The best male films of the domestic and foreign film industry

It is clear that every film has its own audience, including a gender-disaggregated audience. Women gravitate to melodramas and romantic films, men - to a boring cinema, exciting the brain. The article presents men's films, the list of which is opened by the domestic film industry.

Classics of Soviet cinema

After the film "Officers" (1971), thousands of guys decided to combine their lives with the Soviet army. Directed by Vladimir Rogov, the reality of the tragedy and the romantic beginning was demonstrated through the fates of two friends: Alexei Trofimov and Ivan Varrava, brilliantly played by Georgy Yumatov and Vasily Lanov. The officers went through the crucible of fighting the Basmachi, fulfilling the international duty in Spain, military events on the Chinese border and the severe tests of the Great Patriotic War. Coming to the screens, the picture immediately became the leader of the rental. Only in 1971 it was watched by 53.4 million viewers. Special heroism was attached to the picture by real veterans of the war. George Yumatov did not have to impose make-up to show scars on his back. These were traces of his real wounds. A whole generation of genuine patriots has grown up in the picture.

Polls show that a strong half of Russians love Russian films. Men's paintings for them - this is the first militants, who became a classic of Soviet cinema. The "White Sun of the Desert" of 1970 is a vivid example of such a film. The director V. Motyl was very risky, taking an unconventional film about the adventures of the Red Army soldier, who defended the bandit Abdullah's harem. But, despite the fact that he was accepted by the official commission ambiguously, his further rolling history turned out to be happy. Not only thanks to the protagonist Anatoly Kuznetsov, but also to the image of the customs officer Vereshchagin, the last role of the seriously ill Paul Luspekaev. He brought into it such a real force of a man's character that the director during the filming of a minor made the role of Vereshchagin one of the main.

"Pirates of the XX century"

An outstanding domestic action movie, released on the screens in 1980 - a film by B. Durov "Pirates of the XX century." Gathered huge queues in theaters, he still remains unsurpassed in the attendance of the film in the domestic film distribution. Over 10 years it was watched by 120 million spectators. There is everything that really pleases a strong sex: a brutal hero fighting alone for the salvation of the ship's crew (Nikolai Eremenko), a fascinating plot, real fights with the participation of professional karate Talgat Nigmatullin (Malysh). Favorite male movies are interesting using weapons, real technology, full-screen format with a high-quality color image. In this picture there was everything to make it really attractive for a male audience.

Dashing 90-s: "Brother", "Boomer"

Did Alexei Balabanov think, having shot a film for 31 days, that he would become a cult in the national cinema? "Brother" with Sergei Bodrov in the title role - this is the story of the brothers Crimson in the troubled time of the early 90's. Returning from the Chechen war, Danila Bagrov gets involved in gang warfare thanks to his older brother, who in the dashing years became a famous hitman named Tatarin. He does not spare Danil, substituting him for his own skin, but this does not prevent his younger brother from harboring evil against him. At a time when people needed hope and a new hero, it was in Danil Bagrov that they saw a glimpse of the new time and the appearance in his person of opposition to evil. The film was accompanied by wonderful rock music, which made it even more attractive to the audience.

Men's films about friendship are some of the most popular in the 90's, even if friends chose not the most right way in life. "Boomer" (2000) became the debut picture of the 26-year-old Peter Buslov, who managed to show clearly that dashing years are a tragic time that took many lives. The reaction to the film is ambiguous, but the fact that he was the first to pay back his expenses in the post-crisis time is a fact to be reckoned with. The audience voted for him by visiting the cinemas.

"Crew" (1979, 2016)

The film-catastrophe, which combines two genres: everyday drama and adventure, was filmed by Alexandra Mitta in 1979. It was an incredibly spectacular picture, where all the crew members, ordinary people with their shortcomings, united before the danger on board the plane. And despite the fact that the plot is somewhat fabulous, because performing repairs outside the aircraft during the flight is impossible, the audience really worried about the final picture. The plane seemed a real actor, and ordinary people - heroes. More than 71 million people rushed to the cinemas, voting for the success of the film, in which Georgy Zhzhenov, Leonid Filatov, Anatoly Vasilyev, and Alexandra Yakovleva starred .

Taking into account the development of the technical capabilities of modern cinema, Nikolai Lebedev shot a new picture that saw the light in 2016. Both "Crews" are real men's films that every young man in the country should see. The grandiose canvas in the IMAX format allows to make the spectacle of the catastrophe happening aboard, while not eclipsing the magnificent play of actors of the new generation - Danila Kozlovsky, Vladimir Mashkov, Agne Grudite. The filming of this film took place with the full support of the first director, who considers the need to breathe new life into the winning story with the right move.

Military subjects

What does the strong half of the foreign film industry offer? Real men's films are films about war. The 1986 drama "Platoon", shot by the American director Oliver Stone, tells of the most unpopular among them - the war in Vietnam. The autobiographical script of the director lay on the shelf for 10 years, in order to gain fame after many years. The work will be awarded four Oscars. What is the picture about? On relations within the platoon in the face of the harsh realities of the Vietnamese jungle and the fact that war generates internal "monsters" living according to animal laws. The brilliant work of Charlie Sheen and the novice John Depp.

Foreign thrillers

Watching male movies means choosing the right genres of the movie. This is primarily thrillers. The best thriller - "Fight Club", filmed in the US (1999). Director David Fincher is able to create a truly dynamic film with a criminal overtones and rather violent scenes that cause a real adrenaline rush. But this is not an ordinary picture, of which there are many, is a new male ideology, the path to freedom that a person acquires, only having lost everything to the end. The source is the book of Chuck Palahniuk, permeated with the philosophy of self-destruction. In the film there is a fascinating intrigue. Only at the very end of the plot is built into a single logical chain of life of a regular clerk named Cornelius. The actor's duet of Edward Norton and Brad Pitt is the real creative success of the picture. And Pitt gets the role of "bad boy", with which he copes brilliantly.

Fans of thrillers will also like Guy Ritchie's 1998 film "Maps, Money, Two Barrels" (Great Britain). Because he is about friendship and the collective mind of four adventurers from London who are in a difficult situation, but are luckier than local bandits. The criminal authority Harry-Axor, who put friends on the counter, commits the most cruel error in his life. It is curious that Sting's wife invested in the project, and the singer himself played a small role in the film. Lenny McLean, a cancer patient, in the past a professional boxer, did not live a month before the premiere. This film became his dedication.

Foreign militants and westerns

The best male films are adventure fighters, among which stands the Oscar-winning "Gladiator" (USA), shot in 2000 by Ridley Scott. A strong half of mankind is impressed by the figure of the Roman commander in the performance of Russell Crowe, who was captured as a result of insidious intrigues. The man, for whom the soldiers, without hesitation, rose to death, becomes a Roman gladiator. The film is replete with scenes of battles, not only between people, but also with animals. In the picture there is no usual happy ending, but Maximus, who defied the Commodus parricide, clearly demonstrates: in death you can remain a real man.

Among the classic fighters enjoying great success, the series "Rocky" (1976), "Rambo" (1982), the sports drama "Warrior" (2011), the unfading "Die Hard" (1988), the film about gangsters "Mad Dogs" (1992) ), "The Godfather" (1972), but it can not be denied that cowboy westerns are the most masculine films, adored by a strong gender. No one has yet managed to bypass Sergio Leone, who shot Clint Eastwood in the western of all time "Good, Bad, Evil" 1966. Combining the efforts of bandits in pursuit of gold is not the most successful idea, because none of them can not be trusted. The film from the first to the last frame keeps the spectator watching, following the adventures of three companions in the Wild West, hunting for stolen gold.

"Brokeback Mountain"

Ratings and lists of the best films for the male half of humanity vary greatly, but any list will be incomplete if it does not have a picture of real feelings. Films about male love include a huge number of pictures about same-sex communication, but to take a high bar of "Brokeback Mountain" (2005) failed to any of them. In addition to the "Oscar", the picture has so many awards that their list will take up a whole page.

Engu Lee managed to touch the hearts of viewers, film critics and actors themselves, admiring the work of their colleagues. The picture was the success of Heath Ledger and Jake Gyllenhaal, however, the career of the first was interrupted due to death in 2008. He became one of the few who were awarded the Oscar posthumously. The picture describes the events of the 60s, which makes the situation of the main characters rather tragic.

The list of works presented in the article indicates that any man can choose a picture for himself.
