Bazaar Publishes 24-Film Father’s Day Guide Exploring Diverse Fatherhood
3 articles · Updated · Harper's BAZAAR · Jun 19
Summary
Bazaar released a Father’s Day movie guide built around 24 films, framing the holiday not as a fixed canon but as a broad look at how fatherhood is lived, remembered and contested.
The list spans genres from crime dramas and comedies to musicals and sci-fi, with picks such as The Godfather, Aftersun, Moonlight, Interstellar and Mrs. Doubtfire.
Its selections emphasize multiple versions of fatherhood—tender, absent, troubled, overprotective and chosen—rather than simply recommending movies to watch with dads.
Recent and classic titles appear side by side, from It’s a Wonderful Life (1946) and The Godfather (1972) to Sentimental Value (2025) and The Iron Claw (2023), widening the guide beyond nostalgia.
