Best & Worst Movie Dads

June 10, 2017 in Collections

BEST: ETHAN HAWKE IN BOYHOOD

He's funny, caring, and genuinely interested in his children's lives. Plus, like we see in this scene, he treats them in a way that acknowledges their intelligence and suggestions in how to shape their parent/child dynamic.

BEST: LIAM NEESON IN TAKEN

He may not know who you are or what you want. But what he does have are a very particular set of skills, skills that he's acquired over a very long career. If you let his daughter go immediately, you'll be okay. But if you don't.....

WORST: DARTH VADER IN THE EMPIRE STRIKES BACK

He cut off his kid's arm and he's Darth Vader. Enough said.

rent the empire strikes back
 

BEST: ROBIN WILLIAMS IN MRS. DOUBTFIRE

He's so devoted to his kids, he made up a whole British grandmother persona just so he could see them every day by being their nanny. In the process, he actually became really good at parenting.

BEST: WILL SMITH IN THE PURSUIT OF HAPPYNESS

"Don't ever let somebody tell you... you can't do something. Not even me. All right? You got a dream? You gotta protect it."

RENT THE PURSUIT OF HAPPYNESS
 

WORST: DANNY DEVITO IN MATILDA

"Listen, you little wiseacre. I'm smart, you're dumb. I'm big, you're little. I'm right, you're wrong. And there's nothing you can do about it!"

rent matilda
 

BEST: DUSTIN HOFFMAN IN KRAMER VS. KRAMER

"You know, I've had a lot of time to think about what it is it that makes somebody a good parent? You know, it has to do with constancy, it has to do with patience, it has to do with listening to him. It has to do with pretending to listen to him when you can't even listen anymore. It has to do with love, like, like, like she was saying. And I don't know where it's written that it says that a woman has a corner on that market, that, that a man has any less of those emotions than a woman does."

RENT KRAMER VS. KRAMER
 

WORST: JACK NICHOLSON IN THE SHINING

Daddy's home. With an axe.

BEST: GEORGE CLOONEY IN THE DESCENDANTS

While coping with his wife's coma, he struggles to raise their two rebellious daughters. But when the eldest finally drops the bombshell that her mom had been cheating on him, it triggers the path to reconnecting with them.
