The folks of Esquire magazine have come up with a list of the 75 Movies Every Man Should See. Now I’m a movie buff, but as I look through this list, I’m not agreeing with all their picks. I’d like to know what their formula was, other than the obvious that they should appeal to men. Here’s the list, along with my ‘YEA’ or ‘NAY’. See which ones you agree with. Here’s the link to see the movie posters of each of these films: http://www.esquire.com/entertainment/movies/g226/best-movies-ever-0609/?src=arb_fb_d&mag=esq&dom=fb
