Movie Film Trivia

Will Smith and his son Jaden both 'starred' in one of cinema's great turkeys, After Earth, playing father and son.

Charlie Sheen and his father Martin played son and father in one of the most acclaimed films of the 80s, Wall Street.

I wonder how many such on screen relationships have been portrayed by actual parents and their children? Who even comes to mind? I could just google it, but it would be more fun to see who y'all can add to the list.

I knew that Ben Stiller always found a small role for his dad in the movies he directed, but playing father and son - I wasn't sure.

The son playing the father and vice versa. Nice.

Not exactly the same thing, but (domestic abuser) Shia LaBeouf played his own abusive father in the film he wrote about his childhood, Honey Boy.

The 1980 (underappreciated) film The Long Riders about the James gang, featured four sets of acting brothers playing four sets of brothers.

David, Keith and Robert Carradine played the Younger brothers. James and Stacy Keach played the James brothers. Randy and Dennis Quaid played the Miller brothers. And lastly, Christopher and Nicholas Guest played the Ford brothers.

I know it's poor form to quote one's own post, but I just remembered this from a couple of years ago, in this very thread. It seems especially pertinent to the present discussion.

That's a reach. I was referring to movies involving father-mother-son/daughter. That's specifically a nuclear family.

Are you suggesting the video descriptions on pornhub are disingenuous?

In the 1992 film 'A League of Their Own' the girls recruited into the female baseball teams during World War 2 are given deportment and elocution lessons, similar to a finishing school. One scene shows the girls being taught to cross their legs correctly, the lady running the class saying that 'a lady reveals nothing.' To this, one of the players Kit Keller (played by Lori Petty) bursts out laughing, with her older sister Dottie (Geena Davis) trying to get her to quieten down.

Originally, Kit was not supposed to laugh here, but Lori Petty found the line so amusing that she genuinely laughed, and director Penny Marshall liked this genuine reaction from the actress so much it was kept in the film.

The Conjuring series of movies feature a haunted doll named Annabelle, the doll taking an active part in a number of the movies, and seen in the background of the museum of haunted objects ran by Ed and Lorraine Warren in others.

In real life there is an allegedly cursed Annabelle doll kept in the Warren's occult museum, but unlike the doll seen in the movies which is a standard doll wearing clothing from the late 1800s, the real Annabelle is a Raggedy Ann doll. The Raggedy Ann trademark/patent would be a valuable one, so it is possible that those who hold it would not want it associated with horror and therefore the change, although a girl is seen with an actual Raggedy Ann doll in one of the movies which is kind of strange.

Annabelle is not the first time a haunted doll is featured in horror fiction. Years before in a 1961 'Twilight Zone' episode a bitter stepfather is angry that his wife purchased her daughter an expensive doll named 'Talking Tina', a parody of 'Chatty Cathy'. Things go from bad to worse when the doll begins to take on a life of its own, eventually killing the stepfather by sending him down a flight of stairs, breaking his neck. The really strange thing is that the wife/mother in this Twilight Zone episode is named Annabelle.
