You’ve been stuck at home for weeks now. If you have kids, well, that hasn’t made it any easier. They’re starting to go stir crazy and how many times can you possibly watch ‘Frozen’ or ‘Cars’ or some other “family friendly flick” again without having a cerebrovascular incident?
At some point you have to get your mind off of things. Put them to bed tonight and leave behind all of the talk of masks, ventilators, chloroquine and viral doses for a while and lose yourself in a good movie.
If you’re a guy guy (or girl…we know you’re out there, too) why not make it an entertaining, escapist shoot-em-up with some good gunny action?
Here are our picks for the 10 best movies to satisfy the gun guy in you to burn a couple of hours in quarantine.
Collateral
Six billion people on the planet and he’s getting bent out of shape because of one fat guy?
Dirty Harry
Ah, the classics. Any movie that so prominently features a Smith & Wesson Model 29 is worth your time, no matter how dated it may seem now.
Enemy at the Gates
Russians and Germans killing each other. What else do you need to know?
Full Metal Jacket
Kubrick. Gunny. Mickey Mouse. ‘Nuff said.
Jack Reacher
How many wish that they were born knowing what they know now? Ask yourself how many would do things the same way over again? And how many would live their lives like him?
John Wick
OK, I skip through the part where they kill his dog. There are some things I just don’t want to see.
The Matrix
Guns. Lots of guns.
No Country for Old Men
The point is there ain’t no point.
Skyfall
The best Bond movie of all time. Best cast. Best story. Best director.
Taken
A very particular set of skills. Skills that involve plenty of guns.
