Meet me in St. Louis I love it, but oh man watching it last year when I was leaving my home state of NC to move to MI.... oh I wish my husband would of turned into Ames! LOL <br />My actual favorite movie Dad is Darren McGavin as Ralphie's Dad in A Christmas story! He portrayed such the classic ideal realistic dad of our great USA! How can you not just love Darren McGavin in this role!<br /><br />In case you don't know who I am.. I am thirtysomething on the CFU too! :)CarolinaGirl76https://www.blogger.com/profile/06190938968011501302noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5344878851139332715.post-19322706083900507102009-09-29T00:05:53.516-04:002009-09-29T00:05:53.516-04:00I'm personally not really sure Hobbs is classi...I'm personally not really sure Hobbs is classic enough, but I wanted to include a New Frontier dad and he seemed to fit the bill...wonder what would've happened if I'd included Steve Martin from PARENTHOOD?!?The Lady Evehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11963115499930520653noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5344878851139332715.post-84173143892764622222009-09-28T22:34:47.349-04:002009-09-28T22:34:47.349-04:00I'm still hoping for HOBBS, but Leon Ames dese...I'm still hoping for HOBBS, but Leon Ames deserves some recognition for coping with that famous talking horse on MISTER ED.Rick29https://www.blogger.com/profile/08358116647815569722noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5344878851139332715.post-6211073398439411642009-09-28T22:32:50.996-04:002009-09-28T22:32:50.996-04:00This comment has been removed by the author.Paul 2https://www.blogger.com/profile/11500682719536011343noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5344878851139332715.post-44802638876492905652009-09-28T14:50:13.396-04:002009-09-28T14:50:13.396-04:00All wonderful father figures, but Clifton Webb is ...All wonderful father figures, but Clifton Webb is the one for me in Cheaper by the Dozen.
