Hi, The Duke and patches, welcome to the FT Forums. We are very glad you have joined us and I am sure you will enjoy yourselves here. The Duke, I think the movie you are trying to think of is "Terms Of Endearment". That one is definitely a bona fide great chick flick.

I'm not a "chick flick" kinda girl. But, I love Practical Magic. I've seen it at least 30 times and I never get tired of it. Indie

I not sure if you can consider Addicted to Love by Meg Ryan and Matthew Brodrick a "chick flick". But i just love that movie. Had a fun time watching it. Also like While you were sleeping and Notting Hill.

I'm aghast that only one person mentioned "Fried Green Tomatoes"...the best chick flick of all time! I agree also that Bull Durham has to be considered a cross gender type flick...a baseball flick and a chick flick at the same time, nirvana!

I'm with you on Fried Green Tomatoes. I can't believe no one's mentioned Say Anything, the best of John Cusack's early work. I also go with Ever After. I've watched it so many times, and doubt I'll ever tire of it. I must also mention The Truth About Cats and Dogs, simply because Ben Chaplin is so cute! [ 07-12-2001: Message edited by: rj211 ]

I'm with you on this one. Every time I see the scene with him holding up the boom box,I cry. One of my favorite songs is "In Your Eyes" by Peter Gabriel because of that movie. Indie

Pretty Woman Thelma & Louise French Kiss Now I don't know about ya'll, but I always thought chick flicks were supposed to be terrible movies - these are fine films that I've listed, IMO!

Hate to be a spoil sport people, but oh how I hate that term. If there was a feature film about the life of Lorena Bobbit, that would be my favorite!!! Ouch!  That's just this person's opinion, so please don't take it to heart!

Brainy, if someone takes offense to these, don't sweat it. It's just the person.

I guess it all depends on what one thinks of as a Chick Flick. If its a film that would be considered more appealing to women than men then:
Dirty Dancing
French Kiss If its well crafted but with the traditionally female theme of love then:
When Harry Met Sally If its a film portraying a strong woman and her struggle then:
Angelas Ashes

Oh, come on! Out of all the "chick flicks" you've come up with, which I admit are some pretty good ones, I don't think anyone has mentioned The Joy Luck Club. That movie always brings me to tears. That one would be number one on my list, with Steel Magnolias a close second. Another good crying movie, not a "chick flick" per se, is Dancer in the Dark. I just saw it recently and it's become one of my favorite films of all time. If you like stories about strong-willed women, this one is for you.

Hey ya'll!
As you all know, I've already posted my fave chick flicks on the first page, but now i have a new one. "Serendipity" (-John Cusack, Kate Beckinsale-). Those of you who have seen it know how awesome it is. "On The Line" has an outstanding chance of being better. Too bad it was pushed back from the 19th to the 26th.

I'm not sure if this classifies as a chick flick, but I loved Armageddon. I cry everytime I watch it. Ever After is my favorite movie of all time. I absolutely cannot stand to watch My Best Friend's Wedding. I have seen it once and I can't watch it again. I cried and cried and cried after that movie went off. I just know that is what will happen to me. It's just too depressing.
