Brad Pitt's performance Mickey O'Neil and Vinnie Jones performance as Bullet Tooth Tony.

Memorable Man Quote:

And you thought you smelled some good old pussy, and have brought your two small mincey faggot balls along for a good old time. But you've got your parties mangled up. There's no pussy here, just a dose that'll make you wish you were born a woman. Like a prick, you are having second thoughts. You are shrinking, and your two little balls are shrinking with you. And the fact that you've got "Replica" written down the side of your gun...And the fact that I've got "Desert Eagle point five O"... Should precipitate your balls into shrinking, along with your presence. Now... F*ck off!

Connor, Murphy: Spiritus Sancti.

11. Sin City

Why It's On The List:
This movie kicks ass from the very beginning, and is overloaded with female nudity.  Mickey rourke Rouke  plays the ultimate badass Marv who pulverizes anything in his way.  Mix in Bruce Willis, Jessica Alba,  Rosario Dawson, Benicio Del Toro, Brittney Murphy, and Michael Madsen and you have one of the most mantastic casts of the century.

8. Crank

Why It's On The List:
This movie is balls to the wall from the very beginning as Jason Statham runs around the city doing drugs, killing bad guys and sexing up women in the street.  The action never stops in this movie, seriously ... it kicks you in the crotch from the very beginning and doesn't stop until the very end.  Bonus points for demeaning treatment of his girlfriend (Amy Smart) and for female nudity.

Memorable Man Quote:
Chev Chelios: I'm going to get that little fucker if it's the last thing I do.
Chev Chelios: It may actually be the last thing I do.

7. Braveheart

Why It's On The List:

6. Platoon

Why It's On The List:
Maybe the most real-life army movie to date, starring Charlie Sheen, the ultimate woman slayer.

Memorable Man Quote:
Chris Taylor: The village, which had stood for maybe a thousand years, didn't know we were coming that day. If they had, they would've run. Barnes was the eye of our rage. And through him, our captain Ahab, we would set things right again.

5. Wall Street

Why It's On The List:
While not super violent this movie showcases the fact that men have class, dignity, and more power in their pinky finger than women do throughout their entire bodies.  Charlie Sheen and Michael Douglas team up to get deals done, screw fast women and makes tons of money.  Just a couple of men kicking ass and taking names.

Memorable Man Quote:
Gordon Gekko:  The richest one percent of this country owns half our country's wealth, five trillion dollars. One third of that comes from hard work, two thirds comes from inheritance, interest on interest accumulating to widows and idiot sons and what I do, stock and real estate speculation. It's bullshit. You got ninety percent of the American public out there with little or no net worth. I create nothing. I own. We make the rules, pal. The news, war, peace, famine, upheaval, the price per paper clip. We pick that rabbit out of the hat while everybody sits out there wondering how the hell we did it. Now you're not naive enough to think we're living in a democracy, are you buddy? It's the free market. And you're a part of it. You've got that killer instinct. Stick around pal, I've still got a lot to teach you.

4. Die Hard

Why It's On The List:
Bruce Willis is thrown in the middle of a terrorist situation and alerts the authorities.  The authorities are incompetent idiots, so Willis just does the only thing he knows how to do ... kill a ton of Germans.

Johnny Ringo: My fight's not with you, Holliday.

Johnny Ringo: Oh that. I was just foolin' about.
Doc Holliday: I wasn't.

2. American Psycho

Why It's On The List:
Christian Bale delivers a cineMANtic performance of the ages as Patrick Bateman, a wallstreet exec in the 80's.  He drugs woman, chops up hookers, kills hobos and loves Huey Lewis and the News.  The movie features a good deal of nudity (including the classic "Don't just stare at it.  Eat it" line) and murder, the perfect combo for a man flick.  No woman on earth has or would ever like this movie, while every man has throughly enjoyed the homicidal activities of Patrick Bateman.

Memorable Man Quote:
Patrick Bateman: You're a f*cking ugly b*tch. I want to stab you to death, and then play around with your blood.

1. Fight Club

Why It's On The List:
Brad Pitt and Ed Norton Jr. beat the sh*t out of themselves, hold underground fighting matches, blow buildings up, turn women's fat into soap, sell the soap-fat back to women, blackmail bosses and bang chicks.  All while having some of the best (and most manly) dialogue in any modern day movie.

Memorable Man Quote:
Tyler Durden: How much can you know about yourself, you've never been in a fight? I don't wanna die without any scars. So come on; hit me before I lose my nerve.

 

 And that's it!  Feel free to make a selection off of this menu of movie manliness the next time you have your bro's over.
