In celebration for Father’s Day who are the best movie Dads, in Hollywood films? At the top of my head, I’ll name ten of my favorites.
Enjoy the list:
- Rocky Balboa (played by Sylvester Stallone for the Rocky series) – The character that made Sly a star. This would be my first pick. Sly plays a father very well and more realistic than any other movie Dads, in my opinion.
- Don Vito Corleone (played by Marlon Brando for the first “Godfather” film) – An epic performance by Brando and my favorite Godfather movie. Love this film too much.
- Clark Griswold (played by Chevy Chase for the “National Lampoon’s Vacation” series) – Griswold is one of the greatest movie Dads ever, so he deserves this spot. I think it would be cool if there can be one last Vacation movie with the Griswold family reunited.
- Jor-El (played by Marlon Brando for “Superman: The Movie” and “Superman II”) – This role is Marlon’s best acting in his career, in my opinion. Such an amazing performance.
- Bryan Mills (played by Liam Neeson for the “Taken” film) – Would it be badass to have a Dad like this? Have a father where he goes out to rescue kidnapped kids on their own? The “Taken” movie just rules!
- Dad Meiks (played by Bill Paxton for the horror film “Frailty”) – Imagine what it would be like to have a serial killer Dad? I think it would be kind of fun, honestly.
- George McFly (played by Crispin Glover for the first “Back to the Future” film) – He has always been my favorite character from the first “Back to the Future” film. Crispin Glover was so perfect for that role, nobody else could play that character but him.
- Michael Sullivan Sr. (played by Tom Hanks for the “Road to Perdition” film) – Another mobster Dad, but a great movie and one of my favorite characters Tom Hanks ever played. Love this movie.
- Robert Wakefield (played by Michael Douglas for the film “Traffic”) – A great role by Michael Douglas with some really good acting. His performance is underrated in this movie, I think. Wish he got more recognition for it.
- Roy Neary (played by Richard Dreyfuss for the film “Close Encounters of the Third Kind”) – This is one of my favorite Steven Spielberg movies ever made. Man, I love this movie so much, I’ll never get tired of it. It’s Spielberg’s best sci-fi film, in my opinion.
That’s all, enjoy the list. Coming up next, top 10 Best TV Dads.
