Is there a dress code for the matinee vs night for men. For example if we are going to museums all morning and then taking kids to a matinee, can men wear casual shorts and a polo shirt?

The Times' Elvis Mitchell writes "."

Men's Journal has a list of the 50 "Best Movies For Guys," and they have the top ten online. Executive editor Mark Horowitz tells the Post, "True guy movies don't like to hit you over the head with their message. They just like to hit you over the head."
