Reminder for every dude-bro man movie there is female chick-flick equivalent.
A prime example is the 2004, endlessly quotable, sleeper hit with a great ensemble of side characters, about an outsider who bests the most popular girl in school.
More films in the🧵 below:
Master and Commander and The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants
Travel, comradary, loyalty it's all there
The Thing and The Descent
Both are about an isolation, distrust, claustrophobia and are almost exclusively male/female only casts.
Gladiator and The Devil Wears Prada
The egomaniac tyrant uses their power to try and subdue someone better than them by any means necessary.
Twilight and The Lost Boys
These are literally the same movie but with the genders and motives opposite.
Drive and Hocus Pocus
Just trust me on this
LotR and Harry Potter
If you were old enough to remember both movies when they came out you know 90% of girls were playing sorting hat games and 90% of boys were yelling 'YOU SHALL NOT PASS' at eachother.
Robocop and Miss Congeniality
The cop who became someone new to take out the bad guys.
@ManletThorin is there any I missed? I'm honestly at loss for the Predator equivalent as well.
