I can’t remember them all, but I know Army of Darkness puts her to sleep every time. But she brought of Scarface and I brought up Taxi Driver. And then we both talked about it and realized having the operative phrase we both disliked was the title of the whole piece. It’s really presumptuous about the gender as a whole.

I’d have included Harvey, Key Largo, The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance, and just about anything by John Carpenter. Especially They Live and Big Trouble in Little China. She brought up Blade Runner.

And she did say that if there was a chick flick list, she wouldn’t have seen anywhere near the number I had off this one.

(although actually including whole series for stuff like Indiana Jones and Star Wars and then wimping out on Eastwood’s Man with No Name trilogy leaves me speechless)

I think that Sin City should be on the list. It’s a fine movie about men trying to live up to their own expectations.

You want to feel better about doing your job tomorrow? Check out ‘Cinderella Man’. You won’t complain for a couple of months.

The scene where Jim Braddock goes back to the welfare office to pay back the money he received in aid while unemployed makes me tear up, I swear. And the great thing is that it’s a fact. Russel Crowe bought the very receipt the government gave Braddock.
