Admittedly, time we spend playing games or watching movies is time we're not really working on self-improvement so much as we should. But if we're going to watch movies and television anyway, what should we watch?

The Rocky movies are usually full of manly virtues, especially that first one. James Bond (Sean Connery) is a masculine idol. Gattaca is all about rising above the limitations we place on ourselves, or we allow society to place upon us. The TV show Arrow has scenes that should shame any man into working out more intensely.

It's hard to find things that don't make us a little sick once we swallow the red pill. What other shows and movies can we watch?
