One of my favorite movies today. Tim Burton's

Big Fish (2003)

with Albert Finney as the fish, Ewan McGregor as the younger fish and the incredulous son Billy Crudup. Adoring women Jessica Lange and Helen Bonham Carter. Steve Buscemi with a big big walk on. Others.

This is a tall tale. About a big fish. The biggest.

A son comes to believe in the father. The fish story becomes real.

I think that there are a lot of things that make me blubber on and off throughout the film. A happy blubber. Nothing is sad.

Certainly, anything as touching as a man who comes to believe in his Dad has to get to me. My story.

Also the life story, in any form, big or little, is pretty interesting. Believe it or not.

This is so much a 5 I ought to give it a 25 out of Netflix5. I think I have seen it more than five times. Maybe five more when a need a good blubber, laugh, memory.
