The following is a list of 10 essential Man DVD's that a Father may not own but should. The list is in no particular order:
1. Die Hard - Bruno at his action best. The break out of Alan Rickman before Snape came along. Of course you couldn't go wrong with the Last Boyscout. Hudson Hawk is an underated Willis comedy.
2. Aliens - "Game over, man!" Chet is still not having any luck with other life forms. Great Sci-fi action movie. Predator is a close runner up in this category.
3. Striptease - Demi Moore and a stripper pole. 'nuff said.
4. Terminator - The Govenators break out movie. Time travel. Sarah Connor. "Come with me if you want to live."
5. T2 - Judgement Day - Sarah Connor gets buff and pissed off. Ah'nold is now a good guy. Liquid metal? Good thinking.
6. Platoon - Charlie Sheen's best bit of acting outside of Men at Work. Actually this one always reminds me of my Dad. One of my best friends and his Marine father, decided me and my Marine father needed to see it together.
7. Steel Magnolias NOT! Just seeing if you are paying attention - Spinal Tap. Everyone should have this one in their collection but not all do. Brilliant piece of writing. "There is such a fine line between stupid and....clever."
8. Batman Begins - Batman is tied here. The original with Jack as the Joker is a classic. Begins brings back all that thrill and revitalizes the series. Christian Bale is a great pick. The background with Liam Neeson is clutch.
9. Demolition Man - Classic Sly, Bad *ss Wesley Snipe, and hottie Sandra Bullock before she floated hope and became Ms. Congeniality. Dennis Leary has a great role.
10. Tomb Raider - Ahh......Angelina Jolie in spandex with guns. It's like Baywatch in the jungle.
Some of you may be wondering: Where is Caddyshack? Old School? Star Wars? Refer to the first sentence. You should own those already!
