Who were/are the "Real Men" in the movies?

216.244.21.35

Mates,

In the last few days, there have been quite a number of posts concerning male lead actors old and new- Ford, Clooney, Tracy, Cruise, Costner, and I even had a little conversation with Clark about Wayne.

So, my troll for today is to ask you who in the movies past and present represent postitive male role models- men who you or you think others look to as the "real men?

And, what is it about your choices that you find influential, inspiring, or memorable? Are these attributes due to their real-life personality or mainly the characters they typically portray? Are these actors popular because they appeal to women or to men or both? Good with violence or sensitive souls?

A few names for consideration: Valentino, Fairbanks, Cheney, Chaplin, Gable, Mix, Grant, Gabin, Flynn, Powell, Holden, Cooper, Wayne, Stewart, Bogart, Douglas, Heston, Niven, Hope, Laughton, Brando, Mifune, Quinn, McQueen, Redford, Allen, Connery, dePardieu, Kinksi, Beatty, Sheen, Hoffman, deNiro, Cruise, Costner, Ford, Willis, Martin, Hanks, Grant, Irons, Nicholson, Carrey, Damon, Pitt, Meyers, Depp, Clooney.

Those in a bad mood are also very welcome to rant about the male leads that they find really annoying and present negative images.

Now, I'm off to write a poem about AK-47s.

Cheers,

Bambi B

PS: Patrick and Victor, I expect to read at least two names I've never seen before!
