To me, Emily Blunt was a girl actress in her The Devil Wears Prada era but she is definitely a boy actress now (hello Oppenheimer). I blame John Krasinski for the shift tbh
LOLOL omg what an amazing list. So many surprises. So much boy-related hilarity.
I don't 100% know about Eminem but am going to hazard a guess -- which is maybe peak boy -- but he's from Michigan and I'm from Michigan, so I feel entitled i guess. Anyway .. he didn't show up when Lose Yourself was up for an Oscar -- I guess because he's Eminem and too cool for the stuffy awards circuit -- so this was a full circle kind of moment. I take it as a sign of maturity and not an attempt to hold onto what cultural cred he still has.
THANKS ERIC!!! well now i just want to know what finally made him decide he wasn't too good for the oscars... or maybe i don't want to know. i will forever treasure the cut to scorsese looking pained during that performance though
I read this beautiful substack always thinking about where I really land on the Boy spectrum, believing my self-awareness is a strength, and then I was on a flight last weekend... I woke up 45 minutes prior to landing, scrolled the in-flight movies to land on Ford V. Ferrari, jumped to the start of the Le Mans race, and my ass watched that shit with only subtitles. Consider myself seen lmao!
Never feel bad about taking time away when you continue to create gold like this!! Incredible, mind-altering work, Allison. I've got some self-reflecting to do over here in Boy World...
oh my god i was at the beach all day yesterday so i’m late to this and i cannot believe it’s such an important piece of work !! (also my stickers came and i love them(
I’m so against tiny mic content but I DO NEED a Boy Movies series in the style of Boy Room (sorry) that is you talking to boys at the movies! Boy Movies at Metrograph! Boy Movies at AMC Lincoln Square! Boy Movies at the laptop in a random NYU dorm!
one of my fav jokes on scream queens was when chad radwell (still glen powells best work) and nick jonas would repeatedly talk abt michael bay movies and then all of the chanels would ask them who michael bay was
i have never seen scream queens but wow... little did they know michael bay would someday become one of the most decorated figures on the boy movies 100 best boy movies list...

this is exactly it!!! a rare case of girl actress turned boy actress
The family clicks on my Netflix recommendations and says " oh, more car chases and guns " :) Glad to find comfort in this list. Brilliant!
thanks for reading!!!

YAYYYYYY!!! 🫶 boy movies will always be here waiting for you!
I love all these movies, especially the movie of Fincher character assassinating Ben Affleck. I think it's a joke, but I'm not sure!
it’s all incredibly serious… as you know i am a VERY serious person!!!!!
Oh, I mean Fincher calling Affleck unprofessional! You’re very professional.
i would absolutely wear the yankees hat!

omg i am also against tiny mic content but can you imagine the gold i would mine from that..... should've started at the uncut gems imax re-release!!!
Happy birthday in advance! Ferris Bueller’s Day Off deserves a honorable mention or The Boys (Amazon Prime) too. This is a fun read, thank you.
thank you!!! <3

“One Direction’s Best Song Ever music video which sadly did not make this list” now why would a classic of girl cinema make the boy movies list 🧐
his name is liam payne...
[liam in the best song ever video voice] and he is per! fect!
Two types of cars... I giggled
only a boy movie would dare to have two types of cars...
Your magnum opus, imo. Thank you
thank YOU <3
ben affleck matt damon oscar speech.......so true
they were literally just two young guys
HIGH FIDELITY was pretty damn boy.
If more than five people saw it, BELLFLOWER would be considered more boy than Pappy Boyington.
No Berlin Alexanderplatz. Interesting
JUST missed the cut!
🥲
