Real Men Love The Limey

What 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 Williams

Ah, 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 Highway

David 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 Man

It'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 Dark

Do 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 Scout

If 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 Thunder

Real 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 Action

Real 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 Live

Real 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 Spaceballs

Real 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 Memento

Contrary 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 Fight Club

The first rule is... I’m not supposed to talk about it. And if you don’t know the second rule, then you need to see this movie and discover why Real Men Love FIGHT CLUB.

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.

Real Men Love Simian Mobile Disco's "Attack Decay Sustain Release"

Simian Mobile Disco’s debut album “Attack Decay Sustain Release” mixes fierce hooks with relentlessly danceable beats, creating a dozen tracks that real men don’t need to be ashamed of dancing to.  Rising from the ashes of the disbanded rock group Simian, James Ford and James Shaw make analog electronic music that won’t make you want to start ordering appletinis.

Real Men Love ALIENS

One of the only examples in which the second movie is the best in a series, “Aliens” is a badass classic in every way, and one that all Real Men should Love.

Real Men Love The Wild Bunch

The Wild Bunch may be the single manliest movie ever made. It's violent, intelligent, brutal, subtle, and completely male-centric in every aspect of its storytelling. Everybody should love it -- real men doubly so.

Real Men Love The Hives' "The Black and White Album"

One of the few holdovers of the "The" bands (along with The White Stripes and The Strokes), the Swedish band The Hives have a new album out that's begging to be added to your "Broin' Out" iTunes playlist. The new album, "The Black and White Album," is something all Real Men should Love.

Real Men Love the Big Sleep

Real Men long for a time of fast-talking men, shifty-but-gorgeous women, and plentiful murders -- so of course, real men love the classic Bogie/Bacall film noir, The Big Sleep.

Real Men Love Miller's Crossing

With No Country for Old Men coming out later this month, we thought it might be prudent to look back at what might not only be the Coen Brothers' single best film, but also one of the best gangster flicks ever made: Miller's Crossing. It's damned good. Real men love it.
