Man Card Rules





In life, certain things define a man.  


Strength in adversity. 

Calm in the face of danger.

A hard worker.  

A father/father figure.

A leader when needed.

A follower when needed.

Getting things done that need to get done, no questions asked.




Now putting all that aside, Men like to have fun in the down time and still act like Men but maybe not as manly as they have to be at times....so for those down times here are the rules.

1 – Thou shalt not voluntarily watch “chick flicks” while alone (or at least admit to it)
2 – Thou shalt never become a Vegetarian or Vegan…. meat was meant to be eaten!
3 – Thou shalt not til another man's garden (figuratively speaking)
4 – Yes, No, and a simple Grunt are all complete answers
5 – Thou shalt honor thy Bro’s before thy Ho’s
6 – Thou shalt not cry unless it is deemed appropriate
7 – Because it was funny shall be accepted as a valid excuse/reason

8 – Thou shalt NEVER wear pink unless you can back it up with fighting prowess
9 – Honor the sabbath (Sunday) as a holy, sports or a man day. (this one is real…mostly)
10 – Thou shall always strive to be more manly
11- Thou shaltl know how to change a flat tire on your vehicle.
12- You can only drink the last beer at a friend’s house, if it is given to you.
13- Thou shalt not show up to a BBQ empty handed is a Cardinal Sin
14- Thou shalt never strike a woman. Unless she is holding a weapon in an attempt to kill you, then all bets are off
15- If you sire offspring;
a: boys should begin training in the arts of the man by age 5 or younger.
b: girls shall remain Daddy’s little princess until death of said Daddy.




To that end,  we your hosts, Tony Mo, T-Rev and Q have put together a list of the 100 essential movies that a MAN needs to see in order to keep his Man status.  Over time we will dissect these cinematic achievements and help you understand, if you don't understand why it is on the list.  We will tell you the things to take away from the movie and the things that are best left behind as well.

 We invite you to join us and to help us make the list better.  If you have a movie that you believe deserves to be here and it is not please let us know.  You will need to have a movie in mind that you also believe does not meet the Man Card Movie list as well.  

We will consider all submissions but it will have to be a very compelling argument change our minds.

We have decided that this list is almost exclusively from 1980 on to present so please we ask that you keep the movies from the set time period.  We understand that so many great MAN movies were created before then but we can't include them all.

Regards,

Tony Mo.
