Movies Your Boys Will Love You for Liking

I love a terrible chick flick as much as the next girl, but sometimes you need a night with the boys to have a quality cinematic experience. Below, I’ve listed some movies my guys have endorsed or introduced me to, and hope you love them as much as we do:

By K

Swingers. “You’re so money, baby, and you don’t even know it!” And it’s so, so true. Guys are just as bad as girls when encouraging their friends to hook up, and you can appreciate the other side of the story, as well as a young Vince Vaughn and Ron Livingston (from Office Space!).

Rounders. Mmmm Matt Damon and Edward Norton. My guy roommates used to play online poker for a ‘living,’ like so many other young men these days, and nothing seemed more awesome than a movie about poker. Also, part of me believes that all men share our love for Matt and Ed.

High Fidelity. Another movie about a guy’s girlfriend breaking up with him, and John Cusack’s adorableness is just another perk. This is one of my absolute favorites and I hope to marry a Rob Gordon-esque character someday.

Grandma’s Boy. I am ashamed to own this/cannot help but think of how I watched this at least a hundred times senior year with my boy roommates. One roommate always fell into hysterics during the Dance Dance Revolution scene, and I can’t watch it without laughing myself to tears thinking about it.

Fight Club. For one, it’s just an amazing movie. For two, anything incorporating a significant amount of violence and destruction is considered fantastic by a group of males.

Tarantino flicks that make for fantastic quotes later in life, as well as providing you with an off-the-wall experience:

Pulp Fiction. Even if that moron who plays Bruce Willis’ girlfriend makes you want to gouge your own eyes out, the rest of the movie is just too fantastic, and Samuel L. Jackson is a favorite.

Reservoir Dogs. I cannot listen to the Steve Miller Band’s Stuck In the Middle with You anymore without getting the chills, but it’s another really cool movie.

Trilogies that you should at least have heard of:

The Godfather. I sadly have only seen the first one, but if you own the trilogy, your street cred goes up by about a thousand percent.

Indiana Jones. Because every boy still wants to grow up and be an adventurer…. and Indy always gets the girl.
