The second film I saw was also back in the early to mid-1980's in the
USA. The plot of this film is a
time piece which takes place, in what looks like the 18th or 19th
century. It concerns a woman and
her kids who are left homeless and poverty stricken by the death of
the their wealthy husband/father.
There is another wealthy man who wants to marry the widow, but he does
not want her or her kids
to bring any material possessions with them. The new husband is even
upset when one of the kids
bring a teddy bear along. The new husband wants the mother and her
kids to break all ties with the
past and he vows to buy all new things for them. There is another
scene toward the beginning of the
movie where an old man is joking around with a group of kids. He is
with the kids near a staircase
and he entertains them by blowing out candles by farting on them.
Any help with these two film titles would be greatly appreciated.

You have an interesting taste in flicks, especially the second one.

Can't they just use noodles like everyone else?

i guess if they had learned to order something else there wouldn't be a
movie.
