I am female, but I still think my vote should count in this poll.

29. Thirded. Frank Bullitt didn't need no chick or no home. He didn't even...
need a big, crazy hand-cannon. All Frank Bullitt needed was his bad-ass Mustang.




Plus it had Robert Vaughan in it, and is therefore, by definition, unwatchable by any woman.

I loved the chase scene. I loved the whole movie. But then, my tastes aren't the same as most women.

The Godfather movies are up there too.

I've only seen two movies on the chick flicks poll, and I didn't like either of them. LOL

35. No, Conan is a chick movie.
That's when Arnold was looking good and all the women would drool over his body. At least, I did.

17. Can I guess?
This may say more about the guys I hang out with, but I would think the top two would be:

Bull Durham
Blazing Saddles
following closely with anything James Bond related.

How'd I do? What did I win? :bounce:

18. Top Gun.
Edited on Thu Nov-24-05 10:30 PM by ocelot
The opinion that this is the ultimate guy flick was offered to me by an actual guy when the movie first came out. It is awash in testosterone, machismo, male bonding, airplanes and motorcycles.

39. Agree, got to be Top Gun
From Sleep with me (1994). The part of "Sid" is played by Quentin Tarantino, the dialogue was written by Roger Avary:

Sid: You want subversion on a massive level. You know what one of the greatest fucking scripts ever written in the history of Hollywood is? Top Gun.
Duane: Oh, come on.
Sid: Top Gun is fucking great. What is Top Gun? You think it's a story about a bunch of fighter pilots.
Duane: It's about a bunch of guys waving their dicks around.
Sid: It is a story about a man's struggle with his own homosexuality. It is! That is what Top Gun is about, man. You've got Maverick, all right? He's on the edge, man. He's right on the fucking line, all right? And you've got Iceman, and all his crew. They're gay, they represent the gay man, all right? And they're saying, go, go the gay way, go the gay way. He could go both ways.
Duane: What about Kelly McGillis?
Sid: Kelly McGillis, she's heterosexuality. She's saying: no, no, no, no, no, no, go the normal way, play by the rules, go the normal way. They're saying no, go the gay way, be the gay way, go for the gay way, all right? That is what's going on throughout that whole movie... He goes to her house, all right? It looks like they're going to have sex, you know, they're just kind of sitting back, he's takin' a shower and everything. They don't have sex. He gets on the motorcycle, drives away. She's like, "What the fuck, what the fuck is going on here?" Next scene, next scene you see her, she's in the elevator, she is dressed like a guy. She's got the cap on, she's got the aviator glasses, she's wearing the same jacket that the Iceman wears. She is, okay, this is how I gotta get this guy, this guy's going towards the gay way, I gotta bring him back, I gotta bring him back from the gay way, so I'll do that through subterfuge, I'm gonna dress like a man. All right? That is how she approaches it. Okay, now let me just ask you - I'm gonna digress for two seconds here. I met this girl Amy here, she's like floating around here and everything. Now, she just got divorced, right? All right, but the REAL ending of the movie is when they fight the MIGs at the end, all right? Because he has passed over into the gay way. They are this gay fighting fucking force, all right? And they're beating the Russians, the gays are beating the Russians. And it's over, and they fucking land, and Iceman's been trying to get Maverick the entire time, and finally, he's got him, all right? And what is the last fucking line that they have together? They're all hugging and kissing and happy with each other, and Ice comes up to Maverick, and he says, "Man, you can ride my tail, anytime!" And what does Maverick say? "You can ride mine!" Swordfight! Swordfight! Fuckin' A, man!

Think about it - he gets to travel the world on the government's paycheck, kill people, bang the hottest women in the world (both good and evil), and gets shitfaced afterwards.

25. Steve McQueen's "The Great Escape"
Steve McQueen is the prototypical cool American male. He's the guy on his horse, the guy alone. He has his own code of honor, his own code of ethics, his own rules of living. He never, ever tries to impress the women but he always gets the girl.

And how many women would be dumb enough to do that? :7

Edited on Sat Nov-26-05 12:53 AM by Canuckistanian
Kinda quirky maybe.

In no particular order:

Ice Station Zebra
Vanishing Point
Flight of the Phoenix (the original)
Platoon
Bridge on the River Kwai
Papillion

And, as mentioned,

Reservoir Dogs

*Oh, and Usual Suspects

* on edit

56. The Guns of Navarone
All tough guy cast - Anthony Quinn, Gregory Peck, David Niven (well, David Niven could be tough when he wanted to, and he sure was here), and the only romance - tangential to the plot - ends, shall we say, poorly. Plus, cool music, the Nazis get theirs; lots of explosions; giant cannons falling into the ocean. What more can a guy want?
