Summary
The A.V. Club used its weekly AVQ&A to ask readers and staff what counts as the most "dad movie" ever for Father's Day weekend.
Two featured answers point to familiar dad-movie territory: Ford v Ferrari, James Mangold's 2019 Le Mans drama, and 1994 prison classic The Shawshank Redemption.
The write-ups frame the category around underdog stories, historical dramas and crime epics, with Ford v Ferrari praised for its true-story car-guy appeal and Shawshank for its basic-cable durability.
The outlet also invited readers to post their own picks in the comments and submit future pop-culture prompts by email.
