The 75 Movies Every Man Should See

In March Esquire listed The 75 Movies Every Man Should See "Our unranked, incomplete, utterly biased list of the greatest films that have shaped American men. Find out how many you've watched, and add to your Netflix queue along the way."

As noted in the comments, there are a lot of deserving films not listed and a few on the list are questionable. And yeah, they only listed 74, not 75.
