A man manages to lose his mind and accidentally create a loyal and violent army bent on the destruction of society. Awesome.
Traffic
This is your brain on drugs. Dead. And if you wanna get in the way of some Mexicans trying to sell some drugs? Dead. Everybody pays dearly in the this film. It’s an expensive public service message for not doing coke.
Braveheart
Mel Gibson did Hamlet, and as far as I’m concerned he’s paid his dues and can be as awesome as he wants screaming and murdering hundreds of fully grown men with his bare hands.
Carlitos Way
Friends can end you sometimes, or a man can try so hard to get away from a life of sad endings and still get shot to death by an ignorant fool.
American Ninja
I want ninjas fighting for our country!
The Boondock Saints
The Irish man is a crazy man born into a family of crazies. These two have it instilled in themselves to execute whomever they so desire.
Unforgiven
Everybody misjudges each other on a bad day with hilarious but bittersweet tragic results, and then Clint murders everyone.
Billy Jack
Yet another crazy man, trying to come to peace with himself and his surroundings, is completely underestimated by idiots and easy hippie girls. “ya know what I‘m gonna do then, just for the hell of it? I‘m gonna take this right foot and I‘m gonna whop you and that side of your face. and ya know something? There’s not a damn thing you’re gonna be able to do about it.”
Napoleon Dynamite
All he wants is success, love, and friendship but he’s just too awesomely retarded for anyone to understand.
Heat
Robbery, passion, backstabbing, murder, and child suicide in Los Angeles.
Leon (The Professional)
A little girl’s entire family is massacred by crooked federal agents, so a hired killer takes her in and through learns to love life again before exploding.
I'm not sure what you base your list on, but there's hardly a movie there that I'd watch again, let alone once. Is it that you like violent movies? That seems to be the link between all these.

If you're such a pacifist then that's good. Not everyone has the stomach for violence. My mother doesn't, I couldn't watch any of these movies with her. I have to admit though, it's hard for me to try and logically explain myself to someone who tells my list sucks just because the movies on it are violent.

I don't think I said the list 'sucks'. It doesn't. It's just that you title the article 'movies someone might think you're dumb for not watching.' Some people (not me, necessarily) might think you're dumb for watching them! LOL

No, you didn't say that it sucks. I just assumed you didn't like the list based on your comment. It's light hearted sarcastic humor.
"10 Movies Someone Might Think You're Dumb for Not Watching" My other assumption was that anyone that enjoys all types of cinema would like my list. The common denominator in all of these movies is that they're all about "man" spitting in the face of adversity in as realistic a portrayal as the eye-catching story on the front page of a morning newspaper. Here's the twist though... movies aren't real. So the fact that a movie is violent is of absolutely no consequence to me. Too bad you can't see that and just enjoy a well produced piece.
