Your first movie review. Guy movies!

OK. Here are a list of some movies that every young man should watch to be considered a man. Any others you think should be on the list?

The task: watch all of these movies... oh ok. Watch at least one of these movies before the 21st August and write a review of the movie on your blog.

Right: off the top of my head, without looking at any Internet lists:
1. Scarface
2. Godfather trilogy (counts as one, but if you're only watching one, watch the first one)
3. Platoon or Apocalypse Now
4. Rocky
5. Rambo
6. Terminator
7. Dirty Harry
8. The Good, The Bad and the Ugly
9. Mad Max
10. Lethal Weapon
11. Die Hard (1 and 2)
12. Eddie Murphy's Delirious

Now for the professional's ideas:
  • The Princess Bride - don't knock it til you've seen it!
  • Animal House - in fact, any National Lampoon movie - they're made for men, but Animal House fer shure!
  • Pulp Fiction
  • Stand by Me
  • Enter the Dragon - Bruce Lee! How could I have missed that one!?!
  • Top Gun - One word: Iceman!
  • Braveheart
  • Caddyshack
  • Dr No
  • Fight Club
  • The Usual Suspects
  • Blade
  • Easy Rider
  • Fletch
  • The Blues Brothers
  • This is Spinal Tap
  • Monty Python and the Holy Grail
  • RoboCop
  • True Romance
  • Highlander
  • Porky's
There are plenty more, but these are the ones that it should be a crime not to have seen. So get watching and start reviewing.

    Not that I'm planning to do it, but what about "Grease" with John Travolta + Olivia Newton-John? Super great musical!

    It is a super great musical! Musicals tend to be placed well aside from the "manly" movie stereotype, but I reckon any man who can't sing along to Summer Nights is not a man at all :)

    The Hangover
    Prom Night
    The Chronicles of Narnia (The Lion, Witch and the Wardrobe)
    Harry Potter (Any)(I know, sad but that's what I can think of!)
    James Bond: Casino Royale
    Borat
    Transformers (1&2)
    Slumdog Millionare
