What was the first "MGTOW" movie you ever saw?

What was the first “MGTOW” movie you ever saw? (Not the best, but the first.)

For me, the first “MGTOW” movie I saw the dark comedy, 1981 film, “S.O.B.” I saw it years later from a recording. And I loved the movie.

Since this is not a popular movie. I will give the basics. The movie is about a Hollywood movie politics and the main character is Felix Farmer. Felix is a blue-pill, rich, successful movie producer, with a hot wife, and two children.

The movie opens to his last film bombing hard. The movie studio is not happy with Felix. His wife left with the kids. And Felix lost his mind from a mental breakdown.

This film is a “portrait of a fallen movie producer”. And throughout the movie, it is shown how Felix crashes hard.

The film shows how distrustful women and manginas are. Such as the movie’s gossip columnist Polly Reed, whom suffers greatly in the film, with no sympathy by anyone else.

But, what makes this movie MGTOW are supporting characters. Tim Culley (Felix’s good friend and a director), Dr. Finegarten (the Hollywood quack pill doctor with a good bedside manner), Coogan (press agent). Cully and Finegarten are MGTOW in the way they act. But, they are polite about it. Throughout the film, Coogan is sort of being taught about how the world really is by Culley and Finegarten.

What the three of them do at the end of the film for Felix is truly touch, and exactly what I would expect from MGTOW men doing for one of their male friends.

Also, I have never heard a more heartwarming assisted suicide offer ever than in this film, when Culley offers to help Felix kill himself, the scene makes sense in context.

The movie is brilliant and a riot. I laughed by ass off when I saw it. I highly recommend tracking down the film to watch.

So, what was the first “MGTOW” movie you ever saw?

My response to such as this and the movie “The Family Man” is the series “House”. Think of how many lives Dr. House won’t have saved if he has gotten married and settled to only be a general practitioner.

For me it actually was an Italian movie about a farmer (in his early forties no less by the way… … best age range to go mgtow; and now I am roughly the same age), who was so stoic about not getting involved with women and yet at the same time was approached by a few women and one in particular, who from the very start tried her utmost best to lure him into being her boyfriend but he continued to call her out on her romantic bulls~~~ and to brush her off wherever he could, which inevitably got her enraged real good (kinda like: “Just how dare he refuse me…?”) and only in the very end he gave in to her begging (I know, not a very happy mgtow ending but well…).

Now that flick was as old as from the early 80s and at one point I linked to it here, but unfortunately it is no longer available on yt. Then again even if it was, back then it was only dubbed from Italian into German and never into English (such a pity that). I do however have it on DVD. One day (as in once I may find the time to do it that is…) I might make the effort to put English subtitles onto it. I am sure you guys would enjoy it big time.

Back then (in the 80s) it was clearly waaaay ahead of its time that’s for sure…

The title could be translated as “The tamed unmanageable guy” and it just says it all.

I'd rather die a natual death with a clear MGTOW conscience somewhere off the grid than one within "modern" civilisation with a big stress mark on my forehead and a couple of dozen tubes plugged into my body. Back to the plantation..? Me..? Hey, literally: I won't ever fucking kid myself...YZERLMNTSIC
