It occurred to me that many of our younger members might not be aware of some of the really great "older" guy flicks that exist. I am sure we have many many registered users and Idiots who were born in the late 80's and early 90's. So I thought I would try to start a fun thread where we could list a pre - 1990 guy flick that is a classic, thereby introducing the younger folks to some cool movies. For example, we had a XI member in TS who had never heard of "Cool Hand Luke". Girls, feel free to join in but remember this thread is for guy flicks. May be you ladies could use these ideas to surprise your man date night. Watch one of these movies and bring him a beer and you will have one happy man. So my first suggestion is, "Cool Hand Luke". So many great lines in that movie like, "shaking the bush boss", or "what we have here is a failure to communicate." The story revolves around a guy who is sent to prison in the south and tries to escape. Guys, this might be a good date movie because Paul Newman is the star and women love him. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0061512/ Who has the next movie? 1.) Cool Hand Luke 2.)

My suggestion for second is The Dirty Dozen. Released in 1967, it had a great cast including Lee Marvin, Ernest Borgnine and Charles Bronson. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0061578/ There are dozens more from that time that are on my list.

A more watchable movie is Play Dirty with Michael Caine & Nigel Davenport. Davenport played a marvelous role as an undisciplined, rotten scoundrel. I think he thoroughly enjoyed playing his part. In an earlier thread, SOB led me to several Brit war movies I'd never seen, and Ice Cold in Alex turned out to be a gem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Awards
