Quote from: classical gasI've never even seen "Dirty Harry".  shit, does that make me less of a man.  fuck "guy movies".  'guy' has become synonymous (sp?) with stupid.

Much much much agreed! I've been thinking that for years now, ever since The Man Show. This fucking list is in the same vein, making men look stupid. Stuff like this always reminds me of this dickhead 2nd cousin of my dad's (he has a huge family) that's always at the reunions and all (you know the type), this is just what his taste is like. You know what I'm talking about, he's one of those "guy's guys" with the football and the beer, I'm starting to really hate those kind of people, not everybody that likes that stuff but everybody that is really loud and obnoxious about it, everybody that is proud of it, it's such a joke. He has fucking gray hair, he's like 45 (looks like he's 60) and he still thinks he's in high school, it's kinda sad to think about. I avoid him every chance I get. People like that suck just like this list does. I would have respected it more if it was all pornos, at least I could have laughed.

Quote from: The Gold TrumpetI also say lighten the fuck up and get pissed that these guys are American snobs and likely unable to appreciate the genius of Toshiro Mifune in his most ass kicking role, "Yojimbo". Now there's a real "Guy" movie.

guy movies dont involve subtitles (IE: reading/thinking.)

dirty harry is cool.
Christopher Nolan's directive was clear to everyone in the cast and crew: Use CGI only as a last resort.

Yeah, I was thinking that exact same thing. "Too arty."

I really hate Dirty Harry, though. That's 180 degrees from what Scorsese/Schrader were doing in Taxi Driver, and I think they had it right.
""Money doesn't come into it. It never has. I do what I do because it's all that I am." - Morrissey

"Lacan stressed more and more in his work the power and organizing principle of the symbolic, understood as the networks, social, cultural, and linguistic, into which a child is born. These precede the birth of a child, which is why Lacan can say that language is there from before the actual moment of birth. It is there in the social structures which are at play in the family and, of course, in the ideals, goals, and histories of the parents. This world of language can hardly be grasped by the newborn and yet it will act on the whole of the child's existence."

I don't know.  I love the performances and there were a few good scenes but overall...I was left very unimpressed.

It does seem to be a movie of it's time.  I don't think it ages/d well.

Were there any Guy Pearce movies on the list?
Music is your best entertainment value.

Dirty Harry is the top guy movie because there is no love interest.  Harry's wife was killed before the film began.  He is a man alone, trying to track down a sniper, and has no time for romance.

i loved it (deer hunter) until the end. it was this whole movie about how horrible the war was, and the terrible effects it had on these people, but in the end they sing 'god bless america' i just think they were too afraid of seeming unpatriotic, for such a brave movie it had such a gutless ending. i dunno, i only saw it once so maybe i'm misinterpreting it.

but on the subject of the list, yea the list is kind of an insult, but so is the magazine it comes from. but i think we can deal with it, after all, women have been dealing with stereotypes for much longer than we have.
