1) My definition of a guy movie: Any film that your significant other: a) questions why you watch it, b) doesn't watch with you, c) leaves the room because you're watching it or d) knows you won't pay attention to them because it's on.
2) I tried to stay away from superhero flicks (I'm as big a comic book nerd as the next guy) unless it transcended the genre and was just a brilliant guy movie
3) Must be some sort of violence, raunchy comedy, father son movie, sports movie or all of the above
4) Sports movies may not come in as high on the list not because I don't like them but because some are only watchable once where other movies ahead of them aren't.
That final rule brings me to my rating levels in this list.
1-10: I stop everything I'm doing to watch this movie no matter the time
10-20: Very few things will pull me away
20-50: Will (or have) watch whenever it's on TV
50-100: Enjoy these movies but I'm not terribly upset if I miss it on TV
One final thing, I'm 23 years old, I've seen a decent number of movies made before my time but will readily admit I haven't seen many John Wayne movies, some of the older James Bond films, and some of DeNiro and Pacino's stuff. So if you want to get upset because some of those movies aren't on here you can do that or send me which ones you think I should see. All that said, here's the list. If you have a movie that you think qualifies that you think I should see, send me the suggestion at ryan@espnup.com subject line "Guy Movie". Enjoy!
