Top Ten Movies You Love That Make You Question Your Manhood

There you are, sitting on the couch, flipping the channels away. The house is quiet. You are alone. As you scroll through the cable guide, certain titles pop out at you. You love these movies. Yet, you are ashamed. Ashamed of what people may think. “They will most certainly make fun of me”, you mumble. You’ve kept these secrets tucked way back inside your tiny brain. You fear what your wife, girlfriend, or the guys would think. Your secret has been kept safe from the general public. Well that is, until now.

You see, I refuse to be the only guy out there that likes loves these movies. I can’t take the solitude any longer. We must unite. We must form a bond stronger than the naysayers. In fact, we need to have our own parade. Yes, a parade! We’re here! We’re que….Um, nevermind. Now on to the list!

10. Can’t Hardly Wait

Dedicated to the class of 1998 (the most awesome year ever) this movie is just plain awesome. I am pretty sure I went to high school with 44 Kenny “Why you gotta steal my flavor” Fishers. Also, in case you didn’t know, Denise really is a tampon.

9. Bring It On

Eliza Dushku, Kirsten Dunst, and Gabrielle Union in cheerleader uniforms. Enough said.

8. She’s All That

Remember when Rachael Leigh Cook was the hot thing and Anna Paquin was relatively unknown? Man, times have changed.

7. Drive Me Crazy

Now before you hang me out to dry on this one, hear me out. This film stars Ali Larter. A year later, she sports a whipped cream bikini on Varsity Blues. And please. Don’t act like you didn’t want to bone Clarissa when she was explaining it all.

6. Steel Magnolias

“Sammy DeWayne Desoto, what is this in my Frigidaire?’ Every single time I get a beer out of my own Frigidaire, I have to say that line.

5. Romy and Michelle’s High School Reunion

Oh, come on. Like you never made up a story about inventing Post It notes. You didn’t? Well, pin a rose on your nose.

4. Ghost

Don’t even act like you wouldn’t go gay for the late Patrick Swayze. If he wanted you to disrobe and make beautiful pottery, you totally would. If not, he would go all Dalton on you and kill you with bare hands. Save your life, my friends. Disrobe and make pottery. It’s for your own safety.

3. 10 Things I Hate About You

Mmmmm….Julia Stiles. Throw in the very dead, but handsome Heath Ledger and you got yourself some sexified goodness. Sorry, Heath. I wish I could quit you too.

2. Notting Hill

What the fuck is it with Hugh Grant? I mean, the man was humiliated by being caught with a prostitute, but I couldn’t care less. I am a sucker for his movies. Is it because he’s British? Who knows? All I know, he makes magic on the movie screen. Magic, I tell you.

1. Love Actually

This is quite possibly the best movie of all time. Yes, I just said that. If you watch this movie and don’t have feel good happy feelings, there is something wrong with you. The plus side? It’s full of smoking hot women and menfolk. Throw in a dash of love, you got yourself some thing for your heart and your naughty bits.

. . . . .

TJ is totally gay for Patrick Swayze and Hugh Grant.

Love all of these.
Stephanie
Love all of these – of course I’m a girl. I make a point to watch Love Actually at least twice a year. “Here comes the Colin! God of Sex.” :) Plus, a then-little known January Jones as one of Colin’s American hotties who goes crazy for his “cute, British accent.”

http://studioeightonesix.wordpress.com TJ Johnson
Um, why do you think I always try to fake a British accent?

Sharon
I’m a girl, but I love every single one of these movies. I love it when guys can be man enough to say that they love chick flicks. Good on ya! :)
And sorry to be a grammar nazi, but in #2, the correct wording is actually “couldn’t care less.” If you could care less, you actually care a little bit. *runs and hides*

http://studioeightonesix.wordpress.com TJ Johnson
Ooooh! Thanks for the pick up! (Grammar Nazi 1, TJ 0)

G.G.R
I think the pornographic couple in Love Actually is the cutest couple of all time. I wish they had their own movie!

http://studioeightonesix.wordpress.com TJ Johnson
I like Colin Firth and the Portuguese girl. He learned her language “just in cases”. Man, I am a woman.

G.G.R
Oh, (wo)man. I’ll watch anything that has Colin Firth in it. As a New woman, do you feel that he is a tasty dish?

http://studioeightonesix.wordpress.com TJ Johnson
I’ll let you know after I get my first period. Right now, I just have too many emotions to deal with. Where is Judy Blume when you need her?

http://www.crazywithasideofawesomesauce.blogspot.com andygirl
that’s my fave couple in Love Actually too! and I’m pretty sure I’m a dude. no, wait. no I’m not. I’m a chick. shit.

Stephanie
Aw, I love the Portuguese girl, Aurelia. “Just in cases.” Sniff. (And actually, my husband loves Love Actually – I think it does have the right mix of chick flick and humor).
Keli
My husband who thinks that TV only plays sports will stop and watch Love Actually anytime it’s on.
It’s just a good movie.
Suzy Q
Where’s “Center Stage” in this lineup? If you’re a real man-vag, you’d have listed it. Or, is that your super-seekretest guilty pleasure?

http://studioeightonesix.wordpress.com TJ Johnson
I’ve never seen Center Stage. Go ahead, throw rocks at me. However, I totally forgot to include Save the Last Dance. Mmmmm….More Julia Stiles.

Suzy Q
See it. It’s on almost every weekend on one of those “women’s” channels. Young ballerinas (and ballet boys) are hott and full of the dramaz. Add in the bad acting and Zoe Saldana, toss in a six pack, and you’ve got yourself a good afternoon.

Ugh, I haaaated Love Actually. I know that puts me in the minority. That being said, Steel Magnolias is one of my all time favorites. What can I say, I grew up around southern women.
http://table4five.net Elizabeth
I love all of these too. And like Suzy Q, I’d add Center Stage to the list. There’s a dance sequence near the end that successfully combines Stevie Wonder, Jamiroquai, and a guy riding a motorcycle on stage. You’d like it.
April
Dude, I thought Melissa Joan Hart was Clarissa Explains it All. Am I going to have to turn in my child of the 80s card if I’m wrong about that?
Discuss…

http://studioeightonesix.wordpress.com TJ Johnson
You are most certainly correct. I was referring to Melissa Joan Hart AND Ali Larter in #7. Although, it doesn’t come out as clear as I thought!

http://sarahandthegoonsquad.com/ Sarah Goon Squad Sarah
Nope. You’re totally gay.

http://studioeightonesix.wordpress.com TJ Johnson
Only on Tuesdays. What’s today? Yep. It’s Tuesday.

Steel Magnolias & Love Actually make me do the ugly crying thing, but in a good way, mostly.

Drive Me Crazy is a beautiful, complex, well-acted, fantastic movie, and I will not hear a word against it. The book it was based on is complete crap, though.
Mama Lost
Wow. I feel old. Most of these movies I haven’t seen.
I’m a girl, so I guess it doesn’t count, but The Sure Thing was awesome in my day. My husband hates to admit he loved Weird Science. (See? Old).
Mama Lost
(who is still weeping that LOST ended)

LOVE The Sure Thing. I always thought it was weird that Miss Sure Thing always wore some kind of bicep bracelet, like they were covering up something on her arm or that it was actually a highly advanced fake arm that was being held on by nothing more than her constantly-changing-and-always-coordinated-with-her-outfit bicep bracelet.
I also thought the way John Cusack drank his beer was awesome. If I drank beer, that’s how I’d drink it.

Kristine
I’m so watching Love Actually tonight. Love that movie – haven’t seen it for ages.
There’s actually a few movies I haven’t seen here too – have to add them to my list!
norm
I haven’t seen a single one of those movies … wait. No. I’ve seen Ghost. Thought I might die. Nearly chewed off my arm to escape. But I was saved by Vincent Schiavelli’s brillantly psycho performance. RIP, Vincent.

I’m not “gay for Patrick Swayze and Hugh Grant” but I do like 2 of your movies: Steel Magnolias and Notting Hill. I haven’t seen all of these movies, but I do remember when “Rachael Leigh Cook was the hot thing.” Saw that movie at Sundance and she was hot.

I’m not a man, so it’s difficult for me to question my manhood, but these movies are guilty pleasures for the lady folk as well. Now I wish I could go and rent ALL OF THEM and watch them back to back.
