I need a name for a Jewish/ Holocaust movie where there is a father and a son hiding in an attic for a long time.

What are some good father - son movies?
Not really suited for young viewers but since someone already suggested The God Father, try The Road to Perdition. It’s the story of a son coming to terms with his father’s gangster life. Secondhand Lions is a good one too, it got a 7.6 out of 10 on IMDb.

"The Road" While the son is very young when a world wide disaster occurs. The family lives in an area where no plant can grow. When the boy is about 11, the father and son set out on foot to find an area not so badly affected. They have to look for food that was produced before the disaster. There is no government and no jobs. With survival being so difficult it is a challenge for the father to both provide the necessities to live and a moral code above that of a savage.

Movies with bad Father-Son relationship?
This movie is from the 1990's (sorry) but it's really good. It's called "This Boy's Life" and it's based on the memoir by Tobias Wolff. EDITED TO ADD: Ah, "Brothers". Isn't that the one with Natalie Portman and Jake Gylenhall? I've been wanting to see that. I'll put in on my Netflix list. EDITED AGAIN: Yes, it's a good film but hard to watch. How about "Road to Perdition". That movie is the bomb! I'm trying to think of a few others. I know I saw one about an abusive alcoholic father and his son but I can't remember the name right now. If I do, I'll post it.
Help finding movie: father and son?
This is one of those wild guesses: Life as a House (2001) starring Kevin Kline, Hayden Christensen, Kristin Scott Thomas, Jena Malone, Mary Steenburgen, Ian Somerhalder IMDb synopsis: When a man is diagnosed with terminal cancer, he takes custody of his misanthropic teenage son, for whom quality time means getting high, engaging in small-time prostitution, and avoiding his father. George Monroe is a lonely and sad man. Divorced for ten years, he lives alone on the Southern California coast with his pet dog in the same run down shack he has lived in for 25 years, the shack which his father passed down to him. In the intervening years, ostentatious houses have sprung up around him. He's been at the same architectural firm for 20 years in a job he hates, which primarily consists of building scale models. On the day that he is fired from his job, he is diagnosed with an advanced case of terminal cancer, which he chooses not to disclose to his family. In many ways, this day is the happiest of his recent life in that he decides to spend what little time he has left doing what he really wants to do, namely build a house he can call his own to replace the shack. He also wants his rebellious 16-year-old son, Sam, to live with him for the summer. Here's the movie trailer: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QlAXZclow...
What is the best advice given by a father to his son in a movie?
This was not in a movie but a forward in a whatsapp group ,but a beautiful message to all the youngsters out there.Do not bear grudge toward those who are not good to you. No one has the responsibility of treating you well, except your mother and I. To those who are good to you, you have to treasure it and be thankful, and ALSO you have to be cautious , because everyone has a motive for every move. When a person is good to you , it does not mean he really likes you. You have to be careful, don't hastily regard him as a best friend. No one sis indispensable, nothing in the world that you must possess. Once you understand the idea, it would be easier for you to go through life when people around you don't want you anymore, or when you lose what/who you love most.Life is short. When you waste your life today, tomorrow you would find that life is leaving you. The earlier you treasure your life, the better you enjoy life.Love is a transient feeling, and this feeling would fade with some time and with one's mood. If your so called loved ones leaves you, be patient, time will wash away your aches and sadness. Don't over exaggerate the sadness of falling out of love.A lot of successful people did not receive good education, that does not mean you can be successful by not studying hard! Whatever knowledge you gain is your weapon in life.One can go from rags to riches, but one has to start from some rags.I do not expect you to financially support me when I am old, either would I financially support your whole life. My responsibility of a supporter ends when you are grown up. After that ,you decide whether you want to travel in a public transport or in your limousine, whether rich or poor.You honour your words but don't expect others to be so.If you don't understand this, you would end up with necessary troubles.I have bought lottery tickets for umpteen years , but I never strike any prize. That show if you want to be rich, you have to work hard! there is no free lunch!Courtesy-Whatsapp
What are some good movies or shows for a father to watch with his young sons?
Silent and very early era movies. It was a simpler time back then, and this will resonate really well with young kids. For example, both our kids (3yrs, 4.5yrs) loved watching Sherlock Jr. (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0015...) and other Buster Keaton movies. We've also watched a few Shirley Temple (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000073/) movies, and those also go over well. The Buster Keaton ones are silent (Netflix has a great music track that fits the action), very little dialog, and usually run under 60 minutes, which is great. The Shirley Temple ones are good because the plots are very straightforward, so the kids can usually follow them, and also run barely over 60 minutes. Here's Sherlock Jr. on youtube: It's only 44 minutes! Our kids are too scared by most Disney movies, which target in the 6+ age-range. We've tried The Little Mermaid, Nemo, Cars, etc. and they can make it through the movie but usually describe it as "there was that one scary part with..." (Where Nemo's mom dies, Evil witch, etc.) Anything musical will keep your kids attention much longer than movies with a thicker plot.We've had surprising success watching Bollywood musicals. You can translate/simplify the dialog (as you read the subtitles) and the plots are very straightforward (boy meets girl, boy loses girl, boy gets girl). The musical numbers and visuals are really fantastic. The movies are long (2.5-3hrs) so you can split it up across several nights. For example, the kids (and adults!) really enjoyed Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1182...) Here's an example musical number from that film:
What are some good movies about father-son relationships?
'The Return' by Zvyagintsev. Starts as a slow homage to Tarkovsky; stays slow but gets very intense. Amazing performances by the two youngsters. Also, 'Mirror', by Tarkovsky, at first seems to be a film about his own relationship with his mother, but then is clearly also about his relationship with his own father, and with his son. A very, very complex movie and deeply moving if you have the patience to unravel who's who, when, since it time trips all over. 'Fallen Angels' by W. K. Wai has a fantastic subplot father/son story. 'Paris Texas' by Wim Wenders, possibly one of the greatest ones ever made. And, 'All About My Mother' by P. Almodovar, which is indirectly a father/son movie, spending most of its time with the mom, but always looking at the son, and the dad. All these movies are really intense and pretty sad, but fantastically good. Oh, finally: 'Life Aquatic' by W. Anderson, a very whimsical, slightly sad, and beautiful film. Excellent sense of humor and a very strange emotional payoff in the final minutes of the film.
