A person’s DVD collection is essentially a window into their soul. With that in mind Team Cool & Tough has put together this definitive list of movies no dude should have in their DVD collection, lest they run the risk of looking like a douchebag, and maybe even a homosexual douchebag.

If any of the following are currently sitting in your DVD collection, we recommend you rush home and burn your house down:

  • The Notebook
  • My Best Friend’s Wedding
  • Legally Blonde
  • Anything Sex in the City.
  • You’ve Got Mail
  • Anything with Hugh Grant.
  • Pretty Woman
  • Any movie where animals talk.
  • P.S. I Love You
  • Sleepless in Seattle
  • Any movie starring an adult Drew Barrymore.
  • Anything where characters spontaneously break out into song.
  • Any “period piece” that doesn’t contain strong violence.
  • Anything with Matthew McConaughey and some actress’s name above the title.
  • Anything with Sandra Bullock not co-starring Keanu Reeves and not named Speed.
  • Meet Joe Black
  • Anything starring Patrick Swayze where he doesn’t violently kill someone.
  • How Stella Got Her Groove Back
  • Anything with Kate Hudson not named Almost Famous.
  • 27 Dresses
  • Any movie where there premise revolves around dancing.
  • Anything starring Hilary Duff.
  • The Bridges of Madison County
  • Anything starring Bette Midler not named Drowning Mona.

  • Fried Green Tomatoes
  • Anything with Whoopie Goldberg.
  • Grease
  • Anything starring Pauly Shore.
  • Love Actually
  • Father of the Bride
  • Anything where Dane Cook is supposed to be funny.
  • Any season of Friends.
  • Titanic
  • Anything with subtitles not named Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon.
  • White Chicks
  • Any sequel not starring the original cast.
  • Mean Girls
  • Your wedding video.
  • Any Star Wars prequel.
  • Devil Wears Prada
  • Any movie where a formerly awesome comedian dresses in a fat suit and/or drag.
  • Clueless
  • Any movie Jason Friedberg and Aaron Seltzer had anything to do with.
  • Waiting to Exhale
  • Any movie starring J. Lo not named Out of Sight or U-Turn.
  • Girl, Interrupted
  • Any Wayans Brothers movie.
  • Any movie with Madonna.
  • A League of Their Own
  • Anything Harry Potter related.
  • The English Patient
  • Any movie with homoerotic undertones that doesn’t lead to chicks making out.
  • Steel Magnolias
  • Any movie starring Cher.
  • Thelma & Louise

So what we’re pretty telling you is: when in doubt, go Stallone.

Update: After some consideration we’ve removed “Anything animated”. “Any movies where animals talk” sufficiently covers what we were going for.

    i happen to enjoy many animated movies, and crouching tiger hidden dragon was a classic manly movie with subtitles.

    other notes:
    - dont be a menace to society was a great wayans bros flick


    WLH7M says:

    I think Money Train should be added to the list of acceptable J-Lo movies. She gets naked in that one.


    NextRound says:

    Gibbs, it’s OK to like an animated film here or there, just not OWN one.

    Same goes for a couple of Wayans Bros. movies.


    Friday is a Good Day For College Volleyball Girls says:

    [...] The Ultimate List of DVDs Men Cant Own (TRUE) [...]


    Dave says:

    You might want to rethink about subtitles. As it stands, no dude would own a copy of Old Boy, Ichi The Killer or Battle Royale.


    SteveO says:

    I could be wrong, but I think a court rulling a few years ago dubbed the Wayans brothers legally retarded.


    SteveO says:

    …and I think Gibbs missed the “not named Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon” part of Anything with subtitles… But then again, he also likes “The Little Mermaid’.


    steve irony says:

    Aint nothing wrong with the little mermaid, I would f the shit out of Ariel, or at least the chick who played her when I took my kids to Disney World last year.


    steve irony says:

    the simpsons and the family guy are both cartoons so I guess there might be an exception there.


    Big Slim says:

    Trying to F the cartoon version of Ariel might present challenges… But the ’summer intern at Disney World from Floriday State playing’ Ariel is fair game. Can’t fault you for that one.


    steve irony says:

    it was suprisingly easy to throw game at her while she was takign a picture with my children. My wife didn’t understand why I kept telling the girl playing ariel my hotel room number.


    derrick says:

    A Clockwork Orange is definitely the exception to a movie where a character spontaneously breaks out in song. I think if it is set to a home invasion, singing is acceptable.


    Jesse says:

    As far as subtitles, what about “Snatch?” You can turn on subtitles for Brad Pitt’s character. Plus is has Jason Statham, and that guy wrecks shit.


    R Sole says:

    Wait, you subtitled yourself? I know “Pikie” is a little hard to understand, but I always prefer to watch my movie rather than read it. But I think the subtitle reference was directed more towards French indy flicks and thing like that…

    And Statham definitely wrecks shit…


    Joseph J. Finn says:

    “Anything animated.”

    So….

    No Grave of the Fireflies, Vampire Hunter D, Face[s] of Fear, Jason & The Argonauts, Clash of the Titans, Wallace & Gromit, Macross, Ghost in the Shell, South Park: Bigger Longer Uncut, Waking Life, Scanner Darkly or Millennium Actress?

    Get your head out of the kiddy animation ghetto.


    steve irony says:

    I agree a little with Finn, south park, simpsons, family guy are great animated series to watch and own. But Damn Finn, you need to ease up with the animated movies there.
    Whats the over under on how many Comic Books Finn has in “plastic bags” or “protective bags”? 42 or 45? I would guess 42


    Jesper says:

    No subtitles? Come on..what about Hardboiled? John Woo (when he made good movies), and constant kills.


    Travis says:

    In reference to J-lo, what about Money Train?


    Big Slim says:

    Wow Finn, you need to get out more. Sounds like your parents forgot to buy you a baseball glove when you were a kid…


    Kev says:

    You’ll be taking Donnie Darko from my cold head hands. Drew Barrymore’s excellent in it!


    NextRound says:

    Kev, in our opinion she doesn’t “star” in “Donnnie Darko”. More of a supporting role. Hopefully you don’t have the special edition of “Never Been Kissed” laying around your place.


    steve irony says:

    I too liked Donnie Darko but I got to admit that I am more than agrevated with people pretending that it was as good as Meatballs. Murray is a god.


    Faranya says:

    I take exception to the “spontaneously breaking into song”

    Rocky Horror Picture Show is not going anywhere anytime soon.

    TotallySerial says:

    So The Net with Sandra Bullock is a chick flick? Right..


    The Dude says:

    Not a chick flick, but a movie no one should own.


    ogie says:

    “Anything where characters spontaneously break out into song.” does Blues Brothers count?


    steve irony says:

    Of course Blues Brothers doesn’t count, and doesn’t Chevy Chase break out into song in one fo the national lampoons?
    The Net is great on USA on Sunday afternoon during baseball season, but I would probably nut shot you I was at a buddy’s house and he dropped a “let’s though THE NET in and have a beer”.


    Devil says:

    No subtitles?? Huh?? What about all those killer Akira Kurosawa movies with samurais chopping each other up? What about all the killer German WWII movies like Das Boot and The Downfall?? What about all those awesome Hong Kong hop-n-chop kung fu movies BESIDES Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon (there are literally hundreds that are subtitled rather than dubbed)?? What about Airplane (subtitled jive scenes)?? If you don’t like those movies, then you don’t have a Y chromosome, and that’s just all there is to it.

    And you forgot “Anything with Reese Witherspoon except that one with Paul Newman where she shows her hooters and that one with Kiefer Sutherland where she goes to prison and shanks that other chick with a toothbrush.”

    At least I think it was a toothbrush.

    [...] DVDs no dude should have.


    Jihad Jimmy, Minister of War Crimes and Chief Defender of the Faith says:

    Any movie where animals talk. (umm, what about Dude Where’s My Car?)
    Anything where characters spontaneously break out into song. (Anchorman?)
    Any movie where there premise revolves around dancing. (Showgirls, Striptease, Dancing at the Blue Iguana?)
    Anything with subtitles not named Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon. (La Femme Nikita?)


    UncleSAM says:

    City of God…great movie, all subtitles

    Road Trip…the dog, talking to the old man that’s high, “tell that b*%#%@ to get in the kitchen and make me some blueberry pancakes.”


    C says:

    When in doubt, go Stallone? How gay is that? Why, to look at his ‘roided up body? I’ll watch a chick flick if it gets me laid.


    kadaver says:

    Any movie starring an adult Drew Barrymore. What about donnie darko?


    anonymous says:

    way to go guys you are officially homophobic douchebags! if i saw those movies at a guys house i would say this man is really cool, sensitive, and comfortable with his sexuality that’s the man i want.

    dongbags says:

    Got to say that Don’t Be a Menace needs to be an exception to the rule-also Encino Man with Pauly Shore is a pretty sweet 90s flick, and who doesn’t love Bio-Dome?


    pinklunamoon says:

    thanks you gave me a list of films I should have then as i’m a woman…
    poor writer…you did not think of something: anyone who has a girlfriend/wife (and it looks you might not have one) living together is bound to have some of these. Them guys might even watch these with their companion girls. And, why not? Make love to them after. And what do you have against gay guys anyway? I personally think some of them are so hot, far from me having any negative feelings for them.


    pinklunamoon says:

    p.s. idiot, Sandra Bullock was also in a film with Stallone.LOOK IT UP

    horseballs says:

    not a bad list. I must disagree with one small exception. Hilary Duff is in one movie thats kinda bad ass. Its called war inc. Its a movie that flew under the radar but is worth a rent.


    BuckWild says:

    Ummm, there is one on this list that I break: but I will stake any dude’s rep (including mine) on it. This is a truly badass movie. It’s a foreign flick w/ subtitles, and it’s called “Run Lola, Run”. Check it out, and make it an exception to this list. Otherwise it’s pretty accurate.


    T Austin says:

    I’m with the other people re subtitles. There are some VERY safe-for-male-attention subtitled stuff: Old Boy, Downfall, Stalingrad, Run Lola Run, Come And See, Lives Of Others are just a few that pop up.

    Reconsider, dude…


    lordtoucan says:

    about the “no adult Drew Barrymore” line, Donnie Darko was a mind-f#$k that was very dark and twisted (ie. not a chic-flic)


    Sinnycal says:

    It’s been said a bunch of times already, but “anything with subtitles” has to go. I’m confident that I could put together a worthy man’s collection with NOTHING BUT subtitled movies.

    And Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon would be the least manly one of the bunch, if it even made the cut. Which it wouldn’t.


    Dan C says:

    Family Guy spontaneously breaks out into song quite often, and I think a good portion of men own some Family Guy DVD’s.

    Good idea for an article, and I agree with a lot of it, but there are definitely some holes…


    Dan C says:

    Another good subtitled flick is the Motorcycle Diaries.


    kev says:

    another good subtitled movie is Pan’s Labyrinth.
