    These are all indeed great movies to watch with you dad on father’s day. We have never seen The Judge so we will have to watch this one. Thanks for sharing the awesome father’s day movies.

  2. As happy as I can to relive my memories with the other movies there, The Judge was one drama that I cried and felt all emotional. I fully recommend it for some mystery as well, and there are also funny moments with it!

  3. These are all awesome movies, I’ve watched all of them and they definitely are perfect for Father’s Day. If I had to pick one, it would be Mrs. Doubtfire. I really love these movies but we all know that dads aren’t always game for drama.
