Top 3 Movies on Father’s Love to Watch on Father’s Day 2012

The peak of summer movie is approaching in June, so is Father’s Day 2012. As a day celebrated on the third Sunday of June, Father’s Day is a day for all children to show honors and respects to their beloved fathers. Less influential than Mother’s Day as it is, Father’s Day is also of equal importance to all the children.

Unlike mother’s love which can be obviously seen, father’s love is so subtle and oblivious that many children fail to recognize. Due to this, more movies on mother’s love are made than on father’s love. However, some great movies on father’s love are still available in the DVD market. This post will show you top three movies on father’s love to watch on Father’s Day 2012.

There are several father-son moments in The Pursuit of Happiness. When Chris sleeps in the locked toilet, he covers his son’s ears so that the curses outside won’t disturb his dream.
