> [@River Hippie](#): > > American Beauty > Fight Club These aren’t guy flicks. One is about a man who gets in touch with his feelings and is killed by a man who doesn’t. The other is about a guy who is in extreme denial of his feelings, only to be redeemed in the end by Helena Bonham Carter, and it features Meat Loaf with prosthetic funbags. These are both chick flicks in disguise. ---

I was shocked it took til post #37 for **The Dirty Dozen** to be mentioned. I’d like to add a few other movies that meet the standards of being “guy” flicks. **Bill & Ted’s Excellent Adventure** Yeah, it’s cheesy, but it’s fun. And it turns history into something simple. (I loved the scene with Napoleon and the Risk board…) **Das Boot** **Force Ten from Navaronne** **Aliens** I want to include **Wizards** , but it’s more that it has two great guy scenes, not that it’s a great guy movie. “Fritz! They got Fritz! Lousy, stinking, murdering elves got Fritz!” Oh, Rutger Hauer makes some great guy movies. **Blind Fury** is particularly good. One lone man, handicapped by his limitations, taking on what seems to be the whole world. What could be more guy move than that? ---

> [@Biffy the Elephant Shrew](#): > > **A Clockwork Orange** is one of my all-time favorite movies. Every woman I know loathes it. Lucky me…my wife loves Clockwork. Another great guy movie: Death Race 2000. it has David Carradine, Sly Stallone, awesome cars, and naked boobies ---

> [@Anaamika](#): > > I love like 90 % of these movies, and I’m a girl. Guy movies are way better than chick flicks, stuff happens in guy movies. I’m with you all. Anaamika, you are my dream woman. I also nominate \*\*any Three Stooges \*\* flick. I’ve never met a woman who likes them. They just dont get it. Also, \*\*anything with Charles Bronson \*\* is bound to repel women by the masses. A really bad movie date would be a 3 Stooges short followed by Deathhunt. ---
