any guide that wallops TOP GUN is all-right by me!

Here goes, fellas! Scott Meyer's guide to he-man movies caught my attention from its very first entry! In the section called "Da Classics", the movie "Bad Day at Black Rock" was listed--it's my favorite Spencer Tracy movie; when Tracy stops short of turning the other cheek in front of bully Ernest Borgnine, and judo- chops him into unconsciousness, you would be hard-pressed not to enjoy the movie ... This guide rates movies by a testosterone-type scale: Violence, profanity, babes, cool cars, and hero worship. Whether you guys prefer westerns, chop-socky films, ballsy comedies, horror flix, or damb near anything else, this is the book to buy for non-fans of "chick flicks". No Steel Magnolia flicks here, pal!
