What's Your Favorite Chick Flick!

[Paisley]

"Return to Me" has an old school flavor, though it's a fairly recent movie. David Duchovny dates a woman who has had a heart transplant. Then it gets complicated.

"Memoirs of a Geisha" made me and my best friend cry out loud (well, almost). It's nearly as good as the book. The title makes it sound racier than it is.

The Wedding Singer... so good, I'm watching it right now.

Is Somewhere in Time a chick flick? If so, then that's my favorite.
My dad called the classic ones 'women's pictures', like Kitty Foyle. Many men liked them too, so I am as usual confused. Thinking too hard on this.

I gotta admit it....

I actually like "Fried Green Tomatoes"! I think that is a really good story. And, what was in that bbq??!!!!

P.S. I just saw a film called "Dear Frankie", filmed in Scotland that was pretty darned good too. I recommend that as a 'chick flick'!

Like Water for Chocolate - an absolute great film.

Ooh yes! I've seen that a few times, once for a class even. So great, it always makes me hungry though.

Don't know if they are "chick flicks" but I really like 10 things I hate about you and clueless. "Lucy, you know I don't speak Mexican", THAT is funny!

 

[Lincsong]

Shag, only because Phoebe Cates is a bodacious babe.

 

[Daisy Buchanan]

Oh, I LOVE The Wedding Singer!

I third that!! Although it's been on one of the movie channels every day, twice a day this week, and I'm a bit burned out!

OMG, I absolutely Loved "Clueless"! When that came out I tried so hard to dress just like her, you know the plaid mini-skirts and the knee socks. Gosh was my Mom so glad when that phase ended. Even scarier, was I was a college student trying to emulate a high-schooler But, she was very mature for her age

Rosie, you mention a bunch of great movies. I totally saw "She's all That" in the theater, but I swear a friend dragged me!! It was school vacation week too, so the theater was filled with teeny boppers. I should have known by the kids filling the theater that this might have been a film I should have just waited to come out on DVD!
I think I'm gonna have to add some of those to my DVD want list!

Yay! at least I'm not alonelol It makes me cry no matter how often I see it.

I also love Ten things I hate about you, that one's hilarious

 

[Elaina]

lol I dressed like Clueless until the movie came out. To me it was about 60's mod stuff. Then it was just UGH someone else stole my look.

I watched 'The Lake House' on HBO last night. I got so confused at the time difference-thing that it gave me a headache.

 

[ShooShooBaby]

has no one mentioned Romy and Michelle's High School Reunion yet?? i think i have that movie MEMORIZED. everyone in it gives such a great performance and i laugh so much every time i watch it. great soundtrack too!

 

[Quigley Brown]

Anyone seen 'Next Stop Wonderland?' Anything with Hope Davis and Philip Seymour Hoffman is fine in my book. Filmed in Boston...can any of you Bostonians tell me how the place got the name Wonderland?

 

[Not-Bogart13]

Wasn't the book wonderful? When I wrote the film last night I thought of taking the book off the shelf for another read.

I encountered it in college. The class was "From Fiction to Film". I thought I'd hate it. Boy, was I wrong! :eusa_doh:
