Mine is 'Company Of Strangers'. 1990. I've cried every time i've seen it. It got 100% at rotten tomatoes.
"SNIP.....
When a tour bus carrying senior women breaks down in rural Quebec, Michelle (Michelle Sweeney) the driver goes out to check the engine and injures her ankle in the process, leaving her -- and the bus -- to be cared for by the elderly passengers. Luckily, among them, there are a lot of practical skills to go around. Catherine (Catherine Roche) is a nun with a working knowledge of mechanics, while Alice (Alice Diabo) is a Native American able to construct traps to catch food.

A beautiful tale of love, lust, secrets revealed and unlikely romantic heroes, masterfully told to the tune of incredible music and dance.
I'll watch yours, if you watch mine.
