Best: George and... George doesn't want to see his little girl Annie grow up. Nina helps him cope with it. They're equally hilarious and adorable. (Photo: Touchstone)
Best: Shrek and ... After Shrek's initial parenthood freak-out in "Shrek the Third," everyones favorite green giant is now a dedicated dad to three baby ogres. (Photo: Dreamworks)
Best: Peg Boggs ... He had scissors for hands and she still let him hang out with her teenage daughter. That's trust. (Photo: 20th Century Fox)
Best: Daniel in ... His wife dies and he takes over the role of supportive dad, encouraging his son to put his young heart on the line. Even if it means (illegally) storming through an airport to tell an elementary school Mariah Carey wannabe you love her. (Photo: Universal Studios)
Best: Daniel Hil... A father's love knows no bounds. And from this movie we learned it doesn't discriminate when it comes to cross-dressing either. (Photo: 20th Century Fox)
Best: Mrs. Gump ... Mrs. Gump has unconditional love for Forrest and that's the way it's supposed to be. She also inspired the valuable "life is like a box of chocolates" lesson. (Photo: Paramount Pictures)
Best: Clark Gris... Sure, Clark caused a lot of trouble for his family, but he's just so darn lovable when faced with utter turmoil. (Photo: Warner Brothers)
Best: Bryan Mill... Bryan Mills takes good parenting to a whole new level when his daughter is kidnapped abroad. He hits, stabs, shoots and kills a ridiculous amount of people in attempt to rescue his 16 year old. (Photo: Summit Entertainment)
Best: Tom and Ka... Any parents who can raise 12 happy kids deserve to be on the best portion of this list. The Baker family, though hectic, is full of love thanks to the sacrifices of Tom and Kate. (Photo: 20th Century Fox)
Best: Edna and W... The Turnblads unconditional love for their daughter is clear throughout this entire film. They constantly remind her that she is beautiful at any size. (Photo: New Line Cinema)
Worst: Joan Craw... This is a case of keep your friends close and your enemies closer because you certainly don't want to get on "Mommie Dearest's" bad side. Some advice? Avoid wire hangers. (Photo: Paramount)
Worst: Peter And... Lose him once, shame on you. Lose him twice...shame on you. (Photo: 20th Century Fox)
Worst: Wayne Sza... It might be cool to have an inventor as a dad. But not when she shrinks you to the size of an ant. And then blows you up.(Photo: Walt Disney Films)
Worst: Jack Torr... Forcing your family to move to a haunted hotel and attempting to murder them definitely doesn't land you on the best parents list. (Photo: Warner Brothers)
Worst: Mama Frat... This is one mama you don't want to mess with. (Photo: Warner Brothers)
Worst: Margaret ... Talks about extremes. This horrible movie mother is convinced her daughter is the spawn of the devil. Her solution? Slam her with religion and ban her from going to prom: every young girl’s nightmare. Maybe she had the right idea about the prom thing, we all know how that turned out. (Photo: MGM)
Worst: The Baker... They forgot their own daughter's 16th birthday. Like, oh my god! (Photo: Universal)
Worst: Stifler's... It's not a stretch to say that Stifler's acting out may have stemmed from the fact that his mother paid more attention to his male friends than to him. (Photo: Universal Pictures)
Worst: Mary in '... The relationship between mother and daughter in this novel-turned-film was anything but 'Precious.' (Photo: Lionsgate)
Worst: Darth Vad... He chopped his son's hand off. Then then he threw himself into a black abyss to save him. It's really a toss up. (Photo: 20th Century Fox)
