Movies youve watched with you're father

I'm sure I must have watched movies with my Dad, but none are coming to mind right now. What stands out is our shared love of situation comedy. I remember watching "I Love Lucy" and "The Odd Couple" together.

 

I never watched a movie with my Dad. Shame, damn shame.

 

ALL JOHN Wayne a lot of WWII Movies that was my parents war when they were kids,mash,towering inferno,the Apple dumpling gang,the Poseidon adventure,jaws to many to list

 

Never knew my biological dad, however my Step Dad watched MANY a classic with me, the whole Pink Panther series, Lawrence of Arabia, Casablanca, actually too many movies to count. I'm guessing post would be a few hundred titles since every Friday and Saturday night was family movie night from when I was 13 to 25.

 

My Dad and I watched Band of Brothers together. He was there in WWII 101st Airborne, Screaming Eagles. I actually had my basic training the same place he had his, Fort Campbell Kentucky. I miss him.

 

The first movie I remember to watch with my dad at the cinema was "Star Wars" when I was maybe 5-6, still in kindergarten. My dad is an avid Scifi movie watcher and I got the bug from him

 

When I started Junior High, my dad started taking me to movies that my mom didn't want to see. My most vivid memory was watching Platoon at age 13. That was quite a learning experience. The craziest thing though was seeing a lady sit down a few aisles ahead of us with 3 or 4 kids all under the age of 10.

 

John Wayne movies were my Dad's favorite....I watched many with him!

 

We watched old Tarzan movies with Johnny Weissmuller every time we went to Gene's Barbershop in my hometown. I think we saw the 1930s King Kong there, too. It was a local show called "Bill Kennedy at the Movies"

 

John Wayne, all 152 of them. It took me over a year of searching every video store and mail order house I could find, but I managed to find all 152 movies on VHS. Then I got dad a nice VCR and showed him how to use it, then he moves in with me after he retired (revenge for my teen age years) and we watched them together.

 

I used to love to watch old westerns with my Grandpa Lonnie! He enjoyed them so much that I spent most of the time watching him! Especially Clint Eastwood westerns. Gramps loved him some Outlaw Jose Wales, The Good - Bad-Ugly, and more! As he got older he fell in love with Chuck Norris, Texas Ranger.. We would watch that cheese fest and then talk about how much butt Chuck kicked, and how useless his partner & girlfriend were LOL Dangit.. now there's something in my eye...

 

Any James Cagney Movie my Father liked. Mr. Roberts. The last time I heard my Father laugh waswhile he was watching that movie.

 

My father would not watch any movie with John Wayne. He said he was a slug. (Some thing to do with his draft status) When others went off to war he stayed home.

 

Really I didn't realize that I wonder if he was 4f? Or just rich parents.

 

He did more for the war effort via the movies he made during WWII than he could have on the battle field, as did many stars. Others enlisted and made movies and training films, and others enlisted and fought. All served honorably. John Wayne was one of the greatest Patriots we have had.

 

I did not say I would not watch John Wayne Movies. I just said my Father wouldn't watch them. He spoke very well about the Viet Nam conflict. (John Wayne)

Here is some more info. According to this he was too old? Who knows. All I know is my father didn't like him or his movies.

The California draft board was told to take it easy on actors and the draft basically he sent in the paper work a few times to the navy but never fell through,he was like 37yrs old 3 kid's and a rocky
Marriage he also thought if he went to war he would be to old for Hollywood someone somewhere thought by him acting in movies during the war with his tough guy persona it was a moral booster,he never liked talking about this period in his life he also got in a fight with a soldier over him not enlisting I guess other actors were in the same predicament as him and they enlisted anyway.he also had a tortured affair with a Mexican woman so I can see why your father did not like him.

 

Can't really add to the John Wayne discussion that seems to have evolved here, my dad loves old westerns and that sort of movie, but I could never get into them. I can definitely think of quite a few movies dad and I watched together outside of that, however. Pretty much every piece of the James Bond series, the original Star Wars trilogy, Indiana Jones, Mad Max, and any of the classic sci-fi movies you can think of we've probably sat and watched them at some point.
