I’ll attempt to reply this through the short-cut of stealing.

- When Lieutenant Colonel Frank Slade in Scent of a woman notices that the young Donna, who he has previously never met, is sat alone in the hotel lobby restaurant, waiting for her very late date, a Tango begins to play, and he asks her up for a dance, making her the centre of attention, and attraction, within a minute.
THAT, is a good man!

- When Sam Baldwin, stressed by his young son to start dating in Sleepless in Seattle, angry at first when he hears his son on a late night radio talk-show, then is sat on the sofa describing to the radio-show hostess why he still loves his wife that’s passed:
Doctor Marcia Fieldstone: Tell me what was so special about your wife?
Sam Baldwin: Well, how long is your program? Well, it was a million tiny little things that, when you added them all up, they meant we were suppose to be together... and I knew it. I knew it the very first time I touched her. It was like coming home... only to no home I'd ever known... I was just taking her hand to help her out of a car and I knew. It was like... magic.
And then, both for his own sake, but perhaps mostly for the sake of his son, he makes an effort to move on.
THAT, is a good man!

- When Jim Braddock, an old over the edge boxer, still a fighter, in Cinderella Man can’t provide anymore for his family in the midst of the 1930’s New York depression, when the electricity is turned off due to un-paid bills, and his wife relocates the children to close family, yet he has promised his elder son they will never be sent away, when he walks into the gentleman’s club where he was once regarded something, now a beggar who swallows his manly pride, puts cap in hand, and begs for a donation for the electricity bill so that his family can be reunited.
THAT, is a good man!

- When Harry, in When Harry met Sally, runs like a madman to the New Year’s party, after all that has been said and done, puts all his macho bullshit aside and with one look admits he is madly in love with her.
THAT, is a good man!

- When Hawkeye (Nathaniel Poe) , in Last of the Mohicans, is trying to rescue a group, they’re hiding under the waterfall, being hunted by the Magua warriors, the Magua closing in, there being no chance they can all escape, when he promises the object of his affection, Cora Munro, that the best for them is for Cora and her sister to stay, be captured, while he and his clique take off, and he promises her it is the best way, and that he will come rescue her. The self-confidence in his own ability and bravery, the coolness in being able to make such a decision, the only decision that can save them all….
THAT, is a good man!

- When Sean Maguire finally reaches through to problem-child Will Hunting, in the film with the same name, when he describes:
My wife used to turn the alarm clock off in her sleep. I was late for work all the time because in the middle of the night she'd roll over and turn the damn thing off. Eventually I got a second clock and put it under my side of the bed, but it got to where she was gettin' to that one too. She was afraid of the dark, so the closet light was on all night. Thing kept me up half the night. Eventually I'd fall asleep, out of sheer exhaustion and not wake up when I was upposed to cause she'd have already gotten to my alarms.

My wife's been dead two years, Will. And when I think about her, those are the things I think about most. Little idiosyncrasies that only I knew about. Those made her my wife. And she had the goods on me too. Little things I do out of habit. People call these things imperfections
Will. It's just who we are. And we get to choose who we're going to let into out weird little worlds. You're not perfect. And let me save you the suspense, this girl you met isn't either. The question is, whether or not you're perfect for each other. You can know everything in the world, but the only way you're findin' that one out is by giving it a shot. You sure won't get the answer from an old fucker like me. And even if I did know, I wouldn't tell you.
THAT, is a good man!

When Jerry Maguire, in the film with the same name, comes running from the rain outside, into the living-room, knowing he’s behaved an arse, admitting it in front of all the women gathered there, the women he knows have been not to kind next to his name in phrases recently uttered, but he doesn’t care. He needs to save his chances with his woman.
THAT, is a good man!

- When Rocky , in the film with the same name, knowing he is not a perfect man, knowing he is a bit of a rough exterior, knowing he is a clumsy and seemingly not so bright character who doesn’t have much more to offer than his bad jokes and good heart, still doesn’t give up, still pursues the Adrian he has chosen, and gets her.
THAT, is a good man!

- When Harry S Stamper, in Armageddon, after initial fury, he then recognizes that the love between his daughter and A.J Frost is for real, he sacrifices his life so that A.J can come home to his girl.
THAT, is a good man!

- When Johnny, in Frankie and Johnny, lusts for Frankie, and courts her, still recognizes that Frankie’s been very much hurts, so he continues to court her, but without pushing too much, and finally they wake up together one morning.
THAT, is a good man!

- When Ray Kinsella in Field of Dreams hears whispering voices that “if you build it, he will come”, he builds a whole baseball field, with stands and all, on his own…
THAT, is a good man!

And the list goes on, forever.

They were all acting, like most men i've come across.

Missing the point

I got it, just thinking around it.

- When Sir James Matthew Barrie, at the end of Finding Neverland, in order to keep his promise of taking Sylvía, who is ill, to Neverland, he brings the successful play to her living room.
THAT, is a good man!

(just remembered I have to see this one again. Johnny Depp is always brilliant)

Alone?


I haven't watched it.

A man who takes directions ?

...to carry protection!

Ha! Undecided

Depends on what kind of films you like whether you'll like this one.
Not a single car is blown up, there's no murder, and no one gets run over and killed by an ambulance.

Oh my....when they take away all the action, what is left?!
