Recently I bought these two finally on DVD. I've seen them before and they never cease to crack me up. I wish they made more films like this, just fun, entertaining with a touch of funny and an occasional tug at the heartstrings.

BTW, Burgess Meredith steals EVERY single scene he is in with his sexual innuendo's. The outtakes at the end made me cry. Part two, Grupier Old Men, was just as sweet. I put these two films in the category like Father of the Bride/part 2, Sister Act. Films you can watch over and over again over the years and it's like your welcoming an old friend that always makes you smile.

Alan Silvestri did some nice music for both. One CD would work great with some highlights from both films as he used the same themes for both films with an occasional new theme here and there.
Looks like a great release from La-La Land!! The original soundtrack had a great cue, I think it was the end credit's I think.

Erich Kunzel did a very nice rerecording with the Cincinnati Pops Orchestra of the theme for the album "Beautiful Hollywood".

Would be great to have another installment with someone like Don Rickles.

Yeah, those scores for the grumpy men are wonderful!
I really enjoy "The Odd Couple II", another Silvestri score for a Lemmon/Matthau movie, too.

I'd love to hear another Silvestri (romantic) comedy score in the future.

I've always enjoyed the score to this film and its sequel. Any word on a future release?

I also really like the movies and their scores. The movies make me laugh so hard I cry at times. Too damn funny. The music is quite good (as usual for Alan Silvestri).

Another comedy series Mr. Silvestri worked on I really liked... Father of the Bride.

Yes, the Old Men need some soundtrack release love...

I agree, these films always crack me up. I think I could have watched a whole film of just Burgess Meredith doing his schtick. He stole every scene he was in.

"Mount the woman, Son."

Of course, the main theme to Grumpy Old Men is basically "The Jimmy Hart Version" (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/SuspiciouslySimilarSong?from=Main.TheJimmyHartVersion) of Father of the Bride...

He out Horned Horner there, me thinks...

Looks like neither of the scores are commercially available. I wonder which of the labels is more likely to get it out there?
