Similar movies about father/son dynamic?

I just watched this movie and enjoyed it so much. I was pretty much in tears the whole time - I watched it at just the right time for me and it enlightened much about my own family dynamic (which is completely different but the light of this film showed me all kinds of hidden treasures that are already there in my life).

Hence my question: does anyone have tips for 'similar' films? I don't mean courthouse dramas - I mean films about troubled, non-communicative families with walls of misunderstanding between their seas of love.

Thanks so much. Warm regards from the Netherlands - Bartjan

Thanks rowox, I will check that out! Btw, sorry for the late reply, I'm new to these boards and thought I'd get a notification or something. If I did I must have missed it. Thanks again. Cheers.

No problem Bart. I get email notifications, I'm guessing you can opt for this in your account settings.

Btw the film doesn't have any father/son dynamics, but it does have practically every other dynamic (bro/sis, husband/wife, etc) and is one of my seven desert island films so I highly recommend it.

If you love the Very Hungry Caterpillar and are proud of it copy this and make it your signature

The Great Santini (which also starred Robert Duval).
