“Unveiling Cinematic Gold: Dad’s Ultimate Top 10 Movie Masterpiece Will Leave You in Awe!”

Imagine this: your dad, that lovable movie buff with a penchant for obscure films and a knack for turning any family gathering into a half-baked film critique session, decides to create a colossal Excel spreadsheet. This spreadsheet doesn’t just track what he’s watched over the years—it’s a veritable Netflix for dad, featuring personal ratings, Rotten Tomatoes scores, and even notes on the main stars! Now, isn’t this the type of elaborate project that makes you think, “Wow, this is peak dad behavior”? It’s not just a list; it’s a tribute to all the hours spent in front of the TV, reliving cinematic glory or cringing at bad rom-coms. One TikToker, @plantitpholiage, recently unearthed this treasure trove of dad-ness, sharing this quirky endeavor with the world. From the depths of cheesy flicks he loathed (bye-bye, Fast and Furious: Tokyo Drift) to celebrated classics, this spreadsheet embodies the kind of dedication we’ve come to expect from fathers everywhere. So, what would your personal film catalog reveal? Would The Godfather still reign supreme, or would our favorite childhood flicks pull ahead? LEARN MORE

Somebody’s dad has taken the frankly impressive step of cataloguing every single film he’s ever watched into an Excel spreadsheet containing his own personal ratings of the films.

Let’s face it, dads around the world would love to do this. Just think about your own dad and know he’d have a great time filling out the spreadsheet and all necessary details so he could have this magnum opus to refer to and be buzzing with excitement after any movie was over because that’d mean it was time to update the spreadsheet.

This stuff is peak dad behaviour, and was shared onto the internet by TikToker @plantitpholiage, who leafed through the hefty document.

She also explained how he included the Rotten Tomatoes score, the names of the main stars of the film and any other notes about it such as whether it was part of a franchise or had won an award, and every year he would print out a new and updated version of the spreadsheet.

Taking a look through the pages, he didn’t seem to be the biggest fan of movies like 27 Dresses, Good Boys or Fast and Furious: Tokyo Drift, all of which received a measly four out of 10 score.

However, in another video she responded to someone asking what her dad’s top 10 movies of all time were and she duly provided the list which came in no particular order.

The Godfather

You surely know this one. (Paramount)

The original masterpiece, and sometimes considered to be the greatest movie of all time as it follows the transformation of Michael Corleone (Al Pacino) from war hero into mafia boss as he takes up the mantle of his father, Don Vito (Marlon Brando).

It’s one of those movies you really need to set aside some time to watch and give your full attention, please don’t have The Godfather on in the background while you scroll on your phone.

The only people I have ever heard express a dislike of this movie are Peter Griffin from Family Guy and a colleague of mine at LADbible Towers who is rather young and may still have time to learn the error of his ways.

The Godfather 2

What a wholesome family interaction… (Paramount)

If you liked The Godfather then you’re going to like the sequel, though you’re under no obligation to like the third one.

This one continues the story of Michael Corleone while also jumping back in time to show us how a younger Vito (Robert De Niro) moved to America and became known as ‘the godfather’.

It was the first sequel to win the Best Picture award at the Oscars, a detail the movie cataloguing dad has no doubt entered onto his spreadsheet.

On the Waterfront

“I could have been a contender…” That’s where this quote comes from. (Columbia Pictures)

Clearly this man is a fan of Marlon Brando, because he’s here again in this crime drama as former boxer Terry Malloy, who ended his career in the ring by taking a dive for the mob.

This 1954 film is another entry on the list that cleaned up at the Oscars, though modern audiences will perhaps not know it quite as well as some of the other entries.

From Here to Eternity

Look over there, it’s Frank Sinatra! (Columbia Pictures)

Yet another Best Picture winner, it’s almost as though there are some damn good films among those that do well at the Oscars.

From Here to Eternity is a romantic drama set in the lead-up to US entry in the Second World War, with singer Frank Sinatra featuring in a supporting role.

Rocky

The original and best. (United Artists)

Sylvester Stallone’s classic underdog story of a boxer given a fight against the champion picked up the Oscar for Best Picture and kicked off a franchise which might still be going today, depending on whether another Creed movie will release.

Rocky (Stallone) gets picked for a fight with Apollo Creed (Carl Weathers) on the back of his nickname ‘The Italian Stallion’, after Creed’s scheduled opponent gets injured before the fight.

Believing he can’t win against the heavyweight champion, Rocky resolves instead to go the distance and make it to the end of the fight.

Sabrina

One of Audrey Hepburn’s great performances. (Paramount)

Another gem of 50s cinema along with From Here to Eternity and On the Waterfront, Sabrina is a romantic comedy starring Audrey Hepburn as the titular character.

She’s the daughter to a chauffeur of a wealthy family, and is in love with their thrice-married son (William Holden) who has never paid much attention to her.

Speaking of romantic comedies from the 50s with Audrey Hepburn, the next entry on the list is…

Roman Holiday

How many people bought a Vespa because of this movie? (Paramount)

This is the one that won Hepburn her Oscar, this time with her playing a princess who is out to experience the joys Rome has to offer, while striking up a romance with an American reporter (Gregory Peck).

Even if you haven’t seen the movie, you’ve likely witnessed parts if it through pop culture osmosis, and it’s the movie that made the Vespa scooter unfathomably cool.

Gaslight

The original gaslighter, assuming you’re not counting the fact it’s a remake of an earlier movie which is an adaptation of a stage play. (MGM)

You’ve likely heard the term ‘gaslighting’ at some point, this movie is all about that.

Presumably the list is referring to the more widely known American remake which released four years after the original British version.

In the story, a woman (Ingrid Bergman) begins to think that all is not as it seems in her home, much to the annoyance of her husband (Charles Boyer) as he keeps insisting that nothing is wrong and whatever is going on is all in her head.

If you know much about gaslighting then you’ll know it isn’t.

Key Largo

It’s got violence and drama, what more could you want? (Warner Bros)

Another lovely slice of crime drama makes the list, this one being more of a film noir set after the Second World War where a veteran (Humphrey Bogart) goes to pay his respects to the family of his dead friend.

However, the hotel the family runs gets taken over by mobsters and there’s a storm coming.

If I’d actually seen the film I might be able to tell you more, but I haven’t.

Vertigo

It’s considered to be Hitchcock’s finest film. (Paramount)

The iconic Alfred Hitchcock movie which was somewhat maligned when it was first released soon came to be seen in a new, far more positive light.

Now people consider Vertigo to be one of the finest films ever made, and this psychological thriller starring James Stewart as a San Francisco detective who retires when a colleague falls to his death.

However, the plot is certainly not done with him and he gets into a whole other muddle when a college friend asks the detective to follow his wife while also trying to conquer his fear of heights.
