Please post Bad Dad movies

[elshiva]

The first that came to mind was "The Shining." What other movies have murderous or otherwise terrible dads?

[leeroysphitz]

1. Taledega nights. n/t

[elshiva]

5. I haven't seen that, but is Ricky Bobby a bad dad or just insane?

[Gidney N Cloyd]

2. Paper Moon?

[elshiva]

4. Who is the father in that?

[Gidney N Cloyd]

9. Ryan O'Neal (plays a con man who drags his little daughter around on scams)

[elshiva]

11. But he is pretty nice to her. He's not evil.

He buys her food, talks, and sings with her.

[Gidney N Cloyd]

17. True, he's not 'evil,' just a crum.

How about 'Going Home' (1971)?

[cemaphonic]

28. speaking of Ryan O Neal

how about Barry Lyndon? Of course the stepson is an irritating little bastard too.

[Bicoastal]

3. Empire Strikes Back?

Can't get more "bad" than THIS:

[elshiva]

7. You beat me! That tops even tops the Shining.

That is Hitler dad.

[CreekDog]

39. he was just trying to teach him a lesson

establish boundaries. :think:

[Starbucks Anarchist]

6. Chinatown.

[elshiva]

8. What's the dad like in that?

[Bicoastal]

10. Let's not spoil it, m'kay?

[elshiva]

12. m'kay, I have to see Chinatown to find out.

[Starbucks Anarchist]

14. Yep, see it first.

[CreekDog]

40. i have it on my TIVO, wanna come over and watch movies?

:rofl: (i'm male) :rofl:

[cemaphonic]

24. you win the thread

[khashka]

25. Great movie

And there's one scene every gay man knows by heart and can act out. I won't give away spoilers but if you've seen it you know the one I mean.

Khash.

[cemaphonic]

29. Hmm, I'm a man and I've seen it...

perhaps the "being gay" part is crucial. Maybe a hint?

[khashka]

30. OK

I won't give away the plot, but it's the sister/daughter scene.

Khash.

[cemaphonic]

33. Ah yes,

Certainly a memorable scene.

Sounds like I missed out on some free entertainment. About half the men in our last apartment building were gay.

[WillParkinson]

35. Hrm. Gay? Check. Man? (peeks) Check...

Never saw the movie so don't know any scene in it by heart.

Do I have to turn in my gay card or my man card?

[khashka]

36. I'll let you keep both

if you just see the movie. It really is good. One of those things that got incorporated into gay culture. Like All About Eve - and don't tell me you haven't seen that or I will suspend your license to be gay!

Khash.

[WillParkinson]

37. I'll mail the cards...

Because I haven't seen that one, either.

[pokerfan]

13. The Shining

[pokerfan]

15. Nick Nolte in Cape Fear?

Or was he just a bad attorney for the defense?

[elshiva]

16. Goodness, there's a lot of movies I have not seen here

or have not seen in a while. I have not seen either the original or the remake of Cape Fear so I have no idea.

[pokerfan]

18. The original is superior

But both are creepy. Gregory Peck & Robert Mitchum in the original. Robert De Niro & Nick Nolte in the remake.

[cemaphonic]

26. hmm, never saw the remake -

I wouldn't say that Peck in the original was bad though.

But that reminds me - do stepdads count? If so, Night of the Hunter has got to be up there.

[mitchum]

19. The Great Santini

what an asshole

[recoveringdittohed]

20. Fear Strikes Out

Karl Malden as the father of baseball player Jimmy Piersall.

[AlCzervik]

21. Hot Rod, terrible but hilarious step father.

[KitchenWitch]

22. Raging Bull

[alfredo]

23. The Passion of the Christ.

[cemaphonic]

27. Sling Blade

That whole movie is about father figures - some are good, some are bad, but the bad ones are pretty awful.

[Lautremont]

31. The Hulk

Careful (the Guy Maddin film)

The Sweet Hereafter

[bluedigger]

32. Austin Powers

Scott Evil: I just think, like, he hates me. I really think he wants to kill me.
Therapist: He doesn't really want to kill you. Sometimes we just say that.
Dr. Evil: No actually the boy is quite astute. I really am trying to kill him, but so far unsuccessfully. He's quite wily, like his old man.

[CreekDog]

41. "I didn't spend six years in evil school to be called 'Mr. Evil'"

:rofl:

great scene.

[alphafemale]

34. Falling Down.

I mean you really feel bad for the guy...but :wow: :scared:

[CreekDog]

38. "Catch Me If You Can"

true story!!! :rofl:

bad dad played by Christopher Walken! :rofl: :banghead: :applause:



ps-I just pwned all of you!!! :think:

[Frank Cannon]

42. The Stepfather

Am I the only one who's seen this movie?

Starring the always incredible Terry O'Quinn.

[mitchum]

45. Damn, I haven't seen that in years...

it is a great little B movie

[JVS]

43. Happiness

[YankeyMCC]

44. The Two Towers/Return of the King

It is only one aspect of the story but Denethor doesn't exactly deserve Dad of the year for his treatment of his two sons, even though he favors Boromir that really isn't fair to Boromir either because of his love and loyalty to his younger brother.
