10 Best Chick Flicks of all Time (random order)
Jun 09 '08
The Bottom Line when you feel like curling up on the couch...whether it be with the one who captured your heart, or just with a group of girlfriends for a girl's night in.
1. The Notebook -- Simply, this movie is about one thing...unconditional, undiminished love. What a beautiful gesture for the elderly Noah to spend all day reading "The Notebook" in order to get his wife back for just a few minutes. When Allie becomes herself again, she asks, "How long do we have?" The lovers know that they only have a few hard-won minutes before dementia takes Allie away again. If ever two people were soul mates, it would be Noah and Allie, from their love spats as youngsters to their deep mutual devotion until the end of their lives.
2. Dirty Dancing -- the ultimate guilty pleasure. awesome romance movie set in the 1950s. and the dancing is amazing! makes me wanna take a class or two so I can have a cute guy like Johnny :-)
3. Steel Magnolias -- This movie is another that just touches and uplift's the human heart and spirit at its very core. The ladies in this movie are all strong opinionated souls. There is nothing on earth more beautiful and feminine than a self assured strong willed woman who lives life boldly with passionate joy that is so in touch with itself she demands\inspires all around her to live fully as she does. These ladies in their own unique ways teach about love, faith, hope and charity. The good ladies in this movie are so much fun too. Watching this movie is just a pure joy. As a black man I must say that the fact this movie never really showed the beauty of today's educated fun modern southern black woman does take away from the DVD's overall impact. This movie suffers intensely from its culturally monotoned nature, an ugly hell from which nothing can rescue it.
4. Jerry Maguire -- one of my favorite movies and I always try to catch it when it's on cable. Tom Cruise plays the title character - a sports agent who goes slightly awry and decides that his life and profession are shallow. Cruise has perhaps his best role ever her, and he is certainly less smug and condescending than in many other roles. Renee Zellweger broke through as an actress here and is really pretty enchanting.
5. Pretty Woman -- its a classic. Enough said.
6-7-8. Sixteen Candles, Pretty in Pink, The Breakfast Club -- pretty much anything with Molly Ringwald is a great movie.
9. As Good as It Gets -- gotta love Jack Nicholson.
10. City of Angels -- This is one of the most romantic movies to come out of Hollywood in decades and has a message about the wonderful things we all take for granted. More than that, it is a story about the importance of love, even one felt for only a moment, for it is that experience which makes us special among all creation. To love is all, and to be loved in return is truly divine.
