My dad has unironically gotten into weird low budget 70s and 80s Italian and German kinos lately. He watches like two movies a night and has done so for the last five or six years. He'll get home and just open an obscure streaming app that I've never heard of on his TV and pick stuff to watch at random. I guess he's made it through all of the mainstream stuff and has moved on to obscure foreign shit.

Either this, 2001 or Ikiru. He doesn't like scary or gory movies because they are either don't scare him (Silence of the Lambs didn't scare him, he found Anthony Hopkins to be hammy) or they do scare him and then he is scared and he finds that unpleasant. So it's only /comfy/ movies at home. His favourite Ryan Gosling film was "First Man", that's his "literally me" film.

The 49th Parallel is the only non-American movie I have seen him express interest for. He recorded it three times and watched it each time in complete length. He almost never rewatches anything. It’s about Nazis stranded in Canada and they hide out in a German farm town and try to convince them that the Aryan race is supreme through a long speech but the town founder tells them they left Germany to get away from people like that and that Canada is a multicultural society. He loves sappy propaganda old time stuff like that.

My dad has pretty bad insomnia. Had it my whole life. There are so many times I would be waken up at 2AM by him watching this movie. Sometimes he would go through phases where he would just watch it every day for weeks on end.
Runner ups:
The Maltese Falcon
Casablanca
Masked and Anonymous
Wise Blood
The Bronx Is Burning (ESPN miniseries)

my dad liked Master & Commander, that's all I can remember.
he was an intellectual.
he didn't watch too many movies, but he liked that one, and Persona.
>>
>>198581896
Man. Imagine being an intellectual and your son ends up posting on 4chan. I probably would have killed myself aswell.

My father's favourite film was a British film called "the Ring of Bright Water".

It's about a man who befriends an otter, sounds cute right? Well it starts off cute, but ends with the brutal killing of the otter by a local man with a spade.

Our family lived in a small, messy house, not to dissimilar to the one in the film in the remote Scottish countryside which was fine until my mother went missing when my sister and I were about 6 years old. Father decided to home school us as the local school was too far away.

Home school, would consist mainly of washing the vomit from his clothes (caused by his habitual over indulgence in cheep whiskey) in the nearby creek and watching "THE FILM".

Father did not allow us to watch broadcast television as we did not have a TV licence and he was petrified that the BBC would send one of their detector vans around, and only a small selection of VHS tapes. Ring of Bright Water happened to be his favourite, but was also the only one that wasn't part of his special collection of films that my sister and I were not allowed to watch. He would watch after we went to bed, they must have been quite moving films judging from the tortured sounds that would issue from the sitting room when he was alone with his special films.

He would always reach for his whiskey at the point when the otter was killed and burst into tears saying things like "she brought it on herself." And " she knew how sharp the spade was. " which was all rather odd, because the otter in the film was male and Father would have been well aware of that because we watched that can film nearly every day.

Anyway, to cut a long story short, my sister and I moved in with my maiden aunt in Glasgow after Father died. About 10 years later the police found a headless skeleton buried in our old garden, that DNA testing found was our mum. Her murder has never been solved, but every year my sister and I watch Ring of Bright Water together to remember Father and her.

I need to watch it for old times' sake.

>>198582319
Wow. I thought my father was weird. I did dream once when I was very little that my father killed my mother and I found her chopped hands in the shower.

i don't think my dad is emotionally capable of expressing such a sentiment

Are you my brother?
