Parent-Safe Viewing?
I know today's my day to give recommendations, and I'll do that later, but right now I have to beg you all for some.
My dad's put me in charge of his Netflix queue for the month I'm here, I think because he's tired of squabbling over it. Trouble is, he's a movie buff so there's not much he doesn't already own. Would you guys be so kind as to recommend some good movies, minis, or TV shows on DVD - that are Parent Appropriate?
They like: movies with characters you can root for, positive or at least resolved endings, romantic comedies, adventures, heists, inspirational stories, indie films of the more upbeat variety, classics, clever plots, witty dialogue
They don't like: lots of swearing or sex (a bit is okay); stories that focus on morally bankrupt characters; bleak melodramas; "artsy" ambiguous endings or ones where the bad guys win; "family" movies whose only asset is a lack of swearing and sex
There is a lot they've seen, but there must be stuff that's fairly new/made-for-TV/little known/foreign/missed-along-the-way that they'd enjoy. If you're not sure, just recommend anything that pops into mind - I'd be so grateful! A good series that we could all enjoy might be perfect, but I can't think what.* So... help please?
*If this tells you anything, I've shown them season one of Veronica Mars and they loved it, but I won't be showing them season two.
