There is no verified copy of TheThings’ “Here Are The 20 Best Guy Movies Of All Time” available here, so its 20 picks and their order cannot be confirmed. Rather than substitute another publisher’s choices, this guide explains what “guy movie” usually signals and how to assess a list using that label.
What does “guy movie” mean?
“Guy movie” is an informal editorial label, not a formal film genre or a rule about who can enjoy a film. A separate Ranker collection uses it for movies associated with action, grit, memorable characters, camaraderie, honor, redemption and difficult odds. Those are that collection’s framing—not confirmed criteria from TheThings.

The label can describe a mix of genres and viewing moods: an action story built around loyalty, a gritty drama about redemption, or a film whose characters face high-stakes challenges together. It does not mean that these stories are only for men.
Are TheThings’ 20 selections confirmed?
No. A forum post mentions TheThings’ article by title but does not reproduce its entries. The available evidence therefore does not establish which films TheThings selected, how it ranked them, or why. Naming a definitive top 20—or presenting another publisher’s lineup as TheThings’ list—would be misleading.

If the original entries are available, useful ways to compare them include genre or mood, intensity of action, emphasis on character, and themes such as loyalty, honor or redemption. These are practical ways to read the label, not a reconstruction of TheThings’ editorial method.
What does a separate crowd-ranked list show?
Ranker maintains a different collection under a similar “guy movies” framing. Its page names Die Hard and displayed an update date of September 24, 2026, along with 10.8K voters and 201.2K votes. Those figures describe participation in Ranker’s list only; they are not statistics about TheThings’ article or movie audiences generally.
Ranker’s collection can offer context for how one publisher uses the phrase, but it cannot establish TheThings’ selections or ranking. The two lists should not be treated as interchangeable.
How to use the label without taking it literally
- Look at the actual film: genre, characters, stakes and themes tell you more than the label alone.
- Read “guy” as editorial shorthand: it signals a particular framing, not a restriction on the audience.
- Check whose list you are reading: a crowd-ranked collection and a publisher’s editorial article are different sources with different selection methods.
Can this identify a particular edition or where to watch?
No. The mention of Die Hard in Ranker’s separate list makes “Die Hard Blu-ray” a plausible physical-media search, but it does not confirm a particular edition, current stock, price or listing. The available information also does not establish current streaming availability for any film discussed here.
