AARP’s winning 2019 movies for its Movies for Grownups awards

It’s that time of year. I’m on my annual movie watching marathon so I can write about the Academy Awards for movies made in 2019. So far, I like “1917” for best movie. I haven’t seen “The Irishman,” “Marriage Story,” “Ford v Ferrari,” or “Joker” yet.

AARP The Magazine’s 19th Annual Movies for Grownups Awards were held Saturday in Beverly Hills, celebrating 2019’s standout films with unique appeal to moviegoers 50-plus and recognizing the inspiring artists who make them.

I haven't been able to watch the movies as much as I did in previous years. So far the only movie I've seen on the list is A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood, which I loved.

Hi Jennifer,

I'm looking forward to seeing "A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood." There are so many violent and sad movies, it will be a nice change.
