The best part about guy movies is that it isn’t a genre. Unlike chick flicks guy movies don’t require mushy love stories and a compelling protagonist with obvious problems. Guy movies require three things: action, violence, nudity. Seriously. Humor as well of course, but we find humor in sick things such as dismembered children and elderly people falling.

Wedding Crashers

A movie that spawned memorable quotes, this is every mans dream. You have your normal 9 to 5 but when wedding season hits, you and your BFF (only your BFF will suffice) hit random weddings, looking to get/getting laid. Free alcohol, meet beautiful women, all for free? What else could you ask for? Although I will admit Vince Vaughn was good in this, I really don’t like him being typecasted as the guy who sarcastically complains about everything.

Old School

If you haven’t seen this movie, please do. Old School is the archetype that great guy movies should follow. I mean come on, Vince Vaughn (again), Will Ferrell, Luke Wilson, Jeremy Piven, titties, ass, alcohol…. need I say more? Just go see this movie and hope to God you don’t end up wondering if KFC is open later that night.

Training Day

I know the title says funny, but Training Day can’t be left off the list. There’s rarely any humor in it, save for Denzel Washington constantly ripping Ethan Hawke a new one. What makes it so awesome is that every guy who saw that movie walked out of the theatre with Alonzo’s swagger, just begging for someone to mess with them. You wanna go to jail or you wanna go home? Yeah, I thought so.

The 40 Year Old Virgin

Another great guy movie. Every guy has that one friend (virgin or not) who should just chill out and unwind, and the best way to do it is to get him really, really drunk. This movie embodies what it’s like to be a young adult/ bachelor in this day and age, and also has a good moral at the end of the story: don’t get your chest waxed. Metrosexualism is dead. It shouldn’t have been alive in the first place. It’s not a European Shoulder Bag bitch, it’s a man purse.

The Hangover

An obvious choice, this 2009 comedy left my buddies and I in stitches. Zach Galifianakis pretty much makes the movie but regardless all the debauchery and drunken antics throughout had me laughing my face off. He also made our list for movie weirdos we love. With unexpected appearances from Mike Tyson and Mike Epps, complete with Zach getting sucked off in the end by some woman in the elevator in the credits….hilarity does ensue.

Pineapple Express

A buddy comedy by writing, it kicks exorbitant amounts of ass. Extra ordinary amounts if you were baked out of your mind and saw it, which suffice to say a vast majority of us were. Seth Rogen may act like an asshole most of the movie, but the supporting cast is so outrageous and eccentric he had to be the normal one with his head on straight. James Franco played an awesome pot-head and also made our movie weirdos we love list. Copious amounts of cannabis is consumed throughout with splashes of surprisingly gruesome violence; a perfect combination.

Tropic Thunder

The first time I saw this movie I lost my mind. So over the top and agonizingly funny it has to be seen to be truly believed. Tom Cruise dancing to T-Pain, Robert Downey Jr. playing a black man. Like Old School this is another must see movie.. but then again all the movies on this list are. Tropic Thunder is no exception. More violence and hilarity in this one than most on the list.

Knocked Up

While not as funny as 40 Year Old Virgin and not as..uh, high as Pineapple Express, this film showcases every man’s worst fear with a funny spin on it. But hey, then again I could get a girl pregnant, and then go to Vegas while tripping to make sense of my life.

Superbad

The last Judd Apatow film on this list. I have no beef with the guy, but he’s saturated the market and truth be told there are better/funnier movies that have been released. I put this one on here because Seth and Evan are the basic archetype for every high school kid who isn’t a complete outcast or a complete douchebag. Reminded my friends and I of us when we were younger; underage drinking and constantly trying to get laid.

Pulp Fiction

Yes, it does say funny. But really, one of the best guy movies. It has its funny moments (if you consider Phil LaMarr accidentally getting his head blown to pieces funny) and if you aren’t a complete wet towel than you can agree. More outrageous and over the top action than pretty much all the films on the list.

Eight funny films, two un-funny but equally if not more awesome films. A man’s life isn’t all laughs; sometimes you have to be serious. Sometimes, you have to kill a sucka. But here we’d prefer if you killed them with kindness, or with your awful jokes.
