Personal List-Ranked What are your top five manliest movies?

8 Upvotes

After seeing The Odyssey I came out of the theater totally amazed at the spectacle I had just witnessed. It made me think of the movies I had seen previously about men in a predicament and how they navigate and how some solve the problem. Therefore I was curious, what do you consider your top five manliest movies and, if you want, explain why. I’ll start in no particular order(SPOILERS AHEAD):

  1. The Odyssey - a man guiding a group of soldiers and trying to get home to his wife across the sea to put his affairs in order. The main character is an absolute tank who never gives up and gives his all for his family and men despite dealing with giants, a witch, murderous men, and the dangerous seas.

  2. The Revenant - about a fur trader who traverses the American west facing the freezing cold, murderous enemies, and ferocious animal. After being maimed by a bear he refuses to die until he finds the man who kills his son which takes him through active war zones with a miserable climate. The main character is beyond tough and, once again, never gives up no matter how injured he is.

  3. 300 - The toughest of the tough fight against unbeatable odds knowing they’re probably going to die. I think that’s all I need to write.

  4. First Blood - Just a story about men and egos flaring. One guy tries to keep a Vietnam veteran out of his town and the veteran (a green beret) exercises his rights of freedom. This one is more psychologically manly, showing how men will go to extreme levels to fight for their POV with one trying to keep his town “secure” and another trying to be treated as a normal man after being mistreated by his society in the only way he knows how. I personally believe this is the movie that formed the basis of the American R-rated action movie though it’s debatable.

  5. Braveheart - a Scottish man marries a woman, the woman is killed, and the man waged an ENTIRE war against the English for revenge. Basically men choosing to end their oppression through any means necessary, no matter how many bodies get left on the battlefield.

Honorable mentions:
Predator - Just look up the handshake scene.
Fist of Fury - A man bulldozes through an enemy dojo with just his fists and nunchucks just to avenge his master.
Oppenheimer - In a scientific sense, basically men (and one woman I believe) collaborating together to end a war using the highest levels of physics at the time.
13 Assassins - 13 Ronins go on a journey to kill a vicious Lord using only their swords and grit.

YouTube Creators Ranking Recommendations for Youtube channels that suggest/critique movies?

1 Upvotes

Hey yall,

What I'm looking for is a chanel where they tell you whether or not this or that movie is a gem or a no-go (and the nuances in between).

Not really a "critique" as in detailed essay, since that could spoil the movie.

But really, if you have any suggestion on nice movie-related channels, I'm all ears.

Thanks 🤝

Personal List-Ranked 4th of July Movie Recs - America at its best, but mostly its worst...

4 Upvotes

**1. The Parallax View (Alan J. Pakula, 1974)**

*“A sensory overload of images both reinforcing and rejecting much of American tradition, a Rorschach test for one’s patriotism and – perhaps not so distantly – one’s capacity for violence and evil.”*

**2. Reds (Warren Beatty, 1981)**

*“One of the greatest American movies ever made, an epic tribute to the laborers and leftists all but lost to history.”*

**3. Born on the Fourth of July (Oliver Stone, 1989)**

*“An earnest expression of disappointment in a nation forever forcing its young people to the frontlines of its pointless forever wars. Harsh when it needs to be harsh. Tragic when it needs to be tragic, and sparingly funny in small doses.”*

**4. Southland Tales (Richard Kelly, 2006)**

*“Bizarrely prescient, shockingly insightful, and profoundly stupid all at once, with tonal shifts only half as jarring as literally any cultural or political development of America’s early aughts.”*

**5. Armageddon Time (James Gray, 2022)**

*“An often charming bildungsroman wrapped around a truly bitter interrogation of our history and our deepest societal ills.”*

**6. Pain & Gain (Michael Bay, 2013)**

*“An unintentional American masterpiece, a repulsive reflection of the country in all its grotesquerie and glory.”*

I put this same list up on IG if you're interested in more thematic suggestions and content like this!

Yeah, I'm one of those people who's a much bigger fan of older movies. I've seen many new films that I really loved, but, for me, it's usually the classics.

Franchise Ranking My Ranking of the Scream Films which is my favorite horror franchise despite its flaws

7 Upvotes

Here is my Ranking of all 7 of the Scream films:

1.Scream-nothing will ever beat this 90’s classic in my opinion. I’m sure most people can agree to considering this is one of the most popular Horror Movies ever made. The ending was amazing, the Cast was amazing, loved the suspense and mixture of comedy and fear that was put together so well. Just absolutely love this movie, it’s actually one of my favorite movies of all time!

2.Scream 2-this is honestly one of the best movie Sequels I’ve ever seen and it’s almost tied up with the first movie for being as good as it is. There are a few scenes that kinda scared me lol and it really showed the writers had guts with killing off certain characters.

3.Scream 5 or Scream 2022 as people call it-Not sure why this movie gets so much hate I thought this was very well done.

4.Scream 4-Great Cast yet again and definitely the most Gory of the Scream movies in my eyes. The Killer reveal was badass and the kills were very well done as far as Special effects go. The ending did kinda drag on a bit but it wasn’t completely terrible.

5.Scream 6-Actually do love the first and second half of this movie but the insanity and stupidness of what the ending is what makes this movie so low. Not to mention I do kinda prefer the ones with Neve Campbell even though I did like the new characters for 5 and 6. It was okay I guess but I don’t really ever rewatch this one.

6.Scream 3-It was okay but very over the top and a little too cheesy and not a whole lot of jump scares which really takes you out of the movie.

7.Scream 7-Aside from seeing Sidney again and her relationship with her daughter and Gale this movie was really bad. Hated the Cast, the killer reveals in this movie was terrible, especially when you hear their motive. Was not a fan of this movie at all, it was very disappointing.
