Chick Flicks

[MissPotts]

Ok like I said I never watch TV. Watching movies is not my strong suit either. I hate shutting my mouth for that long. Today though in class we were asigned to watch a movie about relationships. Any one we want? My teacher said AKA Chick Flicks. Its a interpersonal communication class. So any recommendations? What are the best chick flicks. Throw them all at me you would be amazed what I have never seen. And do it quick since I want to set up my Netflix today or tommarow.

[AquaRuby]

Well the girls have been chatting about Chick Flicks for awhile -- one of my favorites is with Keanu Reeves and Sandra Bullock called The Lake House -- I love that movie.

[mj.johnston]

Oh! I think I've seen them all :D I love Sweet Home Alabama, probably my favorite. There's 50 First Dates (very cute!), the classic Pretty Woman, Love Actually, Alot Like Love, Two Weeks Notice... Seen any of these?

And, I totally laughed out loud at your "can't keep my mouth shut for that long" comment! lol2

[shades of bliss]

I was going to say Love Actually was a lot of fun.

[MissPotts]

I think I saw Pretty Woman other than that No. See I got to make this one good! Who knows when I will watch another one!

[mturnidge]

I was going to say Love Actually was a lot of fun.

Well, I hated that movie... but I'm such a prude... lol2

I love Sweet Home Alabama, Stepmom (more serious), most of the Julia Roberts movies... like My Best Friend's Wedding, Runaway Bride... Meg Ryan movies (Sleepless in Seattle, You've Got Mail).

27 dresses, PS I love you

[MissPotts]

HMMM! I better figure it out today!

[mj.johnston]

27 dresses, PS I love you

I loved 27 dresses!! Great suggestion!

[~Julie~]

I loved it too even though I don't really like Katherine Heigl

PS I Love you is an awesome chick flick. Made me cry 3 times LOL

[AquaRuby]

So did you decide on one?

[MissPotts]

No not yet I need to though. I am working on a page and too lazy to bother right now.

[Jani22]

I would say it depends on the relationships you are studying. Love relationships, I am a huge fan of Sweet Home Alabama.
If its relationships in general that cross the whole spectrum, I'm all for Steel Magnolias. My fave and pretty much the most chick, chick flick you can get!

[~Julie~]

Oh yeah I forgot about Steel Magnolias.. That movie makes me cry no matter how many times I have seen it!

[MissPotts]

I guess I will try Steel Magnolias!

[KirstieGai]

I like How to lose a guy in 10 days, could watch it over and over ...... especially the part where Matthew McConaughy takes his shirt off :dance:

[Sweeet]

I really loved Failure to Launch :blowkiss:

[LeeAndra]

Ooooh, you MUST see 'P.S. I Love You.' It's so amazing and lots of relationships in lots of different stages in it, too.

[AquaRuby]

Steel Magnolias is a good choice too.

[MissPotts]

AARRRGGG! U girls are confusing me! Just kidding. So I did not decide in time to use Netflix for the assignment so I will have to ask my sister. HMMM or hit up Netflix;s online movies. I will go browse now!

[Mommy2Talesia]

Ooooh, you MUST see 'P.S. I Love You.' It's so amazing and lots of relationships in lots of different stages in it, too.
Love love love this one! I read the book first and the movie didn't stray to far.

[MissPotts]

I wanted to see PS I love You but did not find it on Netflix instant view so I will watch Steel Magnolias. Who knows maybe I will order PS I Love You. THX for all the help and I will let u know how it goes. Hopefully I can shut up to watch it. lmao

[~Julie~]

Yes definitely see it.. But have the tissues ready! :)

[ValeriGail]

Oh"PS I love you" was amazing!!! Love Love Love that movie. I wasn't sure about it, but went ahead and rented it through netflix... and watched it all alone during nap time.. OMG!!! I cried and cried and cried.. and laughed and laughed and laughed... sometimes both at the same time!

I also really love "How to lose a guy in 10 days" one of my all time favs.

Did you watch Steel magnolias yet?

[MissPotts]

no, not till this weekend.

[AquaRuby]

So what do you need to do once you've watched it?

[MissPotts]

I am not sure I have not read the assignment. I am sure it is easy though.

[MissMint]

I haven't seen PS I love you...who's in that????

I LOVED Steel Magnolias too, Erin Brokovich is one of my all time fave's..obviously DIRTY DANCING and Pretty Woman are also in my top 5. I liked Knocked Up but I thought that 21 Dresses was TERRIBLE and that Jennifer Aniston/Vince Vaughn movie, the Break Up? OMG I couldn't even watch the whole thing it was so BAD!!!

What about Sleepless in Seattle? Wedding Crashers, obviously The Notebook....Hmmm what else?

[~Julie~]

Hilary Swank is the lead actress and Kathy Bates is in it. Harry Connick Jr is in it too but I don't like his character. LOL

[ValeriGail]

Oh the "Notebook"!! Love that one too, have it on DVD.

I love older themed movies alot.. So my all time total Favorite is "Pride and Prejudice"... Any version, but partial to the new one with Kiera Nightly and the BBC version from just a few years ago.

[audscraps]

im so not a "chick flick" kinda gal... but im surprised no one has mentioned Pretty in Pink. 80's... Molly Ringwald... for shame ladies! for shame. :shake:

Best "chick flick" movie, EVER!

here he is again ----> :banana:

[KirstieGai]

OMG PRetty in Pink, I loved that and all the other movies that featured that Brat Pack - St Elmo's Fire, Sixteen Candles, The Breakfast Club

[audscraps]

oh i know! i grew up watching those movies. my mom watched all those movies when i was a kid. love em!

[shades of bliss]

I still love those movies too. We own Breakfast club and my older kids have seen it too. (Hmm some of the scenes were a little hard to explain) but they loved it too. But I do have to laugh at the cloths now.

that is too funny. yah, i definitely "got" certain scenes after i was a bit older, like high school age... i was like, oooooh... THAT's what is going on... lol

[KirstieGai]

yep, my 5yr old DD is already playing with her dolls saying they're having sex :bigeek:. I asked her what it meant and she said she didn't know but that Charlie has it all the time :eyepop:, so I ask her who Charlie is because I'm slightly confused and she replies "Charlie, from Two and a Half Men!" lol2 then asks me if I had boyfriends before Daddy like Charlie has girlfriends and I say yes. The of course she says "did you have sex with them :eyepop:?" oh dear :shake: . I tell her to ask me again when she knows what it is, by then she probably won't want to know the answer lmao

omg, confession. i used to do the same thing when i was the same age! im pretty sure all girls do that at some point. (i hope anyway, otherwise you girls have something on me now!) lol2 kids grow up so fast. some days i want a little girl. and other days i DONT. :bigeek:

[audscraps]

the scene in breakfast club were they get high... when i was a kid i thought they were smoking a cigarette... when i got older i realized what they were smoking was a little stronger than tobacco. lol2

[Jani22]

I LOVED pretty in pink. But see I was the chick who totally thought Ducky was awesome. I would have loved him! I love the cute dorky ones!

OMG Kirstie that is the FUNNIEST story - wow kids pick up everything!!!
I would have died if my 5 yr old asked me that. I think you handled it well!

[AquaRuby]

One of my best friends in high school was a guy named Duckie -- he got the nickname from the movie. He was so cute -- totally loved him!!

[shades of bliss]

Oh Kirstie that is so funny!! Especially about her questions to you. lol2

One time my DD and her friend were playing Barbies and I was in the other room. Suddenly Barbie was going to have sex with Ken. I went in and said "Do you know what sex is?" They both said "No." So I said "Then your barbies aren't doing it!" And left it at that, LOL.

So I ended up watching When Harry Met Sally. Yup I had not even seen that. I love dit and I am so glad I did. DH even watched it with me. So today I have to tell the class about a few emotional aspects from the movie that pertain to chapter 4.Thanks for all your help and I may watch some of the other Chick Flicks u girls recommended.

[Raylene]

"How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days"
It is a must for Chick Flicks to have a gorgeous guy in them.....:hug:
and my fav, although it didn't rate well... "Meet Joe Black" I'm a seriously disturbed Brad Pitt fan. So I also would recommend "Mr & Mrs Smith." That one has a lot of shoot'em up stuff too and it's funny, but it's also very romantic....*sigh*

And if you want to use up a box of kleenex, go for "Message in a Bottle" OMG! Paul Newman is the father in that one, with Kevin Costner & Robin Wright Penn....
