    100 (or more) Great Cinematic Fathers - An Interactive List

    The challenge is to create a gallery of 100 of your favorite cinematic fathers by the end of tomorrow (Father's Day). Creative entries are ok, but let's try to avoid clergymen like 'Father' Barry in On the Waterfront. Please follow my formatting.

    Us (Peele, 2019) ***1/2

    I've noticed a disturbing trend in this list of fathers selling and/or killing their children or molesting other people's children.
