What the hell?😕

Alright, this is what the movie has: 18-wheelers running over people, machien guns blowing up drive through menus, a lawn mower of death, a clock with blood all over it, grenade blowing up a machine gun, rocket launchers blowing up tractors and trucks, waitresses dying, a bible being run over, an out of control draw bride, a lady gets killed by a watermellon, people get shot, lots of explosions, an arcade game of death, etc... etc..... etc..... Plus AC/DC did the whole soundtrack!

Oh damn . . . if AC/DC is involved . . . but i's so obscure . . . I'm conflicted here . . .. 🙁
It was a good flick, but it was a Stephen King movie, more horror than "manly".

 
My vote goes to FIGHT CLUB. A bunch of office dweebs kicking the living sht out of each other and becoming men for the first time in their lives. And all because of Tyler Durden
 
Hey, how come "Four Weddings and a Funeral" isn't on the list???

Seriously though, "Fight Club" gets my vote. Even though it has perhaps two of the least manly actors in the lead roles that movie still rules!

I'd have to go with Predator as well. Its the only movie on there that doesn't include a love story. Well, FMJ doesn't either, but its got a whole political agenda to it which usually can play well to females.

comeon... FMJ totally had a love story... "Me love you long time..." now thats love 😉
 
I was thiking Die Hard at first, but voted for Braveheart since anything with swords and axes in huge battles gets much more testosterone going than just shooting someone with a gun.
 
full metal jacket is a prime example... but not sure which i will vote for. agree about predator being uber macho too.
 
Definitely SCARFACE!

Fight club is FAR from manly. It has a great story going on. I know tons of chicks that love that movie. In fact it was a chick who recommended me to watch it, as it was her favorite movie.

 
Fight Club is leading by 20 votes . . . an upset, if I ever saw one!

Anyhow, the poll is now locked. No American History X, or Brian's Song, or any other movie! That's enough!

So a bunch of blue collar guys kicking the living sht out of each other in a dark basement isn't manly? Going to work with black eyes and missing teeth isn't considered manly? Please, Scarface had more of a love story than half the movies on that list, starting with Pfieffer and Pacino and then Manny/Pacino's sister.

 
C'Mon guys, Conan the Barbarian has the greatest, manliest line ever! It is a motto which all manly men should live by:

To crush your enemies, see them driven before you, and hear the lamentations of their women
 
Scarface.

It's such a manly flick that I only need one hand to type it out. I can smoke a cigar with my other hand.

Awesome chase scene, but I wouldn't say it is the best guy flick.

Oh and, even though the poll is closed, I'd have to say Predator.
 
Ok, I tried to envision one movie that no woman in the world could make it through in its entirety and the winner is...Apocalypse Now! 😀

Also one of the best war flicks ever made.
