Films about tough bastards

What are some films about tough bastards, either emotionally or physically?

I’ll start with Bronson.

Traces of Stones

Rosetta (tough as nails and no father)

Born to Kill

The Limey

Also, anything with Lee Marvin.

Ha! I just re-watched The Limey.

And Rosetta is yes, one tough cookie.

Ghost Dog

i’ve been becoming re-obsessed with it lately.

Come on now, Bring Me the Head of Alfredo Garcia!!!!!

all dirty harry films
the french connection 1&2
death wish series
chopper
dead mans shoes
cockfighter

the wild bunch

hard-boiled and the killer

le samourai

touchez pas au grisbi

No Lee Marvin yet? Take your pick, but I’ll pick Prime Cut.

Charles Bronson is the toughest bastard of all.

pretty much most of the Cannon films of the 80s are about tough bastards

“The Seven Samurai”
“The Dirty Dozen”

Charles Bronson in Hard Times
Mel Gibson in Road Warrior
Humphrey Bogard Petrified Forrest
John Wayne The Searchers

Lee Marvin in Point Blank

Clint Eastwood in High Plains Drifter

Charles Bronson in Once Upon A Time In The West

those dudes from spandau ballet in the krays

not even kidding. those guys were scary

also cagney in the public enemy and white heat

and there’s goodfellas and the godfather films

and bill the butcher in gangs of new york

nobody said oldboy?

Robert Duval in “The Great Santini”
Angelina Jolie in “Wanted”
Hard Candy
Fando, of Jodorowski’s “Fando y Liz”. He’s a tough bastard.
Rodger Dodger
Man Bites Dog

I’m of a mind to disagree about “Ghost Dog” being a tough bastard, he’s too noble for that, he’s a (modern day) samurai.

Escape from La,Escape from NYC-Snake Pliskin
Video game that qualifies as film-Metal Gear Solid-Snake

Yojimbo.

Steve McQueen in Papillon
Vinnie Jones in Lock, Stock & two Smoking Barrels

“Come out to da coast, we’ll get together, have a few laughs.”

Only Angels Have Wings (1939) and Wages of Fear (1953)

of course.

On The Waterfront

Murakawa in Sonatine

All Whit Stillman films qualify. Is there a more macho son-of—bitch than Chris Eigeman’s Nick Smith in “Metropolitan”?

lol

Z. Bart, you mean, of course, other than Woody Allen?
