Bridget Jones's Diary 

African Queen

It's interesting that a few of the posts here mention guys watching "chick flicks" too.
When my eldest was in the last year of High School, it came out that all the guys in the class watched "Saddle Club", supposedly a local "teenage girl's" TV show about a riding school!

In my circles Princess bride was heavily quoted by both men and woman. If fact the new young guy here at work got hammered on when the group found he had never seen the princess bride. Why? Cause they were quoting it and he didn't understand the references.

My 24 year old son has said many times Princess Bride screwed up any chance he'll ever have a real relationship.  He said he grew up watching Princess Bride so many times (my fault!) he thought this is how romance is supposed to be.  Needless to say, he's been disappointed more than once.

In the event Buttercup and Wesley divorced, I'm sure I can find a proper suitor for Buttercup.   

For newer movies, I just saw It's Complicated which I enjoyed. Love Meryl Streep!!

Gentlemen Perfer Blondes.

But my current new favorite is 'Mean Girls' I can quote that movie from start to finish.

If I flick a chick with or without a bic, does that count?

Kate and Leopold - just enough sci-fi geekery to temper the saccharine sweetness.

Sounds intriguing, now I shall have to watch it.

Has Hugh Jackman and Liev Schreiber in it too 

sorry, I don't know actors, never really cared. I only cared how well they portrayed who they were trying to show.

I watched Two Weeks Notice this afternoon.  It wasn't my fave ever by any means, but it had all the right elements that I want from these types of movies, right up to giving me happy tears at the end .

No love for A League of Their Own?  Geena Davis was awesome, and its the best role either Madonna or Rosie ever had.

But if you ever get fed up with love, there's always Whose Afraid of Virginia Wolfe.  The movie that makes you think that staying single for the rest of your life would be a damn fine idea.

Haha I actually heard my dad watching  A League of Their Own earlier, must have been on tv though as I don't believe we own it. I've seen it quite a few times, even from when I was really young. We used to have it on Laser Disc... man are those things old now... 

Oh my, so many good ones. 'When Harry Met Sally', The Notebook', 'Pretty Woman' to be sure. I don't know if it's a tie or just because I have some emotionally favorite parts in each.

Love Actually.

Other than that, not sure if it counts, but I love White Christmas, I must've watched it a thousand times. Although my mom is always watching it without me with the justification "I don't think it's really Dan's sort of film". 

I have just watched "The Women" for the second time, and found things I missed the first time. Great movie.  It has to qualify as the ultimate 'chick flick' because there are NO men in it.

                                            At all! 

I never appreciated Annette Benning as an actress before, but she was great. Also Meg Ryan, Jayda Pinkett, Debra Messing, Candice Bergen, all good.

Several people mentioned "The Notebook." I found it schmaltzy and hated it.

I liked "Thelma @ Louise", "Steel Magnolias", and "The Spitfire Grill."

New to the list:

You Can Count on Me
Ponette
Sense and Sensibility
Tess
Little Miss Sunshine
Boys Don't Cry
What's Eating Gilbert Grape
The Story of Adele H.
The Music Man
Gypsy (love all versions)

Agree with others about:

Eternal Sunshine...
Princess Bride
When Harry Met Sally
The Rose
Thelma and Louise
Casablanca
Hedwig
Spitfire Grill
Amelie

The Rose, The Notebook and Mean Girls! =]

Totally! Although it made me go 'Waaaaaaaaah, I never got to be a hot teenage girl hanging with hot boys" and do the whole self-pity routine. Lots of teeny chick flicks do that to me.

Hehe this convo made me listen to the Whip It soundtrack which is also pretty hot. I dig the self-pity moment, just remember; you can always be the hot chick smashing up other chicks .
