34. Big fish, 2003, Tim Burton
Tim Burton's finest. While I love most of Burton's work, his movies often feel a bit drawn out. He's best at making characters for short stories, many of his movies would be better at between 45 and 60 minutes run time. Big fish is basically a collection of short stories through which we get to know the main character. This works perfectly. Each story is beautifully made with wonderful characters which all tie together with the emotional discovery of a dying father's son. I love the message how loved ones will live on through stories.
