In your opinion, what is the best, most goddamned manly movie ever made in the history of movies?
My personal favorite goes to "Steel Dawn", with Patrick Swayze playing this bad-ass desert-wandering sword fighter, who goes into this town and saves it by beating up a shit ton of evil bandit guys who want to take all the water. I not only consider it a truly "manly" movie, but also one of the best movies from the 80's, and perhaps of all time. It's pretty darn good in my personal opinion, even though not many people seem to know about it.
What are your guys' favs?

Yes they are all WW2 movies but it wasn't called the greatest generation for nothing! Also, they are real folks performing real heroics.

For pure camp and ridiculousness:
Shoot Em Up
For deeper character and integrity:
To Kill a Mockingbird

Permalink Reply by Chu Kim on February 9, 2013 at 1:36pm Tombstone is pretty badass. There certainly are a whole shitbag of movies that one can choose, that is for sure. I'm a little surprised though that no one mentioned movies by renowned ass kickers such as Van Damme, Bruce Lee, Chuck Norris, etc. Bloodsport is also one of my favs, depending on the day, I may actually give the title of the manliest movie ever made to Bloodsport, over Steel Dawn. But this is like picking between chocolate ice cream and pineapple smoothie, both are real damn good.
