I did however like their list of the 50 hottest sportswomen.

That not the highest praise one could offer, but it's an indicator that the list isn't full of suck. There's plentiful entertainment to be had from watching this list.
I also find it difficult to believe that so many of you have seen so few of the films, considering just how popular many of them are. HTF elitism? Or does the wife choose the films that you watch? Brad |
| No I like MAN movies, now if they retitled the list to 50 Movies all guys with small nuts should see before they die I might agree with that. BTW not a knock on those that have seen these movies but the majority do not fit the movies I would think with the title of this thread |

Granted, my definition of guy's movies means that you generally, but not always, have to check your brain at the door and just enjoy a good time.

I guess someone needs to define what makes a movie a "guy movie". |

Fidelity to the source should always be the goal for Blu-ray releases.
