- Time for Armageddon
Terms of Endearment (1983)
We couldn’t help but leave with the greatest of grandmothers, Shirley MacLaine, who won her only Oscar for her role as Aurora, although she would have deserved many others. WITH Debra Winger forms a mother-daughter duet that can excite any viewer. If we then add to support Jack Nicholson, John Lithgow, Jeff Danielsthat’s all Desire for tenderness becomes a family drama that marks a generation and decade of cinema. James L. Brooks he guides with wisdom. A classic that still brings a lot of tears to this day. Really a lot. Available at KILOSES, Google games, Amazon Prime Video, Paramount+.
Royal Queen (2001)
A grandfather whom, frankly, no grandchild would want to have, but whom every film fan can only deeply love. Why Gene Hackman as patriarch Tenenbaums in his own way demonstrates a shocking, inspired, melancholy performance. Won a Golden Globe and an Oscar nomination, which would have been untouchable. First great film Wes Anderson represents a dysfunctional and overpowering family, also consisting of Anjelica Huston, Ben Stiller, Gwyneth Paltrow. Lots of moments of great cinema under the banner of a unique auteur. An epoch-making film. Available on Google Play, Amazon Prime Video, Disney+.
Little Miss Sunshine (2006)
Great Alan Arkin he wins the Oscar for Best Supporting Actor in his powerful and charismatic performance as the grandfather as the only person capable of understanding his granddaughter and leading her to that best of victories—freedom of thought and expression. Little Miss Sunshine becomes an excellent example of independent cinema also because Toni Collette, Greg Kinnear, Abigail Breslin, Steve Carell AND Paul Dano they make a wonderful group of actors. With an ending that brings tears and laughter in equal measure, gigantic. Cult movie. Available on Google Play, Apple iTunesAmazon Prime Video, Disney+.
Extremely Loud, Incredibly Close (2012)
One of the best melodramas of the last decade. Max von Sydow play the role of a grandfather who has seen too many horrors to put into words and then decides not to use them anymore. A sensational performance for a unique actor who delivered such a performance. Very strong and incredibly close unforgettable film. Also Tom Hanks, Sandra Bullock, Viola Davis AND John Goodman in this New York drama with huge emotional impact. Oscar nomination for the film and, of course, supporting actor. Available on Google Play, Amazon Prime Video.
Armageddon Time (2022)
The most autobiographical and therefore heartwarming feature film. James Gray gives us Anthony Hopkins back in a state of grace as a grandfather always trying to be there for his pregnant grandson, torn between his friendship with his classmate and the creeping racism in a divided, angry and oppressive New York. Time for Armageddon it touches, intrigues, makes you think about the normality of prejudice. Jeremy Strong, Ann Hataway and perfect Jessica Chastain in cameos they decorate the autumnal and very sincere film. To be seen with your heart in your mouth. Available on Apple iTunes, Amazon Prime Video.
