Chart: The Season of "Man"-ly Movies

"A Single Man," Weinstein Co., 2009
The movies are typically a male-dominated medium, but things have been even more man-ly than usual lately. You can't throw a rock at the theater these days without hitting a marquee advertising a movie with the word "Man" in the title. (Not that we're encouraging you throw rocks in movie theaters, mind you. Merely a figure of speech.)
By our count, there have been at least eight different "Man"-ly movies this year, and at least one more high profile one coming in 2010. How can anyone be expected to tell any of the "men" apart, especially when so many of them wear the glossy sheen of Oscar bait? They can't, which is why we threw together this diagram to clear up any confusion and help you pick the right "Man" to suit your movie needs.
