Does my dad have two families? Those are exactly the films he loves. Just add "The Good, The Bad, and the Ugly" and any Bond film to this list and that basically summarizes it.

Pretty much any action movie from the 80s & 90s.
Any swords & sandals movies from the 50s & 60s.

Oh and Fiddler on the Roof.


Really just a shite load of movies. Dad and I were always watching movies together.

My dad loves a good Western and some Eastwood, but I don't think he ever got too into the Bond series. I feel like every son's father should share with them one or all of the following:
Caddyshack
Blazing Saddles
Animal House

To Kill a Mockingbird

Mom went out of town for a weekend when I was like 7, and Dad brought out this jewel. Told me never to tell Mom that he had shown this to me.

Caddyshak.

I didn't see it until I was like 18, but I felt like I knew every line in the movie because my dad always quotes it, I just never realized he was. The same could be said for Animal House.

True Lies, and now every time it's on television I have to stop everything, sit down and watch it.
