Happy Fathers Day Weekend + Great Father Movies to Watch!!!

Whether you spend this Fathers Day weekend... going to Church, Golfing, Grilling, Playing Horseshoe, Checkers, Watching a Movie, or just Talking over Lunch or on the Phone... if you are blessed to be together, then Sharing Time with your Father on Father's Day is Greater than any Gift, especially Ties!!! (I know because I asked mine - and like most Fathers, he'd much rather have Tools!)

If you have a chance to sit back and relax... may I suggest these four TV Movies:

1. )

Dad's Home - *NEW - Premieres this Week-end on the Hallmark Channel! Stars David James Elliott from JAG. It's about a workaholic ad agency executive who has lost his wife and is then fired from his job. He soon becomes a full-time Mr. Mom and begins to realize what he has been missing by not balancing his career and family life.

This Movie Premieres among other great Hallmark Father Movies, including... Wedding Daze and Come Dance at my Wedding.






Dad's Home

2. )

Andy Hardy's Double Life (1942) - VHS - I adore Mickey Rooney in ALL of the Andy Hardy Films. When they all become available on DVD - I'll be first in line!

There is something so beautiful and special about the Hardy Family - and I adore Andy's relationship, most of all, with his Father (played by Lewis Stone), the Judge, who always gives good sound wisdom and advice.

All of the Hardy films have within them - great Father & Son Moments.

The Hardy Family

3. )

Father Of The Bride (1950) - DVD - A terrific story about a Father's feelings while his little girl plans and gets married! (I adore the Steve Martin & Kimberly Williams-Paisley Father of the Bride version, though this one is good, too!) This original 1950 version stars Spencer Tracy and Elizabeth Taylor.

4. )

Life with Father (1947) - DVD - an outstanding insight into the life of this very interesting family and of course, their strict Father, played by William Powell. The Mother is portrayed by Irene Dunne, who I also love in I Remember Mama, a wonderful Mothers Day Movie!

PLOT:

from Lifetime:

The Lifetime Movie Network Original Movie "Amish Grace" is based on a true story about the aftermath that followed the 2006 schoolhouse shooting in the Amish community of Nickel Mines, Pennsylvania.

The peaceful Amish community of Nickel Mines is forever changed when a gunman senselessly takes the lives of five girls in a schoolhouse shooting before taking his own life.

What transpires afterward takes the community by storm, as the media descend on the town and criticize its Amish leaders for their notion of unconditional forgiveness of the shooter and their outreach of support to his widow, Amy Roberts (Tammy Blanchard). Devastated by her daughter’s death, Ida Graber (Kimberly Williams-Paisley) finds herself struggling with her community’s belief in the transcending power of forgiveness. Deeply conflicted and unable to forgive the gunman and his family, Ida is tempted to leave the only life she’s ever known before re-embracing her faith.
