The Meryl Streep Rule
1) "The Meryl Streep Rule" states that any movie in which Meryl Streep is a cast member is not a guy/ manly movie. This rule is not of my creation. I remember reading this in an article 20 years ago. I cannot remember the article’s title or its author.
@EsotericCD There are many of us out here, I see them all the time! They are quite easy to find. @SilverAgeTV and @hourlyFox come to mind. Those are just a few of many.
@Crystal_Philoso@Mizizlpix@WeaponizedRage Pound for pound, the Japanese Yakuza films are better than the American gangster films. Certainly Godfather (1972), King of New York (1990), and Donnie Brasco (1997) are top tier but you can find many more GREAT films in the Yakuza genre than in the American gangster genre.
@Cyril22222@NolteNC Keep my up to date of your thoughts on that film. I am not familiar with it. I just watched the trailer for it on YouTube. It's strange because it uses mostly stills. I'm interested in this though.

#TodaysMovieSpotlight - Our Man Flint (1966): The best spy spoof stars James Coburn as Derek Flint--a part-time secret agent with a high IQ, black belt fighting skills, and a natural irresponsibility to women! His film debut is perfect; the sequel is OK. https://t.co/ALthORzpiy

@UncleHotep That film endures because it's a great story line coupled with great action sequences. You're always guessing about the identity of the venoms with the exception of the Toad, the Centipede, and the last student.
I'd like to see that film remade as a western.
@UncleHotep Let me also add "The Five Deadly Venoms" (1978). The best character is The Toad. There is a nobility about him. He is unabashedly against injustice, and demonstrates a cocky and unrestrained indignation towards it.
@MegaPewPew@UncleHotep It reminds me a bit of the film noir movies in which a private detective descends into a twisted and perverse world. And often, some type of good order is restored by the film's end.
@smpevarnik303 @UncleHotep Hooper (1978) is GREAT! That was the first of the films I saw in the Masculine Cinema genre. I saw it when I was 10 years old. That film possessed a deeply masculine element that appealed to me.
