If Films For Young Women Are Called ‘Chick Flicks’ Shouldn’t Films For Young Men Be Called ...?

Question

I’ll give you a hint. It’s a four letter word that rhymes with chick. The first letter in the word is d and the last letter is k. Don’t you think this would be a more appropriate genre title that ‘action’ film?

Think about it: Most films aimed at young men have the same basic characters. Young twenty-something dudes bonding with other twenty-something dudes, running away from or fighting bad dudes. Young dudes running around bare chested half the time, doing things the young dudes in the audience wish they were doing. Kicking and hitting and biting and fighting, with an audience full of young twenty-something dudes watching them.

If I remember right, when I was in my twenties I was much more interested in seeing young women than I was in watching other young dudes. So what’s going on with these young dudes?

Action Films? Or Surpressed Tendencies Films?

(Disclaimer: Don't take this question seriously. It's a joke set-up to rhyme the word chick with another word.)

Answer 1

This is too funny. I totally love it and intend to use it the next time I'm dragged to one of these movies.

Answer 2

LOL...I LOVE the new term, and I plan to start using it at once. I always found it odd that any movie with more than one female character is instantly dismissed as a "chick flick", when there are many, many examples of the guy equivalent - the, uh, "ick" flick. Thanks for the great term.

Answer 3

there's never been a formal term for that. i guess we can call it "a guy movie".

dick flicks? but it sounds more of an adult oriented movie.

boy movies.

yuppie flicks. that's the closest that i can think of that doesn't sound so vulgar.

Answer 4

dude food?
guy pie ?
doobie moovie ?

Answer 5

Duck? Dusk? Dank? What is this D**K word?
