HAVE seen and reviewed. 

So it's about 200 films down, and about 180 films to go.

This is a companion post that lists movies I have yet to watch.

Below is a list of films that I have NOT seen or reviewed. Yet!  If your favorite is missing, check my "viewed" films page. 

Grab a bowl of popcorn and enjoy a movie this week!  Tell me about your favorites from this list in the comments.
