Movies with father/daughter team ups?

Asked by Kingkamandi (149points) January 11th, 2009

What other movies can you think of that are father/daughter stories, or characters that are like fathers and daugters? My list so far includes Paper Moon, The Professional (Leon) and Matchstick Men and A Simple Twist of Fate (Silas Marner.)

Bad News Bears. It’s like a subplot, but whatever.

Duets – Huey Lewis and Gwyneth Paltrow play father/daughter karaoke hustlers.

In On Golden Pond the father and daughter are actually played by father and daughter Fondas.

Ummmmm… Is that a spoiler? Sorry, if it is.

Kingkamandi's avatar

Bad News Bears is a good one. I guess I am looking for movies where there is a defacto father/daughter relationship and not necessarily a real one.

I forgot about Swing Vote, which I saw this summer. Decent movie.

Here’s a couple of classics:
The Heiress (1949, with Olivia De Havilland), based on Henry James’s novel Washington Square
To Kill a Mockingbird (1962, with Gregory Peck), based on the novel by Harper Lee

And Father of the Bride (1950, with Spencer Tracy and Elizabeth Tayor).

Excellent film by the way.

Good one. Why didn’t I think of that one?

It was the third suggestion above.

Bri_L's avatar

@Jeruba – DAMN I missed it sorry

@breedmitch – Sorry mate

AstroChuck's avatar

Oh, breedmitch! I wish I could take that lurve back from Bri L and give it to you!

sorry, Bri L.

Jeruba's avatar

It was worth mentioning twice, though. One of the great ones.

AstroChuck's avatar
