......for future men to watch at a young age.
Thus the point of my post. A field guide is probably a better way to say it.
yeah he is metro, (at least the character in the book) gets his nails done, goes tanning ect.

Thats funny I've never known any girls that like Xmen so I dunno where you're getting that nor do I ever hear any girl say stuff like 'I'd really love to get Hell Boy for Christmas', those movies are dominated by a male audience if girls watch em its just to make their guy happy. Or maybe you live in bizarro comic book land where girls all love comics.
I can agree the Batman movies like Batman&Robin were awful, but I don't think that makes them less of a man movie.

Digging yourself a hole, Xmen is a chickflick. And hanging around guys who like it can also be a violation.

I wouldn't talk when you named Top Gun as a guy movie, there is more homoeroticism in that movie then in Rocky Horror Picture Show. That is a huge chick flick, along with pretty much any other Tom Cruise film. Also Big Lebowski is at best non gender specific.

umm dude, Jets Lotsa Jets.
And the big lebowski is about THE DUDE.
Top Gun is on the cusp because it does have chick flick qualities. But the jets overcome any problem there may be with the romantic aspect.

I gotta side with prime on this debate. Granted, there are Jets and explosions. But they are few and far between among the scenes of serenades, bare-chested volleyball, relationship, break-up and man crying.
Top gun is not a man flick, or even a regular movie. It can only be classified as a moderately entertaining chick flick.

Big Lebowski is a great movie, and its about the Dude, but its also well liked by many women, thereby automatically disqualifying it from being a man movie. I have to go back to personal experience here. Most of my friends male and female, loved BIG L and my wife actually owned that movie before we dated.

hmm we just fast forwarded between the jet scenes, I haven't seen the whole movie in years...
But I do think you are allowing your bias against the ousted cruise from a decent movie. And the best jet movie since firefox.

I'm not a Cruise hater. I liked Samurai, Risky Business and... I'm assuming that there are more out there I just can't think of them right now.
I do like Top Gun too. But I just can't classify that movie as a guy movie. After all, there was a car crash in Thelma and Louise (so I hear), but I don't think that makes it a man movie.

I have to agree, otherwise movies such as days of thunder and apache would need to be included as well.

I gotta say re:my Tom Cruise comment, I just watched Tropic Thunder and that had to be the best role I've ever seen Cruise do.
