Results: Movie Dads - Part 1
Published on 06/13/2023
Not all of these Dads are realistic (we’re looking at you, Mrs. Doubtfire), and some have their flaws, but it’s safe to say that these on-screen patriarchs left quite an impact on us over the years. So, in honor of Father's Day let's highlight a few.

Mrs. Doubtfire - Daniel Hillard, Robin Williams, we're not saying that it's OK to dress up in drag so you can manipulate and spy on your family. But even with his questionable actions, Daniel proves that his love for his kids is unconditional. Talk about dedication. Have you seen Mrs. Doubtfire?

The Parent Trap - Nick Parker, Dennis Quaid, the lovable vineyard owner definitely has his flaws (especially when it comes to dating), but if there's one characteristic we admire, it's his loyalty to his daughters. Remember that one standout scene, when an upset Meredith insists that Nick choose between her and his own kids? Have you seen The Parent Trap?

To Kill a Mockingbird - Atticus Finch's, Gregory Peck, sense of morality is unparalleled. And seeing him instill so many great life lessons—like the importance of living with integrity—is always inspiring to see. But more importantly, the attorney practices what he preaches and leads by example, regardless of how it affects his public image. Have you seen To Kill a Mockingbird?

Three Men and a Baby - Peter Mitchell, Michael Kellam and Jack Holden (Tom Selleck, Steve Guttenberg, Ted Danson) we know, we know—the film initially assumes that men are inept when it comes to caring for babies. Still, we can't ignore that it challenges gender stereotypes. At a time when women are seen as primary caregivers, this film proves that men can also succeed at parenting.

John Q - Even though it's probably not a good idea to take a hospital hostage in real life, you have to feel for John Quincy Archibald in John Q. Denzel Washington brilliantly plays John Q, who stops at nothing to make sure his son Michael receives his life-saving transplant after his insurance company refuses to cover the surgery.
