There's a guy that doesn't admit he likes the Goonies? Was there a chick-flick story line that I missed?

That list makes no sense.

The Princess Bride? Inconceivable!

Beetlejuice? Really? I know loads of men and women alike who love this movie. Not only do they not deny it, it comes up as a fave before it's even asked about. I can't imagine somebody denying (or, semantically, not admitting) that they love it.

The tits (x3... I see what you did there), indeed.

So, as far as I can tell, the criteria for this list is any movie that prominently features a lady and doesn't include gratuitous shots of shirtless, greased-up men with big... guns, or the anti-thesis of Spike's current line-up of movies.

These are certainly the "men's men."

Pretty much every 30 something guy I know likes all of those movies and quotes them fluently in casual conversation.

Ever get the feeling that the people who come up with lists for stuff like this are actually just bored or suffering from writers block so they just write any old BS to fill space?

Not Pajibans, surely, but this guy? Yeah.

Uh, yeah. This list makes no sense. Most of those aren't even chick flicks in any sense of the word. Now, if they had "A Guy Thing" which hersheyguy loves, or "10 things I hate about you" (Ledger - squee!) then maybe.

"But I love my sketchers!"
"Thats because you don't have a Prada backpack."

Also, "Center Stage" because I try to find a way to fit "I'm the best damn dancer at the American Ballet Company, who the hell are you!" into daily conversation and hersheyguy is still with me.

More than half this list is completely BS. Say Anything was the first date for me and Mrs. Newman and I'm proud to say it worked wonders.

Spike TV's Approved List of Movies the Be-Testicled May Admit to Enjoying:

Die Hard
First Blood
The Godfather
Alien
Personal Best (Sports AND lesbians!)
True Lies (Schwarzenegger and a horse)
Eraser (Schwarzenegger and crocodiles)
Jingle All the Way (Schwarzenegger and Sinbad)
Fast Times at Ridgemont High (masturbation is fun)
Bad Boys (so is shit that gets all 'splodey)

SkitMax, I'm in agreement with your list, except for the honking exception of Joss Stone. A six-foot tall, barefoot, cockney chick that can wail like the side-baby of Etta James and Steve Perry?

If one is a straight dude and does not admit her awesomeness, we cannot be good friends. (Not you specifically, just a general rule I have.)

"But now when your friends start listing off awesome movies from the '80s - Back to the Future, Aliens, Predator - The Goonies gets mysteriously omitted. Why? Because it stars a bunch of kids? Because it's a modern day fairy tale? Because it's about friendship, instead of violent aliens or time travel? Well, whatever the reasons for this conscious omission, it was and still is one of the oft overlooked gems of the '80s, and everyone who grew up watching it knows this."

Whaaaaaat?! "...still is one of the oft overlooked gems of the '80s"? Are you friggin' kidding me? Who the hell overlooks this flick as one of the '80s greats? Shit, anytime I've ever started talking about movies from the eighties with somebody, this flick comes up. Whoever wrote this obviously knows jack shit about crap.

"A six-foot tall, barefoot, cockney chick that can wail like the side-baby of Etta James and Steve Perry"

Yes. I do love me some Joss Stone. I will no longer hide it. Also meant to say "should I happen to be with a bunch of guys I don't know".

This definitely is absolute shenanigans. I love every movie on that list, minus Pride and Prejudice and that's only because I've never even seen it.

The ultimate "never admit to liking it film for a guy" has to be Staying Alive. Not only would you be admiting to being a chick, you'd be admitting to shitty taste in movies.

Sheeeeit. It goes hand in hand with "Urban Cowboy"! Both fantastic! It's where "Satan's Alley" comes from!

Anyway, it's obvious Generation Douchebag TM wrote this, right?

I love the anger in this post. YOU TELL 'EM, SETH! Fuck those morons!

Also, Sense and Sensibility is one of my favorite movies of all time. But yeah, really not a guy movie at all.

Skittimus, no matter what the thread topic, you always have a million chicks throwing themselves at your wit (myself included!)

My guy friend in high school who was a big bruiser football and lacrosse player had a deep dark secret he never told anyone but me...he always cried at the end of Dirty Dancing. Made taking his virginity that much sweeter :-)

This list has to be a joke. My Dude and I own Princess Bride - one of his oldest (male) friends gave it to us for Chrismaka a fews back. Plus, other than my high school friends, I've only watched that movie with dudes. Most recently with three dudes. And they are manly. So, fuck that.

([([(I've never seen Goonies - it came out before I could speak English - NOT my fault - want to see it - please don't kill)])])

PS - Hi, Julie! I miss you! School is hard! (like deez nutz!)

Jay, I owe you a goddamed Irish Car Bomb - Secret and Dove just smell nice. Period. I've tried a boatlod of "mens" deodorants, shaving creams, razors, aftershave balms, shower gels, etc., and most of them all have the same "whatthefuckisthat?" stink about them. Like chemical-ish. I just don't get it. Aveda, on the other hand, has stuff for guys that smells... pleasant. It just smells clean and good and natural. Lastly, when I mentioned razors up there? Yeah. I use a Schick Quattro for Women. The razor head is larger, it's got more aloe strip on it, it's more flexible, they seem to last longer, and above all? No goddamed razor bumps/rash. Seriously. I just shaved with a lady's razor this morning while listening to the new Kings of Leon (very good, by the way), eating a chunk of leftover steak, and balancing a scotch on the rocks on my mid-morning erection. It ain't ladylike, it just works better.

SLOTH LOVE CHUNK!

Hee. I wear Old Spice High Endurance ('fresh' scent) because I hate the way women's deodorants smell. I'm not a baby-powdered flower, y'all.

Maybe this list was in celebration of October Fool's Day?

What About "The Notebook" I loved that, wait, oh no there go my balls back into my stomach.

I have personally never understood the appeal of The Goonies. Maybe it's because I hate almost all 80s movies, what with the bad hair and bad clothes and terrible music. I've only tried to watch The Goonies twice and I've fallen asleep both times.

The Princess Bride is cute but doesn't warrant such rabid fanaticism. The music in it is horrible and it really isn't that funny. It's like a Mel Brooks movie...funny but not THAT funny.

shit, I own Beetlejuice, The Goonies, and The Princess Bride (and the book? SO much funnier than the movie. For serious!).

:starts plotting to crash Estelle and Julie's party:

"My name Inigo Montoya. You killed my father. Prepare to die."

'Nuff said.

And to think you always hear about the "did you use my razor to shave your legs??", but not the other way around. Hmmm. I tried the regular Quattro and it left me rougher than my trusty Gillettes do, but the "women's" might be different.

I've been using Aveeno shave gel the past year. It's made with oatmeal and smells like almonds. My face got a lot more sensitive and prone to bumps in curvy areas a few years ago (on the other hand, my metabolism kicked up a little) and I had to be more careful and generally avoid going against the grain, even though my sparse little joke of a beard begs for it. Neutrogena's line is pretty good too.

Zorro The Gay Blade! Ha! I didn't think anyone but me remembered that! Last year I finally got to shout "And I'm gonna be 40!!!......in eight years!!!" This year someone better give me a pullover sweater.

Thanks Admin (why the eleven)! Any chance you still have some sort of employee discount number you wanna pass on to me? That foofy shit ain't cheap... Becky TTG, your hubsam's welcome to use my shower anytime. Bottom line is, if it's made to be more soothing to the skin because it's made for a woman, well paint me chartreuse and do my hair up in rollers. Lady stuff just feels better...

However, in all fairness, should I meet a pack of ravenous manly men who love Spike, Maxim, Tucker Max, and drink nothing but Bud because of the chicks in the commercials, and they ask me what I dig? Here's my list (this doesn't mean I don't like some of these things, you just gotta play to the crowd, catfish?):

• Operation USA.
• Carmen Electra.
• Brian Johnson era AC/DC is better than Bon Scott era AC/DC.
• "You Might Be a Redneck" jokes.
• That Kimbo Slice is gonna kick Ken Shamrock's ass (you call me a racist because of this, you're a shithead - I think Shamrock's gonna pull it off, end of discussion).
• Debating the finer points of Calvin pissing of Ford vs. Chevy.
• Giant decals in my rear window that clearly state what kind of car I drive.
• How soccer is for queers (no offense to the gay/lesbian community on this one, just stating how it might be brought up whilst swilling some shit domestic beer and talking sports with guys wearing No Fear/Big Johnson shirts. By the way, why is it "gay & lesbian" community? how come they just don't say "gay community"? I mean, lesbians can say they're gay, but the fellas really can't say they're lesbians - how's that work?).
• Cambell's Chunky Soup.
• Texas Hold 'em (don't even think about holding this against me - I stated very fucking clearly that this list doesn't mean I don't like these things, just that in the company of Axe Body Spray-wearing guys, it'd be a topic of discussion).
• How Chicklets aren't "real" gum.

Yeah, it's eleven vs. ten, but so what? You can suck it, Nancy!

Actually Skitt I still get 25% off so it makes that shit only twice as expensive as regular stuff. 11?! I thought those were ll's. I'd better put some cucumbers on my eyes they're getting puffy.

I can do 100 pushups while watching Titanic. In fact I do that every Tuesday. Thursdays I do squat thrusts while watching legally blonde

Well, Spike Lee hates most films with white people so it makes sense.

I'll see your throat punch and truffle shuffle, And raise you a sagitarius death grip with a hetorosexual stomp! Viva La Lauper!

I love John Cusack like a white kid loves jack johnson in his college years.

Have things gotten that bad out there?

Spike TV is geared toward overly masculine frat boys who pound cases of Bud Light and play every intramural sport they can to hide the fact that they're basically closet cases who steal peeks at their friends in the shower.

While I can't say I've seen Love, Actually or Sense & Sensibility, I can proudly admit to seeing and enjoying the rest of the films on that list. Now, if you'll excuse me, I have to get ready for tonight's flag football game.

Skitts, me and my coworkers go with the term "greco-roman"

Men, if you want to have a smooth shave without razor bumps but don't want to use girlie creams and foams, do what I do (as a girl): Use a small amount of any type of hair conditioner. Found out the secret from a stripper that was giving me a lapdance (long story) and I asked her how she stayed so smooth without waxing everyday. Have never looked back. You can also use the conditioner in the washing machine to soften a wool sweater. Strippers have wisdom we can only dream of.

...But not as rough as when I forget to close out the fucking italics. Goddammit!

LOL, awesome commentary Seth

oh hell, I left out Babe & Secret Garden.

Kid movies can be cool.

And let's be honest, boys and girls, and admit that the good ol' double standard is hard at work here (at least in the mind of the writer of that putrescent list). Chicks can dig Coyote Ugly and Fast and the Furious (oh shut it, you know it makes y'all hot and bothered when you see that shit in our movie collections), but a guy admits he likes Emma or The Holiday, and he's a pussy? Please. I begin to seriously doubt the mental capacity (or eyesight) of any guy who can watch Hugh Dancy and not concede to his fuck-ableness. And yes, it works both ways - were I playing for the other team (or maybe just a little drunk), Monica Bellucci would be my first choice for a celebrity sleepover.

The whole concept seems just a little passe' to me.
