Cinematic examples of manliness

[DonJuanathan]

First post here, been reading and taking things in for a while. I can't get over the lack of manliness that I see in society, and am frustrated at the way I feel my own growth stunted by some of those I grew up with. Thank god I have a father who set a good example, but I have yet to live up to that example. So I look for inspiration in characters in movies, books, and games. I want to know your favorite scene in any movie that demonstrates a man at his finest.

One for me that comes to mind is the end of Conan the Destroyer. I'm not talking about Arnold being all ripped, and I know that the movie is pretty bad. What I'm getting at is the part where the princess offers a role to every member of Conan's team and finally gives Conan the offer to rule beside her. Everyone else jumped up all happy to take what was offered. And Conan just stands there like the badass he is and says, "I will have my own kingdom." He turns, walks out, almost stops for just a moment, but continues on his way without ever looking back. Mother Fvcker did what he came to do and left to fulfill his destiny: his OWN kingdom. That to me is what being a man is all about. What do you think and what examples do you have that you like?

I saw Untouchable last week, French Film with subtitles, easily the best movie Ive seen this year, the black hoody/carer is an excellent Alpha, his attitude is awesome, based on a true story as well.

Sure its a trash movie but you can really see the self assured unapologetic attitude a man should have.

Look at 0.50 when the witch appears, he doesnt say to the women to move away cause it could be dangerous and he needs space, he simply push her away.

1.07 he knows what it takes and he doesnt have problem to get it.

2.20 no sentimental bullsh1t or apologies for messing up the place while fighting the villain, he simply takes the girl which he saved.

Its not only the part itself but the attitude.

Killer Joe

He definitely displays some good alpha traits.

[Greasy Pig]

Charlton Heston in Planet of the Apes.

The scene where he escapes with the sympathetic apes and goes to grab the hot chick.
One of the apes says: "We don't want her!"
He says: "I want her!"
Damn she was hot too.
