Best father-son movies

wonderful movie, fits topic perfectly

 

Catch Me If You Can - di Caprio and Walken are both great. The film gets a bit cartoonish in places but Christopher Walken really makes it real in his scenes with do Caprio.

 

Fred McMurray my three sons ran for 12 years.
They cut a great scene where he says they have to answer for santino. Isn't that a sign of weakness? Godfather says it is.
The scene is like less stupid to cut that scene . Like Santino daughter marrying scene. 3 minutes total

 

Great father son movie.
Not true but still great

 

Agree. But some of the acting was a bit (ahem) "wooden".

 

paris, texas.

 

At Close Range (1986) -

 

i never sang for my father -1970

 

For me, totally this one:

 

Definitely vote for Indiana Jones The Last Crusade (1989)...

 

definitely shows your age... LoL... Love the movie man. ray consela inst it. If you build it, he will come.

 

The Lion King

 

Oof. But, yeah......

 

First one I thought of:

Nothing in Common
https://m.imdb.com/title/tt0091653/



Some great scenes between the two of them, and a fitting swan song for a legend (at least I think this was Jackie Gleason's last role).

 

A River Runs Through It (1992)

 

LOL, indeed it does!
Everything was right about the movie- the ages, the relationships especially. It's like this movie was made about me and and my father.

 

OK not really father and son, but in...

 

Here's another not quite father and son flick that spoke to me as a child. Adapted from a comic strip with David Janssen and Patti Page who even warbles the title tune on screen.

Dondi (1961)

 

I know it was brutal, but a good movie mainly due to the cast...

 

Kramer Vs. Kramer

 

the last temptation of christ

;-)

Solid film. It also belongs on the list of "Movies with poor, undescriptive titles".
