22. PREDATOR
Directed by John McTiernan (1987)
Arnold Schwarzenegger has never been as manly as he was in this alien-hunting testosterone-fest. Hell, has a manlier film ever been made? Exhibits A, B, and C: Predator kick-starts with Carl Weathers and Arnold, greased biceps flexed, locking fists in some protein handshake. Jesse ''the Gubernatorial Body'' Ventura actually says ''I ain't got time to bleed'' after getting shot. And Arnold finally takes on the Predator by stripping to the waist, covering himself with mud, and building a bow out of tree branches and twine. Plus, Bill Duke shaves — in the middle of the jungle — with no shaving cream. No shaving cream! Manly.
CARL WEATHERS: ''Predator was just unbridled testosterone — never having to worry about makeup or wardrobe because you're just a bunch of sweaty guys in the jungle with fatigues on.''
