Just re-emphasising and adding a few...
Saving Private Ryan - how is the greatest war movie of recent history not on this list.
Top Gun
Hangover
Old School
Fight Club
Matrix
Top Gun is a chick flick in disguise. Most Tom Cruise movies are. Swingers too. More ladies liked that flick than guys.
Just because there is a love tie-in, it doesn't make it any less of a man movie. Flying planes, dog fights, death, huge guitar solo songs, and all around bromance = total dude movie.

I'm slowly building up a movie library for myself. Today's TV just sucks.
Help me with some great guy movies to have on hand. Its always fun to pull a good old movie out to watch that you haven't seen in awhile.
1. Star Wars series
2. Star Trek series
3. Hunt for Red October
4. Braveheart
5. Taken
6. Eraser
7. Heartbreak Ridge
8. Dirty Harry
9. Terminator
10. Road Warrior
11. The Patriot
12. Dances With Wolves
13. Terminator 2
14. I Am Legend
Any more?
You are missing:
1. The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly (best western ever made)
2. The Outlaw Josey Wales (the second best western ever made)
3. Blazing Saddles (the best western comedy ever made)
4. Death Hunt (Lee Marvin and Carl Weathers hunt Charles Bronson through the Yukon)
5. The Survivors (Walter Matthau helps Robin Williams cope through the early '80s recession while trying to keep Jerry Reed from killing them. I kid you not.)
6. Animal House (Memorize this movie and the next, and you'll have a quote for every occasion.)
7. Young Frankenstein (second most quotable movie of all time)
8. Ghostbusters (third most quotable movie of all time)
9. Conan the Barbarian (Crush your enemies, see them driven before you, and hear the lamentation of their women.)
10. Predator (Ahnuld, a future Minnesota governor, and a future Tennessee Congressman fight an alien hunter in the Central American rainforest. If we could only get Carl Weathers elected to public office....)
11. ALIENS (Best cat fight ever.)
12. Flash Gordon (Best bad movie ever.)
13. Gran Torino (the grandpa you always wanted)
14. Unforgiven (third best western ever made)
15. JAWS (an unequaled classic)
16. Scrooged ("Look, a toaster!")
17. Apocalypse Now (Best Vietnam movie ever. Get the original. The Redux is horrible.)
Guy movies that us chicks (for the most part) don't get the appeal of:
1. All the James Bond movies (yawn)
2. All the Clint Eastwood movies (except maybe Bridges of Madison County)
3. All the John Wayne movies (yawn, pardner)
4. The Three Stooges (there's a box set!)
5. All Mel Brooks movies (yes Blazing Saddles, History of the World, Young Frankenstein, etc were funny when I was like 15, but now they are kind of juvenile and I might only chuckle at a few scenes, but guys LOVE them and love to quote them)
6. Brian's Song (as a chick I'll cry at lots of movies, but this one? not so much)
7. Girls Gone Wild ('cause you can tell your girlfriend/wife that it's not actual porn)
8. Say Anything (the worst 80s teen movie made, but guys my age love it, and identify with John Cusack's character, who is a total loser and doesn't deserve the girl)
9. Any martial arts movies (especially with Bruce Lee, David Carradine, or Jackie Chan)
10. Any movie with a 20-minute fight scene that does nothing to move the plot along (especially if guys are compelled to yell awwwhhh! or oooooh! whenever someone gets punched, head-butted, kicked in the testes, or has a bottle or chair broken over their head)
