I have to disagree with Fools Rush In.
Salma Hayek floating in the inner tube made me happy.
Waiting to Exhale is much worse.
Apparently all men and white women are bad.

Ah, there are enough movies with great looking girls in bikinis to not have to endure watching Fools Rush In just for that scene. That movie totally sucks and I'm married so I'm subjected to it quite often when its on one of our cable channels.

Clint's not too happy with the pick of Bridges of Madison County not being a "guy" movie... Punk.
Seriously, I actually liked Bridges.

Best guy movies:
Fight Club
Black Hawk Down
Cool Hand Luke
Raiders of the Lost Ark
When We Were Kings - far better than Ali
Worst guy Movies
Secrets of the YaYa sisterhood
Love Story
Stepmom
Love Actually
Charlie's Angels 2 - because we really needed to see this after the "flawless" first film. (Bad cheesy action done by Chicks who want to kick ass without getting naked by a talentless music video director = VERY BAD guy movie. We're better off watching porn for the acting)

I'm confused. When I read the thread title, I thought you meant five great movies for guys, and five movies for guys that happened to suck. I didn't realize you meant five great guy movies and five random romantic comedies/chick flicks.
My top five best would be:
1. Die Hard
2. Aliens (who cares if it's got a female lead)
3. Dirty Harry
4. The Maltese Falcon
5. In The Company of Men
I'm kind of surprised neither Aliens nor Dirty Harry had been mentioned here yet, Dirty Harry especially with all the talk about The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly.

Top 5 guy(with some consideration given to naming new movies, because the best guy movies are also girl movies. These are movies girls usually find unappealing):
-Caddyshack
-Resevior Dogs
-Das Boot
-Boondock Saints
-The Usual Suspects
with an honorable mention to Rambo: First Blood Part II

I think I'd like a definition of what a "guy" movie is before I make my choices. God forbid I should actually like a "guy" movie. It would prolly be really embarassing to be the only chick in the theater.
