Fathers in movies

Who do you think the best father in movies is? I just watched Kramer vs Kramer again and I think he is the best father in movies, despite the fact that his wife has left him due to his workaholic nature.

The Godfather! Seriously though, it's really difficult to decide as there are so many great father figures, even the comedy ones. In films even the bad ones end up doing the right thing I find.

I agree with you both but think the most memorable (and good) father I remember from recent years was the one who went crazy when his daughter was abducted. Now I've said that I can't remember the name of the actor or film!

Kramer vs Kramer is one of my favorite movie, and Ted Kramer is definitely one of the best fathers in movie. The character was very well created and Dustin Hoffman have excellently portrayed it. Perfect!
