Definitely one of my favourites.

The story is about a guy whose father is dying. Since he's always had the feeling he doesn't know his father, he tries to talk him into telling the 'real' story of his past. The original story, featuring werewolfs, giants and witches is told throughout the main story and takes up most of the time.
In the end, the son learns that his father didn't always tell the truth, but his stories were certainly based on things that really happened. The story was just exaggerated to make it more entertaining.
_______________________
Though this entire movie is great, I need a special shoutout to the scene with Jenny Hill. She has always been in love with Edward (main character), and she tries to kiss him, but he doesn't love her. That sounds like your average rejection scene, but it is certainly not. The acting is really subtle, but that just emphasizes the feeling of the scene.
