Guy Movies That Girls Can Like Too: Road House

     If you've never heard of Road House or you have absolutely no interest in watching it, let me give you two words: Patrick Swayze.  That's pretty much all you need to know as a female to be interested in this movie.  Swayze is joined by another of my favorite actors, Sam Elliott.  If Elliott isn't attractive to you, however, just close your eyes and listen.  He's got one of those voices that would sound amazing just reading the phone book.  You may have heard it in a commercial for a Dodge.  Swayze's love interest is played by Kelly Lynch, but let's just face it.  Her hair can't compete with the awesomeness that is Patrick Swayze's mullet.
     Patrick Swayze plays Dalton, a bouncer who is hired to class up a bar.  Of course, he faces adversity at every turn when people refuse to play by his rules.  He's one of those "I'm a lover and a fighter" types, but he only turns to violence, of course, when more amicable means are unpersuasive.  A line from the movie that perfectly sums up who Dalton is would be when he says, "Pain don't hurt."  Don't think about it too much.  Just go with it.
     Road House came out in 1989, so it has plenty of cheesiness to enjoy and laugh about.  There is a scene in particular at the end involving a stuffed bear that makes me laugh just thinking about it.  Like I said earlier, though, don't think too much about it.  It's definitely an action movie made for those who like to watch people getting beat up and Patrick Swayze beating people up.  Let's face it.  What girl doesn't want to watch Patrick Swayze do that?  There's also some pretty horses and Patrick Swayze meditating to pass the time.  Of course, it's got just enough romance and even some sadness to make viewing go down easier for those who aren't big action fans.
