Wise, old characters?

Question

I'm looking for characters from movies, plays, or musicals that are wise and elderly like Dumbledoor in Harry Potter or Gandolf in Lord of the Rings. Male or Female. I want the kind of charming character who always seems to know what's going on and often puzzles the protagonist, but guides him at the same time. (Doesn't have to be a fantasy (I know I used two fantasy genre characters as an example))
