Oh, this is some down-the-middle Dad manna right here. 

Gene Hackman. The leading Dad face on the Dad Movie Mt. Rushmore (which, to be clear, is a virtual-only Mt. Rushmore and the Dads believe in indigenous rights); first-ballot inner circle Dad movie HOFer. Requiescat in pace.

Denzel Washington. The only still-working challenger for Hackman's spot. No less than head #2 on our (virtual) Mt. DadMore. Probably our greatest living movie star. 

Tony Scott. One of the great Dad movie directors of all time. TOP GUN. TRUE ROMANCE. ENEMY OF THE STATE. Few people outside of Moms have made so many Dads happy. Requiescat in pace.

A submarine. DADS LOVE A MOTHERLOVIN' SUBMARINE PIECE!

Strap in and get ready to dive (see what I did there?) into 1995's CRIMSON TIDE!
