I've mentioned it before but About Time.
When it came out my Mum had been dead 15+ years and my Dad had developed a few health issues. It left me a right mess.
Then I watched it 5 or so years later when my Dad had was increasingly infirm and it wrecked me. Even though I thought it wouldn't hit me as hard because I knew what I was getting into.
Now he's gone and I don't think I can ever watch it again, although I did buy the DVD, possibly to troll my future self.
If I was a parent, I'd now also be very aware that the roles have reversed and they'd now be in the position I was first in when I initially saw the film and so the cycle continues.
This movie's message is powerful. Quite unexpected for what starts as a typical romcom
