In Memory of My Father (2005)
Made me want to be a better person... instead of going back to bed
It begins in a manner that almost pisses you off... if you hadn't heard good things about the film, or noticed that it had won a bunch of awards, you might even want to leave within the first ten minutes... however, it builds, and builds and gets more and more layered and more intelligent until you're wrapped up entirely.
Now, I want to watch the beginning because I will understand the humor from the beginning this time... don't get me wrong, the beginning isn't awful, it's just a lot going on and the characters seem somewhat unlikable... but that changes into an explosive honesty that moves the entire audience in some manner... mostly laughter, but at the same time subtly reminds you to look at your family and your relationships and all of the things that you don't do perfectly, and... yeah, well. that.
