  • @jasminbell1475
    @jasminbell1475 9 років тому +3

    I am really surprised that the Champ isn't on the list because the bond they had as father and son is so heart wrenching and beautiful. It shows no matter what happens to them just strong their love is

  •  9 років тому +6

  • @dcswag7049
    @dcswag7049 9 років тому +5

    Real Steel popped into my head as the countdown progressed, but you know what I was really hoping would be on this list? "Over The Top." It was probably the first movie I thought of when watching this list.

    • @dcswag7049
      @dcswag7049 9 років тому

      not saying that I'm upset, just saying what I was hoping for.

  • @davidgigg6316
    @davidgigg6316 9 років тому +2

    A very good list but I think Bill Nighy and Domhall Gleeson deserve a mention for About Time. Their chemistry was incredible and they made for the best on screen father/son pairing we've seen it the last couple years.

  • @ninjaninjanesisninja
    @ninjaninjanesisninja 9 років тому +1

    I was kinda hoping to see Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close on this list. Even though the father isn't actually alive during the film, it's still a very heartwarming father-son relationship.

  • @dyson1994
    @dyson1994 9 років тому +2

    Liar Liar should have been on here... But I'm so happy and relieved that The Pursuit Of Happiness is number one, such a great yet emotional movie, has me in tears every time I see it. ☺️😔👌

  • @gutz1981

    'The Empire Strikes Back' better be on this list!

    • @Charlie-rx3ni
      @Charlie-rx3ni 2 роки тому +1

      I feel like Return of the Jedi should instead because we don’t know that Vader is Luke’s father until the end, and in Return of the Jedi, it shows the father-son relationship between Luke and Vader as they team up against Palpatine

    • @arturocastroverde3349
      @arturocastroverde3349 Рік тому +1

      Return Of The Jedi fits better because in that movie luke and vader actually cooperate like father and son

  • @matiascapdevila5038
    @matiascapdevila5038 9 років тому +1

    Excellent list WM. The pursuit of happiness or Kramer vs Kramer were my guessings for the top spot. Big Fish would have been a nice choice too.

  • @Blacktimus
    @Blacktimus 9 років тому +1

    Called No.1 before watching. Easily one of my favourite movies of all time.

  • @ALE280290
    @ALE280290 9 років тому +3

    A really beautiful list and I agree with most of it (I've seen all the films mentioned, inclused the honorable ones, and loved most of them). But for me there are a couple of unforgiving missings: Return of the Jedi and especially Mrs. Doubtfire (R.I.P. Robin).

  • @betzalel1000
    @betzalel1000 9 років тому +6

    In the name of the father with Daniel day Lewis should have been here

  • @vjgod86

    kramer vs kramer, the best father-son movie. would also include in the name of the father

  • @jdogrulez5014
    @jdogrulez5014 9 років тому +5

    Have you guys ever heard about the movie called Bicycle Thieves ?

  • @Chris-pq8md
    @Chris-pq8md 9 років тому +1

    I just think that Finding Nemo should be higher on the list. There were only father and sons in that theater when I went to see it, with my father, and I know I saw at least ten hugs on the way out. Although it was animated, this movie had an impact.

  • @moonundernostalgia

  • @theblackheart5727
    @theblackheart5727 3 місяці тому

    My son is 25 now and he didn’t meet his biological mother until 2 years ago. He didn’t like her. That’s besides the point, thank you for making a Father/Son list. Us Fathers are so important to all children. That should be expressed the same as a Mother’s importance.

  • @bcstan23
    @bcstan23 9 років тому +2

    "The Champ" 1931 and 1979, as well as "The Courtship of Eddie's Father" in 1963 should have been on the list, or at least an honorable mention.

      Why.
      Family Law is unfortunate and does not favor fathers.
      If anyone reads this. No matter what your age is.
      It is not your fault. Mothers unfortunately do not see the damage they do.
      Ask questions.
      Start by asking your guardian the truth. Ask several people older than you on what happened.
      At the very least-
      Do it for you. Not for anyone else.
      This will ensure you are successful in life.
      When and if you find him. You don't have to say a word....
      Just by you being there. It will change everything about you.
      Document your journey.
      It may inspire and possibly become something as memorable as the movies on this list.
      Godspeed.

  • @pkonolan
    @pkonolan 3 роки тому

    Perfect choice for Number 1 and what I expected. However, “Field of Dreams” should have been top 2 with easily the single most tear jerking father-son moment in cinema history with the “Hey Dad, you wanna have a catch” scene. Yet it didn’t make the list even in honorable mention?

    I'm not even really a star wars fan and am quite surprised it's not on the list. Surely it qualifies?

    I liked the movie Martian Child. It struck a note. It is one of the best feel good movies in my opinion.
