Who Tops Your List of the Best Dads In Film?

Maryann Holloway:

I thought I’d re log this post about the role of father.

When I asked my husband this question, I was very surprised by his answers.  It lead me to realize that it depends on your point of view.  I was expecting the same answer as mine which was Atticus Finch in To Kill A Mockingbird.

I was thinking in terms of who would make a great real dad when my husband answered about a dad that truly entertained him.  He answered Arnold Schwarzenegger in Jingle All the Way.

I said “What are you crazy?  He is a total screw up and let down as a dad in that movie.  I know he came through in the end, but before that he disappointed his son time after time.”  My husband said that he was a totally entertaining dad and at least I hadn’t answered Darth Vader.
