Manliest Films?

dr gonzo

I know its a stupid question really but what film makes you lean forward in your seat, excitement building as the bad guys gets his comeuppance?

Is it something like Liam Neeson leaving a trail of dead bodies behind him as he tracks down the people who absconded with his daughter.

Or, in keeping with the western thread going at the moment, is it more like Clint Eastwood, the man with no name, making short work of anybody whos stupid enough to draw on him?

Theres a million and one films that suit the bill so i leave to you boardsies to decide.

Royale with Cheese

The words David swiftly followed by Keith means manliness at it's most manly.

This is one of Keith's most fun filled films, a sleazy Raiders of the Lost Ark which was also directed by David.

Leone's westerns, methinks. One of his scriptwriters, a childhood friend, once asked him how on earth to write the meeting of two characters in a western. Leone told him that it was very much like how they behaved as boys in Rome - petty displays of machismo escalating to a fight. I doubt those films have the same resonance for most women.

Demolition Man
Die Hard

It HAS to be Cool Hand Luke.
It's about nothing except a manly contempt for authority and Newman being impossibly cool.

Weird, I was going to post that, that exact scene too.
But then I just thought that certain aspects of it aren't very manly.
They break him at one point for one and his sadness over the death of his mother.

Savage Cabbage

shooter with Mark Wahlberg .. stuff exploding everywhere at the end

Check out The 13th Warrior, it's concentrated manliness. After hearing the "Viking death prayer" I immediately felt the urge to fight a last desperate battle against impossible odds.

Predator

Have to something by either Walter Hill or Sam Pechkinpah I'll nominate both!

The Driver cos the woman hardly speaks a word and he's so cool driver he can have rough sex with a car

The Getaway, bank robbery, car chases, bloody shootouts, wimmins gettin' willfully screwed and slapped about. Tis manly!

Aliens,could watch it over and over,http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CGE_h4jBBXc&feature=related

Full Metal Jacket-the drill instructor's insults were priceless.

pwd

ripley is a woman though

rednik

The bank job and the aftermath in Heat. Probably the best shootout in cinema history. I would love to know the extent of Andy McNabb's role? The fantastic music score also made the scene.

mike65

Aliens is almost a feminist tract. Don't be foolish by all the shootin' aliens.

Cantona's Collars

Romper Stomper-one of Russell Crowes 1st movies.As for the feminist tract in Aliens,nobody really analyses that in a movie with so many guns.Ripley is more manly in that than most of the so called modern 'mans man' actors.:D

Gotta be Unforgiven. William Munny is the manliest man to ever grace the silverscreen. Its so manly I accidentally grew a beard while watching it one night. Now thats manly.

Cantona's Collars

The Wild Bunch and Predator-got my hands on the Ultimate Hunter Edition on Blu Ray,great quality and 100% macho.

fluke

300 by a long shot. Woman needed to be on the pill before going to see that in the cinema. Such was it's overriding manliness.

Cantona's Collars

Good action,could be accused of being manly in the wrong way

tommyboy2222

Jaws. 3 men v 1 shark.
