100 Movies that are Cool on Purpose

Everyone makes 'top 100 movie lists'.  The problem is, most of them suck.  Most lists are filled with films that are either so dated or dramatic that only die-hard flimgoers will enjoy them, or they have crap movies like G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra making the cut.  Lucky for you, Mark Houston and I (Lion El Aton) have brought you the definitive list of 100 movies that are Cool on Purpose in no particular order.  Movies that every guy should love and try to get for their collection.  If you haven't seen some of these, you're in for a treat.  You might want to bookmark this one.
