With Father's Day approaching this Sunday, what better way to start thinking of Dad than a few movies that make you mist up at emotional father-child scenes?

Maybe you lose it when Kevin Costner finally gets to "have a catch" with his pops in "Field of Dreams." Perhaps you relate to the fantastical tales spun by the old man in "Big Fish." Or possibly you can't help but break down at Sean Penn's unwavering devotion to his daughter in "I Am Sam."

Which movies make you want to pick up the phone, dial up dear old Dad, and tell him you love him? Vote for your favorites, tell us why you chose them, and give us more suggestions!
