Middle aged, balding, heterosexual, slightly overweight male friendly movies :) (1 Viewer)

This is for Mike Knapp. http://www.hometheaterforum.com/htfo...236#post594236
Lots of movies have the good looking guy getting the beautiful girl. But what movies are there where the middle-aged, balding, slightly overweight guys get the beautiful young girl, without having tons of money?
Who Framed Roger Rabbit and Grumpier Old Men both sort of fit, but I can't think of many more.
BTW, while this is clearly tongue-in-cheek, feel free to respond if you want to.

 

[Steve Enemark]

Any Humphrey Bogart picture.

 

[Evan Case]

A bunch of beer commercials do.
I'm not sure how old Fatty Arbuckle was in 1917, but he was always getting the girls when not beating the crap out of Buster Keaton and Al St. John.
Likewise, Bill Murray in Groundhog Day isn't exactly svelte (okay, he's not ghastly looking, but surely Andie MacDowell could see five years down the road).
Homer landed Marge, but I've come to consider her as a surrogate mother, so the thought of finding her hot weirds me out.

I think As good as it gets with Jack Nicholson and Helen Hunt fits right in here

 

[John Thomas]

...in before the lock.

 

[Mark-W]

Any recent Woody Allen film, minus the weight, but balances
out with being more than middle aged.
Also, Jack Nicholson with Michele Pfeiffer, Cher, and
Susan Sarandon..Witches of Eastwhick..then Jack with Michele again in Wolf.
On a more serious note, I hear very good things about
The Tao of Steve, which features an slightly
pudgy guy who draws women with his charisma...
"Gay" Mark

As a almost-middle-aged, balding, heterosexual, slightly overweight male, I like the Terminator movies.

 

[Mike Knapp]

Thanks for this thread! I needed a smile today.
Hell, the best example I can think of is "Heist"...Gene Hackman and Rebecca Pidgeon? Gimme a frickin break on that one!

[David Lawson]

The protagonist in Haiku Tunnel is involved with two rather attractive ladies during the course of the film.
The big fat guy in Austin Powers 2 did get to spend some time with Heather Graham...

 

[JasenP]

Do I need to bring up the entire Ron Jeremy filmography?
The Hedgehog gets a LOT of the girls....

 

[Matt Stryker]

Tao of Steve absolutely perfectly fits the bill. And he gets many, not just one. Great movie IMHO.

Hey that's Captain Kirk!
Any of the original crew Star Trek films will do nicely. I take it wearing a "rug" qualifies for this thread.

 

[Dana Fillhart]

Bill Murray in Groundhog Day...or Osmosis Jones, or Scrooged (though the latter 2 he doesn't exactly get "the girl".)
Oh yeah, somebody did mention GD above...I'm losing it...
Oh...and why was this thread moved out of movies?

 

[Janna S]

Check out Iris.

My guess is this thread was judged to be humorous instead of a serious discussion on Middle aged, balding, heterosexual, slightly overweight male friendly movies. But you see that's really the whole problem, middle aged, balding, heterosexual, slightly overweight males are never taken seriously. Every other stereotyped group has "issues" that make others sensitive to their plight, but alas, not Middle aged, balding, heterosexual, slightly overweight males. We simply get, as the President of the "Middle aged, balding, heterosexual, slightly overweight males" protection society President, Rodney Dangerfield says, no RESPECT!

Except Shatner insists he doesn't. Want to see him go ballistic? Ask him about his hairpiece.

 

[Dave Falasco]

Entrapment comes to mind, with Connery getting a delightfully svelte Catherine Zeta-Jones. And I just saw Don't Say a Word, and was taken slightly taken aback by Michael Douglas somehow managing to snag Famke Jansen (sp?) as his "wife".

 

[ace peterson]

Revenge of the Nerds but they aren't middle aged...
Weird Science but they are kids, too...

 

[Scooter]

Man..shoulda added the word "Viagra" at the end of thread title!!!! No "chick" flicks!!!!!

The Devils Advocate..remember the VERY original ending?!?!?!

Used Cars

Showgirls ( I didn't say GREAT flicks..only chick flicks)

Swordfish What with Halle Berre's NEW look and ALL that action!!!

Survivor Exposed

And it goes on and on and on...
