PFG choice. I remember thinking if I just broke my arm in the correct way I could be cool too.

These are all rated R but I watched them when I was younger:

The Road Warrior, Total Recall, They Live, Southern Comfort, Scorsese's Golden Era movies, Bottle Rocket, Blade Runner, The Good the Bad and the Ugly

Good call brotherman. He loved Total Recall. We watched Thunderdome as a feeler to see if he could handle the other Mad Maxs but he cried when one of the kids died so I shut it off. However that was 3 years ago he’s probably ready now.

Beetlejuice, Stand by Me, Roadhouse

 

[HH Brother]

Sleepers

I'm just joshing ya, brother.

The Death Wish movies watch pretty good. Charles Bronson is unapologetically masculine.

No Jewish pornography pls Funsters.

I make a real effort to expose my son to all the cultural touchstones. I want his pop culture background to be varied and expansive.

What are some of them movies you saw as an adolescent that stuck with you or shaped your youth?

I saw The Thing with my dad when I was 10 and it influenced the entire rest of my life, for an example

go very wholesome..... sandlot

The Running Man
Demolition Man

 

[Monica Bellucci]

The Matrix

Robocop
Apocalypto

And an underrated one I just remembered that I liked back then was "Darkman" with Liam Neeson. Really cool premise and not one of these cookie-cutter faggoty superhero movies.

Rocketeer, lethal weapon series, Top Gun, Days of Thunder.
