Black Swan
They call it a sexy for a reason. This isn't just another ballet movie. This intense psychological thriller has everything a man could want. A captivating plot line, beautiful characters, and a dark scary element. Oh yeah.... and Mila Kunis and Natalie Portman have a lesbian sex scene. He will be raving for days, and telling all his buddies they HAVE to see it.
No Strings Attached
Other than the obvious, Natalie Portman half naked again, this movie was enjoyable for both men and women. Men have always been drawn to the idea of casual emotionless sex, and this movie gives it to them. So many great quoteable lines, which you know your man will incorporate into his everyday life. "you can't fight me, you fight like a hamster" will come out of his mouth at some point in the week after you watch it. In the end, women get what they all want, a commitment.
Friends with Benefits
The sexier version of No Strings Attached. Lord knows in the looks department that Mila Kunis and JT beat out Ashton and Natalie any day. Plus, FwB's gay best friend is 10 times better, Woody Harrelson gets 2 thumbs up for his HILARIOUS role in this movie. Your man gets to see a lot more nakedness, the characters are a little more blunt and witty, and JT will have Kris Kross stuck in your head for days. In return, you get 1.5 hours of Justin Timberlake amazingness.
Valentine's Day
Writer for Louisville Magazine Josh Moss says it best when trying to describe the plot for this movie:
Julia Roberts' niece is dating a guy who plays guitar in the nude, who is friends with the wolf from "Twilight," who dates Taylor Swift, who stands in an elevator with a giant teddy bear and Jennifer Garner, who has a thing for one of the "Grey's Anatomy" doctors, who buys flowers from Ashton Kutcher, who proposes to Jessica Alba and is best friends with George Lopez, who gets in a fender-bender with another "Grey's Anatomy" doctor, who's the Brett Favre-like client of publicist Jessica Biel, who might have a thing for Kathy Bates' employee Jamie Foxx, who is a TV reporter who wants to interview the Favre-like client of Biel and sport's agent Queen Latifah, who bosses around employee/"phone-sex performer" Anne Hathaway, who dates Hoosier Topher Grace, who meets Shirley MacLaine's husband.
Whew.
Also, Julia Roberts sits on an airplane next to the guy with great hair from "The Hangover."
Men like this movie for the comedy, and the ADHD plot line. Trust me.
New Year's Eve
Critics may have ripped this movie apart, but if you got your man to watch Valentine's Day, then he will watch this one too. Half of the V Day cast returns, along with some new eye candy, in the same ADHD plot line with a different holiday. Sadly, it's witty, enthralling, and you and your man might both shed a few tears. Michelle Pfeiffer is absolutely unrecognizable in this movie. Amazing actress.
Oh... and Zac Efron. He's hot.
Ghosts of Girlfriends Past
Matthew McConaughey is every mans dream in this movie. He plays this middle aged playboy who seemingly sleeps with every hot woman in the entire city. Every man wants to grow up to be his character. He also has the same relationship beliefs that any single man has, and some of those in a relationship STILL have. If your relationship is on rocky grounds, don't watch this movie. You will want to do more than slap your man when he is cheering on McConaughey's philandering. Luckily for Joe.... he just got slapped. Eventually he falls into the role of every man in a romantic comedy, sees the light, and settles down with the woman of his dreams. The men will love it and so will you, even if he's sleeping on the couch afterwards.
The Ugly Truth
This movie is full of everything a man wants you to know about dating. He will agree with Gerard Butler, while you agree with Katherine Heigl. It is the typical plot of feminist woman against chauvinistic man. Men will love Butler's one liners, typical male psychology, and beautiful women. Most men (with the exception of mine) find Heigl sexy and will love her quirky attitude. That said, it really is a guys version of a romantic comedy. It shows the difference between what men and women want in a mate. Men want the librarian stripper who dresses sexy, laughs at all his jokes, and never criticizes him; while women want a sensitive, mature, successful partner. In the end the message is that women should play to the male fantasy and leave men to be themselves, which your man will wholeheartedly agree with. Just like Ghosts of Girlfriends past.... be ready to slap him while he is having such a great time loving the movie!
The Proposal
While this has typical romantic comedy written all over it, your man will sit through it for a few reasons. His man crush on Ryan Reynolds, Betty White is flipping hilarious, all men wish they had a sexy dominating female boss to sleep with, and all men find Sandra Bullock sexy.... no matter how old she is. So while you enjoy the romance in this movie, your man will be laughing and enjoying the scenery. He won't mind one little bit.
How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days
The epitome of Battle of the Sexes comedy. Few people are funnier than Kate Hudson and Matthew McConaughey, so when you put them together you are bound to get laughs. Men will sympathize with McConaughey because Kate Hudson does all the things that we do to drive them crazy. It has both laugh out loud and stunned silence humor. Be prepared for your man to look at you with that "OMG you totally do that" look at least once in this movie. Hudson's over the top crazy will keep him laughing through the whole movie, and her looks will keep his eyes glued to the screen.
Definitely, Maybe
This movie is How I Met Your Mother, just in a condensed 2 hour version. What man doesn't like HIMYM? Guys will be so enthralled with figuring out who the mother is in this movie that time will fly by. Be prepared for him to figure out the mom at least 3 times in this movie. This means you will have to rewind it at least 3 times to not miss key plot points while he explains why he is so obviously right this time. His thought process will be entertaining however, so make sure you just pause the movie and chuckle while he gets so into a 'chick flick'. While his brain is working 100mph, you can enjoy Ryan Reynolds with only a few interruptions. Afterwords you can get in another laugh while your man discusses why the mom should have been so and so instead.
So rent one of these movies, cuddle up under a blanket, and soon your man will be letting you pick the movies just so he can watch some love stories and blame it on "my girlfriend made me watch it".
You're Welcome.
