I was watching 'The Thing' this weekend and realized how many great movies there are with no women in them.

The Thing
12 Angry Men
Reservoir Dogs
Master and Commander
Also I don't remember any women in Das Boot.

All great guy movies.

"Castaway"? How do you know Wilson wasn't female?

Anyway, I think the best ones have been mentioned. But, how about most of the Robinson Crusoes. Other than that, I can't think of a good movie -let alone a great movie-- without at least one woman. Even "Bird Man of Alcatraz" and "Escape from Alcatraz" have small female parts.

5 man army -(well ok, there is one, but really bit part)
March or Die - (all out foreign legion action)

ok, I think there was a picture a woman in a locker in das boot. ;D

i think if they are not in a major roll, then it counts.

Otherwise, it'll be the big list of gay porn movies. (please no)

Er, virtually any decent war zone movie is a chick free zone....
The Longest Day
A Bridge Too Far
Private Ryan
Das Boot
Stalingrad
The Cruel Sea
Platoon
Full Metal Jacket
Apocalypse Now
Go Tell the Spartans
Cockleshell Heroes
Etc, etc, etc.

Though there are some honorable exceptions, of course:
Odette
Carve Her Name With Pride
Where Eagles Dare
Ice Cold in Alex
Deer Hunter

How about "The Hill"

Awesome! Sean Connery is great in this one.

And Happy Christmas Mr.Lawrence (great line: "Why don't you just work it!)

I think there's a difference between a movie with no women and one with no important female characters, or where all the important characters are men.
