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.

Re: Greatest Guy Movies
Fight Club?
Re: Greatest Guy Movies
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).
