Dirty Harry.
The Big Red One.
Have to concur on The Big Red One. IMHO, that's one of the best war movies ever made.Originally Posted by anasazi
Are you a fan of Tony Hillerman books? Great take on the Anasazi, Navaho, and Hopi cultures in the form of novels.

Have never read one, but I may check them out. I love to read.
Back before kids, when I had time to read, I picked up a lot of fiction at the Good Will type stores. You'll find plenty of Tony Hillerman books there and you only end up spending a fraction of the regular admission.Have never read one, but I may check them out. I love to read.

Comedies!
golfnerd mentioned some comedies--forgot about Blazing Saddles but yes, that was funny! I don't think that movie could be produced these days with our politically correct culture. "The sheriff is near"
Another comedy would be Three Amigos! "Do you have anything to eat besides Mexican?"Her: "You may kiss me on the veranda." Him: "The lips will be fine."
I saw Dirty Harry last night starring Clint Eastwood. That was a good one. Especially that deviant guy who raped and kidnapped a bus full of kids got it in the end.
Yep, whoever said Clint Eastwood earlier was right. I like a lot of his movies.

Nobody's mentioned Predator yet?Gotta be the ultimate testosterone fueling movie!
The Dirty Dozen
The Great Escape (doesn't have a single female speaking part).
True Lies (perfect blend of action and comedy)
Well frankly, I find this to be a horrendously sexist and artificial classification, so I'll just list my favourite films (in no particular order).
The Lord of the Rings trilogy
Star Wars Episodes III-VI (yes, I did actually like RotS)
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: The Movie (original live-action film)
TMNT (2007 CGI film)
Transformers: The Movie (G1)
Transformers (2007)
Sonic the Hedgehog: The Movie (okay, its status as a movie as opposed to an OVA is questionable, but Metal Sonic is sufficiently awesome to overcome this)
The Matrix
Goldeneye
Casino Royale
Die Hard
Aladdin
The Lion King
Good Will Hunting
Pokemon the Movie 2000 (I've seen the first five Pokemon films, and they all have their good points, but only this one has a sufficiently high ratio of ownage to cheesiness to get onto this list)
That's all I can think of right now.
EDIT: I knew I forgot some.
Pirates of the Caribbean Trilogy
Harry Potter series

Well, the thread was about "guy movies" so the choices will tend to be movies that appeal primarily to men. Why criticise the thread for that?
The Crow
and
Jerimiah Johnson
I liked City of Angels a lot more, but The Crow was more of a guy movie than the sequel was it seemed. I think that was because of the supporting actress in City of Angels, she really did a good job with the part. But yeah far from a chick flick for sure
The Crow: City of Angels is probably my favorite as far as the art directing went, the scenes and lighting were very well done. The only thing that comes close for such a unique city setting was probably Dark City, though Blade Runner probably did it well first. I mean at least a city that is more up close and tangible where the characters really intertwined with the scenes, other than like Star Wars (ep1+2+3) where city scenes seemed a bit too remarkable while kept at a distance; SW being more about interior scenes, overall.
