a) Die Hard b) Lethal Weapon if you're on twitter: |

I can’t rem if it’s LW or LW 2 that I prefer so for that reason I’m going to say Die Hard. Home Alone beats Die Hard. Is this poll for manly men mostly? |

No, females love great action classics also |

I knew that was coming, and I never meant that FFS, I can’t stand this... it’s everywhere. Stop it, I am not a sexist, nor a fucking moron who thinks girls only like romantic comedies and fluffy toys. It’s why I said “mostly”, because trust me, the choice here is basically action with a little comedy, it’s not fucking wrong, or sexist, un-PC to point that out. |

Sorry, that was a bit of an outburst. I just get frustrated sometimes, especially with someone quite close to me, so I snapped. Sorry piano man, I’m sure you meant well. |

Well... you brought up gender, not me o_O |

Yes, it’s quite obvious to me why, or am I a bigot? Not saying that in twenty years there will be no gap, or hardly, but men and women are quite different, wouldn’t you agree? Why is that such a problem to admit today? People are mixing everything up. I don’t want to go into cliches, obviously pink and blue, that was programmed into parents, then into the children, and many girls like to play outside doing what I’m scared to now call “boys stuff”. My sister climbed trees with me and I would sometimes play my little poney with her. But she was clearly a girl (I don’t mean just physical) and I was a boy. Do you really think that with Die Hard Andy leathal weapon it’s a 50/50 male/female audience? It’s a nice thought. I very much doubt it, but then gender is a really touchy subject right now, and sometimes people act preachy when it fact they haven’t given it a moment’s thought, too scared to not fit the current trend. Stating what is currently the obvious shouldn’t be seen as sexism. Difference is good. Soon even personality will be treated, and society will be devoid of anything worthwhile because we will all be the same. |

its not at all weird to think action=boys, let me throw a few things in and we can think for ourselves, whether they are a society programmed preferred thing or not or why we think like this. (this may be a really awkward and uncoherent post think of it as a brainstorm) action figures and action cartoons japanese manga/anime gender specific titled genres tv advertisements, marketing and target groups i dont know where it came from but i have a pretty clear image of action themed shows, movies and merchandise that was produced for a specific gender audience and in my memory that genre seperation was super strong in my generation, growing up in the 90s and 80s. so naturally for us its not unusual to think of a show or a movie and say boystuff girlstuff. |

When i was 10 I used to pretend I was robocop with a shot gun and my bed was the top of a speeding train and I was blowing away bad guys, I don't know how intrinsic that is to being heterosexual but it seem sort of action and motion was instinctually inbuilt into me, definitely some sort of hidden connection |

Robocop was 18 certificate |

I know, I was watching stuff like that really young, I must have been about 11 when I watched terminator 2 |

even though it was an 18 I'm sure there were Robocop toys you could buy in argos as well |

Christmas Vacation, Home Alone and Bad Santa are the best three. Die Hard, although set at christmas isn't themed properly to be a TRUE christmas film, no matter how much one enjoys watching German's terrorists get murdered. |
