I watched a wonderful movie about a father and a son called; The Eagle and the Son. It is set in Mongolia and has subtitles but is very moving and one of the best movies I have seen in a long time.

October Sky is not a bad movie, actually. Families in the coal mining communities were just so stubborn back then…at least that’s the impression I got from the movie.

what about Finding Nemo? Yes, it is a cartoon. But it is also a story about a son making his own path.

No one has said Big Fish?! After watching Big Fish for the first time, I wanted to call my dad and say “I love you dad”… Frequency and Blow mentioned earlier two of my favorites.

You guys are awesome – I actually obsess over father/son movies – it’s my favorite genre.

Where do I start…?

I love Star Wars for that reason, also Indiana Jones III, Catch Me If You Can, Scent of a Woman, LXG (haha, not so good plot-wise), Die Hard 4, About A Boy, The Unsaid and Red River. There must be more… anymore that anyone can recommend? I’d be /eternally/ grateful ^_^

I would like to put in a few dad-son movie moments I’ve had a decent cry to…

:::Blow (the whole damn thing)
:::The Truman Show (when Truman sees his father)
:::Good Will Hunting (his lack of father and how he makes a father out of the psychiatrist)

I have a few more that I could be able to present, but these are all I have for you right now.

Legends of the fall and Life as a house both very good movies.

What about The Patriot and the relationship between Gibson and his boys. Good stuff and one of my all time favorites an absolute must see.

an underrated but very powerful movie on Father/Son is “Life as a House” with Kevin Klein and Gardner’s comment on the Hopkins/Pitt scene is dead on, good stuff
