Based. My dad don't understand transitions, for him two people talking in a bar then cut to an apartment is utterly confuse, he asks "what happened?" and we have to explain that the people went from place A to B through the power of editing, he started to get mad and yelling "but they need to show that! People must go out of the bar, walk in the street, go to a door, enter a room..." you try to point that then the movie would that hours and he argues that "make more parts then!".
Watching The Matrix with him was the funniest shit ever.
Best Years of our Lives. He also has a very high opinion of E.T. (as do I, I grew up with it). I think it's very sad that zoomers don't seem to care for the latter, it really is an excellent film.
One of the parent's favorite activities is to watch proper old American kino on TCM and go back and forth about this-or-that minor actor or actress, until they give up and look the person up on IMDB. Last time I visited home dad stayed up late to watch Wings and I watched it with him, was a good watch. I got definite notes of the original Star Wars film in the dogfights, especially the main "bad guy" plane which was flanked by two other planes.
Dad also likes the lead in this one. Not just for the race-baity reasons, he honestly thought the black guy gave a good performance and deserved to be in a few other movies, but he just sort of disappeared.
If I had to guess its Blue Brothers but like Blazing Saddles is definitely top 5. Also Goldfinger is in there. That's his favorite Bond and he always tells the story every time the film comes up on how they he saw it in a drive in and how they would hide in the trunk to avoid paying for everyone. I do recall his all time favorite western is Hombre as well.
I don't know if it's his favorite movie but my dad watched castaway about a million times. I don't think anyone on earth has seen castaway as many times as he as
I'd also say the matrix since when he had nothing to do at work he would watch it on repeat. I always remember getting in trouble and then him saying >You seem to think the rules don't apply to you Mr. Anon
My parents are literally moronic. God, I envy boomers so much. They never had to think. Seriously, my parents can't watch anything apart from CSI like shows. They get confused when the narrative continues from one episode to another. I tried to make them watch True Detective but they were all the time confused because the timelines were changing. They are basically white Black folk who can't understand the subjunctive
Avatar. He picked one cellphone over the other over a decade ago purely on the grounds that it came preloaded with a resized rip of Avatar. I don't even know what movies he liked before that. It certainly doesn't seem like he ever liked anything else nearly as much as he loves Avatar.
No he doesn't give a shit about any of the merch. He just likes the movie a lot. He thought the sequel was pretty good but still prefers the first one. The only other movie I can recall him going out of his way to watch was Spaceballs.
This was also my dad's favorite movie.
It is concerning to me how many of the anons in this thread are posting movies which imply their parents are my age.
Not sure, he's dead.
Maybe Doctor Zhivago, he really liked that film.
He also liked Road to Perdition, also liked Sergio Leone movies like The Good, The Bad and The Ugly.
>good lord some of you guys are fossils
well that's the beauty of age. No one escapes.
So when the kids are having VR sex instead of the real thing and talking about how grubgrob klappz HRGwbb and zit it and pop it zom xam and whatever fricking lingo kids will be using in 15 years and you're completely out of the loop with your antiquated lowkey vibes fr fr, you'll know and you'll die a little inside. Just like the rest of us
Where Eagles Dare, The Wild Bunch, or Duck, You Sucker!
I legitimately feel sorry for the younger generations who are growing up on not just the Internet, but social media. Cinemaphile didn't exist until I after I dropped out of college, I couldn't imaging how shitting life would been in my teens if social media was around, I would've legitimately sudoku'd.
I feel the opposite, at least shy of the social media part, only the internet part. if I had grown up without the internet then I'd just be insanely lonely, my only friend was met online and all of my entertainment and joy is spent online. I think I'd actually die of boredom without it. truly dont know how you ppl managed.
I don't know what his exact favorite movie is but I know his favorite genre, Westerns. For movie series he likes James Bond and Planet of the Apes. I might watch No Country for Old Men with him sometime this week, I think he'd like it.
My Dad has been in the army for 40 years, serving from cadets, to reserve and then full time until he reached captain and retired when they finally put him behind a desk. He reached NCO in the reserves and when he transitioned to full time he had to start all over again, but still got to NCO. He literally prestiged irl.
Literally any army movie is his favorite. He rewatches band of brothers every year while drinking whisky. He enjoyed Master of Air recently.
Somehow he's not a meathead, he owned a bookshelf of history books on war, philosophy, the Roman Empire.
kinda hard to live up to this guy. I got chad genes but I'm a shut in nerd who just likes to read.
I like reading about anon's dads. it's a really undervalued and underrated relationship in today's society.
My dad started to get Alzheimers when I was about 10. By the time I was 14 or 15 he was completely gone. He was shitting everywhere and was speaking complete gibberish.
He was a military man with a shaved head and he loved Bruce Willis and Vin Diesel movies. He would have gibberish conversations with them while watching their movies. Like he would respond after they said their lines.
>What’s your dad’s favorite movie?
I don't know. We don't talk. He never replies to me when I text to say happy birthday or happy fathers day or merry christmas except last year when he replied to my birthday greetings with a passive aggressive insult.
i don't know. he's always been passive aggressive to me as long as i can remember. sometimes not even passive. sometimes i wonder if maybe i'm not his son.
Pretty much every single 007, even the shittier Craig ones but with preference for Connery (he named me after him), and the Fifth Element because he thought milla jovovich was hot in it
80 years old in 10 days, he's been watching The Godfather Part II every day at nearly all hours for almost a year now. So I imagine his favorite movie is The Godfather Part II.
I don't know.
My dad rapes me in my sleep
That's not a movie
And records it or…?
do you ever sissygasm?
how would you know if you were asleep, moron?
bigger hole
Haven’t heard of that one and it’s not showing up in IMDB. Do you know the year and director?
Humiliation ritual
Anyways, go Bears
stop acting so sexy for your dad

Watching The Matrix with him was the funniest shit ever.
>Watching The Matrix with him was the funniest shit ever.
Kek
are you and your dad both good looking? asking for a friend.
Yes
Have you ever asked him why lol you're probably asking for it bawd lol
Btw my dad's is police story or apocalypto
Idk, probably some Hindi movie.
Gladiator. I don’t see him watching movies a lot but everyone i do, it’s gladiator
He always wanted to be a fighter pilot and absolutely loves this movie, always rewatches it every year
My dad died back in October 2022
I think his favorite movie was the cat in the hat
Best Years of our Lives. He also has a very high opinion of E.T. (as do I, I grew up with it). I think it's very sad that zoomers don't seem to care for the latter, it really is an excellent film.

Blazing Saddles
Played the theme song at his funeral.
Absolute fricking kino
Dad also likes the lead in this one. Not just for the race-baity reasons, he honestly thought the black guy gave a good performance and deserved to be in a few other movies, but he just sort of disappeared.
He died shortly after.
That’s awesome anon, I’m sure he was looking up at you with pride.
yeah only half of the time though because he was spinning in his grave like a rotisserie chicken.
What an odd thing to say.
If I had to guess its Blue Brothers but like Blazing Saddles is definitely top 5. Also Goldfinger is in there. That's his favorite Bond and he always tells the story every time the film comes up on how they he saw it in a drive in and how they would hide in the trunk to avoid paying for everyone.

Das Boot
He doesn't care enough about movies to have a favorite
Don't know if this was his all time favourite but he rated this film highly
>Str8 to DVD homosexualry.
Keira was such a sexy bawd. I don't want to know what she looks like now.
Top Gun and Christmas Vacation
3 stooges
Heat or Sicario
he showed me both of them along with many other kinos, i love my dad.
I'm in love with him too.
I don't know if it's his favorite movie but my dad watched castaway about a million times. I don't think anyone on earth has seen castaway as many times as he as
I'd also say the matrix since when he had nothing to do at work he would watch it on repeat. I always remember getting in trouble and then him saying
>You seem to think the rules don't apply to you Mr. Anon
Highlander. Dude's an ex green beret, you'd think he'd be a war kino enjoyer or something but nope... he likes that immortal weeb shit.
what did he say when those green berets got pasted recently?
Either The Good, the Bad and the Ugly or Easy Rider.

be nice to ur parents anon, you'll miss them when they’re gone
Man has taste I will give him that.
Don't know, he seems to just watch anything. If I had to guess my mum's it would probably be one of
>Jaws
>Stand By Me
>Unforgiven
Bless her 🙂
LOTR, thinks the 3rd one is the best
>thinks the 3rd one is the best
Holy shittasteola. Two Towers or bust.
fellowship is the correct choice and the superior film in every way. Even the effects are better somehow despite it coming out in 2001
they were shot all at once but probanly because they rushed the post production side of the cgi the last 2 films.
I never met my dad. I'm white (Irish) btw.
monty python and the holy grail
The only movie I've heard my dad mention more than once is Apocalypto
Avatar. He picked one cellphone over the other over a decade ago purely on the grounds that it came preloaded with a resized rip of Avatar. I don't even know what movies he liked before that. It certainly doesn't seem like he ever liked anything else nearly as much as he loves Avatar.
Did he ever go on a cruise because there was a guy dressed up as Avatar and he wanted to get his photo taken with him?
No he doesn't give a shit about any of the merch. He just likes the movie a lot. He thought the sequel was pretty good but still prefers the first one. The only other movie I can recall him going out of his way to watch was Spaceballs.
Boomers are literally moronic holy shit
Does you dad post on here, by chance?
The only place he posts is the DIY and offtopic sections of motorcycle forums.
Being There
This was also my dad's favorite movie.
It is concerning to me how many of the anons in this thread are posting movies which imply their parents are my age.
My old man is 83.
Mine would have been 76.
My dad passed away from a heart attack when I was 18. He watched The Patriot a lot.
My dad loves this movie and also has heart issues (not americans).
Not sure, he's dead.
Maybe Doctor Zhivago, he really liked that film.
He also liked Road to Perdition, also liked Sergio Leone movies like The Good, The Bad and The Ugly.
Dadza loved Chuck Norris, Stalone, Eastwood movies. Had them all on VHS which he copied from the video store
t. gen x
>t. gen x
i didnt know my dad browsed Cinemaphile
you winning son?
You know that meme that goes "Don't forget, you're here forever!"
It's true. Been here since 2005. There is no escape.
i was one year old in 2005, good lord some of you guys are fossils
Cinemaphile itself is an internet fossil, a rare remnant of a bygone age.
>good lord some of you guys are fossils
well that's the beauty of age. No one escapes.

The Godfather
But when I was younger I remember he also kept a VHS with Gia and Species on it, I guess he really liked theses movies too, I wonder why
Leon the Professional
Hard Candy
Buffalo 66
No one over the age of 30 has seen Buffalo 66'
>No one over the age of 30 has seen Buffalo 66'
the film is 30 years old
Hey Anons out there reading this threads about dads that its not your fault .
Hondo
Godzilla vs Mechagodzilla 2 the fricking dweeb
Lawrence of Arabia
I think it's Men in Black but he also loves Blazing Saddles and Christmas Vacation.
Probably A Christmas Story. He had a Red Ryder as a kid and bought me one when I was 6 or so. He was already 18 when the movie came out.
Blade Runner and the first Lord of the Rings. He was a homosexual.
My dad loved the following movies:
Dune
Blade Runner
A River Runs Through It
I miss him bros
Probably just the original star wars trilogy, and various 70s scifi movies that predated it
Honestly, I like it too.
That's unironically a good move for all ages. I don't know why but it really has aged quite well. Even add zoomies could probably enjoy it.
Never asked but he really likes The Fifth Element.
I don't know what his exact favorite movie is but I know his favorite genre, Westerns. For movie series he likes James Bond and Planet of the Apes. I might watch No Country for Old Men with him sometime this week, I think he'd like it.
Nobody, The Patriot, Equalizer, Hardcore Henry. He rewatches his favourite scenes quite q bit.
and he doesn't even like baseball
Go have a catch, anon.

that and dances with wolves
and also Charlie and the Chocolate Factory (the Gene Wilder version)
fricking hell i miss my old man

Dad: Goodfellas
Mom: My Big Fat Greek Wedding
Scarface. He's a migrant so I guess he projects
"She's Got Cum Spiderwebs On Her Face"
cool hand luke
Princess Bride and Gladiator. He never talks about movies but those are the two I remember him watching over and over.
My Dad has been in the army for 40 years, serving from cadets, to reserve and then full time until he reached captain and retired when they finally put him behind a desk. He reached NCO in the reserves and when he transitioned to full time he had to start all over again, but still got to NCO. He literally prestiged irl.
Literally any army movie is his favorite. He rewatches band of brothers every year while drinking whisky. He enjoyed Master of Air recently.
Somehow he's not a meathead, he owned a bookshelf of history books on war, philosophy, the Roman Empire.
kinda hard to live up to this guy. I got chad genes but I'm a shut in nerd who just likes to read.

My dad started to get Alzheimers when I was about 10. By the time I was 14 or 15 he was completely gone. He was shitting everywhere and was speaking complete gibberish.
He was a military man with a shaved head and he loved Bruce Willis and Vin Diesel movies. He would have gibberish conversations with them while watching their movies. Like he would respond after they said their lines.
How old was your dad when you were 10?
I would rather die than live with Alzheimer's.
>What’s your dad’s favorite movie?
I don't know. We don't talk. He never replies to me when I text to say happy birthday or happy fathers day or merry christmas except last year when he replied to my birthday greetings with a passive aggressive insult.
what did you do to piss off ur dad? are u gay or something?
i don't know. he's always been passive aggressive to me as long as i can remember. sometimes not even passive. sometimes i wonder if maybe i'm not his son.
That's what I do to my dad.
Pretty much every single 007, even the shittier Craig ones but with preference for Connery (he named me after him), and the Fifth Element because he thought milla jovovich was hot in it
Mystic River
National Lampoons Christmas
Rain Man
Les Miserables (2012)
The Secret Life of Walter Mitty
Dumb and Dumber
>Mystic River
Has he ever said why? That's a weird fricking movie to be your favorite.
Because of the boy rape. It's kino.
I see.
Die Hard with a Vengeance / Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade / The Rock, pretty much a tie
I'm not sure honestly. Probably Ken Burns Civil War.
My dad is a massive Lynchgay and loves Blue Velvet.
Muppets Save Manhattan
Little Shop Of Horrors
Grumpy Old Men
Why does Kermit not have a penis?
He's a northerner that moved to London. So I think he's self inserting a bit
my what?
80 years old in 10 days, he's been watching The Godfather Part II every day at nearly all hours for almost a year now. So I imagine his favorite movie is The Godfather Part II.
bridge on the river kwai
Dad also died of cancer.
Titanic
no idea
i know he loves pulp fiction, old james bond, and elvis movies
His favourites are the Quiet Man, Lawrence of Arabia, It's a Wonderful Life and The Guns of Navarone. We watch at least two of them every Christmas.
