Some Good (And Very Bad) Fellas (Part 1)

I somewhat recently discovered the existence of a sub-genre of films called “Dudes Rock Cinema,” which basically equates to '80s, '90s, and '00s action and crime films, leading men executing their jobs at a high level, and/or anything your dad might watch on a Sunday afternoon.  Over the next two episodes, we'll look at a group of male-centric films that operate in this lane. Some portray heroic figures who, even if they bend the rules of heroism and/or the law, we still root for them — think Wyatt Earp, John McClane, and The Dude. On the flip side, we have some nefarious folks who choose a slightly darker path, oftentimes getting involved in criminal activity — think Lou Bloom, The MacManus Brothers, and Henry Hill. Either way, they're each unique portraits of masculinity on the big screen. 2:55 - 28:51: The Big Lebowski (Gavin Miller-Broomfield) 28:52 - 54:45: Tombstone (Ryan Arey) 55:09 - 1:21:31: Die Hard (Robert Mays) 1:21:32 - 1:56:26: Miami Vice (Lukas Fryer)
