MAN MOVIES

(Reposted from the myspace blog)

Alright, I haven't been here for a while. What can I say, life gets busy. I have several new posts brewing in the green-shaded copper cauldron that is my fervent imagination concerning topics of diverse natures. Among those topics is commenting on the absolutely moronic idea of Democratic presidential candidate John Edwards to INCREASE funds for section 8 housing. (ARRGH!) Those of you from Baden and others who have heard me rant on this subject know how this makes my blood boil. But I will get to that later.

For now I want to list movies that every Amercan male should not only be familiar with, but also should have the entire script memorized (or at least know the plotline). It should be the type of movie that you always stop at when you are channel surfing. Also, it should be something you would watch with a buddy, not your wife or girlfriend. Its not in any particular order and please add your favorites in the comments. I'll see about putting out a ranked list after you add yours and lobby for your favorites. Please keep in mind, the author has no scruples, so bribes and free drinks will be accepted with enthusiasm!

(Please note that this will be an ongoing project)
