I volunteer for a meal for the unhoused and before the meal our guests have an option to watch a movie- just to give them some time off the streets. I need recs for movies that are not violent or sexy and no drugs or alcohol abuse but also not children’s movies. Also must be available on DVD. I know, so niche.

A gentle, low-key indie music film. Has social drinking but I don't think abuse.

“Probably my favorite movie. As an artist, I think this movie perfectly captures the spirit - the rapture, the aloneness, the struggle - of creativity. I love the story. I love the music. I’ve watched the movie countless times, and it always reminds me why we’re here. To feel. To share. To stumble. To try. I was crushed to learn of the death of Glen Hansard.”
