In honor of Father’s Day, I decided to make a list of my favorite dads on film. These gentleman have made us laugh and cry over the years and even offered us a little bit of fatherly advice. Check out my top 5 super dads below. If I missed your favorite, please let me know.
1. Atticus Finch-To Kill a Mockingbird
“You never really understand a person until you consider things from his point of view… Until you climb inside of his skin and walk around in it.”
2. Clark Griswold-National Lampoon’s Vacation
“I’m just trying to treat my family to a little fun.”
3. Mr. Parker a.k.a. “The Old Man”-A Christmas Story
“All right, I’ll get that kid to eat. Where’s my screw driver and my plumber’s helper? I’ll open up his mouth and I’ll shove it in.”
4. Marlin-Finding Nemo
“Don’t you lay a fin on that boat! Don’t you dare touch that boat!”
5. Guido Orefice-Life is Beautiful
“You can lose all your points for any one of three things. One: If you cry. Two: If you ask to see your mother. Three: If you’re hungry and ask for a snack! Forget it!”
