Olivia Gentile on the Best Grandparents in Movies

Olivia Gentile‘s terrific Grandparent Effect blog has an outstanding new list of the best movie grandparents. Some of the films are not for kids (or adults who don’t like bad language) but all of them are terrific.
I’d add to her list the Shirley Temple version of “Heidi” as well, with the wonderful Jean Hersholt as the alm-uncle/grandfather, “Little Lord Fauntleroy” with C.
