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.
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?

Good vs evil is a great plot. Timeless.
Independence Day was horrible though, imo. It was so bad it was funny. The president as a fighter pilot? Yeah. I don't know who it was that played him, but I can act better than he can.

lol.....that one was a dud.
I enjoyed the Matrix, more sci-fi than action, despite Keanu Reeves impaired acting abilities. It's amazing that the movie could hold up despite that massive flaw, but it did.
Die Hard, Independence Day and Rambo do no justice to good vs evil plot. Star Wars, Lord of the Rings, the Dark Knight are far superior in working with this plot, IMHO. : )
That is why Star Wars is such a classic, even now. Not sure about the other ones, because I haven't seen them. I'm not real big on going to the movies. But you're probably right. Rambo was more of a gut-level reluctant revenge tale that men like, Die Hard was almost as silly as Ind. Day. Don't people know that real high explosives don't produce great big fireballs, and that magazines need to be changed once in a while?
I like the mob movies, especially with Joe Pesci (sp?). He plays a great psychopath in both Casino and Goodfellas and I enjoy his ultimate demise in both. He even looks like Tony Spilotro, the real mobster portrayed in Casino. Those roles were perfect casting.

What? Are you saying that there's no such thing as an endless magazine? : )
I like Pesci too. He's a great gangster. Did you see 8 Heads in a Duffle Bag? That's one of those dark humor flicks and Joe was excellent. I recommend that one if you haven't seen it, I think you would like it.
Did you ever see Once Upon a Time in America? It's really long......four hours, but it's great. I loved GoodFellas too, Pesci, De Niro and Ray Liotta were fantastic. Some say, that was the best mob movie ever, but it's a tough call when OUTiA is in the mix and the Godfather. Al Paccino was great in that. I never tire of watching a good mob movie.
