The Ultimate “Men” Films



Action, explosions and bloody fights, these are the movies that men love, and as most guys so does and the painter and scenic artist Mark N Tompkins. Although occasionally everyone likes to relax with a fun comedy, or watch a nice thriller or adventure, the action remains to be the male’s favorite genre. Action films are different from all other films genres, as they always have a lead "male" hero with glorifying powers in every way possible.

In most cases, these male heroes are real physical examples of men dominating with their power. However, not all main characters have to be goons. Some of them are real charmers, seducers, and great drivers, and those are all great features of every real man. But for some reason, nearly all of them are about soldiers, athletes, cops, and every kind of a loner. Guys or men movies have a straightforward moral, and all that matters is being brave and honorable, regardless of the consequences.

Popular actors like Bruce Lee, Bruce Willis, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Jackie Chan, Russell Crowe, Al Pacino, Marlon Brando, Sylvester Stallone, Chuck Norris, Vin Diesel, and Clint Eastwood, have all left a strong impression on the male population. Kids have always tried and will always try to be like them, while older men admire them for their strength and masculine spirit. However not every action film has to follow one same pattern. For Tompkins, the best man TV series and movies are as diverse as the men who love them.

This action “men” movies are the ones every guy can look to when he needs a manly boost. Mark N Tompkins also describes them as movies that you can watch with a group of people, since they don’t have intricate or complex plotlines, but are rather movies with unforgettable moments that are best digested in a male group. These “guy” films are funny, they have explosions, car chases, violence trumps, war beats peace, and all those masculine themes that guys seem to love. Some of Tompkins' favorite action films, are: Gladiator, 300, Rambo, Fight Club, The Dirty Dozen, Rocky, The Godfather, Enter the Dragon and Predator.
