Metrosexual

I've never been the biggest fan of macho blockbusters like Die Hard, Rambo or Terminator. Anything starring either Jean Claude Van Damme or Steven Seagal, with their over choreographed martial arts moves gets me flicking the channel faster than the theme tune to the antiques roadshow. However on the flip side I would rather stick pins in my eyes than watch anything along the lines of Beaches, How to make an American quilt or any other such movie that girls seem to love watching while wearing pyjamas and eating chocolate under a duvet.

There are however some films out there that are perfect for any Metro to turn down the lights, put the salted popcorn in the microwave, insert the blu ray dvd on the LCD TV and crank up the surround sound to.....Here’s my top 10 Metro Movies:

10: Crash – Powerful film which looks at the complexities of human conflict in America. Brilliantly interwinding story!






9: What Women Want – Mel Gibsons brilliant transformation from machosexual to full on understanding Metro through a bang on the head, very funny!






8: Father of the Bride – Great movie that touches the very nervy subject of a dad losing his daughter to marriage....something I’m sure is frightening to even the most understanding of modern dads!





7: Love Actually – Great movie telling all about ‘lurve’ from everyones point of view






6: The Wedding Singer – Funny movie with Adam Sandler, 5 words that shouldn’t be said in that order usually...this film is the only exception.









5: Meet Joe Black: Yes it’s a melodrama but Pitt is amazing and it honestly is worth a watch...completely unique.










4: Lost in Translation: Sophia Coppola’s debut film is visually stunning and emotionally vibrant. Bill Murray is brilliant playing a lost soul and Scarlett Johansson is drop dead gorgeous!












3: 10 Things I Hate About You: At first glance a throwaway teen movie...a closer look see’s the early work of Heath Ledger, Julia Stiles and it’s based on the Shakespeare play ‘The Taming of the Shrew’ Very good movie!








2: Big Fish: An imaginative movie by the legend that is Tim Burton. A son is piecing together his dying fathers life through extraordinarily creative memories, very emotional, tissues at the ready!







1: Field of Dreams: Well the daddy of the metrosexual movie has to be this one. Based on the book ‘Shoeless Joe Jackson’ by W.P. Kinsella it tells the story of a relationship that a son (Costner) never had with his dad a retired aseball player...I won’t go into anymore detail apart from say if you can hold back tears in the final seen you must have had an emotion bypass!!



Happy watching!

Peace out and big love
