Yeah I know women might like these movies and that’s ok. But here’s a list of what I consider to be manly movies. Anyone else have any manly movies? Hey, if people can talk about chick flicks I’m sure we can find man flicks.
A note, many of these movies have plenty of dialouge and run the emotional spectrum.
Old Yeller
Patton
A Fist Full of Dollars
Yojimbo
Seven Samurai
Rio Bravo
The Magnificent Seven
The Quiet Man
High Noon
Apollo 13
The Right Stuff
Braveheart
Fight Club
Dangit, I see Philp beat me to the “Porky’s” list…
However, I would like to think these movies are watched by adolescents who THINK of these films as "adult…or manly movies. Though many would view them as quite base…and often immature.
But we are talking about “men” here right? After all, men, are allowed to be quite base and immature…thus the “maturity” of Porkys, Weird Science, Meatballs, (and others) comes about in a self fulfilling prophecy. Aren’t us men cool that way?
To add to the list:
I second “The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly”
furthering Eastwood’s movies…
Kelly’s Heroes
Dirty Harry (all of them)
Unforgiven…
Hmmm…I see others have already nailed the best of the lot.
The crew on my submarine watched this at least once a week. It’s a great movie if just guys are around; it’s also fun to make your girlfriend/wife watch it with you. Not a good first date movie, though.
Some quotes:
“Alright you primitive screwheads, listen up!
See this? This is my BOOM STICK!”
“Good… Bad… I’m the guy with the gun.”
“Gimme some sugar, baby!”
Girl: “You found me beautiful once.”
Ash: “Honey…you got real ugly.”
