This past month The Men's Journal released its list of the 50 Best Guy Movies of All Time. At times controversial, off the wall and just plain ridiculous, the list just didn't measure up to Recess' standards. So what did we do about it? Well, we pouted mostly--and then whined some--but then we came up with some additions to their list that we felt should not have been overlooked:
Aspen Extreme--Two friends leave their pencil pusher jobs to share the slopes with high-flying alpine acrobats and ski bunnies galore, and we loved every second of it.
Bad Boys--It's not called Bad Girls. 'Nuff said. Best of the Best II--A fatal martial arts tournament, an illegal gambling ring and bones shattering like dry timber; what more could a man ask for?
Heat--The only film to co-star DeNiro and Pacino notably omitted--and these Men's Journal hacks call themselves film writers.
The Rock--This buddy movie has a hardened Sean Connery and a nerdy Nicolas Cage breaking into Alcatraz. Could anything be more bad-ass?
Shakespeare in Love--Sometimes a guy just wants a good cry. You got a problem with that?
Willow--Any movie that can bring together dragons, wizards, trolls, attractive women and a town full of midgets makes our list any day.
