Father's Day: Some Great Film Fathers

Fathers are well-depicted in these films:

• Friendly Persuasion: Gary Cooper as the Quaker patriarch. Silent strength.



• Taken: Retired CIA agent Liam Neeson racks up a major body count to rescue his daughter.



• Finding Nemo: Nemo's dad (Albert Brooks) fends off sharks and jellyfish to find his son.



• A Christmas Story: Darren McGavin played one of the most realistic dads.



• To Kill a Mockingbird: Atticus Finch (Gregory Peck) sets a high bar for great fathers.



• Fiddler on the Roof: What father doesn't identify with Tevya?
