I can put up a long list of chick flicks I watched when I was young, but I haven't watched one in awhile except for Letters to Juliet. (I think this is the last one I saw)I actually didn't want to watch it initially because I thought it was just another teen cutesy movie, but I liked the composition of the letters made, especially the last one that was read during the wedding reception. I thought it was poetic in a way that was not entirely cheesy. :)

white Palace. Definitely for chicks - and for men who love Susan Sarandon.

If it hasn't already been mentioned. The Accidental Husband. Apparently a straight to DVD one, but cute and funny.

Ancient 90s fodder with Steve Guttenberg: Don't Tell Her It's Me. I think they call it the 'Boyfriend School' now. Just the scene with the sex counselor is worth watching it.

i cannot let the holiday pass. Terrible, truly terrible film. Written so over the top in a way to make caricatures out of the men, I was embarassed for Jack black and Ed Burns both, usually good actors. So Phony! Yuck! There are good chick flicks of course, who mentioned 2 weeks notice was fun. The dead architect version with sandra bullock was not fun for the dead architect. chick flicks are supposed to inspire chicks! you need quality and a happy ending. the Princess Bride looks good to me, if i was a chick that would be my choice. Also, good call on last of the mohicans, he kills the bad guy and saves the girls and runs, runs, runs, lots of high enery running

harold and maude is a classic if you are an 80 year old woman who wants a 18 year old boyfriend. it scares most men silly.

Ancient 90s fodder with Steve Guttenberg: Reminds me of a great Steve Guttenberg movie fro 1987 called Bedroom Window. Very Hitchcockian and tense. Couldn't recommend any higher.

Unless you are a card carrying member of the Dorothy Regime, all you have is a man's opinion on what you think a 'chick flick' is. The point of a 'Chick Flick' is to make women feel good about themselves, fictional, unrealistic as it may seem. If I want inspiration, I'll watch 'Million Dollar Baby' or 'Erin Brockovich'. BTW PRINCESS BRIDE!!! Definitely a chick flick about love being all powerful, but hardly inspiring. Unless you count being inspired to quote the movie: HELLO.MY NAME IS INDIGO MONTOYA. YOU KILLED MY FATHER. PREPARE TO DIE.
