Some things bear looking at more closely in my post about the top 100 Guy Movies.
1. Guys feel the need to codify their special club. In the past there were gentlemen's clubs, secret societies, and coming of age rituals. Now we have the Bro Code, fraternities, and boy scouts. Any female version always comes after and imitates these guy clubs. But I don't think girls have such a strong drive to codify their gender. (Maybe they do, but sexism has squelched it over the centuries?) The idea of becoming a man by accomplishing a list of tasks or having a list of traits is one that will probably stick around a while longer.
2. Post-Its are the best way to order a list of items.
3. Going by number of appearances on the list, Harrison Ford is the most manly, followed by Brad Pitt.
4.We really have Clint Eastwood and Paul Newman to thank for this genre.
5. Very few sequels are as good or better than the original, and most of those have Harrison Ford.
6. Want to keep a group of guys busy? Give them Post-Its and something needing hierarchy.
7. Waiting to publish a post until after you upload pics makes for a very after-the-fact post.
