Here's my list of the top ten "guy" movies over the past 25 years. Why the past quarter century? I haven't been around much longer, it's a round number and I don't care for too many movies pre-1980. Let me know what you think about these or ones I may have missed.
10. Saving Private Ryan (1998) - Directed by Spielberg and with arguably the best cast ever assembled (Hanks, Damon, Diesel, Ribisi, Giamatti, Sizemore, Pepper, Farina...)
9. The Karate Kid (1984) - He beats the bad guys and gets the girl, 'nuff said.
8. Back to the Future (1985) - Marty McFly: "Wait a minute, Doc. Ah...Are you telling me you built a time machine...out of a DeLorean?" Dr. Emmett Brown: "The way I see it, if you're going to build a time machine into a car, why not do it with some style?"
7. Gladiator (2000) - "My name is Maximus Decimus Meridius, Commander of the Armies of the North, General of the Felix Legions, loyal servant to the true emperor, Marcus Aurelius. Father to a murdered son, husband to a murdered wife. And I will have my vengeance, in this life or the next."
6. The Last Samurai (2003) - Best Tom Cruise movie ever (not that that's saying much)
5. Braveheart (1995) - If you're a guy and don't own this...
4. Rudy (1993) - I admit it...I cry everytime they start chanting "Rudy...Rudy"
3. O Brother, Where Art Thou? (2000) - Too many memorable quotes to count, e.g. "Well ain't this place a geographical oddity. Two weeks from everywhere!" and "Well, ain't is a small world, spiritually speaking. Peter and Delmar just been baptized and saved. I guess I'm the only one that remains uaffiliated."
2. Good Will Hunting (1997) - Put Damon and Afflack on the map...at least one's remained there.
1. Forrest Gump (1994) - What can I say, Tom Hanks is the man!
