"Big Fish" is one of my favorite movies ever and I remember it as a wonderful film...

... but every time I see it, I've forgotten just HOW wonderful the film is.
.
.
.
As in wonderful and full of wonder.
.
.
.
I'm a BIG fan of fairy tales and I think this is (by far) Tim Burton's tour de force.
.
.
.
AND I forget how, for the last 10 minutes or so of the film, I am crying freely --
not out of sadness but, like some folks react to the opera, because of the beauty
of it.
.
Beauty building on beauty building on beauty. A celebration of life.
.
.
.
.
.
And Fucking Immortality. I had forgotten that, too.
.
.
.
If you can't tell... I kinda recommend it.

1. I liked it, too. Need to watch it again, been a long time

it has such a nice -southern- flavor to it ... I do remember that and Ewan *sigh* he is dreamy.

The story revolves around a dying father and his son, who is trying to learn more about his dad by piecing together the stories he has gathered over the years. The son winds up re-creating his father's elusive life in a series of legends and myths inspired by the few facts he knows. Through these tales, the son begins to understand his father's great feats and his great failings.

2. I agree

One of the best films ever. I cry like a baby no matter how many times I see it. Reminds me of my Dad and his life.
