Heat
Miami Vice

What else would you guys add?

Don't forget:

Bridget Jones Diary (1 and 2)

Ya Ya Sisterhood

The English Patient

Pretty Woman

Reservoir Dogs

Boondock Saints!
Snatch!

edit: looking at others posts, i have to agree with Pulp Fiction, Braveheart, and Gladiator.

richard lichtenfelt · 11-26-2007, 03:25 PM

Pulp Fiction
Apocalypse Now
Alien
Aliens
Braveheart
The first and last Die Hards
and the ones from the first post, except I didn't care for Miami Vice. Then again I thought that Transformers was a train wreck and obviously that view is not shared by many.

moulin rouge is a good one.

Quick question: Are you asking best guy movies not out in BD already or do they need to be out in BD? Also might suggest later to make a poll with all these titles and see which are the BEST GUY MOVIES.

Add these to the list that are already BDs:

Crank
Rambo
Die Hard

It might give some insight.

I'm guessing we're talking about the uneducated blue-collar guy? Seems to be what all these "for guys" things are aimed at.

If so, any movie with lots of things blowing up, mindless lines and no thinking involved will be in the top X.

How Braveheart isn't in the top 25 on that list is beyond me. It had action, an interesting story and some actual acting, plus a good score.

That's for the "different" kind of guy list. Duly noted though.

Mericalis · 11-26-2007, 03:42 PM

Want to point out that the link I supplied was from 2003, so the lastest movies haven't been added. I'll see if I can find some newer results.

Thank GOD this is a BLU-only possibility. I'd buy it in any format, any format I tell you.

The single most definitive guy movie is The Dirty Dozen. One DVD review site commented that they should have a special edition that comes with a pack of smokes and a shot of whiskey.

mystiksuicide · 11-26-2007, 05:34 PM

Hey I am not a guy but would still love to get Predator and the Alien series

koreyman · 11-26-2007, 10:05 PM

The Magnificant Seven
The Wild Bunch
The Godfather
and almost any film by The Duke , or Eastwood

Slackr89 · 11-26-2007, 10:55 PM

idk about 300...watching a bunch of half-naked men running around with swords doesn't sound very manly...

haha, im just kidding, please dont hurt me
