This is one of my favorite movies. I have watched it many times. I plan to read the book one of these days.

Very cool, I loved this movie and the facts are fantastic!
One thing though, you wrote this part in there twice: Most of the scenes were shot on location in Wetumpka, Alabama, and Prattville, Alabama.

I love this movie! I have a bit of a story about it too–a guy I dated in 2004 had lived in Wetumpka AL while they were filming, and had worked at a photo lab that developed stills for the movie (like the photos on the staircase in the Blooms’ house) and he developed an extra set for himself, which I saw.

Now I want to watch Big Fish again! I haven’t seen it in a couple years and every time I watch it, the end makes me cry. Oh, and the scene where they get in the bathtub together…<3

It was great seeing this movie in the theater, and it’s been too long since I’ve seen it. Thanks for the fun facts again!

I’ve only seen it once, but will def have to check it out again. I can’t remember anything about it except for the ending.

Without question, one of the most terrific American movies ever made. It did not get nearly the recognition it deserved.

The daffodil scene was filmed down the street from where I live in Montgomery, AL. Ewan McGregor also lived in my neighborhood during filming. It was our small town’s brush with fame.

The scene with the daffodils is amazing. Nice to know they were real.

I’d always wanted to see this film; I kept meaning to see it from the day it came out. one weekend, my boyfriend and I finally managed to remember to rent it, but for one reason or another we didn’t get around to watching it.

Anyways, later that week, the Tuesday in fact, my great-grandfather passed away. he was one of my best friends; my protector more than anything. he loved to spin a tale for the kids. he’d do anything for us young ones.

I was his eldest great-grandchild and he always had this story between us how I’d make him a great-great-Grandad and they would make him a great-great-great-Grandad…

I saw this film literally a few hours after he died and could not contain myself. I cried so much. obviously I was sad that we’d lost him, but seriously, it made me feel Ok about it, I really felt like it was Ok that he’d gone and that sometimes, people need to swim away to something else.

maybe that all sounds cheesy or whatever. but, jeez, I really really love this film. It really is beautiful x

I liked how Steve Buscemi was a robber here and in Reservoir Dogs.
