Presenting a carefully curated selection of films you can watch with your parents, as determined by kn8 and his parents

Photo: Netflix In recent weeks, much has been written about the character of the foolhardy boomer, who drives their adult children crazy by not taking the coronavirus seriously. However! Let me just say: #NotAllBoomers. In my experience, there are also plenty of 60-somethings who’ve done their part to help flatten the curve by practicing self-isolation and proper social distancing.
Light, Low-Stress Movies What my parents say they most want to watch right now are what I like to call “comfy” movies — films without too much stress, where the stakes stay low and ideally nobody dies. Think of these options as televisual benzos that’ll help drown out the anxiety you’re all getting from staring at your phones 10 hours a day.This was the first movie I watched when I got home, and it was a great choice.
Sumptuous Period Pieces When I asked my dad what kind of movies he wanted to watch during quarantine, he thought about it for a bit and then uttered the three words above.Lagaan is one of my favorite films of all time, and I just discovered it was on Netflix. It’s a great stepping stone for getting into Bollywood cinema, because it is not just a musical, it’s a sports movie, too! It’s also 15 minutes longer than The Irishman, which is a further bonus.
The British Corner My mom loves British things so much, she married one. So here’s another selection of charming British films, non-costume-drama division.In four films that spanned the mid-’90s to the early ’00s, Hugh Grant and writer/director Richard Curtis created one of the U.K.’s most potent cultural exports — the image of a cozy, middle-class Britain full of socially awkward romantics, gangs of quirky friends, and cubic miles of floppy hair.
Darker Offerings If you’re up for some danger, some suspense, some brushes with evil, here are a few proven, parent-friendly options.It’s the height of the Cold War, and George Smiley is an utterly worn-down midlevel bureaucrat in the British secret service. He’s lost his beloved mentor, he’s lost his wife, and he’s losing the spy game to his unseen Russian rival. Now he’s the only person who can ferret out a mole high in the ranks of British intelligence.
