which films did you like from films which involved with family? lemme add bros & sis's.
paper moon - has anyone seen the film?
What about father/son?
I can think of a few in that category: Big Fish, Road To Perdition and The Barbarian Invasions
Lasse Hallstrom has some good "family" films: What's Eating Gilbert Grape, Chocolat and An Unfinshed Life
father/daughter(s): look no further than Eat Drink Man Woman by Ang Lee and The Ice Storm has good family aspects too
A single mother in action: Alice Doesn't Live Here Anymore by Martin Scorcese.
and an amazing "family" film and one of the best in the last five years: In America
and finally brother/brother & father/long lost son - Paris, Texas
"Every day holds a new beginning and every hour holds the promise of an Invitation to Love."
I recommend a little unknown gem starring William Hurt called Second Best (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0111102/). It's not available on DVD, but I did manage to get an XviD from an Italian DVD source (really strange), and I'll gladly upload it somewhere for all interested.
Oh, I have seen Paper Moon, it's fantastic! :D
Wasn't sure if this thread was about films that starred actors that were related or films that were family themed. Great family themed films (if pretty damned dysfunctional) Bad Boy Bubby & The Great Santini.
good choice on father & son films smokedchezpig, and yes, some can be actors related OneSuaveFolk, sorry, I should've mentioned. anyway.
Rebel without a cause & East of Eden is 2 great films James Dean starred in.
Rebel without a cause
Excellent choice Rebs one of my faves! Infact I just re-watched it the other night for about the zillionth time lol.
I was going to say Carrie! Of course! Piper Laurie and Sissy Spacek make the ultimate mother and daughter from hell lmao.
ooh! And of course my favourite (aside from FWWM which is also a family/father daugher film of sorts) is Thirteen. Excellent. go out and watch it if you haven't already, though i'm sure everyone has by now, I've only been ranting on about it for about the last three years! heh
"watch out for my cousin.."
glad to see ya Maddy! glad ya watch James Dean films too :)
have ya checked out 'night mother with sissy spacek & ann bancroft? how about in the bedroom? very tear jerking films, get a box of kleenex's sissy spacek is one heck of a great actress, along with others in the 2 films here.
