Greatest Guy Movies

[Area Man]

Digital Dream Door currently has a list of the best chick flicks, but what about guy movies? Would there be any interest in making such a list?

These are just some of my favorites (I didn't want to exceed the text limit for a post). I'm sure that you can think of many, many more that aren't listed here. Not all films listed might qualify as "guy movies;" we can hash that out later, I guess. Like I said, I'm just here to get the ball rolling.

Fight Club?

Fight Club?

I actually haven't seen Fight Club yet, but it would surely make a list of this nature. The films in the original post are just some of my favorites, made to get the conversation started. It lacks certain movies, like Die Hard (1988), that would surely make the finished list, but aren't necessarily my all-time favorites (don't get me wrong, I do enjoy Die Hard, though).

Fight Club?

I liked it.
My wife hated it.

Problem solved!

Also, women love "Casablanca".
In fact I borrowed the DVD from a female who says it's her favorite movie, and she gifted me a DVD of it.

[Area Man]

The reason I listed the romantic drama Casablanca in the list of potential candidates for such a project was because I once saw a Top X Movies list on the Internet that mentioned that it was ranked higher by male audience members than female viewers (well, that and because I love the movie).

Anyway, here are some links to Internet lists of the top guy movies:
