Bad Dads -- The Worst Movie Fathers Ever
Dads Dumb, Devious & Just Plain Deranged
Think your dad has some shortcomings? We bet your father never came after you with an ax, bedded your best friend, or ruled over an evil intergalactic empire (we apologize if he has indeed done any of the above). We polled users to find out who they think is the worst movie dad of them all. Click through to see the results.

What about the stepfather (I forget the actor's name) in "A Boy's Life?" That was an early Leonardo diCaprio movie, in which he played the boy.

hasn't anyone seen the movie "The Color Purple?" The father Albert played by Danny Glover is definitely top 5.

How in the WORLD could you for get "At close range" w/the Penn brothers, and Christopher Walken as the FATHER????? Come on...the Father kills one son, and tries to kill the other.

I agree with chloworms - Christopher Walken plays the worst dad ever! Not only does he kill one son (and a couple of their friends, after making them dig their own graves!), and tries to kill the other, he uses both sons as grunts in his crime syndicate, AND he rapes one son's girlfriend. One of Walken's creepiest roles - and that's saying something!

BTW that was in Monster's Ball! (Billy Bob and Heath)

OMG! YOU FORGOT THE WORST DAD EVER! BILLY BOB THORNTON ,PLAYING HEATH LEDGER'S DAD! GAWD,,,,,,,,,,
Elaine at 10:08PM on Jun 29th 2008
Im sorry, but this list is INCOMPLETE without mentioning TERRY O'QUINN IN "STEPFATHER".
Lou at 6:19PM on Jul 7th 2008
what about joe kingman from gameplan
alex at 8:18PM on Jul 10th 2008
I really don't think that Vito Corleone should be on this list....Michael Corleone sure, but not Vito. In the mafia world, according to those movies, he was the one doing things...I don't want to say the right way, but still a bit better than the other heads of families. His kids were the ones that wanted him to get into the drug rackets and everything, and he says at one point in the film that he wants whats best for his kids...I dunno, that's just my opinion, people may disagree but I think there are movie dads that are way worse that should be on here.

Why didn't Danny Devito make worst dad lists from Matilda? He treated the girl like crap and taught his son how to rip people off by selling faulty products. Plus after all Matilda went through to save him he still gave her away to her teacher (which worked for her in the end).
