Father's Day always seems to get the short shrift. Here's just one example: while Major League Baseball offers players the chance to use pink bats on Mother's Day (to support breast cancer research), there isn't a blue bat to be found around baseball parks today. Come on, MLB! (Sorry, but wearing blue wristbands to support prostate cancer research isn't the same thing as swinging a blue bat; it's the symbolism.) Here at Movieline, though, we're equal opportunity parental lovers, and that means one thing: a chance for you to celebrate your favorite onscreen dads. Click through to get your favorite film father the digital version of that ugly tie you saw at Macy's.
Here are a handful to get you started:
· John Kinsella (Dwier Brown) from Field of Dreams, if you want to have a catch.
· Darth Vader (David Prowse) from Star Wars, if you want to lose a hand.
· Clark Griswold (Chevy Chase) from National Lampoon's Vacation, if you want to go to Wally World.
· Vito Corelone (Marlon Brando) from The Godfather, if you want an offer you can't refuse.
And plenty more where they came from. Honor the best (and maybe worst) dads on film in the comments below!
