you know what your problem is dickhead?

youre such a douche real women dont want to hang out with you, so you extrapalate your idea of women based on what porno and tv told you we were like. so basically what im saying is youre the reason crap like this is wildly popular.

i blame you. and one day, some self loathing idiot girl is going to mold herself to this marketed ideal of feminity to please you.

quit oppressing me!

Gotta give this one some thought.

1. Crumb
Documentary about a subversive comic book writer/artist. The scene where his brother tells about pulling down a teenage girl's shorts and describing her butt as a peach makes you think, yeah, all women are essentially worth as much to me as wanting to see their butts.

2. In the Company of Men
This movie explains to us all how and why women are stupid and vaginas smell.

3. Lars Von Trier's Antichris♀
I know this is a work of fiction, but if the Christians can turn the The Passion of Christ into a documentary, then I can claim this film to be one, too! I don't know much about it as I haven't seen it yet, but it made waves at the Cannes Film Festival. The movie by Trier suggests women are evil creatures that deserve their persecution throughout history.

*yawn* the old "You-just-don't-get-women" offensive approach? Call it a self-fulfilling prophecy, lady, but you're validating what was just misogyny-for-humor. Sorry if my form of humor doesn't come from things like Ross getting a pet monkey and I don't cry when Big leaves Carrie at the altar. So it's ok to be a boot-wearing, ball-bashing femme, but the moment some guy does a little tongue-in-cheek humor about women, he's a "douche"?

Well let me tell you something, I've been a douche for a long time, and it's never been because I "don't understand women" and it's definitely not because I can't "take a joke" or even because I can't "write without quotation marks".

So where's my f*cking cake?

Starship Troopers > all o' that.

Conan the Barbarian

Robocop. Starship Troopers. Yeah, these are awesome guy movies. All of the Sean Connery Bond movies. Evil Dead (1&2) and Army of Darkness.

Awww, the fact you said "even alien_concept" suggests the general consensus is the opposite. I'm flattered, really


And if I said that I love all those films you listed, does that make all men stupid?

I love Falling Down and the City of God. Absolutely fantastic movies.

I also love women.




Especially when they make me dinner nom nom nom.

It makes you a tranny...

The Notebook.

Watch it, get laid.

Every single time.

Ever heard of chloroform? It ensures the same result except you don't have to waste two hours watching the fucking Notebook.

Take a certain movie and slap a label on it "This is a guy movie.", "This is a chick flick." and you get these arguments. Now I have noticed that movies recently do get made with the idea of what audience they'll appeal to, and I think now a lot of work goes into figuring out the magical androgynous formula to pull both audiences together so everyone can go out after and talk about it over coffee or get laid (which ever just happens to be the most applicable scenario), but call me naive or whatever but I think there was a time where people just made movies and let them fall where they landed.

Here's some of my favorites, I guess most are guy flicks.. I dunno.. I just enjoy them. If a girl likes any of these too that's great, Id hope anyone can just approach a movie as "it's a movie", and keep an open mind.

Die Hard - Only the original. It's a freaking classic, not just a good action movie. So many little details worked out that there's a scene where you can see a whole sub-plot silently occurring based on one of the character's facial expressions. When Gruber puts the coke fiend on the radio to talk to McClane watch all of McClane's facial expressions.

Way of the Gun - This is another movie where entire conversations occur between characters without a word being spoken. The shoot out at the end is incredible and well thought out.

SE7EN - David Fincher at his best.

Aliens - Video games will never stop quoting from this movie (or stealing ideas from it). Can't wait for Avatar (no, not the cartoon).

The Hudsucker Proxy - One of the best comedies no one's seen.

Face / Off - Cheesy over the top in the best possible way. John Woo's best American movie IMO (Hard Boiled being his best period).

Event Horizon - Many don't like this flick, I loved it. The whole scientific concept of hell being this other place of pure chaos that this ship slipped into really drew me in.

I've got a ton more, but I'll stop here. Why do I like these movies? Because they're fun in some form or fashion.

And soon as Hollywood can get back to making movies that aren't based off something from 10-20 years ago I'll get back into being a movie buff.

Oh and PS, I SOOO Want to see Antichrist too. Looks like some really F'ed up horror.

I like Short Circuit 2. And tits.

Brokeback Mountain.

Brokeback Mountain.

All kinds of *quality

Awarding rottenseed with one star point for this contribution to VideoSift - declared quality by eric3579.

Here's a few of my favorite guy flicks.

Willy Wanker and the Fudge Packery
Hairy Porker and the prisoner of ass cabin
Gaylord of the Cockrings: The Fellowship of the Cringe
Dr. Strangelove or: How I learned to Stop Tensing and Love the Bum
Ass Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Brown Eye

Soooo.... I'm off to watch Cashback.

Ok, so now that I'm home looking at my wall of DVD's, I can comment.

Gattaca - one of my favs. Achieving your dreams against the impossible.

The Thing - Big John Carpenter fan here.
Big Trouble in Little China - ditto.
Escape from New York - in triplicate.

Predator - I'm surprised nobody said this one yet. There should be a Predator channel. All Predator, all the time.

Tremors - Silly, but also just a good old-fashioned monster movie.

Die Hard - What Drax said.

Heavy Metal - A guy film to me because I have yet to meet a girl who likes it as much as I do.
Pink Floyd The Wall - see above.

Leon - Masterpiece.

Midnight Run - "Will you shut the fuck up!?!?!?"

Touching the Void - one of the best documentaries I've seen. Plus I love mountain climbing, so I'm partial.

All those are awesome flicks VSBM. Only one I haven't seen is Midnight Run, but I know the song Chase rather well.

lol, Tremors - "Stinks too!".

Rohypnol - The Movie

http://cinema.videosift.com/video/Cashback-2004-short-film

Fight Club... c'mon, it's obvious
Ocean's 11, Italian Job, Ronin, etc... heist movies are pure guy. They've got the same "play by your own rules, man apart" thing as American Beauty, Falling Down, and Fight Club; complex, logical problem-solving throughout; and action to top it off.

Drax,
I couldn't agree more about "The Hudsucker Proxy". I can't tell why people don't like this movie. I think it might just be hard to take in all the rat-a-tat, fast paced banter but this really is one of the Coen's gems.

However:
It's funny to me that I couldn't disagree more about "Event Horizon". It's just Hellraiser with a space ship for gad's sake. How is it that people can associate "pure chaos" with just chains and razorblades? It would seem to me that pure chaos would be just that: something that you couldn't possibly understand any part of. You wouldn't even fear it after you got there because it wouldn't make sense. After entering, no part of you would be in order anymore. Thus, you wouldn't really even exist.

It's just like that movie "Sunshine" that I was excited to see. Great initial concept and then all-of-a-sudden there's a freakish looking sunburned guy chasing people around with an electric scalpel. WTF? Isn't the initial concept, i.e.: falling into the sun, entering a reality of pure chaos scary enough without all the fish-hooks and blood spattered walls?

Anyway,
I think I agree with most of the suggestions above. Especially "Conan" or: The story of one young man's struggle against adversity in a harsh, unforgiving world and how he wrestles a giant snake and eventually cuts off James Earl Jones' head with his golden sword-phallus.
Best Movie Ever, Period

I love this.

Could I add 'Highlander' the original? One of my all time favs and with one of the best soundtracks of all time. Brilliant.

Agree on Predator, all the Robocops and Alien.

Ryjkyj - I actually agree with you on the Event Horizon part.. but within the confines of it being a movie it works for me. It's not perfect, sticking your finger into a black void? Uhmm.. yeah.... BUT that movie gave me a huge feeling of dread, and I can watch any given normal scary movie and walk out just fine. It's one of the rare ones that actually got to me. Keep in mind I saw it in a dark movie theater, on a ganormous screen with booming bass. The asteroid at the beginning shook the seats when it rolled by.

The other thing about it is, it IS related to Hellraser. Might even be considered a spin-off. How so?

"I have such wonderful things to show you.". - Event Horizon

"We have such sites to show you.". - Hellraiser

Both in reference to hell. Was the scientist in the movie becoming some sort of Cenobite?

Also the dark matter chamber resembles the designs on the boxes from Hellraiser.

I actually like that it ties in with the Hellraiser movies, and that's an area where others may or may not as well themselves.

Your ideas are fascinating to me and I would like to subscribe to your newsletter.
