Real Men Love: Enter The DragonYes, friends, it's been a while, but we're back, and with a classic that ALL of you Real Men Love, hands down. No, it's not porn (we're contractually obligated not to do any of that, despite your love for it), it's the Bruce Lee epic, Enter The Dragon.

Real Men Love "Tango & Cash"Once again we open the vault for a classic that all Real Men should know and Love. This time it's a trip back to the 80's for a rivalry-turned-buddy-cop movie loaded with explosions, one liners, and two of the biggest action stars of the 80's at the top of their game. It's the movie that made FUBAR a well-known word, and one of the reasons why Real Men Love Tango & Cash.

Real Men Love CommandoWe've touched on this one in the 80's Action Films article, but the truth is, this movie is badass enough to deserve it's own entry because Real Men Love movies with big guns, explosions, knife fights and cheesy one liners...and let's face it, Commando has all of the above. For that reason, Real Men Love Commando.

Real Men Love "Bloodsport"Bloodsport. Two of man's favorite words, Blood and Sport, slammed together in an orgy of kicking and punching goodness. If hearing the title doesn't get your blood going and inspire you to scream "KUMITE! KUMITE! KUMITE!" then you have no business calling yourself a man. Real Men Love Jean Claude Van Damme (circa 1980's, that is), and even more than that, Real Men Love Bloodsport.

Real Men Love The LimeyWhat do you get when you take a British ex-con and set him at the heels of a former 60s music producer/promoter over the controversial death of the Brit's daughter? You get the dense but fast-paced fish-out-of-water detective story that all Real Men Love. You get The Limey.

Real Men Love Remo WilliamsAh, Remo Williams: The Adventure Begins. How forgotten your mystique. How underrated your charms. You were meant to be the start of a series, and yet you ended before you could begin. For these reasons, Real Men Love you.

Real Men Love Lost HighwayDavid Lynch is one weird mofo. He consistently produces strange, artsy movies that, on the surface, would seem like man repellent. But then dude chocks his films full of tons of violence, nudity and hilarious, memorable lines; the resultant films are sort of like if Japanese TV producers attempted to remake the first Die Hard. Lost Highway is pretty standard Lynch fare with a few notable exceptions -- it's way more scary, violent and naked (in a good way) and contains way less plot than any of his other stuff. Which makes Lost Highway a film REAL MEN LOVE.

Real Men Love Repo ManIt's the ultimate experiment in surreal 1980's post-modernism. It's got no plot, no developed characters, and can't decide what genre of film it belongs to. It's the ultimate "style over substance" movie. It's Repo Man, and Real Men Love it.

Real Men Love Perfect DarkDo you remember Goldeneye007 for the NIntendo 64? Of course you do, unless you were either in a coma or too busy having mass orgies with your HAREM in the late 90's. While Goldeneye was the game that changed the face of first-person shooters, there was another little project that followed it that was just as, if not more, ass-kickingly awesome. The game in question is called Perfect Dark.

Real Men Love The Last Boy ScoutIf you have not seen, or do not love The Last Boy Scout, you do not deserve to have a penis. Seriously. It's 105 minutes of Bruce Willis and Shane Black being hilariously violent badasses, and I don't have to tell you how much Real Men Love that sort of stuff.

Real Men Love Rolling ThunderReal men REALLY love crap that's hard to find. I said that about last week's installment, Phoo Action, but that show hasn't got anything on Rolling Thunder. Not yet on DVD, Rolling Thunder has been called "the greatest revenge movie ever made" by the likes of Quentin Tarantino, and it certainly delivers in that respect. And you probably won't ever find it.

Real Men Love Phoo ActionReal Men Love obscure stuff. Stuff that they can share with others in an effort to show how cool and intelligent they are. Stuff so weird and quirky and foreign that it is guaranteed to get you laid if you bring it up in the right crowd. Phoo Action, a BBC show based on a weirdass comic strip, is exactly one of those obscure things Real Men Love.

Real Men Love Scud: The Disposable Assassin Real Men Love not just movies, or albums, or books, but comics as well. And if a man would have to choose but one comic to live with for the rest of his violence-loving, adrenaline-filled life, it would have to be Scud: The Disposable Assassin. It's the manliest comic ever written. Real Men Love it.

Real Men Love They LiveReal Men like a little superviolence with their scathing social commentary; for every political statement, there must be at least one alien shot in the chest with a shotgun. For every piece of cultural satire, two guys must beat the crap out of each other for at least thirty seconds. Since this is what Real Men desire, it should come as no surprise that Real Men Love They Live.

Real Men Love SpaceballsReal men can appreciate a good parody, and Spaceballs is one of the best. It’s a hilarious send up of Star Wars, with a healthy homage to other space themed movies of the ‘80s. It’s twisted, it’s hilarious, and Real Men Love it…

Real Men Love MementoContrary to popular belief, Real Men Love to think. With that being said, few movies will bend your mind like Memento. Memento is an enigma wrapped in a conundrum with a healthy slathering of, “What the hell?” thrown in for good measure.

Real Men Love "Death of a Ladies' Man"Leonard Cohen’s fifth album is unlike any of his other creative efforts, both in its back story and in its individual songs. His collaboration with unbalanced (to say the least) record producer Phil Spector resulted in eight unusual tracks that left die-hard Cohen fans upset and unsure about where his career was headed. Even now, thirty years after its release, “Death of a Ladies’ Man” is unjustly known as a an incredible failure, but its underappreciated artistic merits -- when combined with the story of its creation -- makes for an album that can be listened to and genuinely enjoyed.
