Dads are known for a lot of things, including their ability to constantly deliver iconic quotes from classic movies.
Now, that doesn’t mean everyone will get those references; younger audiences will, unfortunately, more often than not, miss these references. That doesn’t mean they go unappreciated, though.
I, for one, do appreciate them. Not only are these classic movies that deserve to live on forever, but the quotes have become a part of everyday life for some people as well.
