Why in the hell do women voluntarily watch movies they know going to make them cry? I just don't understand it. My wife actually seeks out these kinds of movies.

I believe there is brain damage involved.

It's that darn double X chromosome........

However, despite this signigicant matter, my favorite movies are mob flicks. I especially loved Once Upon A Time in America. James Woods ends up in the trash truck all compacted. De Niro kicks butt!!

Mostly "action" flicks bore me to tears. Why do men want to watch them and make me cry? I don't know why men find them so enthralling. Most are just too cheesy to even bother with watching.

So, tell my why men voluntarily watch crap like Rambo, Independence Day and Die Hard..........uuuhhhhgggg. : ) Where's the plot?

It's a guy thing. Every real man wants, in his own mind and spirit, be able to do his duty, to stand in the face of overwhelming odds in defense of all that is good and right, and prevail. It is not even the accolades it's like the line in the old Western where the quiet Cowboy single handedly captures the Cattle Rustlers, wards off an Indian attack, collars the crooked Sheriff, and then shoots down four fingers of "Red Eye" without gasping. Then when confronted with being told by the pretty Cattle Baron heiress how wonderful he is, who has fallen madly in love with him, then wrings the brim of his hat, looks down and kicks the dust with the toe of his boot, looks up and bashfully and uncomfortably says: "Aw, shucks ma'am, twarn't nuthin'."

It's the same in reverse on "Chick Flicks". Why on earth would someone want to set through 2 boring schmaltzy hours of "Fried Green Tomatoes" or "Love Story". Yecccccccch!!!!!!!!

Now, I don't care who you are, male or female, we can all agree on The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly as an excellent movie. I also liked the Magnificent Seven. Another one that was more about camrades and killin' bad guys than saving damsels in distress.

It's the genre of "drama" that turns guys off I think.......and that goes beyond the movie theatre. : )

Oh, how could I forget the Dirty Dozen......I loved that one. Did you see the Unforgiven? That was great too.

Better, and based on a true story, was "The Devil's Brigade" with William Holden.

The one I would like to see made was another true incident. A Marine Combat Brigade was landed at the wrong spot on one of the Island campaigns, Saipan I think, during WWII. It was one of those miraculous accidents, because they were landed in the path of an approaching Japanese Armored Division, out manned, and out gunned they used the tight terrain to defeat a force 4 times their size.

You thought "The Devil's Brigade" was better than Unforgiven or the Dirty Dozen? Or both?

I haven't seen "The Unforgiven" but yes I thought it was better than "The Dirty Dozen". Although I am a big Clint Walker fan (played "Posy"). Mainly because it was based on a true story and the chemistry of the actors was more realistic.

It wasn't just Clint that made the Dirty Dozen so great....it was Lee Marvin, Charles Bronson, Telly Savales too. The cast included many WWII vets.

Lee Marvin is hard to beat in Dirty Dozen. : ) But, alas, I'll give the "Devil's Brigrade" a try.

Not as much gut wrenching action, but a good story. All the better because it is true. And I have to agree on Lee Marvin. I also liked him in "Donovan's Reef" with John Wayne.
