Big fish.

At the time, the dad death hit a little too close to home after a few drinks.

Favorite movie ever, haven't watched since 2011 or so, my father died in 2012 and I just can't...

Ditto. This one had me in tears. The father so reminded me of my late grandfather and his storytelling.

Read the book! It was so good as well. Not entirely the same as the movie. The movie was more of the premise with book plus some exerpts, but still amazing in its own way. I really enjoy both. Really easy read because of how it is written, and so much fun as well.
