This Father's Day give your dad what he really wants: a movie night with his favorite child (hey, it's better than another tie). Whether you are miles apart, or spending this Father's Day together, watching a movie together is a great option no matter where you are. Now all you need to do is pick one. If you've already scrolled through Netflix, Hulu also has some great movies for dads (and their kids) to enjoy together. From cult-classics like Face/Off to indie hits like Hunt For The Wilderpeople and Hearts Beat Loud, the movies on this list are full of dads having heart-to-hearts with their kids, getting involved in hilarious parental mishaps, and sometimes even saving the world. The streamer also has a terrific range of films featuring adoptive and surrogate father figures, as a reminder that dads come in many different forms.

Whether the father figure in your life is near or far this holiday, setting up a co-viewing party for one of these films is the perfect way to show him that you care — just make sure you have some tissues nearby, because Hollywood excels at making even the most nail-biting of dad movies into total weepies.
