Movies Men Should Never Rent/See/Have In Their Posession

What's wrong with Cast Away and Dances with Wolves? I also thought that Driving Miss Daisy was a good movie as well, but I probably wouldn't want it in my movie collection.

Finally, although there is nothing wrong with having the Sorpanos or Band Of Brothers DVD sets in your collection, I'd have to wonder about anyone who would buy the Sex and the City DVD set.
 


<< Jero - can I suggest you stop posting your suggestions as it is crystal clear that you don't "get" what this thread is about. >>



Word. Get the hell out.
 
dude.. u should add

"the princess diary" and
"a walk to remember"

to the list

the 1st one is totally chick flick...
second one is better, at least it based on a bestselling novel...

Yeah, I saw Princess Diaries on the plane to Hong Kong.

...and I thought I couldn't sleep on planes...
 
I agree that these are all movies that men should not willingly see, but Bruce Willis and Arnold will not get you nooky.
 
Got a couple more my gf has forced me to watch, Ms. Congeniality, The plot was horrid, the acting was just as bad, and i was one of 3 guys in the theatre...
Though I was able to avoid having to watch this one, Save The Last Dance is 100% chick flick.
and of course, i almost forgot, Bring It On, I hate that movie with a passion, not only was it mindless and boring, it wasnt even close to original....
Luckily im broke right now so my gf cant drag me to any movies.... 🙂
 
I was sweet talked by the wifey in to seeing a movie(it was her B-Day) I knew would blow donkeys a few years back....and did it ever! I can't believe it doesn't appear on anyones "chick flic" list in this thread :Q City Of Angels was the lamest chic flic she has yet to subject me to :disgust: In the wifey's defense however, I would probably have never given "last of the Mohicans" a chance if she hadn't of rented it. Now that was one of those movies I thought had chic flic written all over it from the trailer, so now I we'realmost even. I mean no 1 movie can make up for that Angels crap 😉 BTW, I have my own rating system, the NBGV rating(naked bimbos, gratuitous violence) 😀
 
I liked Bring It On, lots of hotties in cheerleader uniforms. MMMmmmmmmmmm, splits. BTW there's an awesome car wash scene on the DVD.
 
the wedding planner "movie" pretty much sums up all that is wrong with our culture's perspective of love/marriage, and they tarnish the previously bad boy man's man image of mathew McCono-hey-this-movie-sucks

others movies that will leave their estrogenical taint upon your now nutless whipped shell....

dirty dancing <--- this movie is another primary cause of nutlessness
pretty woman (contains gangly hooker...borderline acceptable)
ghost
casablanca
bodyguard
forever young
sense and sensibility
city of angels
message in a bottle
thelma and louise
stepmom
hope floats
how stella got her groove back
waiting to exhale
3 men and a baby
4 wives club (duh)
you've got mail

anything considered to be "an epic romance"
9 out of 10 musicals
anything preceeding 1975 not about gangs, war, drugs, etc..
 
OMFG.

STEP MOM. Thanks for that nightmare reminder. I was on a flight from CO back to NC, and bad weather forced us to land in Richmond and wait on the runway for 5 hours. Debarking or wahtever its' called wasn't allowed since there were no open terminals.

All we could do was watch two great movies. They gave out the headsets for free. Man, it was absolutely torturous, not to mention being in the sardine row (middle aisle) of a DC-10. Gawd, that was awful.

And the movies were:

Step Mom
At First sight. Definitely need to add that one to the list (Val Kilmer and Mira Sorvino).

And BTW. Last of the Mohicans is a GREAT movie. I love it, but my wife and I still laugh like hell at the "Stay Alive" part.
 


<< It all begins and ends with:

Beaches

This is THE chick movie. >>

yes, I am sorry to say that I did watch this movie and now I am scarred for life!

Another movie to avoid is Sense and Sensibility.... noooooooooooo...!!! Stay away from that movie!
 
How can you forget Tootise?!?!:Q
Anything on that new Women Entertainment Channel or Oxygen
Anything that has anything to do with Oprah bleech
rolleye.gif

MASK with Cher
Fame
Moulon Rouge
Not with out my Daughter
 


<< And BTW. Last of the Mohicans is a GREAT movie. I love it, but my wife and I still laugh like hell at the "Stay Alive" part. >>

Agreed, that is WAAAY over the top, overly dramatic tripe.
 
First of all: Chocolat really is a good movie! It may not be a violent shoot 'em up, but it's a good movie regardless. Same goes to the Gone With the Wind. I wouldn't really label either of those as chick-flicks.

My vote goes to:

Ghost
Three men and a baby
Billy Elliot (almost had to watch it with GF, but we went to see Chocolat instead. Phew!)
Glitter (Haven't seen it, but I KNOW that it sucks badly, and that's reason enough to steer clear of it!)

EDIT: new nominations:

Pumping Iron (yes it has Schwarzenegger... It 70's look.... Pumping Iron...)
Italian Stalion (First movie by Stallone. Softcore porn *cough*)
 
Enh, Titanic wasn't that bad. Besides we wouldn't have all the spoofs of Caprio and Winslet on the tip of the boat with their hands out, if it didn't exist in the first place.
Besides how bad can a movie be if Leonardo Dicaprio dies in it?
 
Umm..about Leonardo Dicaprio, I have to say everything he's in it we men shouldn't watch, except for the Star Wars movie he will be in. I don't like the fact that he will be Darth Vader but I have to watch Star Wars.
 
Heh, most of the movies are good though. I actually like watching movies like these cause they help me to understand my wife better and seldom do I find them as bad as I might have thought. Remarkably though, she watches colours, scenery, clothes and furniture to the same degree as the movie itself. 😉 Ahh, I love her and her, so far, sucessful project trying to cultivate me out of ACTION ONLY.

UN-MALE movies though are in my opinion movies that portray men that have no spine, gut, or smell of sweat/bad breath whatsoever.

NOTTING HILL definitely scores high here, so does basically anything with Woody Allen in it. I grow ashamed of my sex, watching him shrink to
every woman, chit-chattering away in the most un-male, complaining manner ever presented on the silver screen. He is sexless, but the
man sells?!? I hope we, as a male collective, boycot what he is doing to our species. LET IT NOT BE SAID THAT WE CAN RELATE TO THAT MAN. STAND UP!
 


<< 1. Chocolat (some of the guys doubt this one though.) >>

Pretty damn good movie! I do not understand why this is on the list.
 
Didn't see it on the list, but any movie with Barbra Striesand in it.

Also - fried green tomatos
