| When..... ...was the last guy, bloke, MAN movie of any quality made, the one which doesn't have any lovey-dovey every 5 seconds? I've got the feeling that those in Hollywood or F*nnywood are unable to turn out any good flicks for us lads with hair on our b*lls, one that doesn't give you the usual B-Movie feeling.... There's a channel on Sky, called Movies 4 Men, but most of them, in my honest opinion, are nothing but B-stuff....annoying!

| Saving Private Ryan comes to mind. Not too much "Lovey-Dovey" action in that one. Don't go to many movies anymore as they just seem to be making the same old tired stuff with different titles and actors in them.

| Looks like Jessica Biel will be cast in the A-Team movie so there will not doubt be some sort of "lovin" going on. I guess I won't complain about that though

| When they did the new version of Pearl Harbor, they knew it wouldn't sell without an "R" rating. So in the beginning of the movie they have this couple making out on the floor of the hanger. All this, just for a rating !! Guess that's why I like the History Channel..... Charles

| Someone would have to bring up the Pearl Harbor "Movie". That was fiction wasn't it?

| What about a really good airplane movie!!!! We need a great movie just about airplanes and their pilots, similar in style and tone to the Band of Brother's series. A movie about warplanes, and not stupid romances were the airplanes are just props.... Man that would be great |

| Well shoot, for an airplane, I can't think of one that doesn't have any of the romance crap Hollywood churns out. Be interesting if they did a mini series about the Allied squadrons in Singapore, or of the Japanese side of it.

"Letters From Iwo" wasn't too bad. And the raw testosterone of "We Were Soldiers" more than makes up for the mistake of casting Madeline Stowe. Hmmm...other than that, they seem to be trying to get women to come to ALL movies.
