Reading CNN.com, I came across this article about the list that some men's magazine did of the 50 Best Guy Movies Of All Time. They only list the top ten online, but the CNN article mentions some others that made the list. I haven't seen most of the films in the top ten, but I don't think that it has anything to do with me not being a guy, but more because they came out either before I was born or when I was really little, and they always manage to get rented when I'm not around (meaning that no one wants to rent them twice). Well that, and the fact that my brother insists that the first Terminator movie isn't very good and refuses to watch it when it comes on cable.
According to the criteria, "We believe that a true guy movie is a movie only a guy can love. A crucial distinction. Pop one into the DVD player and your wife or girlfriend should run screaming from the room. We frown upon films that are too serious or sensitive." However, by that standard, The Matrix shouldn't be weighing in at #8 on their list, because not only do I know plenty of women who like it, it's also kind of on the serious side. Also, despite all the fighting and stuff in Rocky that movie is waaay to sappy to end up on a list of movies only a guy could love.
