"Twist of Fate," originally titled "A Simple Twist of Fate" (adapted from "Silas Marner") is a great "dad" film for many reasons. He is strong as granite inside and kind and sensitive outside, and absolutely resolute about being a great father to a little girl who just walked into his house one evening.
Starring Steve Martin, his good friend Catherine O'Hara, Gabriel Byrne and Stephen Baldwin (who worked together in "The Usual Suspects"), and Laura Linney. Worth a NetFlix request.
