To: who knows what evil?
"Too many PC choices mixed in."

"Kate McKay's influence on this list pretty much ruined it...a list of men's movies should have been drafted by men. No chicks."


CORRECT!

As far as all the Costner bashers I have to more or less agree, but to me Costner redeemed himself when he made 'Open Range'! Now that's a MAN's movie! Also a man's movie list needs to be more John Wayne heavy with movies like 'In Harm's Way', 'Hondo','The Sands of Iwo Jima' and the 'Man who shot Liberty Valance'.

I would also add the movie 'Secondhand Lions':"Hub: Sometimes the things that may or may not be true are the things a man needs to believe in the most. That people are basically good; that honor, courage, and virtue mean everything; that power and money, money and power mean nothing; that good always triumphs over evil; and I want you to remember this, that love... true love never dies. You remember that, boy. You remember that. Doesn't matter if it's true or not. You see, a man should believe in those things, because those are the things worth believing in."

My list would have the following as well: 'The Patriot'
'Saving Private Ryan'
'Caddy Shack'
'Uncommon Valor'
'Red Dawn'
'Big Trouble in Little China'
'The Natural'
To name a few.

“’Big Trouble in Little China’”

Agreed. My son and I love this movie! When it comes on my wife’s eyes just roll back in her head and she leaves the room. Best line from “Little China: — “”Look, I’m a reasonable guy, but I’ve just experienced some very unreasonable things...” - Jack Burton

Also...how about “Open Range” being added to this list?
