"Hollywood movies thrive on conflict, and viewers have seen a host of fathers made memorable for the worst of reasons. In the name of (un)fatherly spirit, Stacker combed through film history's horrible fathers and highlighted 12 feature films that met a certain threshold of greatness. To qualify, the movie had to have at least 10,000 IMDb user votes and either an IMDb user rating of at least 7.0 or a Metascore of at least 75. The list was compiled to cast as wide a net as possible to touch on obvious and not-so-obvious flicks alike. Unfortunately, not every memorable movie father could be included on this list. These movie patriarchs certainly make for fascinating entertainment, but it's good to know that, as the final frame flashes, viewers can eventually return to real life, where dads, more often than not, do their best for their children." - stacker.com
