We are resurrecting our once popular "Chinese Dinner & a Movie" event this year on December 22. I am looking for a light, fun film to show at the synagogue that will appeal to a mostly older crowd of empty-nesters, active retirees and seniors. Could be a feature film or a documentary; comedy or something in the "edu-tainment" category; Jewish content but NOT Holocaust; preferably in English but sub-titles are OK too. In the past we showed Dreaming of a Jewish Christmas, Fiddler, Dough and Land of Milk & Honey. We also showed The New Jew during the pandemic and that was a hit so an episode or two from a series could work as well. We don't want to conflict with our local JCC and Israeli film festivals so I'm thinking maybe there is an older/classic film that would be fun to revisit.
Please let me know if you have any "tried & true" suggestions that fit the above requirements for this event. Thanks!
