New Feature - Manliest Movies of all Time

If you ever picked up a stick as a child and swung it around like a sword, you tried to execute the "behind the back move" Conan does. It is an immutable law. Why? Because this movie is as close to the heart of any man (or man-child) as any movie can get.

I am not going to rehash the plot (and, contrary to what detractors may claim, there IS one, and it is GOOD), because you should know it. I would only ask that you juxtapose Nietzsche's bit about the camel and the lion to the plot and see what you come up with.

Anyway, this movie not only has the most bad-ass, ball thumping music ever written by mankind, but our protagonist is so manly that someone else actually cries for him.

If you are like me, you have seen it about four-hundred times. Watch it again, you know you want to. Your testosterone levels will thank you for it.

Manly quote:
Mongol General: "Conan, what is best in life?"
Conan: "To crush your enemies, see them driven before you, and to hear the lamentation of their women!"
