Director: Tim Burton
Stars: Ewan McGregor, Jessica Lange, Helena Bonham Carter, Marion Cotillard, Danny DiVito
Genre: Drama, Fantasy
Rated: PG-13
Synopsis: A son tries to dig through to the truth of his dying father's life as said eccentric father tells him a series of seemingly tall tales.
Commentary: I haven't seen this movie in years but it still stands out to me as one of the best. A Tim Burton film without Johnny Depp (gasp!), but there's still Helena Bonham Carter and a slew of other great actors that will have you crying by the end.
The father tells a series of supposedly fictional stories about his life that his son doesn't believe, like the time his car was covered in honey and bees got stuck to it and flew the car away. But Big Fish is wonderfully written and beautifully done cinematography that by the end you'll be wondering if the father's stories were really just tall tales.
