A "Man's" Movie Collection

[Gaborlick]

My recommendations would be wide-ranging.

The classics, like Die Hard, Rocky IV, Rambo, Roadhouse, Cool Hand Luke, Fight Club, Training Day. Really liked End of Watch (cop movie, similar to Training Day) from last year, too.

I'm a sucker for cheesy/campy/bad action movies: anything Stallone, Arnold, or Seagal. JCVD, too. The original Universal Solider is awesome.

Really like the Rock, too. The past few Fast/Furious movies have been great (well, they are bad movies, but fantastic action, sweet cars, guns, explosions, and so on).

Yea I forgot about all the fast and furious movies, definitely on this list. Fast cars, police chases, hot women. The man's movie series of this century.

How did I forget Desperado, Salma Hayek is smoking hot in that movie and the whole guns and rockets being fired from guitar cases is just awesome. Also Danny trejo as the knife throwing guy! Pure genius!!

Mean Streets is another good one, as well as Taxi Driver. Old School De Niro.

Green Street Hooligans.

+1 for Desperado, even if just for the opening seen alone. There are all kinds of little gems in that movie.

I agree with quite a few of the films mentioned. And yes, Top Gun is super homo. I've never seen the appeal of that show.

I think most of these movies haven't been mentioned yet.

Gran Torino
The Untouchables
The Outsiders
Braveheart
Rob Roy
Indiana Jones movies
Back to the Future movies
Caddyshack

how about the joke Quentin tarantino tells at the beginning hahahaha

This reminds me of a joke. This guy, he comes into a bar, walks up to the Bartender and says, "Bartender, I got me a bet for you. I'm gonna bet you 300 dollars that I can piss into that glass over there and not spill a single solitary drop." The bartender says ... now one more time this glass is like a good ten feet away ... he says, "Now wait a minute. Let me get this straight. You're trying to tell me you're gonna bet me 300 dollars that YOU can piss standing over here waaay over there, into that glass, and not spill a single drop?" The guy looks up smiling and says, "That's right." The bartender says, "Young man you gotta bet!" The guy says, "Okay, here we go, here we go." He pulls out his thang. He's looking at the glass, man he's thinking about the glass, he's thinking about the glass, he thinks glass, he's thinking of the glass, think glass, thinking about his dick. Dick, glass. Dick, glass. Dick, glass. Be the glass. Dick, glass. Dick, glass. Dick, glass. And then SWOOOSH. He let's it rip! And he's ... he's pissin' all over the place, man! He's pissin' on the bar ... he's pissin' on the stools, on the floor, on the phone ... on the bartender ... He's pissing everywhere EXCEPT the ****ing glass! Right. Okay, so, bartender, he's laughing his ****ing ass off, he's 300 dollars richer. He's like, "Ha Ha Ha Ha." Piss drippin' off his face. "Ha Ha Ha Ha" He says, "You ****IN' idiot, man. You pissed in everything EXCEPT the glass!! You owe me 300 dollars puta." And he goes, "Excuse me, just one, one second." Goes in the back of the bar, and in the back there's a couple of guys playing pool. He walks over to them ... comes back to the bar and goes, "Here you go Mr. Bartender, three." And the bartender's like, "WHAT the **** are you so happy about, you just lost 300 dollars you idiot?!" The guy says, "Well, you see those guys over there. I just bet them 500 dollars APIECE, that I could piss on your bar, piss on your floor, piss on your phone, and piss on YOU, and not only would you be not mad about it ... you'd be happy."

[Old_Smokie]

The Big Lebowski is awesome! Props for that one!

State of Grace is incredible! Gary Oldman...my favorite actor - arguably his best performance imo.

Funny, the first time I saw True Romance, I didn't even realize he played the part of Drexel Spivey until the credits rolled. I had to go back and review that scene.

State of Grace....great flick.

[SPOILER]

Another classic not mentioned thus far is Tombstone

[tgraveline]

Has anyone actually mentioned Anchorman, yet? I think I just read through this and no one mentioned it.

I can't do this in 5 films. That's too ridiculous.

All time favorite series:
1. James Bond
2. Indiana Jones
3. Starwars (Original trilogy is all I'll ever need)
4. Three Flavors Cornetto Trilogy (Hot Fuzz, Shaun of the Dead, and one coming soon)
5. I'll throw in Harry Potter and LOTR (I'm a sucker for fantasy)

Top 80s movies that I love
The Burbs
Batman
The Beastmaster
Back to the Future Trilogy
Ghostbusters
Any Chevy Chase film

Then my all-time just love these films that haven't been listed:
Jaws
Total Recall
Tombstone
Starship Troopers (I can't look away from the terrible acting, I have to watch it if I see it on tv)
Enter the Dragon

I think that's good for now.
