47 comments

1. Star Wars

2. The Lion King.

3. Jack Frost

4. Big Fish

5. The A Goofy Movies are freaking great at this. Talking about both coming of age and trying to maintain that father son connection.

6. Legends of the Fall, Real Steel, the Goofy movie in a weird way, lol. Umm… Honey boy, After Earth, aaand…. That’s all that comes to mind

7. Field of dreams

8. About time is amazing

9. The Road

10. The Godfather

11. Strange World

12. Nothing in Common – Tom Hanks and Jackie Gleason

    Tom is a successful executive when

    >> When his parents suddenly end their 36-year marriage, he is thrown into the role of caregiver, dealing with his delicate mother, Lorraine (Eva Marie Saint), and his combative father, Max (Jackie Gleason), who provides constant aggravation and bitter remarks. When one of his parents gets sick, David must choose what is more important, his family or his career.

    Its so ****ing real it hurts to watch.

13. Kodaline is good the judge I think it’s called with Rob Downey jr also good

14. Lord of the Rings is great for masculine affection

15. Second hand lions

16. The pursuit of happiness

17. Beautiful Boy

18. Ford vs Ferrari. Racing movie but his son’s admiration of his dad and when he dies at the end, had dirt in my eyes on that one.

19. The pursuit of Happiness

    Legends of the Fall

    Shenandoah

    How Green was my Valley

20. As a guy who grew up without a father, Guardians of the Galaxy 2 got to me a bit.

21. A big fish. Shows the transition from thinking your father is a hero to a man back to a hero perfectly.

22. Star Wars

23. As for movies I would say pursuit of happyness which explores a father/son struggling in modern day poverty & it really tore me up

    If you have time for a video game I would say the most recent 2 god of war games

24. Onward

    Although the movie is about the two brothers, the story tells a great father/ son story without any of the father.

25. Hook (Robin Williams)

26. Star Wars Episode 6: The Return of the Jedi

27. The answer is Finding Nemo.

28. Frequency from 2000. Time travel murder mystery all through the dad’s Ham radio set.

29. The Christmas Story Christmas. I know Christmas Story Christmas did not have Ralphie’s dad since he’s dead, but the movie did make me cry because of the impactful message it had about the importance of being a dad and having a dad. Ralphie went from being a kid who wanted a BB gun more than anything of the world to now being a leader of his own family and the new man of house who wants to make Christmas special for his family just the way his dad made it special when he was a kid.

    That was the REAL Christmas Story sequel we deserved than that Atrocious “sequel” we had back in 2012.

30. 3:10 to Yuma.
    Russell Crowe and Christian Bale in a western about sacrifice, the dichotomy of pride, redemption, and respect between a father and son. One of my favorites

31. Life As a House is fantastic

32. A river runs through it, though it’s more about the brothers… I think it still applies.

33. Idk if you’re a football (soccer fan) but there’s a movie called, “Goal”.

34. Wall Street you see Charlie Sheen’s character have a different set of values than his biological father, and he seeks out father figures. This is a common thing for young people.

    Last of the Mohicans.

35. Over the top. Prime Stallone and great soundtrack by Kenny loggins.

36. Frequency

37. Billy Elliot

38. Road to Perdition

39. He Got Game.

40. American Pie.

41. Boyhood

42. Love Actually. Liam Neeson and his stepson.

43. River Runs Through It

    Star Wars (Orginal Trilogy)

    Ninja Turtles (1989)

44. Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade

45. Dad

46. Treasure planet?

47. Mr. Holland’s Opus – includes a subplot about a high school band director and his deaf son – starring Richard Dreyfuss.
