Wow, crap like Miami Vice, Steven Segal, Jean Claude Van Damme and none of the Spaghetti Westerns with Clint Eastwood?? WTF?? There's nothing manlier than those three movies. Virtually no dialogue, seriously..damn near none. The main character is known as 'The Man With No Name'.
Clint just squints, smokes, kills people, and flicks coins at people to pay for stuff.

I always thought that was cool as all hell. Just flick a coin at a guy and walk away--none of that 'how much is it' and digging around in your pockets, blathering on about change. Just flick and walk.

I think Clint Eastwoods westerns arnet in there because Brokeback mountatin destroyed any manliness of and Western.

hmm hard boiled, never heard of that.

Brokeback Mountain may have sullied the Western, but trust me, Clint and the Spaghetti Westerns are still super cool. Watch one, rent it, find it on cable, whatever. It's just an insane epitome of manliness.

Meh I am not impressed with the list.

No "Blackhawk Down"? Instant credibility rape.

Is there any better war movie scene than when the mini-gun armed choppers mow down hundreds of skinnies in the Somalian night?

No Dirty Harry, wow.

"Go ahead make my day."

C'mon!

That list sucks ass. Most of those movies just plain suck and I could never get past 5 minutes of them. Whoever wrote that list doesn't know shit about movies and is a frickin pansy to boot (not that there's anything wrong with being a pansy, just don't try to say you're the manliest man). I say pansy because some of those movies are, I believe, as attractive to women or even more so, as they are to men.

I agree cavalierwt. Clint is The Man. There are so many great movies by him that he could probably fill that whole list with just his movies.

Although I would like to see some Akira Kurasawa films listed like Yojimbo, Seven Samurai or The Samurai, I know many people haven't seen them (the first two were copied and are arguably spaghetti western's most famous flicks).

If I were to make such a list, it would definitely be a longer list and it would include notable directors like Terantino and Clint Eastwood. It would without a doubt, NOT include shitty actors with even shittier movies like Van Damme and Segal.

You should watch it. That film rocks.

Hell tarantino ripped at least a few scenes from it for RD and freely admits it. Hong Kong uber violence :)

And yeah Zog there's a better war movie scene than that. The choppers coming in to the sound of Ride of the Valkyries in Apocalypse now. War movie perfection :D

I always felt Apocolypse Now was way over-rated. I've tried watching it, but it's too weird. To me it was like watching the 60's version of Batman.

Blackhawk Down; Ridley Scott, Tom Siezemore, Eric Bana and enough lead flying through the air to blot out the blazing African sun.

Y'know what I think? Don't really matter what I think. Once that first bullet goes past your head, politics and all that shit just goes right out the window.

".CO.UK" thats all i have 2 say!!!

No arguments here. I don't like the film as a whole but that chopper attack sequence is genius. I generally just watch that bit of the film up to the 'I love the smell of napalm in the morning' and then stop. The end of the film is just gibberingly insane. The scene not the film was what I was calling perfection :)
