The TAO of Steve! Rocks!:crackup:

 

[wayword]

ENTER THE DRAGON for sheer screen presence & charisma!

 

[Holland]

Top Gun

 

[Contender]

Calm down Centaur Boy. While I do agree that fight club is not as good as scarface and the godfather and such, its still a damn good movie. So what if Pitt played in it? He did a very good job compared to his other movies, don't be so damn biased and see the story for what it is.

Mr. Unique, Troy wasnt all that great. There were some moments when the movie had passion, but it was ruined! It had Orlando Bloom! That little **********. And Brad Pitt played average in the movie, nothing spectacular.

And the Matrix! You better be talking about the original.

In one of the battle scenes, one could see an airplane flying by.

Are we talking about movies that give examples of how an Alpha male should act or are we talking about cool guy movies? Seems to a lot of guys are confusing the two.

Examples of Alpha Male:
Scareface
Any Godfather flick
Hell, anything with Al Pacino in it :rockon:
Dusk Till Dawn (George Clooney)

Examples of Cool Guy Movies:
Fight Club
Gladiator
Predator

For all the brown guys out there, I would say any Feroze Khan movie would be awesome. Especially his Qurbani, Dharmatma and Yalgaar are awesome.

Blackhawk down is nothing but a decent action movie, it essentially glorifies a huge American ****-up and i doubt that theres much accuracy behind it. Its just ****ing hollywood

I think you should shut the fvck up and brush those raggedy a$$ chiclets you call teeth. Blackhawk down is a quintessential, testosterone laden picture oozing American pride.

Oh, Fvck the Queen too.

You wanna see real men, check out Double Indemnity and The Apartment (Fred Mcmurray) and Sterling Hayden in The Killing.

Das Boot was a really good example of men who, despite overwhelming circumstances (being constantly attacked by Allied ships/planes), kept on going. The ending was a total bummer though.

Ironically, in Black Hawk Down, I actually felt stronger for the Somalians. They had no technology, few guns, but improvised as best as they could, while fighting fiercely. (PS. I'm not American, so don't bother calling me a "traitor of the Empire" or any weird sh!t)

"Scarface" was a parody of the criminal mind... I think you, like most of today's youth, are greatly misinterpreting this truly remarkable film.

After all, what becomes of Tony Montana?-- He murders his best friend, his own sister, and is then killed in a hail of bullets as a result of double-crossing a columbian drug lord (if I remember correctly).

This is what becomes of evil men. That is the only lesson this film truly has to offer-- be very careful of the path you choose in life.

Equilibrium

2nd that. I love that movie!

P.S. "Fight Club" rocked, but just like 'Scarface', alot of people took it to mean the wrong things. This film is really about finding yourself, and having balance... it has jack sh!t to do with street fighting and acting overly macho if you'll really pay attention to the themes of the movie.

Learn to appreciate art for what it is.

Re:

Judge Fight Club on the book, not the movie. I don't care who likes or doesn't like it, but you're doing yourself a grave disservice if you don't read the book. The book has an ENTIRELY different feel, but in true hollywood sense, that make what might appear attractive, and take away from the authenticity of the original work. Even Lord of the Rings and Chronicles of Rid**** were chopped, leaving out critical scenes ALL fans would like, that also help aid the storyline.

I have found MOST times movies don't live up to the hype or the books is because hollywood chops it to fit what the small viewing public might want, then they include the proper storyline in the final extended DVD product.
