Adult entertainment aside ) , here's my two cents, based on a few favourites from my own bachelor-era living room:
- Jaws ("We're gonna need a bigger boat.")
- Patton ("Now I want you to remember that no bastard ever won a war by dying for his country. He won it by making the other poor dumb bastard die for his country.")
- Aliens ("Another bug hunt.")
- Predator ("I'm too busy to bleed." - PLUS: AWESOME Alan Silvestri score!!!!)
- First Blood ("I don't think you understand. I didn't come to rescue Rambo from you. I came here to rescue you from him.")
- The Searchers ("I don't believe in surrenders. Nope, I've still got my saber, Reverend. Didn't beat it into no plowshare, neither.")
- The Star Wars classic trilogy (minus the dumb alterations).
- The Deer Hunter ("You wanna play games? All right, I'll play your **** games.")
- The Wild Bunch ("If they move, kill 'em!")
Other oddly satisfying: the first RoboCop, the two Arnie Conan movies, The Italian Job (the original one, with Sir Michael), The Last Boy Scout, Hudson Hawk (best use of a song in a movie ever)... I think you get the general idea without me rambling for too long (a bit late for that, no? - sorry, gents).
Of the ones already mentioned by fellow I'd say Zulu and the Die Hard movies (1, 2 and 4) are fantastic too.
PS: TP, I think we wanna see a pic of your sanctuary once it's done!

BTW, why don't you want to include The Expendables films? (Curious to know.)
No Man Cave would be complete without The Expendables 2 - come on, it's got just about every action star you could ever get together for one film!!
"Well, he certainly left with his tails between his legs."
) it's only The Expendables 3, I don't like. I think it was a big
Mistake to go for a 12a certification. I'd forgotten about
Machete -{ , another wonderful over the top movie.

Don't know if I understand your definition, TP, since I haven't seen any of the originally mentioned movies ( ).
But what about some good old fashioned war movies (how could people not have mentioned Das Boot!!!), or some other action-packed history films (Gladiator, Braveheart, Master and Commander). Even if you don't like the genre, those are all superb films.
And if you want to go about it from a slightly more humorous angle, top it off with some Indiana Jones maybe?

This is a Man Cave though so no Chick Flicks allowed ... And I'll take the cushion and candles out later TP
Now, John Wayne .... Hero.
That's no Man Cave, TP... it's now officially a Disney princess palace!!!!
Apart from The Notebook, add The Philadelphia Story then...
"The very words I live by."
