Chick flicks you'll admit to liking
A few off the top of my head that I can say I like are: Serendipity- I actually really like this one and dig the soundtrack Pretty Women Ghost Revenge with Kevin Costner The Holiday Sleepless In Seattle Last edited by DoubleD; 12-19-2011 at 11:36 PM. Reason: thought of a couple more |

Re: Chick flicks you'll admit to liking
I'm not sure if this one really counts as a chick flick, but I really like 50 First Dates (that Adam Sandler romantic comedy type movie), I watch it any time it's on TV.

Re: Chick flicks you'll admit to liking
I don't want for this to come out mean - but you shouldn't be ashamed. At all.
I used to run a video store, and I'd get these guy/bro/dude/schmucks coming in and bitching about how their girlfriend forces them to watch "chick flicks" - I'd tell them that there's no such thing as "chick flicks" or "guy flicks" - just GOOD FLICKS and BAD FLICKS. At the same time, I used to ask girls who would ***** about a guy, "So...do you sleep with this dude? 'Cause if you're doing THAT...and he can't watch the movie you wanna' watch for ninety minutes...how selfish is he? Maybe you should find someone who's a little more secure in his masculinity...?" Guys would complain about The Notebook. Idiots. I'd be like - "Uhh...yeah, it totally sucks that you have to watch Rachel McAdams strip down to her underwear and pant a bunch...and by no means would sitting through that and pretending it was poignant get you laid - how stupid are you?" They'd be like "Dude...I never thought about it that way!" Granted, I think Pretty Woman is horrifying and awful (it is a documented fact that teenage runaways spiked after that movie came out - girls actually thought that leaving home and turning tricks was a sure-fire way to snare the man of their dreams) - and Revenge is a thriller, not a romance, but there's nothing wrong with watching a romance or a romantic comedy - if it's an actual good movie. Here are some titles from my collection that are definitely worth checking out: 100 Girls All the Real Girls Bring it On Cashback The Dreamers Josie and the Pussycats LA Story Love Actually Nobody's Fool The Notebook Notting Hill Once The Philadelphia Story Playing by Heart Secretary St. Trinians The Whole Wide World |

Re: Chick flicks you'll admit to liking
As a woman, I hate, hate, HATE 99% of chick flicks. I generally avoid them like the plague, but there ARE some that I enjoy.
The Terminator (Sorry guys, take away the explosions, and it becomes a fairly sappy romance) The Princess Bride Ever After The Adjustment Bureau (another one that is, at essence, a romance) |

Re: Chick flicks you'll admit to liking
You kidding me? Half the time I suggest them. If it's a good film, we watch it. "who it was marketed to" does not enter into the mix AT ALL with us.
Funny side note - we just saw Young Adult (excellent film, by the way - a glorious character study of an awful human being) and the trailer for TITANIC 3D rolled. My wife said "I have never see it. I don't care to see it. I will NEVER see it". I asked why and she said something about pandering to women and eff this and sonofa that. Apparently she is now making "I'm the only person who has not seen Titanic" into a merit badge. Kind of like my not having seen Avatar. |

Cold Comfort Farm.
Because sometimes you need to see something nasty in the woodshed. Heavenly Creatures Because sometimes you need to see a surrealistic love/murder story. Sirens Because sometimes you need to see a tremendous amount of nudity. |

The Princess Bride is not a Chick Flick. It's badass.

Re: Chick flicks you'll admit to liking
I'm not exactly sure what constitutes a chick flick, unless you mean no combat, no explosions, and no alien invasions or monsters. If it's simply a movie marketed toward women, I think "Pirates of the Caribbean" should count. Johnny Depp, Orlando Bloom...
![]() I have seen very few of the movies mentioned in this thread, and liked some of them. Most of the ones I liked, I never considered to be "chick flicks," especially the musicals and Disney films. I also agree that "Princess Bride" doesn't count - it's a fairy tale/fantasy. I'll add to the list of what I do think counts - Dirty Dancing. |
