Many guys wouldn't want to admit having any "girly" favorites, but I've watched enough movies that it was inevitable that I would encounter at least a few enjoyable, though less-than-macho, flicks. Below I've listed what I believe to be the 5 most Manly Guy Movies that I consider fravorites followed by the 5 Chick Flickiest.

MANLIEST

THE GOOD, THE BAD AND THE UGLY
When you have three badass gunslingers killing anybody who gets in their way for three hours with hardly any women in sight, the Manliness factor cannot be denied. True, Tuco is shown taking a bath (cleanliness and baths are girly), but he kills a guy while he's doing it. These are some hard hombres.

COMMANDO
Some would argue that this is among the gayest movies ever made with all its homoerotic flexing and trash talk, but even if Matrix and Bennett do secretly long for each other these guys can still lay waste to entire armies. I watch the Rachel Maddow (my favorite lesbian political commentator) show on occasion and she has soldiers on who were unfairly excused from duty due to not having the correct sexual orientation. If John Matrix openly admitted being gay and mouth kissed the president, the military brass need only smell the stink of the piles of rotting corpses left in his wake to know this guy belongs out on the battlefield. Let's party!

36TH CHAMBER OF THE SHAOLIN
Any guy who becomes a kung fu monk and kicks ass so well that he gets to have his own Shaolin chamber is undeniably manly.

DJANGO
The guy drags around a villain decimating machine gun in a coffin. The symbolism isn't too hard to decipher. And even after having his hands get trampled bloody by horses, Django still ain't a bad shot.

RAIDERS OF THE LOST ARK
Out of all the characters in my five Manly movies, only Indiana Jones shows any indication of having a love relationship with a chick (John Matrix does have a daughter, but she only exists as a plot device, and he probably keeps Rae Dawn Chong around to clean up bodies). Still, Indy's woman Marion can drink guys twice her size under the table. And how many Nazis does Dr. Jones kill anyway? I'm sure he helped thin out their ranks considerably before they attacked Poland. Hell, Indy probably won World War II before it even started (with the help of God's wrath).

GIRLIEST

MURIEL'S WEDDING
The greatest Chick Flick ever made. Muriel listens to ABBA to stave off depression and so do I. I am Muriel (or Travis Bickle).

NIGHTS OF CABIRIA
If you consider other prostitute movies I like, such as Vice Squad for example, Nights of Cabiria is pretty girly. All this adorable street-walker wanted was to be loved and I felt her pain.

VALLEY OF THE DOLLS
I am erotically attracted to Sharon Tate (I try not to think about her real-life fate), so I don't watch this for entirely girly reasons. Still, I find myself analyzing their outfits and getting drawn into the bitchiness. And the beautiful, but melancholy, theme song touches me.

3 WOMEN
This is all about chicks with problems, as aesthetically appealing as it is. There isn't anything for a 100% macho man to identify with here (thankfully, I am only about 25% macho, and so my range of film appreciation is broader).

JOHNNY GUITAR
Women run the show in this Western, and most of the guys are spineless sheep. Joan Crawford and Merceds McCambridge are pretty manly, though. (Joan Crawford was hot in her younger days, but then she became one of those "handsome" women.)
