I Never Sang for My Father (1970)

Miserable movie about a dutiful son finally standing up to his father once his mom dies. I appreciated the fact that the movie didn’t cop out by having the son cave and abide by his father’s wishes. But, though he chooses his own happiness over his father's demands, it was an intensely unpleasant journey to get there. The cinematic flourishes (e.g. overly shaky camera and quick cuts between denizens of a nursing home and the father at home) only made it more difficult to watch.
