On my list of romantic movies alpha males can enjoy

I'm more of a romantic myself, but I think this movie is one even alpha males can enjoy. What are some other good "chick flicks" for guys? Here's my list, what would you add?

FIREPROOF
FIRST KNIGHT
GORGEOUS (JACKIE CHAN)
HITCH
JOE VS. THE VOLCANO
MISS CONGENIALITY
PENELOPE
THE PHANTOM OF THE OPERA
PRIDE AND PREJUDICE
THE PRINCESS BRIDE
RETURN TO ME
SWEET HOME ALABAMA
TANGLED
TWILIGHT: BREAKING DAWN PART 2
WARM BODIES

If you're interested in reading my rationale for why each of these is "guy-friendly," read my article at: http://www.mormonmovieguy.com/2013/02/keep-your-man-card-15-chick-flic ks-guys.html

Really? The guy turns down sex with 3 attractive women, probably ends the movie as a married virgin homosexual. OK, I guess that's a kind of aloofness, but an alpha has got to drive forward at some point

I don't think we watched the same movie, he did not turn down sex with the first Meg Ryan, she turned him down, he was going for it until he made the mistake of mentioning that he was dying which obviously turned her off. He turned down sex with the second Meg because he knew she was vulnerable and didn't want to exploit her emotional state to get her into bed, which is one of the reasons the third Meg falls in love with him. And he didn't turn down sex with her either, she never propositioned him. The thing I didn't understand is why he didn't have sex with Meg 3 before jumping into the volcano, since that would probably be priority #1 on my list, being about to die and all. But still, your statement was wrong either way.
