If you don't at least get choked up when Ray plays catch with his father at the end of Field of Dreams, then you're a monster. It's as simple as that.

When you think about Back to the Future, you think about a lot of things: A DeLorean, time travel, Dr. Brown. What you don't really think about is the fact that it's really a story about a son trying to get his parents to fall in love. Watching Marty be utterly flustered with how much of a zero his dad is is hilarious!

The 3rd and endlessly entertaining installment of the popular franchise is truly a story about father and son. We don't see Sean Connery until about 30 minutes into the film, but when he finally appears, the chemistry between him and Harrison Ford might just be some of the best in film history.

This one is especially important to me. Not only did my dad love this film, but he and I saw the play at the Shubert Theater, which ended up being the last show we ever saw together. A Bronx Tale isn't just a story about a father, but a father figure. Not only is Calogero learning about how to be a man from his father, but he's taken under the wing of a local mob boss, whose lessons of life are equally impactful.

Al Pacino plays Michael Corleone, the son of mob boss Don Vito. When we meet him, Michael has just gotten out of the army, he's college educated and the last thing he's planning on doing is running the family business. Until his father passes away and like any good Italian son, he steps up. There are a ton of themes, but among them is the responsibilities of a son.

Awww! A cute romantic comedy with the adorable Rachel McAdams? And it's a time travel film?! How fun! Until you get absolutely side-swiped by a father/son story that will punch you in the gut.

Atticus Finch might just be the best father figure in film history. The entire crux of the film revolves around Atticus as he educates his daughter about the injustices of the segregated South. A massively important film on so many levels.

James Dean gets the most praise for Rebel Without a Cause, but it's his performance in East of Eden that is his best if you ask me. Dean gives a heart-breaking performance as a son desperate for his father's love and approval.

In Boyz n the Hood, Laurence Fishburne plays Furious Styles, a single father trying to raise his son in South Central, L.A., an environment that's filled with drugs and murder. Styles never falters to instill in his son a moral compass. Furious is one of the only positive male role models in the entire film. I can only imagine how many kids looked up to him after watching Boyz n the Hood.
