Best of the Guy Movies

I too am puzzled by the inclusion of Groundhog’s Day. After all, it is, on its most superficial level, a romantic comedy – not exactly the makings of a “guys-only” movie.

Even though it has a female lead, I saw the Terminator for the very first time recently, and it really got my testosterone flowing.

I had a roommate once who used to watch “The Rock” virtually every other day; I think anything combining the talents of Nicholas Cage and Sean Connery would have to qualify.

But I have to agree that the all-time Guy Movie would be “The Good, The Bad, and the Ugly.” I can’t think of anything else that really comes close to the title.

I was like heywaitaminute! But of course you’re right! :wink:

43

I had one who would watch The Principal virtually every other day.

44

Haha, that movie is so ridiculous. I love when they start shooting each other with that massive sniper rifle. I dont know if I could sit through the movie a second time though. :slight_smile:

45

Robocop
Great guy film and I think it is a great movie.

The Terminator
Brazil, some women like it but not many.

46

I’ll second Kelly’s Heroes and throw in Stand By Me and Goldfinger.

47

The greatest guy movie I’ve ever seen’s gotta be Titanic. That thing was EPIC!!

What?

48

I cackled like a loon when the cop realized he was about to be shot at with it and tried a Matrix-style bullet dodge. He got about 1/3 of the way down before vanishing in a mass of flame and molten steel.

49

True Lies

50

48 threads and no-one has mentioned: Deliverance,?
Withnail & I

51

What was that '80’s Brian Bosworth biker hit? Stone Cold? A guy flick through and through. Why it’s so memorable for me (a chick) I’m not sure…

52

More for the list:

The Wild One - “What’re you rebelling against, Johnny?” “Whaddya got?”

Léon The Professional - This is really the ultimate father/daughter movie :smiley:

Das Boot - War movies automatically make the guy movie list, and Das Boot is one of the best.

Shaft - Nuff said.

My Dog Skip - I’m adding this one cause it’s th eonly maovie that ever made me cry, dammit.

53

Then you would be wrong. :wink:

I love Tango & Cash ! How could you not love a movie that gave us FUBAR ?

54

I gotta vote for Rudy. And Hoosiers.

55

Reservior Dogs

56

Put me down for

Saving Private Ryan
True Lies
all of the Terminator movies
Brazil
In the Line of Fire
Excalibur
The Abyss
Dark City

I love 'em all!

57

I’m surprised that Quinton Tarrantino hasn’t been mentioned yet.

Reservoir Dogs
Pulp Fiction
Kill Bill I & II

to name a few.

Most westerns and war movies are guy movies just because of the genre aren’t they?

Deliverance. (Squeal Like a Pig!)

58

All the Eastwood movies mentioned and I didn’t see Unforgiven. Gritty dialog, whores, killings, beat downs, and no pretty boy eye candy in sight.

59

I’ve got one that I don’t believe has been mentioned so far. A guy movie through and through, an action movie with a killer soundtrack, that almost any man who grew up in the '80s knows by heart. And if you do not have a heart of stone and ice, it’s guaranteed to make you cry a little bit too.

Of course I’m talking about Transformers: The Movie.

Amen, Brother Botfan.

I wish they’d revived Generation 1. :frowning:
