Movie dad you will never forget. Or some you may try to! Who is your favorite? Atticus Finch is at the top of my list, but Eugene Levy in American Pie slays me.

My dad is great, but he never made a movie. How about Spencer Tracy in Father of the Bride?

    Hello, my Liberal friend! I had to stop by to visit you this morning.

    Also, Spencer Tracy in "Father's Little Dividend" and "Guess Who's Coming to Dinner?"

    There are many of whom I can think of as great movie dads. But, I don't know if they are of the same type as listed on the article. Also, mine are from decades ago. lol

    Brian Keith, Henry Fonda, Jane Austen's Mr. Bennett, etc..

    You should do an article on television dads, too.

    Good to see you, Neenie.

    Ooh, Mr. Bennett! Great one! Different ones keep popping into my head. And Spencer Tracy in "Guess Who's Comin to Dinner?" came to my mind as well. There are so many. What about Ryan O'Neal in "Paper Moon"? LOL.

    How are ya?

      How are ya?

      I am doing great, thank you. I'm truly doing good.

      I must confess that I have never seen Paper Moon. I have never been a big fan of Ryan O'Neal so I have never seen the film.

      Stay safe here on the Vine! lol

      Wonderful! I'm so happy for you. Let's get girlie Steph on the right track and party! I worry about sweetie pie.

        I have been talking to her off-NV but as you know, a person must first choose to accept to follow the path that will take them to a better place. Not a perfect place, but a better one.

        No, we will not give up on one of our friends.

        True. I sometimes find it frustrating and painful to "watch". I was her age when things really started to go downhill. I think about her a lot. She is not on the road alone.
