re: Movies you know/remember because of your dad

Also, I'll always remember the first time my dad watched Ferris Beuller's Day Off. I had seen it tons of times, but he hadn't, and when Rooney was trying to break into the house and the dog and the mud was fricking him up, I remember my dad was crying from laughing so hard. He was cracking me up.

And although not a movie, we used to always watch Columbo and the Andy Griffith Show together.

I liked my Dad's choice in Movies.Comedies and Westerns.All of John Wayne's stuff and then all of Clint Eastwood's movies,even all the "Spaggetti Westerns".

It's a Mad,Mad,Mad,Mad World,Matt Helm movies,James Bond movies.Good stuff.He liked the slapstick comedy.Dean Martin and Jerry Lewis,Abbott and Costello.

Captain Blodd, Robin Hood (Errol Flynn), Gunga Din, Charge of the Light Brigade and Zulu.

The Godfather.

I was eleven or twelve. My dad didn't like us watching violent movies or movies with adult themes. But he made a point of taking me to see The Godfather. He wanted me to know that there were real criminals in the world, and this movie showed them in a realistic light.

And it was one of my first movies where I saw boobs. (He pulled me out of my very first booby movie :) )
