top 10 movies for men

[soccerboy9]

ok i am looking for the top 10 manliest movies around and would like a little help. my number one pick would be pulp fiction but what else is out there that is on that level? thanks.

[astroglide]

i don't think pulp fiction is anywhere near the top 10 for manliest movies. somebody's going to make a joke about deliverance i guess. something like braveheart.

[Patrick del Poker Grande]

One way to define a manly movie is if men watch it but women won't. The one popular movie that I can think of right away that all guys like but most girls hate is Swingers. Also, Party Animal is a great, yet quite unknown movie which no girl will watch all the way through.

[M2d]

Used Cars

[thirddan]

not sure what your criteria is, but...

animal house
old clint eastwood movies
steve mcqueen movies
raging bull

"The one popular movie that I can think of right away that all guys like but most girls hate is Swingers"

every guy i know with > 1/2 a testicle hated swingers.

[offTopic]

If you're talking about a so-called "guy" movie where, you start talking about it with one of your buddies, and the wife/gf rolls her eyes and leaves the room, I submit (in no particular order and cutting across several genres and time periods):

- The Hunt For Red October
- The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly
- Enter The Dragon
- The Longest Yard (the original)
- The Wild Bunch
- Predator
- Dirty Harry
- Happy Gilmore
- The Big Lebowski
- New Wave Hookers /images/graemlins/grin.gif

[The Dude]

The Godfather.

Whoever said Happy Gilmore is a moron.

[istewart]

Fast Times at Ridgemont High
Silence of the Lambs

Striking similarities there, eh?

How much more of a testosterone flick can you get than a movie that combines guns and the undead?

Good one, Die Hard III is better IMO. Both are classics though.

I haven't seen the Omega Man, but I hear it's pretty manly. It's next on my to watch list.

Any movie including male-rape cannot be considered manly. Both Pulp Fiction and Deliverance would be eliminated. Not a joke, but I suspect we are on the same page.

[Tron]

Fight Club is real, REAL manly. Of course, there's the gratuitous and sometimes disturbing violence which is a big turn-off for the females. Most women, even those that are into action or horror films find the violence way too personal and excessive to handle. Also, there's only one signifcant female character in the movie. It also reinforces manly things, like causing trouble and drinking beer /images/graemlins/grin.gif Yeah, my vote goes to Fight Club.

Stone Cold may be the funniest (in an unintentional way) movie I've ever seen. A fine choice.

(And I think Goodfellas should be on the real list pertaining to this thread.)

[A_C_Slater]

Spartacus ....and it's not even close. /images/graemlins/blush.gif

[felson]

The Untouchables

[Stork]

Big Trouble in Little China, and it's not even close.

[Bluffoon]

I can't believe no one has mentioned the Terminator.

[tolbiny]

I am sorry Inthacup-
I didn't mean to offend you.

[tolbiny]

"And I think Goodfellas should be on the real list pertaining to this threa"

Dude- they show goodfellas on lifetime... why, i don't know, but for some reason someone thinks chicks love that movie.

[tolbiny]

i was wondering who would bring up swartzaneger. I do think that conan the barbarian is a better choice, or predator for "guy" movies (though the terminator is a better movie overall).

Bruce lee movies are great aswell- but its really hard to argue with big trouble in little china. real hard.

[thirddan]

worst mob movie ever...even worse than mobsters...

[nothumb]

Unforgiven.
.
.
.
.
and down the list a ways,
The Godfather
The Good, the Bad and the Ugly
Rocky
Rambo: First Blood
Apocalypse Now
Full Metal Jacket
Fists of Fury
Dolemite

...my girlfriend saw this list and said "Bull Durham," but she clearly doesn't know what she's talking about.

Never realized this. I have been forced to watch this movie by random females twice (my roomate had it at my apt.) Anyway, hooked up on both occasions so I guess that could be a good indication of what type of girl likes the movie.

Manly movies? Given your handle, I would suggest Lady Bugs.

Ok, for everyone who is saying Fight Club, it can't be on the list if one of the metrics of a good guys movie is that chicks don't watch it. For that matter, any movie with Brad Pitt can't be on the list, period.

Secondly, Fight Club is really just about a group of repressed gay men (or at the very least contains *tons* of overtones to that effect) but I'm sure you guys all know this already anyway. Thus, it doesn't make a very good 'manly man' movie, unless such a manly man is a repressed homsexual (which is probably not too uncommon for overly manly men).

Clint Eastwood's movies seem like solid picks as the characters he plays are the quintessential 'manly men' according to American ideals.

Or any movie starring Jenna Jameson, /images/graemlins/tongue.gif.

Bull Durham, like Jerry Maguire, is a chick movie disguised as a guy movie (although I personally found Bull Durham to be eminently more watchable).

Good call on Unforgiven. That movie either spent $0 on makeup or it had a huge makeup budget to make it look like no one was wearing any. /images/graemlins/smile.gif

[TimTimSalabim]

The original Mad Max, yes. The one "con Tina Turner", no.

No Road House? "Pain don't hurt", that line right there makes it the #1 manliest movie of all time.

And I'm not sure what there is not to get. My point is that the movie has very strong overtones that it's really about a group of repressed, gay men (rather than just a group of repressed, non-gay men).

I've never seen the movie. She just likes that annoying guy. She made me watch the other movie he's in "Made". She thinks it's funny, I don't. Never seen party animal. Is it a 1984 movie? No picture of it on imbd.

One of mine as well....but it doesn't count because lots of chicks like this movie. Johnny Depp, duh? Goodfellas is shown on lifetime because it fits into the "women in abusive relationships" theme. If you pay attention you'll notice that half the movie is narrated by the Main charachter's wife. And half the movie deals with their relationship issues.I agree that Fight Club could not be more blatantly homoerotic.


Maybe a movie like Bloodsport could make the list? I like Mad Max as well but maybe the Mel Gibson factor eliminates that one as well. Terminator is a good pick. I can't see too many women liking that one. Braveheart? Gladiator? Saving Private Ryan? American Psycho?

No... I know what numer one is now. It's Scarface and it's not even close. /images/graemlins/smirk.gif

Yeah - it's very 80's. The IMDB description/review makes it sound uber-gay, but it's really nowhere near as retarded as the idiot on IMDB makes it sound. Well, to be fair, it's not a "good" movie, but it's not bad in the way the guy on IMDB makes it sound like it would be. It's not a popular movie by any means, though. I've never seen it in any store or rental place - I've only seen it in a college friend's movie collection. There are a few copies on E-bay (http://search.ebay.com/the-party-animal_DVDs-Movies_W0QQfkrZ1QQfromZR8QQsacatZ11232), though. Note that the one with the picture of the box just copied the same gayrod description that IMDB has.

The author of the book, Chuck Palahniuk, is gay and homosexual themes run through most of his works. I think it's there in the movie, but more subtle.

I wholeheartedly agree. I finally bought the Apocalypse Now Redux and got FMJ on a 2-fer at Best Buy. My wife has absolutely no interest in watching either of them. In fact, you might say she has anti-interest. They showed Apocalypse Now in my high school social studies class. That was awesome - surprising, but awesome.
