Son of the Bride (2001)

The bittersweet heart of the list. Ricardo Darín plays a frazzled restaurant owner in Buenos Aires whose father decides to give his wife, now living with Alzheimer's, the church wedding she always wanted, much to his son's horror. Juan José Campanella finds comedy in the logistics of a midlife crisis: an ex-wife, a daughter, a girlfriend and a struggling restaurant all want more of Rafael than he has to give. Héctor Alterio and Norma Aleandro as the parents are the reason to watch, and the film is honest enough to let the sad scenes stay sad. It was nominated for the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film. Keep tissues near the wine.
