<p>Field of Dreams and The Natural are two on my list. I also am a huge fan of Forrest Gump.</p>
<p>I’ve heard Mystic River. It does have that brotherhood theme going.</p>
<p>Most un-guy movies:
Steel Magnolias
Terms of Endearment (worst movie of all time)
Thelma and Louise (we get it…I am woman hear me roar)
The English Patient (booooooooring)
9 to 5 (Jane Fonda gets off the North Vietnamese anti-aircraft gun and plays timid…wow)
Coming Home (hubby’s off risking his life; big deal)
E.T. (where’s the Border Patrol when you need them?)
Out of Africa
A League of Our Own (Rosie O’Donnell in shorts)
Pretty Woman (Being a hooker is FUN!!)
Working Girl (NOT about a hooker)
Sleepless in Seattle (guzzle a 12-pack if you can’t sleep)
You’ve Got Mail (but you don’t have balls)</p>
<p>Naw, the most “un-guy” movie is The Notebook.</p>
<p>TourGuide, I can’t believe you forgot Beaches</p>
<p>“I love the smell of napalm in the morning”</p>
<p>“What we got here…is failure to communicate”</p>
<p>“Frankly, my dear, I don’t give a damn!”</p>
<p>“This is a .44 magnum, the most powerful handgun in the world and will blow your head clean off”</p>
<p>“We’re on a mission from G-d”</p>
<p>“Here’s looking at you, kiddo”</p>
<p>“No bast<strong>d ever won a war by dying for his country. He won by making the other poor, dumb bast</strong>d die for his country”</p>
<p>“African or European?”</p>
<p>The best one of all:
“I’m gonna make him an offer he can’t refuse. …”</p>
<p>^ Lest you wake up with a horse’s head in your bed.</p>

<p>It has a fair number of female fans too. When the movie was getting ready to come out, the Patrick O’Brian discussion board was invaded by flock of new members – mostly a bunch of (apparently) middle-aged women gushing over Russell Crowe like a bunch of smitten school girls.</p>
<p>“Mongo just pawn in game of life.”</p>
<p>“I know.” (Clue – Harrison Ford said this.)</p>
<p>“You can’t handle the truth! Son, we live in a world that has walls, and those walls have to be guarded by men with guns. Whose gonna do it? You? You, Lt. Weinburg? I have a greater responsibility than you could possibly fathom. You weep for Santiago, and you curse the marines. You have that luxury. You have the luxury of not knowing what I know. That Santiago’s death, while tragic, probably saved lives. And my existence, while grotesque and incomprehensible to you, saves lives. You don’t want the truth because deep down in places you don’t talk about at parties, you want me on that wall, you need me on that wall. We use words like honor, code, loyalty. We use these words as the backbone of a life spent defending something. You use them as a punchline. I have neither the time nor the inclination to explain myself to a man who rises and sleeps under the blanket of the very freedom that I provide, and then questions the manner in which I provide it. I would rather you just said thank you, and went on your way, Otherwise, I suggest you pick up a weapon, and stand a post. Either way, I don’t give a damn what you think you are entitled to.” (I couldn’t decide where to cut it…)</p>
<p>“Round up the usual suspects.” (A great guy line from a movie that is half guy movie and half chick-flick.)</p>
<p>“Badges? We ain’t got no badges. We don’t need no badges. I don’t have to show you any stinking badges.”</p>
<p>And for this season of peace and hope:</p>
<p>"Hey. If any of you are looking for any last-minute gift ideas for me, I have one. I’d like Frank Shirley, my boss, right here tonight. I want him brought from his happy holiday slumber over there on Melody Lane with all the other rich people and I want him brought right here, with a big ribbon on his head, and I want to look him straight in the eye and I want to tell him what a cheap, lying, no-good, rotten, four-flushing, low-life, snake-licking, dirt-eating, inbred, overstuffed, ignorant, blood-sucking, dog-kissing, brainless, *<strong><em>less, hopeless, heartless, fat-</em></strong>, bug-eyed, stiff-legged, spotty-lipped, worm-headed sack of monkey **** he is. Hallelujah. Holy ****. Where’s the Tylenol? "</p>
<p>WashDad, that last quote is our favorite Christmas movie.</p>
<p>“Put it on the table with the others, Greaseball!”</p>
<p>Predator</p>
<p>Terminator 2</p>
<p>surfer movies?</p>
<p>^Pointbreak comes to mind. I think surfing documentaries are better than any movie though. Not sure what a guy would think about that though.</p>
<p>okay…I think I’ve found the perfect GUY romantic comedy. </p>
<p>Who has seen High Fidelity with John Cusack and Jack Black? Guy viewers love John Cusack’s slacker, ‘loath to commit’ character, and women viewers just want to smack him. Set in a vintage rock and roll record store with Jack Black as the hilarious ‘music snob’ clerk. </p>
<p>Perfect! Who could ask for anything more.</p>
<p>^^I’ve seen High Fidelty and liked it. Didn’t really strike me as a “guy movie” though. It was the first movie in which I saw Jack Black. The thing I remember about it more than anything to do with Cusack’s character was Black’s rock music snob, because it was so true to some of the record store clerks I’ve encountered over the years.</p>
<p>“Leave the gun; take the canolis.”</p>
<p>
No way! These are an embarassment to the guy movie genre.</p>
<p>War Wagon - that’s a guy movie.</p>
<p>Or, Rio Bravo - so good that they made it three times.</p>
<p>Or any John Wayne movie where the bad guys shoot the dog.</p>
<p>What about “Slapshot”?</p>
<p>Pilgrim #78. I will ignore your choices.</p>
