"TombStone"

"Are you going to do something or just stand there and bleed"

Has to be one of the best movie lines ever.

I mean for me, a guy movie has not one single love scene ever. In no way is a woman ever once allowed to remove any of her clothing ever (actually a perfect guy movie doesn't even have females in it as far as I am concerned).

Going on this detail limitation (for myself only perhaps), I am saying a good nomination, might be 84 Charlie MoPic.
Its been a while since I last saw it though.

Maybe also Gungho (1943 Making Island raid) or Retreat Hell (Korea, Marines at Chosin think).

Remember I was picking on basis of no women allowed though.

Another good one now that I am thinking about it is
"Samari and Son"

I nominate the fil adaptation of Bill Maudlin's Up Front.

I have the book (which is funnier thanks to inclusion of all those rediculously funny comics), but the film did a nice job as well.

Most of the jokes though, just won't be funny to non soldiers.

One that comes to mind, sans the nudity, is [I]The Outlaw Josie Wales[/I]. 'You gonna pull those pistols or whistle Dixie?'. Classic. Another good action flick is [I]Blade[/I], to include the new [I]Blade II[/I] . TNT has 'Movies for guys who like movies', and they always play my all time favorite, [I]Die Hard[/I] .:)

All-guy movie: [I]Evil Dead III - Army of Darkness[/I]

One big macho movie. :D
Violence, twisted sick humor, and a hero that can take it all while eating breakfast! Ash makes Duke Nukem look like a school boy.


Hail to the king, baby!

I think it was called Cyborg...

Not to sure, I am trying to block the image from my mind perhaps to much to recall it clearly.

Bunch of wrestlers turned actor in a bad plot scifi looking thing with knifes that actually snarled at each other.

The average girl would either choke to death on the smell of testosterone coming from the plot, or inspire her to rip off her clothes in a mad lust frenzy looking for the mega male that making the odour (ya can never tell how females will respond eh:D ).

Personally I found the film altogether to demeaning to men. It was over the top.

The other one is a dealer in a poker- game, and the other one is a stripper. The scene with the bren LMG is unforgettable, and so is the acting of Vinnie Jones, as the badass-gangster "Big Chris".

Eddy: "They're armed."
Soap: "Armed, armed with what?"
Eddie: "Err, bad breath, colorful language, feather duster... what do you think they're gonna be armed with? Guns, you tit!"

Oh, and The Good, The Bad And The Ugly is pretty good, too. Not to mention Once Upon A Time In The West.

Big Trouble in Little China comes to mind. Kurt Russel as a fast talking but otherwise useless hero flung into a plot with ancient chinese mythology, magic and lots of kung-fu stuff :D

Jack Burton (Russel) when asked at the end of the movie if he isn't going to kiss the female hero good-bye: 'No.'

Regards,

Lars

And I have to mention "Aliens" only because my wife saw it for the first time while she was pregnant - NOT A GOOD IDEA!!
