Yesterday I googled "100 Movies for Men" and I came across this one list that had some great macho films but also had movies like "It's a Wonderful Life", "Old Yeller". WTF? Those are family entertainment. If I want to find my softer side why not list "Titanic". Jeez! (like the article I saw in that Mens Health magazine, Dr No was the only Bond film on the list)

I want to invite everyone to list 10-15 "Men" movies. Feel free to comment on each others choices as well.

Predator IMO Arnold's Best film
The Terminator (1984) T2 was fine but it was more of family entertainment. It lacked the kick in the teeth the original had.
The Good the Bad and the Ugly
Unforgiven
The Godfather
Scarface
Dr No
Licence to Kill
Platoon
I am Legend
Dirty Harry
Tombstone (like Unforgiven a real kick ass western. We don;t see these type of films anymore and Dana Delaney was Hot)

    @thelivingroyale; Nightmare on Elm Street? Teen slasher, Naw...
    Enter the Dragon: this was the only Kung fu film I saw back then. Good choice.

    @fire_and Ice: good choices especially Resevoir Dogs and Usual suspects. Tarantino has a way with dialogue. Like to add "Deathproof" to the list. Forget Planet Terror, that was just typical zombie bullshytt.

    Along with The Big Sleep (the 1946 one with Bogart not the Robert Mitchum remake)
    Maltese Falcon
    Treasure of the Sierra Madre
    The Caine Mutiny
    The Dirty Dozen (a who's who list of Macho mother F*ckers)
    The Killers (Lee Marvin, Angie Dickerson and Ronald Reagan playing a vicious baddie)
    The Killing (directed by Stanley Kubrick about a race track heist, great film)

    Sir, I can think of dozens of those. ;-)

    But seriously, I've always had the impression that men like Star Wars a lot more than women. Same with Star Trek. Could only be an impression though.
