Remember the scene in "Sleepless in Seattle" which degenerated from a discussion of "An Affair to Remember" into a weepy discussion by the guys about "The Dirty Dozen"? The Bond movies are the "Guy Flicks," but only the ones with the real Bond, Sean Connnery.

Pretty good list if you ask me; many of these films are either outright or cult classics. Glad to see a great, original films like Big Lebowski, Fight Club, and Diner recognized alongside the big boys of rockin' male cinema (aka Dirty Harry, Scarface, Caddyshack, John Wayne, Bruceb Willis).
Blade, Fletch, and Easy Rider aren't really up to this list in my opinion, but you can't win them all I guess.
