Tough Guys

Noah was sitting on the floor tonight and did something different. He wanted something in front of him and somehow managed to fall flat on his face. He normally rolls over and hits the back of his head. He seemed pretty nonplussed by the whole thing, to which Amanda and I made a declaration of his toughness.

It got me thinking about what tough-guy movies I'd like for him to see and why. Off the top of my head:

  • Rocky (obvious)
  • Rocky II (got to love your wife)
  • Rocky III (you can't get soft)
  • Rocky IV (general toughness in Siberia)
  • Raiders of the Lost Ark (fighting the big German, truck scene)
  • Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom (tough guys can repent)
  • Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade (good father-son movie)
  • Cool Hand Luke (preparation for the work world)
  • Dirty Dozen (team building)
Any other thoughts?
