They had temporarily escaped the factories, the warehouses, the slaughterhouses, the car washes - they'd be back in captivity the next day but now they were out - they were wild with freedom. They weren't thinking about the slavery of poverty. Or the slavery of welfare and food stamps. The rest of us would be all right until the poor learned how to make atom bombs in their basements.

Fight Club is in my girl friends top five favorites of all time, but nice try!

Also, she loves both Excalibur and Conan....

you can't say that youre trying to say Fight Club is a "chick flick"...just that your girl digs non-traditional movie taste...or, if shes anything like me, Brad Pitt shirtless for 2 hours.

No, no... but in my twisted eye it's extra credit cause I liked the book.

Fight Club is special to me in its own way because it was the movie that helped me to break my mold and broaden my horizons a little bit...and my taste has gotten so much more respectable since!







and, Brad Pitt shirtless for two hours

Tombstone. It has a variety of characters that men can identify with.
Plus, the old west was very manly man.

i really don't believe in guy or women flicks...there are some movies that i like that my husband doesn't...these can be war, sports, westerns, or action flicks... he likes sci fi and comic book heros...but rob also likes some chick flics too...more than me sometimes

Where is my John Wayne
Where is my Prairie Song
Where is my happy ending
Where have all the cowboys gone

Where is my Marlboro man
Where is his shiny gun
Where is my lonely ranger
Where have all the cowboys gone....







Sorry... I'll return to my gender crisis now...

I understand that. I also enjoy all types of movies. But that does not preclude the fact that something can be labeled as a "guy flick" based on cultural stereotypes as they apply to a particular genre. And we are talking about something as simple as genres since typical chick flicks are romantic comedies and typcial guy flicks would be actioners, sci-fi, or horror-- or sub-sets of those genres.

I'm not trying to marginalize your diversity in taste, I'm merely asking you to acknowledge something and try to apply your choices to it.

You mess with this guy and you'll get the horns because Scarface is a piece of fan-boy poop.

I would have to guess that it's got guns and babes. Maybe James Bomd movies. Its got the guns, the cars, the explosions, the babes, and alcohol. It's everything I ever wanted in life. I'm not a real big fan of those movies but as far as criteria, I'd say Jame's Bond has them. Whatever.
