It’s fathers Day Weekend. And I just wanted to name my favorite movie Dads of all times. Characters that are fathers in hollywood movies over the years.
Here’s my top ten in no particular order:
- Sean Connery as Henry Jones Sr. in “Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade” – this one definitely tops my list. Definitely my favorite movie Dad that you can actually watch and enjoy.
- Chevy Chase as Clark Griswold in the “National Lampoon’s Vacation” series – I loved all the National Lampoon’s movies with Chevy in them. Chevy Chase is great playing a family father that is a crazy whacko!!!
- Michael Douglas as Robert Wakefield in “Traffic” – Douglas plays an intense character and some of his best acting in his career. He plays a father who has a daughter who is a cocaine addict while this war on drugs is being fought.
- Crispin Glover as George McFly in “Back to the Future I and II” – One of the best movie Dads ever, in my opinion. Can’t forget that weird George McFly laugh and being a peeping tom. Crispin is great in both “Back to the Future’s 1 and 2”.
- Richard Dreyfuss as Roy Neary in “Close Encounters of the Third Kind” – Can’t forget that classic scene when this guy is at the dinner table trying to form a huge pile of mashed potatoes into a mountain shape. Great flick and one of Spielberg’s best films!
- Marlon Brando as Don Vito Corleone in “The Godfather” – Can’t leave this classic off the list.
- Marlon Brando as Jor-El in “Superman: The Movie” – There is something so special and very intense about Marlon Brando playing Jor-El in the first Superman movie. Something that sends chills down your spine about this character in the film. Such powerful acting, in my opinion.
- Sylvester Stallone as Rocky in the “Rocky” series – If you’re going to do a top father’s day movie list with the greatest dads, then you have no business doing one if you leave Rocky Balboa out.
- Liam Neeson as Bryan Mills in “Taken” – How would you like to have a father like this? If you get kidnapped by gangs and other criminals, your Dad comes to the rescue.
- Tom Hanks as Michael Sullivan, Paul Newman as John Rooney in “The Road To Perdition” – In this fantastic and amazing movie, Tom Hanks plays a father in which his son doesn’t know that he is a career criminal aka, a mobster. Committing crimes is what his father did for a living.
