Essential 'Guy' Movies..

[eloydrummerboy]

I have to admit that I haven't seen a whole lot of 'must see' movies. I just watched Pulp Fiction for the first time last night. About a month ago I saw Casablanca for the first time.

I have Netflix and drummergirl is going out of town this weekend until next Thursday, so..

What do I need to see in order to call myself a guy and secure my 'man card'?

 

[eloydrummerboy]

Also, I set you up for the parody, don't let me down..

 

[cfgsteak]

Die Hard

Die Hard

Ooh, good one. I've seen it, but it's been too long.

*on the list it goes*

 

[cfgsteak]

Dirty Dozen

 

[mattburnside]

I've never met a woman who enjoyed Fight Club.

 

[eloydrummerboy]

I've never met a woman who enjoyed Fight Club.

I've seen it twice.

 

[baimun]

Die Hard

Yes.

Your homework...

Roadhouse, Fight Club, Se7en...

and then at least 3 Shwartzenegger movies where he kills someone (We'll even let Kindergarden cop count because of the "Party Pooper" line)

and then Steel Magnolias.


Compare and Contrast.... Good guy movies vs. Cheesy guy movies vs. Chick Flicks. 3 pages... on Mark's desk by Noon Monday.

 

[Kerouac]

 

[cfgsteak]

I would avoid Roadhouse, Fight Club and Seven and replace them with:

Road Warrior, Hard Boiled and Reservoir Dogs.

 

[eloydrummerboy]

Yes.


Roadhouse, Fight Club, Se7en...

and then at least 3 Shwartzenegger

and then Steel Magnolias.

On the list, seen it twice, on the list, I'll do 1 Ahhnald flick but which one?, annnnd no.

Conan

Predator

Terminator

Those are the essential trilogy.... but I would swap out True Lies for either of the bottom two.

 

[ExiledCrow]

Blues Brothers and Patton!

 

[2manband]

Smoky and the Bandit.

The movie is utter crap, but it features some of the finest moustachery known to man.

10-4 Burt Reynolds. 10-4.

 

[eloydrummerboy]

Ok, for Schwatzy, which to choose ( I haven't seen any of these)..

Commando
Conan the Barbarian
Predator
Total Recal
Oprah Winfrey Show 20th Annaversary (6-disc series)

 

[Kerouac]

Conan!

Predator is probably the manliest choice though, because you have a dude carrying around a helicopter minigun strapped to his waist and the native american guy who cuts open his chest with a machete.

 

[eloydrummerboy]

Blues Brothers and Patton!

Seen it and I'm not much for war movies and I already have Dirty Dozen on my list.

Smoky and the Bandit.

Saw it, loved it.


And should I watch Mad Max before Road Warrior? Or does it not really matter?

 

[Zemmy]

The Godfather
The Godfather part II
Full Metal Jacket
The Sting
Goodfellas
Pale Rider
Blazing Saddles

 

[Help!I'maRock!]

I've never met a woman who enjoyed Fight Club.

the only movie that both my wife and i owned before we started dating.
