<p>Thanks for starting this thread, Thumper! 
Between this one & the other one, I’ll have plenty of movie choices now!</p>
<p>Not a chick, wrong gender, but I do like Where the Heart Is and always watch it when I come across it on TV. Natalie Portman is a cutie-pie. I thought she was wasted in Thor. Bad lines and uninteresting character led to bad acting.</p>
<p>This is great! I need a few suggestions for some light hearted movies.
I loved “A Walk in the Clouds”!<br>
Another favorite “L.A. Story” (old one with Steve Martin)</p>
<p>The Notebook!</p>
<p>Spanglish (Yes, Adam Sandler is in it, but it is not "an Adam Sandler movie.)</p>
<p>Spanglish - I fell madly in love with Paz Vega!</p>
<p>Married to a man who also likes chick flicks. Like all the ones previously listed, plus:</p>
<p>Muriel’s Wedding (this is a bit of a dark chick flick but it has Abba!)
Bridget Jones’ Diary
Sleeping in Seattle
My Best Friend’s Wedding</p>
<p>“Sleeping” in Seattle? (I think you might have meant the previously mentioned "Sleepless in Seattle!)</p>
<p>What Women Want
The Ugly Truth
The Wedding Planner
Maid in Manhattan</p>
<p>I’m lucky enough to have a mother, father, and brother who all love and own romantic comedies. I just hope I find a man who loves them as much as my family and me!!!</p>
<p>When Harry Met Sally
50 First Dates</p>
<p>10 Things I Hate About You
Easy A</p>
<p>I (a male) like most of these movies, with the notable exceptions of Eat Pray Love and Sex and the City II, both of which were completely unwatchable, by man or woman.</p>
<p>I am reminded of a conversation I had with my kids a little more than 10 years ago, when they were 14 and 11 (or so). We were watching TV, and an ad came on for Save The Last Dance (a teen hip-hop/ballet chick flick with Julia Stiles). My 11-year-old son said, “That looks good.” His older sister objected: “How can you think that looks good? That movie is for girls. You’re a guy. You’re not supposed to like that movie.” I intervened: “Why wouldn’t [S] like that movie? It has cool-looking dancing and a cool-looking girl. He likes cool-looking dancing, and he likes cool-looking girls. What’s not to like?” Daughter (to her brother, outraged): “Is that true. You like cool-looking girls?” Son: “Uh, yeah. Of course I do.”</p>
<p>But this is a kid who was so in awe of his sister, he thought every boy should be prepared to discuss the comparative merits of John Hughes’ Molly Ringwald films, or seasons of Buffy The Vampire Slayer. His chick-flick literacy has served him very well in the dating arena over the years, too.</p>
<p>That’s funny, JHS! I also have a S who has an older sister - and being conversant in “girl stuff” has come in handy for him.</p>
<p>Thanks for the list of movies to avoid.</p>
<p>Roman Holiday</p>
<p>Ever After</p>
<p>Bride and Prejudice</p>
<p>To be honest, JHS, I am a chick and I also hated Eat Pray Love. I did not watch Sex and the City II, due to its horrible reviews. (I loved Sex and the City series on TV, though.) And my husband has watched (and liked) a lot of these “chick flicks” with me! (He is not as crazy about Pride and Prejudice as I am, though.)</p>
<p>500 Days of summer. The anti-chick flick</p>
<p>This thread reminds me of when my boyfriend ( now H) accompanied me to see * Tess<a href=“all%203+%20hours%20of%20it”>/i</a>
His eyes were so glazed by the time it was over, I had to drive home!</p>
<p>I also hated Eat, Pray, Love…but my husband would have hated it more.</p>
<p>Whatever4, my father ADORES the classic BBC Pride and Prejudice. He loved the book, too, but I can’t tell you how many times we’ve stumbled across a re-airing and were frozen to the spot for the next 4 hours. We’re biting our fingernails and talking to the TV every time!</p>
