80 for Brady, Close, One Fine Morning

Movie 1: 80 for Brady

This is a heartwarming story about the enduring friendship of four friends in or near their 80’s, who happen to be diehard New England Patriots fans and want to attend the 2017 Super Bowl. While not great film making, this movie is a lot of fun.

Movie 3: One Fine Morning

This is a French drama that tugs at your heart.

Lea Seydoux (from 007 No Time to Die) turns in a wonderful performance. French with English subtitles.
