t’s Father’s Day on Sunday, so why not celebrate the old man with some
movie dads who showed up for their kids in all kinds of ways? From the
everyday support to the extraordinary lengths they go for their children,
these dads have what it takes.
Guido Orefice, “Life is Beautiful” (1997)
— This might be the most heartbreaking
film on this list. Roberto Benigni directed,
co-wrote and stars as Guido, a Jewish-Ital-
ian who woos and marries schoolteacher
Dora (Nicoletta Braschi). They have a son,
Giosue (Giorgio Cantarini) and live a gen-
erally happy life until they are separated
when they are captured and sent to Nazi
concentration camps. Guido is able to stay
with Giouse and protects him as best he
can from the horrors of the camps by mak-

Both heartwarming and heart-wrenching,
the Italian film earned Benigni an Oscar for
Best Actor and picked up Best Foreign Lan-

it on HBO Max or rent it on Amazon Prime,
Apple TV, Google Play, Vudu or YouTube.
Marlin, “Finding Nemo” (2003) — How
far would you travel to find your kid? Any
good parent would go as far as necessary if it
meant getting them back. For the clownfish
Marlin (voiced by Albert Brooks) the jour-

But he perseveres, meeting new friends,
facing untold dangers and adventures along
the way. Marlin takes it all on in the hope of
seeing Nemo again. Stream it on Disney+ or
rent it on Amazon Prime, Apple TV, Google
Play, Vudu or YouTube.
Peter, Michael, Jack, “Three Men and a
Baby” (1987) — Sometimes parenthood is
thrust upon you. For these three bachelors
and roommates, life was a party. But when
Jack (Ted Danson) is away, a baby arrives
on their doorstep that is supposedly his.
Peter and Michael (Tom Selleck and Steve
Guttenberg) immediately begin caring for
baby Mary thinking she is a package Jack
told them to expect. She wasn’t, and the ac-
tual package (heroin) is wanted by drug
