In our last fight we discussed movies that failed as a result of thier own poor decisions. Shannon was the winner out of the gate with the Christopher Nolan vanity project known as Oppenheimer. This week she asks:
What is the most encouraging parenting movie?
Fight it out.
The Rules:
Post your answer as a comment. Make it clear that this is your official answer, one per member.
No profanity. No pornography.
Defend your answer in the comments and fight it out against other MFC members’ answers for the rest of the week.
Whoever gets the most likes on their official answer comment (and only that comment) by Saturday wins the fight. You may like (heart, whatever) as many answers as you want.
The winner gets the honor of posting the next question the following Monday.
In the case of a tie, the member who posted the question will decide the winner.
Notes:
Only movies will qualify (no TV shows, or documentaries); however, films that air on television or streaming (BBC films, a stand-alone mini-series) will qualify.
Your answer can be as off-the-wall or controversial as you’d like. It will be up to you to defend it and win people to your side.
Fight it out.

The good news is Hollywood is so skilled peddling the tripe there's not an overwhelming amount of choices depicting good parenting.
I'm going with Finding Nemo. A parent that will go that far and endure so much discomfort? That's a sacrificial love I can get behind. The fact that Marlin is on his own journey of healing and growing is an added bonus as far as I'm concerned.
I’m gonna say…Mom’s Night Out, which I’ve mentioned before, but in the parenting realm it manages to be relatable and hilarious without also being depressing and devaluing of children, which is how Hollywood often spins parenting chaos.
