God, those kind of movies turn my stomach. Disgusting!

My nominee for the ultimate "Guy Movie": Sam Peckinpah's "The Wild Bunch"

 

[Ivan Kipling]

The Dirty Dozen

 

[Britalian]

Ahhh! Guy.
In that case: Reservoir Dogs.

My guess is that Pretty Woman doesn't count ;p

Some of my favourite "guy" movies are those where the good guy is driven purely by revenge and settling the score - even if it means breaking the rules, or causing collateral damage. Not everybody is Luke Skywalker, or Superman.

Dirty Harry
Man With No Name Trilogy
Godfather I and II
The Big Boss/Fists of Fury/Enter The Dragon
Bourne Identity/Supremacy
Get Carter
Batman/Batman Begins

Not addressed to me, but I think the best guy movies are the ones that get guy psychology. Like that bit near the end of Closer (which isnt a guy movie at all btw) where Clive Owen says something like 'I didnt **** her to **** her, ******** her to **** you' and you just totally know that because he had done it, Jude Law will have it stuck in his head forever etc...

Wah. One of my favs. Hey, I seriously like 3-pc suits, Lotuses (Loti?) and redheads. Plus they have an XJ-S in there. So sue me.

I guess (in the trad sense) the only 'guy' movie I especially like is Lethal Weapon. Though I would cite Crimson Tide or Red October over either. And The Ghost and The Darkness.
