Humphrey Bogart in Casablanca, The Big Sleep and The Maltese Falcon to name just three.

Henry Fonda, Charles Bronson and Jason Robards in Once Upon a Time in the West.

Kill Bill - Volume 1. I know all the main protagonists are female, but the movie is an homage to all those spaghetti westerns, samuri movies and Hong Kong flicks will all love. 

Anything with the Three Stooges.

Any movie with a late 60's early 70's Plymouth or Dodge muscle car that goes fast and makes loud noises - Yes - The Dukes of Hazzard count!!!!

See >:D how I made this spiral?

Seriously?  I think we need to revoke your membership in the man club.   ;)

Kingdom of Haven, pure hack and slash.

Did you mean Kingdom of Heaven

I'd add The Kingdom.  Just for Jason Bateman.    :nod:

Yeah, but I'm not a man.    :-*

But you're right, I overstepped the boundaries of "guy" movies.  At least it had the token female with large breasts who contributed nothing to the movie.   ;)

Acting and plot while nice are not essential to a guy movie. Large breasted woman are also notr essential but nicer than acting and plots.

BTW in this one instance jason Bateman gets pass,  for the scene in the apartment building when he's about to star in the Al Queda home video.

I'm really shocked that no one has mentioned Die Hard. I even liked Die Hard with a Vengeance.

I may also catch a little flack for this one, but I would say Marley and Me. It won't have explosions or car chases, but it is a pretty good movie about man's best friend. A must for a dog lover.
Please take the above with a grain of salt.

Star Trek: Wrath of Kahn.  Any of the new Transformer movies as well.  I like it when a giant robot fights another giant robot.

Full Metal Jacket, at least the first half.

Pearl Harbour  :o Fast forward to the Japanese attack and when that scene is done turn the movie off!

Near Dark, one of my favourite vampire movies!

Lock, stock, and two smoking barrels. Before Guy Ritchie started making movies for pussies.

300. What else needs to be said.  8)

Almost every Clint movie made, minus Bridges of Madison Country.

And maybe this one, called by one reviewer "a lousy history lesson and a surprisingly affecting love story"?

Another one we may have overlooked:

Men of Honour with Deniro and Cuba Gooding Jr. Navy Divers.....and Charlize Theron to boot as DeNiro's wife.

Heat with Pacino as a cop chasing the bank robbing Deniro - testosterone fuelled with Ashley Judd.

Really, you want to include this one? http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0064782/

I mean it's a good movie and all, but not really a "guy movie" unless there's something you'd like to share.  8)

Jim Agree on both choices, mid hard to go wrong with Deniro.

...ooooo...almost forgot..

Pulp Fiction. Samuel L. Jackson in his badass best, and the triumphant return of John Travolta.

It's a classic movie alright, not sure it meets the criteria here though...... no wait a 40mm Bofors gets blowed up real good so yeah it does. Plus a squaddie gets laid while on sentry duty.
