Chick Flicks

<p>OK…as a addendum to the “tear jerker” thread, let’s list some chick flicks…you know…those movies your husband wouldn’t be caught DEAD at…but that you are DYING to see.</p>

<p>Julia/Juliet (was that the name of it…the movie about Julia Child with Meryl Streep?)</p>

<p>Eat Pray Love</p>

<p>This may not qualify as H wanted to see it too, but it is probably the funniest chick-type flick ever: Bridesmaids. See it with your girlfriends. You will laugh til it hurts :)</p>

<p>How to Lose a Guy in Ten Days</p>

<p>Maid of Honor</p>

<p>27 Dresses</p>

<p>The Devil Wears Prada</p>

<p>While You Were Sleeping</p>

<p>The First Wives Club</p>

<p>Jerry Maguire</p>

<p>My Best Friends Wedding</p>

<p>Notting Hill</p>

<p>Runaway Bride</p>

<p>What Women Want</p>

<p>Divine Secret’s of the Ya-Ya Sisterhood</p>

<p>Pretty Woman</p>

<p>The Proposal</p>

<p>^I’ll have what she’s having.</p>

<p>Plus my fave to watch when my chick was young: Parent Trap</p>

<p>The problem here is H likes all of those movies, and he also likes shoot them and kill them movies too.</p>

<p>Legally Blonde, which I’ve watched more than ten times since they show it on TV frequently.</p>

<p>Movies DH will not watch? He’ll watch pretty much anything, but he drew the line at Sex and the City, because… “it is a movie about shopping”. Frankly, I could not watch that movie either, so I was glad that we switched the channel.</p>

<p>Movies I have no desire to watch because they are chick flicks - Steel Magnolias, Fever Pitch.</p>

<p>blueiguana - while Tom Cruise acts a bit like a chick, it has football so I don’t cou nt it as chick.</p>

<p>oldfort…I like some of those movies, but if your husband likes all of them, I need to have a chat with him!!!</p>

<p>“Men Don’t Leave,” a 1990 Jessica Lange film that they used to play a lot on TV. </p>

<p>Is Ang Lee’s superb “Sense and Sensibility” with Emma Thompson a chick flick?</p>

<p>Well not ones I am dying to see, but a few of my favorites:
While You Were Sleeping
Bull Durham
The Philadelphia Story
Dirty Dancing</p>

<p>and one of D’s favorites- Sweet Home Alabama</p>

<p>@ geo1113 - Jerry Macguire has football in it, and Tom Cruise (but before couch jumping so I overlook that), but it has one of the all time great chick-flick movie lines. Who doesn’t know “You had me at hello”? C’mon! That’s classic!!</p>

<p>I do have to admit that Bluedad watches all these movies with me…repeatedly. I think it’s only fair as I’m the only girl in the house and I watch all the shoot em’ up flicks with the guys.</p>

<p>edit to note: ^ Kinder, I love Sweet Home Alabama! Great movie! :slight_smile: Felony Melanie!!</p>

<p>Can’t argue the line, blueiguana. Speaking of blueiguana, I just realized who is in Steel Magnolias…I may have to watch it…with the sound off!!!</p>

<p>Pride and Prejudice
Love Actually</p>

<p>You’ve Got Mail
Just Like Heaven
9 to 5</p>

<p>Working Girl
Thelma and Louise (The ultimate angry girl chick flick???)
An Officer and a Gentleman (actually…pretty much any movie with Richard Gere!)</p>

<p>LOVE Working Girl. Though now I always cry at the opening montage as the camera passes over the twin towers.</p>

<p>Sleepless in Seattle. (and just about anything with Meg Ryan in it!)</p>

<p>The Bodyguard.</p>

<p>Mystic Pizza. </p>

<p>Pretty Woman.</p>

<p>PS - I hated Eat Pray Love, the movie! I was on a long flight back from Asia or Africa and there werent many other choices. I really didn’t care what happened to Julia</p>

<p>Does Bring On qualify? It’s one of my guilty pleasures,</p>

<p>Doc Hollywood</p>

<p>Overboard</p>

<p>A Walk in the Clouds</p>

<p>Twister</p>

<p>IQ- love, love IQ</p>
