Here goes, fellas! Scott Meyer's guide to he-man movies caught my attention from its very first entry! In the section called "Da Classics", the movie "Bad Day at Black Rock" was listed--it's my favorite Spencer Tracy movie; when Tracy stops short of turning the other cheek in front of bully Ernest Borgnine, and judo- chops him into unconsciousness, you would be hard-pressed not to enjoy the movie ... This guide rates movies by a testosterone-type scale: Violence, profanity, babes, cool cars, and hero worship. Whether you guys prefer westerns, chop-socky films, ballsy comedies, horror flix, or damb near anything else, this is the book to buy for non-fans of "chick flicks". No Steel Magnolia flicks here, pal!

This book is written for men who want action flicks with lots of babes (preferably unclothed) and lots of violence (blood, gore, car chases and crashes). Scott Meyer rates over 225 movies by how much violence, how many beautiful babes, cool cars, profanity, and hero worship. Clint Eastwood is one of author's favorites. The chapter "Clint's Best Westerns" reminds us that the reason guys watch is "Anyone who has ever crossed Clint--and that's just about everyone--gets paid back." Don't forget Dirty Harry--movies covered are Dirty Harry, Magnum Force, The Enforcer, Sudden Impact and The Dead Pool. "Memorable Lines," a sub-heading in each chapter, brings back some of the great lines from Dirty Harry flicks. Remember "...you have to ask yourself one question: 'Do I feel lucky?' Well, do you, punk?" or "...Go ahead. Make my day." "The Best Of Bondage" chapter reviews most of the James Bond movies which all rate high in the above mentioned categories except profanity. One of the best sub-headings for each movie is "Honey, you'll like this movie." This is how a guy can convince his date to watch the movie with him. For the James Bond movies, the guy just needs to tell his woman "...everyone always goes formal, no matter what the occasion or hour of the day." The chapter, "Posers: Almost, but Not Quite" lists movies that are described as real guys' movies, but they are not. You might be surprised at this list. There are also awards for winners in categories on "Guns and Gore," "Vehicular Sensations," and "Skin Deep." Grab the remote and push PLAY.
