Anthony Head as Sir Walter Elliot in 'Persuasion' (2007) father to three daughters. Stupid, shallow, vain, conceited, arrogant, spiteful, irresponsible and talentless (apart from his deportment).

Darth Vader...The Empire Strikes Back

Here, let me give you a hand, err, the one I just cut off your body, son.

reply

You get it!

Hey, at least he tried, in his own overlordish way. Generational problems, am I right? (^X^)

Mufasa - The Lion King
Daniel Hillard - Mrs. Doubtfire

Mufasa, lthe first on-screen death of a parent children of an entire generation saw to make them cry. I know I did. A father to us all.

reply

Mufasa's death was brutal and it knocked Bambi's mum's off-screen death off the top of the list.
My son always made me fast forward through it and I was happy to do so!

reply

I did, too. We all did, let's just admit that right now.

reply

Oh and Bill Nighy as Viktor the daddy of all the vampires in 'Underworld' (2004).

He was a bit distracted at the time but I love Richard Dreyfuss in Close Encounters of the Third Kind

He's the jerk you'd want on your side and, by golly, he's going help you get to Walley World come hell or high water.

reply

Exactly!
