watching it now, on bbc1.
besides being a great film, my late father was a fan of wallace and gromit - and i informed him many months before its' release, that it was coming.
he had terminal prostate cancer, and my real wish, and his at the time was that he would still be well enough to see it.
only just ---- our weekly cinema trips ended when he became too sick, and this movie was the last one we saw together.
for that reason - i get very maudlin when i watch this
(he finally passed away christmas eve that year .. 2005)

Its nice you can still watch it and think of him. My mother and I bought Honey by Bobby Goldsbourgh the day she died, and 42 years later it still tugs at my heart strings. Memories are something no one can take from us. X

I have a similar thing with Every Which way but Loose. My dad was quite bad with cancer many years ago when this was on telly. He was, understandably, quite miserable but when watching this he seemed to forget his troubles and actually sniggered out loud a few times. It really cheered him up for a short while. Just a few weeks later he went, but every time that film appears, I get memories.
