Worst Dads-

Bill Paxton in FRAILTY

Ron Eldard in BASTARD OUT OF CAROLINA

[ColinM]

I think the best movie-father to have would be Ray Liotta in Blow.

BEST

Mr Levinstein in American pie..."I have to admit, you know, I did the fair bit of...masturbating...when I was a little younger. I used to call it stroking the salami! Yeah, you know, pounding the old pud. I never did it with baked goods, but you know your uncle Mort, he pets the one-eyed snake 5-6 times a day!

Kurt's Dad in Heathers..."My son's a homosexual...and I love him! I love my dead gay son!"

On a more serious note...

WORST

Dad in The War Zone

[Antonio]

BAD COVER VERSION...great call on Ray Winstone's dispicable WAR ZONE character as Worst Father...I mean, any man who fucks his infant daughter oughta be castrated-then-beheaded!
