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 done in jest.)

Ah yes. You got me. I love Kung Fu movies because I wanna suck a d!ck. My mother loves romantic comedies 'cause she's a closet rug-muncher. Well done, Freud.

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.

Jest or not, I like the new term. I think it will catch on. I intend to use it. Wish I'd thought of it myself. I'll just tell people that's what they're called. Everybody calls them that. Get up to speed, man!
Thanks, Doc.

I can't say that the guys have supressed tendencies but I do like the name.

"Action movie" is the official term for that.
Unofficially, I heard people say "guy movie"
