From action greats featuring Sly and Arnie to Harrison Ford-led 1990s thrillers, classic Westerns, and war films, here are the best Dad Movies ever.
From action movies to high-octane thrillers, Dad Movie magic is still a huge box office draw. Although somewhat nebulous as a genre descriptor, "Dad Movies" - or films that tend to appeal to middle-aged men - tend to share certain elements or themes between them. Dadcore cinema is most synonymous with the action, war, Western, and historical drama genres, and may include a certain familial or comradely element that is endearing to the dad demographic.
18 National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation The high point of the National Lampoon's Vacation series, National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation is the definitive festive Dad Movie. This makes sense, given Chevy Chase's Clark Griswold is one of the greatest movie dads, but what Christmas Vacation does so perfectly is tap into the chaos of the holiday spirit.
14 Master And Commander: The Far Side Of The World Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World was directed by Australian filmmaker Peter Weir, and features one of the best title cards to a historical war movie ever with "April - 1805. Napoleon is master of Europe. Only the British fleet stands before him. Oceans are now battlefields." Weir ensures that Master and Commander lives up to that tagline from the off, depicting 19th century naval combat in all its unforgiving misery.
11 Rocky IV The entire Rocky series has Dad Movie DNA coursing through its veins, but if any installment of the series embodies that spirit best, it has to be Rocky IV.
