Chill Out Movies - for Blokes!

April 20th 2009 01:57


There are times when every man must learn to kick back and relax.

Fortunately, Hollywood is more than willing to help out.

America’s movie-making juggernaut specialses in churning out quality films that require little thinking and even less emotional investment.

From The Big Lebowski to Caddyshack to Beverly Hills Cop it's a chance to tune in, turn on and veg out.


So whether you're into

Ferris Bueller's Day Off



Fast Times at Ridgemont High



. . or even Lethal Weapon




would love to hear about your Blokey Chill Flicks!

Lord of The Rings - whenever I am sick and have to take a day off work I start with the first one and watch a marathon and all in directors cuts only - a nice 11 and a bit hours of chillfactor salty style
It used to be the original Star Wars when I had my laser disc player but sold them all with the player and now need to buy a bew box set. I also find myself constantly enjoying The Perfect Storm when it's rainy and miserable and I can't decide on what to watch.
Great idea for a post.

Fast Times is a great flick, esp with the classic dream sequence of Phoebe Cates getting out of the pool

along the same lines Mallrats, Dazed & Confused, Empire Records, and High Fidelity are all great movies that have some boy appeal

Why is it I can sense there's a feeling of 'unwellness' starting to stir inside . . .

How good is the Magnificent 7 - really - it is just THE best damned movie of its kind that a bloke can sit down to.

And as for the Dirty Dozen . . .

Think you nailed a few of these old son.

Nice work

I usually find the blokey chill out films far more easy to watch than cheesy chick flicks which I despise. By the way, I started calling male driven movies such as High Fidelity etc dick flicks I love them...the movies that is!

Shoot 'Em Up - Just mindless fun.

Any of the Die Hard movies (especially the first though).

Any of the Bond movies (Sean Connery's Bond is obviously preferable)
