Guy Flick Time, Quick Poll.... (34 posts)
|  Guy Flick Time, Quick Poll.... | MB1
Feb 27, 2002 12:16 PM | | Miss M is away on business, it's guy flick night. Help me out here.
I'm thinking "The Dirty Dozen" an all time classic. Of course Elefantino brought up "Airplane" last week-could be a contender. Anything with John Wayne in it works.
What should I rent, suggestions anyone? |

Feb 27, 2002 12:25 PM | | When was the last time you saw "Animal House"? |
| Toga, Toga, Toga. | MB1

Good Choice! |

| Enemy at the Gates or She Wore a Yellow Ribbon | McAndrus
Feb 27, 2002 12:35 PM | | For a recent movie, Enemy at the Gates is one of the better guy flicks.
If you a Wayne fan I'd go with She Wore a Yellow Ribbon. |
| War flicks work. nm | MB1

Feb 27, 2002 12:48 PM | | deniro is great. a lot of car chases and shooting, and the end is a bit ambiguous, leading you to let your imagination run! |

Slap Shot
"Scouts?" |
| Some of my favorites. | terry b
Feb 27, 2002 1:52 PM | | my wife does two multi-week horse shows per year so I have a biannual Lonely Guy Film Festival. I tend to go for violence and philospohy, that arcane combo that she won't tolerate.
Recent favorites:
The Professional: Ascetic hit man Jean Reno develops a heart and saves a lonely orphan while killing about 1000 people in a just cause. Gary Oldman is the bad guy.
Romeo is Bleeding: Gary Oldman as a bad cop (is there a thread here?) plays police department off of the Russian (as in Lena Olin) mob off of the Mafia. He doesn't win.
Ghost Dog: Forest Whitaker as a modern day Samurai hit man trying to remain noble in an unforgiving world.
Killing Zoe: Eric Stoltz as a safecracker in a Paris job gone bad, real bad.
If you're really lonely try The Hunger, campy horror with David Bowie and a scene with Susan Sarandon and Catherine Deneuve that will make you forget your bike. A bit dated but not bad to watch on fast forward. |

Feb 27, 2002 1:57 PM | | Heat, Caddyshack, Full Metal Jacket, Platoon, Uncle Buck. Then there are the Hot Tight @sses type of movies..... |
| re: Guy Flick Time, Quick Poll.... | DINOSAUR
Feb 27, 2002 9:24 PM | | Full Metal Jacket, anyone who was in the Marine Corps can identify with the first half of the movie. The actor playing the head D.I. was a retired marine who was a D.I. in The Crotch ("The Crotch" is what grunts referred to as Marine Corps life)... |

gritty, wife out of town, sit around in the same sweats for two days (yuck!): any Clint Eastwood "Spaghetti Western"
wife out of town, ride all day and crash all night drinking beers: science fiction. you name it. nothing low-budget.

| To be a good "Guy Flick" most everybody has to die | MB1
Feb 27, 2002 2:33 PM | | or end up alone.
And a good guy flick can't have "DUDE" in its title! |
| most all their brain cells did die! | peloton
Feb 27, 2002 4:03 PM | | The beginning of 'Dude' when they were waking up and trying to remember what happened reminded me of a couple places that I lived/hung out at as an undergrad. I could make another movie now- Dude, when did I get so lame?! Oh well... my liver feels better.
How about 'Platoon' for a good guy flick? |

| Second Reservoir Dogs | 4bykn
Feb 28, 2002 7:59 AM | | I was going to say that, I have it on dvd. Also try Pulp Fiction. |
| The Killing | mr_spin
Feb 28, 2002 12:34 PM | | If you like Reservoir Dogs and Pulp Fiction, rent this early Stanley Kubrick film from 1956. It's an outstanding film that was a major influence on Tarantino. |
| Sounds good, thanks...nm | 4bykn

| Add to the list... | 4bykn
Mar 1, 2002 7:38 AM | | "Lock, stock and two smoking barrels" and
"Snatch"
My favorite Brad Pitt movie. |
| Any Mel Brooks movie. | look271
Feb 27, 2002 4:46 PM | | Blazing saddles, Young Frankenstein. Or Waynes World (hey, it has Tia Carerre in it, need I say more?!)Yes I know it isn't a Mel Brooks movie, but it's a classic. |
| Men Flick=Mel Brooks, Chick Flick=Woody Allen! nm | MB1
Feb 27, 2002 4:48 PM | | |
| And the winner is........ | MB1
Feb 28, 2002 4:23 AM | | Cool Hand Luke.
WOW what a great guy flick.
Chain gang, the car wash scene, eggs, George Kennedy was great, tasteful music and even though chicks dig him Paul sure can make a great guy flick!
"What we have here is a failure to communicate." |

| Guy Flicks | jschrotz
Mar 7, 2002 1:12 PM | | The Usual Suspects - "Did you put that together yourself, Einstein?"
Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels - "Oy! Get your fingers out of my soup."
Snatch - "Protection from what? Zee Germans?"
The Big Lebowski - "You're entering a world of pain."
O' Brother, Where Art Thou - "Damn, we're in a tight spot!"
The Wild Bunch - William Holden is brilliant.
Spinal Tap - "It goes to eleven."
Butch Cassidy
Airplane - "Joey, do you like movies about gladiators?"
Dirty Rotten Scoundrels - Steve Martin's monkey-boy bit is priceless. |
