An oldie but a goodie... John Wayne's McClintock... When he tells his daughter that sje is not going to inherit all he owns because there are no words to explain what happens between a man and a woman who have to overcome... (not a direct qoute, but you get the idea...)

I like the scenes from Mrs. Doubtfire. There are so many favorite scenes in this movie.

By Katherine,   From Springfield OH
Not officially a "dad" scene but in the movie Secondhand Lions, they make reference to a "What every Boy needs to know about being a Man" speech that the one uncle gives to his great nephew. I would have liked to heard the whole speech.

By Anne,   From Oreland
I have always liked the movie "Sixteen Candles". Years ago, I watched it with my dad and he told me how much he liked the dad character in the movie. He felt that the dad was the only one who "got" the daughter.

By Kris,   From Milwaukee
My favorite "dad" scenes both include Clint Eastwood. While he wasn't the biological father, he became the self-sacrificing father figure in "Million Dollar Baby" and "Gran Torino." At the end of both movies he became the one true father to the fatherless kids and my heart was broken.

Thanks for the chance to win a great set of books. You guys rock!

By Rita,   From Dinuba
In just one of many scenes of flummox... Steve Martin as the Father of the bride, tells his daughter "Drive carefully. And don't forget to fasten your condom." At which point she screams "Dad!" To which he responds, "Seat belt! I meant seat belt!" That movie has so many "dad" moments, but that one just cracked me up.

By patrick,   From mattapoisett
