While there’s a good chance that I’ll be outside doing yardwork on Father’s Day, it’s also a day where I can hopefully kick back and relax. If the weather doesn’t cooperate, I might try and sneak away to watch a movie.
The “dad movie” genre is a big one, usually encompassing political thrillers, sports films, crime, and ones with some sort of nautical theme. They’re the kind of movie that you can start watching mid-afternoon, doze off during the middle section, but wake up for the important bits. And, you can probably quote multiple lines from each of these movies — if not recite the entire thing line by line.
