《恋爱假期》

  The Holiday 《恋爱假期》:格雷厄姆·辛普金斯

  When heart-broken Amanda Woods, played by Cameron Diaz, decides to do a house swap with a woman in England, she meets one of our favorite single dads—Graham, played by the dashing Jude Law. The widowed father of two little girls revolves his life around his daughters' happiness, indulging them in everything from building a dreamy indoor fort to playing "Mr. Napkin Head" each night of the week. This dad won our hearts as much for his adorable parenting skills as for his disarming smile。

  Mrs. Doubtfire 《窈窕奶爸》:丹尼·希拉德/道菲尔太太

  It comes as no surprise that this father made our list for going above and beyond his fatherly duty. Daniel Hillard disguises himself as a 60-year-old widow from England so that he (or, shall we say, "she") can act as his own children's nanny at his ex-wife's house—an act of devotion like we've never seen. The task isn't easy and juggling panty hose, wigs and dentures is all part of what he endures to see his children. We say, "Do it like a lady!"

  Definitely, Maybe 《确定地可能》:威尔·海斯

  Will Hayes is in the middle of a divorce, an event that prompts his daughter Maya, (Abigail Breslin), to become curious about who her dad dated before he married her mom. In order to tone down his romantic past, Will tells her the story of three different women—never letting on which is her mother—and ends up teaching her that love isn't as easy as it sometimes seems. The experience brings this cute father-daughter pair closer as they discover things they never knew about each other。

  Love Actually 《真爱至上》:丹尼尔

  In this film about love stories, Daniel plays a recent widower who has been left to care for his stepson, Sam. In addition to coping with the loss of his wife, he is also trying to teach his young son about the fickle ways of love. Daniel comforts Sam when he learns his school-crush, Joanna, is moving from England back to the United States, but together they devise a plan to catch Joanna at the airport so Sam can tell her his true feelings. Simultaneously, Daniel and his son begin to find love again。

  Jersey Girl 《新泽西爱未眠》:欧立

  When Ollie tragically loses his wife during childbirth, he has no choice but to raise their daughter Gertie by himself. He decides to move from Manhattan to his father's house in New Jersey, and after a series of ups and downs, workaholic Ollie finally realizes that raising his daughter is more important than anything else. He endures challenging diaper changes, Gertie's colic and the loss of his job, but they both soon learn that they are the most important thing in each others' lives—and that nothing can ever come between them。

  Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade 《夺宝奇兵3之圣战奇兵》:亨利·琼斯

  Professor Henry Jones has a lot to learn about being a father. While his son Indiana did a fine job of growing into an accomplished professor and explorer, his dad always put work before his son. For Indy's latest adventure, he must rescue his dad and then help him find the Holy Grail. The two run into some trouble along the way, but both men soon discover that there is more to life than the wild dreams of discovery that they've been chasing。

  Sleepless in Seattle 《西雅图夜未眠》:山姆

  Sam Baldwin is an architect who just lost his wife to cancer and recently moved to Seattle with his son, Jonah, to start a new life. Tired of watching his dad try to find love with the wrong women, Jonah shares their story on a talk radio show. Of course, his dad doesn't believe that Annie—a woman who contacts him after listening to the show—is the one for him, so Jonah takes matters into his own hands. Though Annie and Sam eventually meet each other, the more touching story is the bond between this devoted father and son。
