_Three Men and a Baby_ is more of a comedy, but there are still some touching father/infant daughter scenes in there.

You better believe it. That part toward the end where they show how each man is missing Mary is heartwrenching, especially when Peter finds that impossibly tiny hard hat on his desk!

I’m not a manly weeper with a daughter (I’m actually a childless female), but I heartily second (or third or fourth) _Mulan_ and _A Little Princess_ (the newer one, that is). Two of my favorite movies ever.

I’d also like to add _My Neighbor Totoro_. It’s not really a tear-jerker, I guess, but it’s an awesome movie with father/daughters dynamic.

Even though Nemo is a boy, I’d say _Finding Nemo_\* would get any parent. Also _Life is Beautiful_. [c]Cionderella Man\* shows how far a father will go for his family, although he has two kids.
