plenzmd1 Posted January 18, 2009 Posted January 18, 2009 No way is the Princess Bride a chick flick. Agreed, not even close to a chick flick. I do like Legally Blonde though. mean Girls i thought was great movie, along with Heathers, not sure if they are chick flicks though.
ricojes Posted January 18, 2009 Posted January 18, 2009 My wife and I have a tradition of alternating selections when we go to the movies. She will almost always select a drippy, chick flick (Although one time she chose "Gladiator" believing it was a love story ever since, I have "owed" her). I feel it is my duty to all men to whine and complain about her choices. However, once and a while they are pretty good movies. I have to admit that "Something's Gotta Give" is mine. I laughed my arze off. So men of the TSW what is your favorite "chick flick?" (Ladies - what is your favorite "guy movie?") Want to know how I know you're gay? You want to know the signs that other guys might be gay.... --The 40 Year Old Virgin - Not a chick flick, but a great movie. By the way, Man'ing up and admitting your favorite chick flick is an oxymoron...
WVUFootball29 Posted January 18, 2009 Posted January 18, 2009 Eh, I'll go with the Sweetest Thing. Don't know why, but I find that movie to be really really funny.
IDBillzFan Posted January 18, 2009 Posted January 18, 2009 Have to admit liking "How To Lose A Guy In 10 Days," in part because I think Kate Hudson is awesome. Caught it on a plane, and ended up making wifey rent it. Another one is "What Women Want," but a lot of that has to do with all the great Sinatra played during the movie. Not sure if "Kramer Vs. Kramer" counts, but it was a phenomenal flick.
Philly McButterpants Posted January 18, 2009 Posted January 18, 2009 One additional vote each for When Harry Met Sally and The Devil Wears Prada - Anne Hathaway . . .yum!
Corp000085 Posted January 18, 2009 Posted January 18, 2009 I have never seen this one. Paul Newman and Orsen Wells are in it. It's good.
The Poojer Posted January 18, 2009 Posted January 18, 2009 please turn your man card into SDS. thank you. . . .yum!
rockpile Posted January 18, 2009 Posted January 18, 2009 City of Angels Under the Tuscan Sun Chocolat I like a good story.

Kramer" counts, but it was a phenomenal flick. When Kramer vs Kramer came out, I was single parenting my three year old daughter, working on divorcing my absentee POS legal spouse "in absentia" and praying she did not return and fight for "legal" custody. Great movie when it can make you HATE a character. I kept my daughter and it was never contested.
Bmwolf21 Posted January 18, 2009 Posted January 18, 2009 Sweet Home Alabama,Knocked Up (if it counts) and The Wedding Singer.... My wife just blurted out Princess Bride too..... Have to admit liking "How To Lose A Guy In 10 Days," in part because I think Kate Hudson is awesome. Caught it on a plane, and ended up making wifey rent it. Another one is "What Women Want," but a lot of that has to do with all the great Sinatra played during the movie. Fools Rush In. I'll admit to any and or all of these, although a couple are (as has already been established) not chick flicks.
Miyagi-Do Karate Posted January 18, 2009 Posted January 18, 2009 Is something wrong with me if I think nearly all the movies listed so far are great? I'll add "While You Were Sleeping," which I easily justify as a "holiday movie." (Same goes for "The Holiday.").
Acantha Posted January 18, 2009 Posted January 18, 2009 Is something wrong with me if I think nearly all the movies listed so far are great? I don't think so. I"m the same way. As long as there's a good story, I like romance flicks. It's the movies that have basically no plot whatsoever other than "I am woman, here's my estrogen" that I have no interest in. Movies like Steal Magnolias or Sex in the City, countless others. Occasionally one of those will come out made well enough to keep my interest. I thought Fried Green Tomatoes was very well done. Thelma and Louise came close, so I can see others thinking it was alright, but it wasn't for me.
Acantha Posted January 18, 2009 Posted January 18, 2009 Does Groundhog Day count? Personally I'd say no,just because only the last 15 minutes of that were "girly". Outside of that it was just a comedy, and a fairly "guy" comedy at that.
