That has to be a chick flick!

[JimmyJazz]

[Taverner]

12. hahahahahaha

[JimmyJazz]

or the flickness in the film. Try again!

[Taverner]

19. Try not so see the chickness...

Just ....SLIIIIIIIIDE......

[JimmyJazz]

23. shut up and go visit the I LOVE DONNA thread - it's much more to your

liking I'm sure. It has pictures of asses and thighs and such! Npw go, be gone with your silly self...

[Taverner]

26. "We're a nation of men, raised by women...

"...what makes you think one more will do the trick?"

-Tyler Durden

[JimmyJazz]

Corn fed and free range!

[JimmyJazz]

32. Nice of us to High Jack MY thread dammit!

[Taverner]

35. What? Hugh Jackman? I didn't see Hugh Jackman in this thread

:P

[JimmyJazz]

37. I have no response to such a thread jacker as you. I ask a perfectly

good question and yet you obsess with my ass, calves and thighs! What gives?

[Taverner]

39. Your ass, calves, thighs and Hugh Jackman

And sweaty men pummeling each other.

Am I sure I'm straight?

[JimmyJazz]

45. Uh, I hope so because aside from the sweaty men pummeling each

other - well the ass, calves and thighs belong to me! :P

[Taverner]

47. Honestly, I wonder how far we can hughjackman your thread?

[JimmyJazz]

49. go away you evil thread jacker and take your little dog with you!

[Taverner]

51. Which dog? This one?

[fujiyama]

72. Hugh Jackman was great

as Wolverine! The X-Men - Now there's a chick flick I got into!

[SarahB]

22. I love Fight Club.

No one's going to tell me a bunch of sweaty, testosteroned out hotties trying to create anarchy on America's financial epicenters isn't a chick flick. Gets my blood pumping! :D

[JimmyJazz]

41. Um, here, here! I'm not arguing with you!

:)

[Tsiyu]

53. 101er just tell the boys....

This (this)
converation (conversation)
is over (is over)


Hey, maybe * is channeling Tyler! Just thought of that!

[JimmyJazz]

55. yeah and Sal Moriarty, too. And if you get that reference,

you are officially my new best friend!

[Tsiyu]

57. Is that Kerouac

as in Dean Moriarty morphed with the conventional Sal? Or am I too out in left field? You are such a silly girl! But the guys love your ass, so who cares?

[JimmyJazz]

78. that is correct! My bad. No more wine and popcorn for dinner!

I promise. Really, I do.

[Tsiyu]

81. Ahhhhh the dinner of Champions!

Don't stop now!

[JimmyJazz]

83. And now for the breakfast of champions:

actually, I don't smoke, but I thought it added to the imagery.

[bigwillq]

2. Steel Magnolias (nt)

[donheld]

68. Steel Magnolias is my Ultimate

I've watched it many times. I'm not the crying type, but it's wonderful.

[flamingyouth]

3. "My Big Fat Greek Wedding"

[proud patriot]

5. "Fried Green Tomatoes"

I love that movie "To Wanda" :D

[Skittles]

8. mine too

an excellent movie

[salin]

7. Terms of Endearment

or, going back further, Kramer vs. Kramer

[Stargleamer]

9. Thelma and Louise

n/t

[sundog]

11. Beyond the Valley of the Dolls

[JimmyJazz]

13. you are a total mess, still!

I am growing fond of you, BTW. :)

[sundog]

16. well, I'm providing the trash entry in the contest - you have CATEGORIES

of chick flick films

[JimmyJazz]

36. You win! WTF else can I say? It doesn't get any trashier than that!

[vajraroshana]

14. Joy Luck Club

a real tear-jerker of a chick film.

[barb162]

38. oh yes, what a good movie

[Tsiyu]

17. The Color Purple is awesome

But my new fave is anything with Hugh Grant in it. "About a Boy" is great.

"I believe life is divided up into 30 minute intervals...."

[Maestro]

18. "Bull Durham"

[Maple]

20. There aren't any

'chick flicks' or 'dick flicks'

Silly attempt to divide the genders and sell em tons of stuff they don't need.

Marketing ploy is all it is. Advertising chicanery. Pink razors or blue razors...cuz you know color makes all the difference.

These days 'Gone with the wind' wouldn't have been seen by half the country.

[JimmyJazz]

24. oh stop - don't be so serious - go check out my thighs in the

I lOVE DONNA thread and then we'll talk!!!! :P

[featherman]

21. "Room With A View" - no contest

[SarahB]

25. This one I'd go with.

:thumbsup:

Julian Sands :loveya:

[sundog]

28. That's not just a chick flick! There's gratuitous frontal male nudity

Believe me I know!

[SarahB]

76. Me too!

:7

Of course, it's not just chicks who like ___s. And some chicks don't.

[HEyHEY]

29. Captain Corellis mandolin or walk in the clouds

[JimmyJazz]

30. I knew I liked you for a reason - a walk in the clouds is soooo

sweet! A lot on the hokey side, but soooo sweet!

[HEyHEY]

33. And who wouldn't like to live that life?

It's good all around! :-)

[NuttyFluffers]

34. 10 Things I Hate About You

might be a bit more teenage romance than full on chick flick.

if that's the case then i go with Legally Blonde series or The Sound of Music

[Flaxbee]

40. "Chocolat" and "About a Boy"

gawd I love those movies...

"Room With a View" is excellent, too.

And for chick-mini-series, "Pride and Prejudice" from A&E without a doubt!

[texas1928]

42. Brian's Song

It was so beautiful, They were such good friends. :cry:

[Starlight]

43. Anything with Meg Ryan...

like French Kiss. :)

[JimmyJazz]

46. Good choice(s)

[Still_Notafraid]

56. I am a guy

But i liked Ya-Ya sisterhood,and that one movie with Guy in the title can't think of the name but was really funny.Might have been (About a Guy) but i am not sure.

[sundog]

52. Except maybe In the Cut - badbadbadbad

[Kat45]

44. Muriel's Wedding

[politicat]

48. Shakespeare in Love and Sense and Sensibility.

Okay, the first is rather wretched on the history (but it's Tom Stoppard, duh...) and the second has Huge Rant, but it also has Alan Rickman....

Pcat

[qnr]

50. I enjoyed "Under The Tuscan Sun"

Others too, but that one recently.

[JimmyJazz]

54. Really. I'll check that out. I loved Diane Lane in Ladies and

Gentlemen, the Fabulous Stains, but I hadn't seen her in much since.

[Kenneth ken]

59. Under The Tuscan Sun was my first thought too.

I still don't see how Diane Lane didn't win the Oscar for that role. She was brilliant.

lots of other good choices in this thread too. I like chick-flics.

edit: names get capitalized.

[Spider Jerusalem]

58. Probably "Amelie".

[TrogL]

60. Panic Room or Silence of the Lambs

[proud2BlibKansan]

61. Phenomenon

with John Travolta, Robert Duvall and Kyra Sedgewick

[lgardengate]

62. Titanic, and lots of classics

[GRLMGC]

63. The Way We Were

Does that count? I love that movie and I'm not ashamed to admit it :-)

[Baja Margie]

64. How about Private Benjamin ?

[Champ]

65. "The Hot Chick"

Does that count? :D

[the Princess]

66. American Gigolo

Well - that's MY kind of chick flick anyway :)

[JimmyJazz]

79. Oh and I must say, that selection speaks volumes about you

my dear!!!! :)

[the Princess]

82. Ya think?? LOLOL

[Dan-W]

67. My Foolish Heart. (circa 1948). n/t

[drhilarius]

69. "Where the Boys Aren't" #'s 1-6

Also "Caged Heat"
"Florence of a-Labia"

[slinkerwink]

70. "Amelie" and "Beaches" "Pretty Woman" and "My Girl"

[Jean Louise Finch]

71. Say Anything

I can't believe no one has said this yet. Maybe I am just blind and some brilliant soul has identified it above.

"The bomb could go off, and even their mutant genes would form the same cliques." ---Corey

[fujiyama]

73. As a guy...

I'd say "While you were Sleeping"...or maybe "Unfaithful"

[peacefreak]

74. Boys on the Side

Witches of Eastwick
Never Been Kissed

[Nobody]

75. Alien!

I love flicks with strong female characters and this one wins on all counts.

I also love action flicks. I can't stand romances or "Woman Being Abused on Sunday Night TV" flicks.

Give me a woman with a gun any day.

By the way, I once read a movie critic call Alien Ressurection a chick flick. I think his definition was that any movie with three or more major female characters was a chick flick.

[ProfessorGAC]

77. League Of Their Own

I love that movie. I am usually one of those people who see the flaws in continuity, character and situational development, and awkward scripting. I find it hard to lose myself in the movie because of that.

But, i lose myself in "League" everytime i watch it. Every time.

Kudos to Penny Marshall and the entire cast.
The Professor

[Bridget Burke]

80. "Now, Voyager"

The "3-hanky movies" of the 30's & 40's speak to me more than something modern starring somebody perky. "Love Affair" with Charles Boyer & Irene Dunn was remade as "An Affair to Remember", which was referred to in "Sleepless in Seattle"--is this not symbolic of the decline of cinema? Boyer starred with Bette Davis in "All This and Heaven Too"--supreme tear-jerking.

As a non-tear jerker, but a movie dealing with emotions--would "Philadelphia Story" qualify? Despite their acrid wit, "The Women" and "All About Eve" are stories in which women move the plot.

Not that modern cinema is totally void of interest--I love "Moonstruck". And all the Jane Austen product, made for TV or not, deals mostly with feminine concerns. Although most of them miss some of Jane's sarcasm.
