Fried Green Tomatoes follows the story of a lonely and depressed housewife, Evelyn (Kathy Bates). She befriends an elderly lady named Ninny (Jessica Tandy) at a nursing home.

4 – Steel Magnolias (1989)
Steel Magnolias follows a group of tight-knit women in a small Southern community. When they lose one of their own, the group grieves together. Sally Field’s performance makes it nearly impossible to keep a dry eye.

5 – The Notebook (2004)
The Notebook follows a senior named Duke (James Garner) as he reads a romantic story from his Notebook to a female patient (Gena Rowlands) in a nursing home where they reside together.
