Men movies, what a rarity!


This is a great movie and it's by men, for men, about men.
Unfortunately mainstream commonly considers men movies stuff made for idiots and/or teenagers, like any Micheal Bay, Marvel or any ramndom crap with lots of explosions, gore, violence and little romance or sentiments.

See Heat to get the difference.
Unfortunately, not often movies like this get made.
I can think of Master and Commander as similar, not many others.

What would you recommend for a men movies list?

Goodfellas. The Departed. The Irishman. Pulp Fiction. Fight Club.

Not a single movie there made by men for men.

A bunch of little boys posing as "machos" for other little boys.

You know in fight club when they are on the bus and laugh at the poster of some ripped model saying "is that what a man looks like?" Yeah well, they get the idea but then they just go on and follow the same guidelines, living in a baby's fantasy of what a real man is. Plus Brad Pitt looks exactly like that Gucci guy.
The other movies are a bunch of kids playing baddies, no real man there.

Just to explain you the difference, in Heat the criminals are professionals, copying with their lack of morality and their circumstances if life. In Pulp Fiction instead they are romanticized caricatures of what a kid thinks is cool about being a gangsta, like handling big guns, blowing away people as you wish (after giving a bombastic speech), dressing like a badass and hanging out with the right fellas/gals at the right places. Do they sound like real men to you?

It's frightening that guy movies are hardly made anymore and Heat was made 25 years ago.

reply

Yep! Movies have become a strictly silly fare.

I like silly like the next kid, but enough is enough.

I think I'd call Miami Connection a guy's movie and there's really only one actress with any kind of speaking part in it.

Spartan,also with Kilmer, is a good men movie.

reply

My Dinner with Andre is also a Man Movie, but the unexperiernced in life INCELS would refuse to admit this.

reply

Yes, a gentle one but a men movie nonetheless.

Many deem "HEAT"as racist or extremely toxic. Way too many white faces, too much white patriarchy.

Many lack the education to judge.
