Doesn't that film just warm your heart and make you feel good about being in the story telling business?!!

I did enjoy this but felt it overrated; I enjoyed it in a watch it one time way but feel no need to own it or rent it again. It is one of Burtons 'Hit's (he is so Hit and MIss for me)

Big Fish was a touching film but never really peaked for me

Charlie and the Chocolate Factory - Hit From What I understand?

Yes. I really enjoyed the film as well. I thought it touched and delt with a very real issue. The poor relationship many men experience with their fathers. In many cases it's not 'till dad dies is he appreciated.

Ouch, natural causes at the age of 32?

I for one loved Big Fish!
