The Fiddler On The Roof

The father Tevye must accept his daughter’s romance even though it doesn’t follow his strict faith but hard times are upon the family and village…Tevye bows in this familial argument and sacrifices the values he grew up with because times, and young people, are changing, and he’s wise enough to see this, even if he’s not happy about the romance.

Baby Boom (1987) - Diane Keaton plays a NYC ad exec on the fast track to making partner, then she is named guardian to her deceased cousins’ orphaned baby. Cute film.
