Slightly risque, but nothing too difficult. Brilliant two hander between Dench and Hoskins. Based on the true story of the Windmill Theatre in London, this has nostalgia, love, and real grief.

Gentle two hander, with Dench and Smith as two elderly spinster sisters who fall for a young man they rescue from the beach. Tender.

As fresh and funny as the day it was made. Bears rewatching any number of times.

Safe bet.

Subtle, tender love story, beautifully realised, of an American writer corresponding with a secondhand bookshop in London.

Charming fable set at the outbreak of war, of a sheltered governess who gets a job as the social secretary of a glamorous cabaret singer.
