The 50 Best Guy Movies Of All Time

A great list from Men's Journal. But what is a guy movie? Lucky for us, they answer that too:

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. The Deer Hunter got KO'd despite lengthy elk hunting and torture scenes because Meryl Streep was in it. Sure, she's a great actress, but rules are rules: no films with Meryl Streep.

Guy films can be watched in groups, over and over, and you should be able to recite yards of dialogue from memory. Great lines stick in your mind forever, like old pop songs, and when you blurt one of them in public ("Say hello to my leetle friend!" "Don't ever take sides with anybody against the family again"), women and children should give you odd looks, while other guys -- total strangers -- glance over and nod with respect and understanding.

And I bet when you see Number 1 on the list, you'll nod with respect and understanding too. If you're a guy, that is.

Hey, no argument here, as that movie was filmed at the old County Stadium here in Milwaukee. A number of my friends were extras in the crowd scenes. All that with Bob Uecker too, and zero Meryl Streep!
