If you loved The Last Hurrah, try How Green Was My Valley
A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.
What they share
Both films are directed by John Ford, and they both carry the bittersweet, tender mood tags, and they sit in Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to The Last Hurrah, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What How Green Was My Valley is
Angela's Ashes if set in a Welsh mine. A close-knit family struggles to stay together as industrial upheaval and romantic jealousies intrude. John Ford's sentimental side gets full play in this portrait of a vanished world.
