TOP 10 LIST:

The Academy Awards are this Sunday... Seth MacFarlane is the host. Not all Oscar winning movies are tear jerkers for the chicks... some guy flicks win too.

TOP 10: OSCAR WINNING GUY MOVIES

1) Patton - The music alone in this Oscar-winning guy movie, done by Jerry Goldsmith, exemplifies what a guy flick is all about. (7 Oscars)
2) Rocky - The appeal to guys is that Rocky is a true underdog story. Often times, people are dealt a bad hand in life, but then later overcome obstacles to achieve greatness. (3 Oscars)
3) The Bridge on the River Kwai - This Oscar-winning guy movie is fiction, but it uses the construction of the Burma Railway in 1942 as the historical setting. (7 Oscars)
4) The French Connection - The story line follows two New York City police officers trying to intercept a drug shipment on its way from France. (1st R-Rated Best Picture Oscar)
5) Platoon - Platoon is often mentioned as the greatest war film ever made, along with Full Metal Jacket. (4 Oscars including Best Picture)
6) Unforgiven - What makes this an Oscar-winning guy movie is the harshness of the Old West, where anything goes and you can take justice into your own hands. (3 Oscars including Best Picture)
7) Gladiator - Gladiator doesn't disappoint, and does violence and fighting in an epic fashion. (5 Oscars including Best Picture)
8) The Departed -  The movie takes place in Boston, where Irish mob bosses clash when personalities collide. (4 Oscars including Best Motion Picture of the Year)
9) Braveheart - Nothing says “guy movie” like jousting matches with thousands of people on horses using sharp objects, without the convenience of modern medical attention. (5 Oscars plus 5 Nominations)
10) The Godfather - one of the most epic, celebrated and quoted movies of modern times. The Godfather is one of the most recognizable Oscar-winning guy movies of all time (3 Oscars)
