"Essential"? No, no, no. But not bad.

Too many PC choices mixed in.

Seems to me that there are a heck of a bunch of metro-sexual men starring in this list of manly men movies.

I’d drop the Robert Redford movies and add Billy Budd, Breaker Morant, Rashomon and Dersu Uzala.

It ain’t “essential”.

Not enough comedy, too much Brando. No Roy Rogers, no Mel Brooks. Rebel without a cause? Ghandi? Cracker please.

I'd drop anything with Robert Redford (including Butch Cassidy and The Sting) except for Jeremiah Johnson. Anything with Kevin Costner gets the boot.

Added:
Rio Bravo
Where Eagles Dare
The Hill
Being There
Dr. Strangelove
Fort Apache
The Outlaw Josey Wales

“I’d throw in Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan.”

Finally! A movie on this list that makes sense! ;)

I love all of these movies. I’ve seen them all except for the surfing one...

A great reference list for Movie Date Night for us Chicks. Movies we know our guys will like that we’ll like, too. :)

Brings back memories of these movies. I remember watching bullit when I was a kid at the movies. They hardly ever make -em like these any more.

The Man Who Would Be King, Flight of the Phoenix (Jimmy Stewart version) and Sahara (the one with Bogart).
