Don’t get me wrong, I love my dad. But he sure does have some tough competition with these film dads.
1. Marlin from Finding Nemo
What’s not to love about Marlin? He’s a sweet guy who would do anything to protect his son, even swim through Jellyfish and join a club full of sharks. Although he can be a little overprotective sometimes, I’d do anything to swim next to this guy.
Best Moment: When Nemo lights up as he finds out about the journey his dad has taken to find him.
2. Goofy in A Goofy Movie
Sure Goofy loves a little too hard and is kind of a klutz most of the time, but he will do anything to make sure that his son knows how much he loves him.
Best Moment: Doing the perfect cast on stage with Powerline (the biggest rockstar on the planet.)
Bonus (Sappiest Moment): When they get pushed off of a cliff and sing “Nobody Else But You”
3. The Lion King’s Mufasa
*cue tears* Mufasa is the ultimate dad. He’s full of wisdom, strength, kindness, and mercy. If I was Simba, I wouldn’t be able to wait to be King either, so I could be just like my dad.
Best Moment: When Mufasa is giving his son the talk about Pride Rock.
Bonus (Saddest Moment): YOU ALREADY KNOW
4. Dill Penderghast in Easy A
Olive’s father played by the fantastic Stanley Tucci is seriously who we all wish our dad was. Between the clever word play, reliability, and ability to understand and empathize with his daughter, he makes for the perfect dad.
Best Moment: When he discovers that his son knows that he is adopted.
5. John Q in John Q
John Q is played by Denzel Washington, a man who goes to great lengths to get a heart transplant for his son. (and by great lengths I mean he takes a hospital hostage…so yeah…GREAT LENGTHS)
Best Moment: When John Q is about to perform the ultimate act of love, sacrificing his own life for his son’s, but right before he commits the act, they find a heart.
6. Chris Gardner in The Pursuit of Happyness
This heartfelt film is carried by Chris Gardner who is played by the genius that is Will Smith. Not only is his fictional son played by his real son, but Will Smith manages to be a hero in every step of a very difficult situation.
Best Moment: When Chris and his son have to spend the night in a restroom, Chris makes the situation great by playing a riveting game of pretend.
7. Bryan Mills from Taken
Say it with me now … “I don’t know who you are. I don’t know what you want. If you’re looking for ransom, I can tell you I don’t have money but what I do have are a very particular set of skills…” If that doesn’t say badass dad, I don’t know what does.
Best Moment: *See above*
8. Cheaper by the Dozen
Even wth twelve kids, a job as a college football coach, a wife on a book tour, and this guy still somehow manages to be father of the year.
Best Moment: When all of the kids show up at the game to support their amazing dad.
9. Daddy Warbucks in Annie
It took some time to soften him up, but once Annie found her way into Daddy Warbucks’ heart, there was no getting out of there. I know what you’re thinking… “you only want Daddy Warbucks to be your dad so that you can live in a mansion,” and all I have to say is…you’re absolutely right.
Best Moment: “I Don’t Need Anything But You.”
