For better or worse, movie fans can't help but compare their own dads with the fathers they see on the big screen, especially this time of year. Realizing that, the folks at Moviefone took a user poll and came up with some fascinating, thought provoking results. For example, Chris Gardner (Will Smith in The Pursuit of Happyness) & Atticus Finch (Gregory Peck in To Kill a Mockingbird) tied for Best Dad, while Jack Torrance (Jack Nicholson in The Shining) was a runaway winner for Worst, with Darth Vader (Star Wars) was a strong second. And who would have guessed that Clark Griswold (Chevy Chase) from National Lampoon's Vacation series and Jim's Dad (Eugene Levy) from American Pie would be so popular?
