Chick Flicks

[rkmsuf]

I was just reliving my experience of going to see Under The Tuscan Sun a couple years ago and got me thinking...what is the chickiest of chick flicks you've ever been forced to see?

(sorry ladies, it's men time)

[Desnudo]

Caddyshack

[st.cronin]

I liked Under the Tuscan Sun. I guess it is a chick flick, but it's actually a good enough movie that I didn't really care.

The soggiest thing I've had to endure was The Notebook.

[Butter]

My wife insisted I buy and watch with her Grease.

God, I can't stand that movie.

[JeeberD]

I couldn't tell you which one was the worst, but I've seen more than my fair share over the years. But now that I think of it, I was dragged to "Pride and Predjudice" a couple of weeks ago, and that was about as chicky as it gets...

[rkmsuf]

Caddyshack

Nobody likes a wise ass. Except of course me.

[sovereignstar]

Sweet Home Alabama with Reese Witherspoon.

[bbor]

Not without my daughter.

Sally Feild

Hate her.

[rkmsuf]

I liked Under the Tuscan Sun. I guess it is a chick flick, but it's actually a good enough movie that I didn't really care.

The soggiest thing I've had to endure was The Notebook.


I guess you could make a case for Tuscan Sun just based on the abiltiy to see Diane Lane in a bra but that thing had no other redeeming features that would speak to maleness.

[rkmsuf]

Sweet Home Alabama with Reese Witherspoon.


ooof

[rkmsuf]

Maple Leafs needs to organize a chick flick draft.

[path12]

Sweet Home Alabama was bad, but my gf is big into musicals (which I hate and would consider mainly chick flicks) so I'm going with:

Oliver.

Longest three days of my life.

[BrianD]

Divine Secrets of the Ya-Ya Sisterhood.

I tend to like a lot of chick flicks, but this one did me in.

[rkmsuf]

Divine Secrets of the Ya-Ya Sisterhood.

I tend to like a lot of chick flicks, but this one did me in.

That has to be considered at the top of all the chick flick draft boards.

[oliegirl]

My wife insisted I buy and watch with her Grease.

God, I can't stand that movie.


I cannot believe you said that! That is my #1 all time favorite movie! Your girlfriend has great taste...I sit on the couch, watch that movie and sing all the songs, do some of the dance moves (yes I am a dork) and recite part (ok, most) of the dialogue :)

I watch it because I have an extreme boner for Olivia Newton John.

I figured someone would say that. Does it help if I say I *also* like to watch stuff get blown up?

Dirty Dancing has to be right up there.

PERFECT response to a bizarre post. I think only Hell Atlantic could have come up with a more appropriate one.

[DanGarion]

One of best friends puts on Mulan Rogue really loud and sings when he's drunk.

Truth about Cats and Dogs.

Stopped going to chick flicks after we got married(thank god).

And Grease is such a lousy ass movie. Wife made me sit through that shit the other day when it was on TV.

[cthomer5000]

Truth about Cats and DogsYep. This also tops my list. Painful stuff.

[rkmsuf]

What about Footloose? Do you classify that as a chick flick? I say yes.

Exhibit A - Kevin Bacon dancing his buns off in an empty warehouse doing all these mitch gaylord gymnastics.

Exhibit B - has a snappy soundtrack

Exhibit C - it's about dancing

I'm getting conflicting opinions on this one.

[DanGarion]

Izulde?
Heh, no.

[Honolulu_Blue]

No. Footloose is not a chick flick.

[stevew]

Is Reality Bites a chick flick?

[rkmsuf]

No. Footloose is not a chick flick.


Are you sure. It seems quite chicky to me. Kevin Bacon takes his shirt off and I really want to see someone punch him in the face in that movie.

[DanGarion]

What about Footloose? Do you classify that as a chick flick? I say yes.

As do many women. If I knew a guy that started singing along with that crap, though, I'd lock the door behind him before he got to say "electrifyin'!"

[rkmsuf]

I am sure.

you are not a chick are you?

[Klinglerware]

But it's also about standing up to the man, in true 80s style...

[Honolulu_Blue]

Grease is not a chick flick either. It's a musical.

Next.

[rkmsuf]

But it's also about standing up to the man, in true 80s style...


standing up to the man by dancing feels chicky to me

[Honolulu_Blue]

you are not a chick are you?
No, I am not a chick, but I am wise beyond my years when it comes to film and have an extensive library of "chick music".

Do not worry about my qualifications.

Next.

[stevew]

I thought of another one.

The Cutting Edge. Chick flick and it has Ice Skating in it. So chicky it could probably make violent sexual offenders docile, due to its utter testosterone zapping powers.

[Butter]

Grease is not a chick flick either. It's a musical.

And I like Michigan.

Well. That explains a lot.

[st.cronin]

I thought of another one.

The Cutting Edge. Chick flick and it has Ice Skating in it. So chicky it could probably make violent sexual offenders docile, due to its utter testosterone zapping powers.

It also has hockey, the most manly of sports, in it. Even a few seconds of hockey is enough to make a movie non-chicky.

[Honolulu_Blue]

This is a chick flick. Well done.

I don't think you've really seen this film. Honolulu back me up here.

[Honolulu_Blue]

Well. That explains a lot.
Whatever you say, Grandma's Boy.

[Honolulu_Blue]

I don't think you've really seen this film. Honolulu back me up here.
I got your back, rksmurf. The small bit of hockey does not save this film from being a chick flick. It's about a hockey player becomming a figure skater and is a romantic comedy.

Next.

[Schmidty]

One of my all-time favorite movies is Meet Me in St. Louis. It doesn't get more chicky then that.

I also really like Some Kind of Wonderful for some reason.

[rkmsuf]

Just that phrase "It's about a hockey player becomming a figure skater" makes me throw up in my mouth.

[Butter]

Whatever you say, Grandma's Boy.

That thread was supposed to be a joke about the new ads at the top of the screen, and the one I happened to be seeing the most that day. Not my fault my unrivaled comic genius was mistaken for sincerity.

Some Kind of Wonderful is not a chick flick either. It falls into a similar category as Footloose. It's a teen comedy more than a chick flick. Like Sixteen Candles or the more recent 10 Things I hate About You and the like.

Sleepless in Seattle is a chick flick. When Harry Met Sally, chick flick.

[st.cronin]

Princess Bride?

[stevew]

Son of a bitch! They made a sequel to the Cutting Edge

Footloose is miles away from Sixteen Candles. Don't make me question your credentials on this topic.

Stop your back pedalling. I heard about how you and the local Buckeye Booster Club organized a big pre-party and the special advanced midnight screening of Grandma's Boy. I saw the pictures on the internets. It's ok, I think everyone figured the target audience would be Ohio State alumns.

A joke he says...

[Surtt]

And also a great movie!


I guess that settles it: chick flick.

[Honolulu_Blue]

And also a great movie!
There are chick flicks that are great movies, this is for sure.

[Samdari]

I also really like Some Kind of Wonderful for some reason.

The thought of a really slutty Lea Thompson turns you on?

Me too.

And you guys are forgetting the retired champ of chick flicks:

Steel Magnolias.

[rkmsuf]

Fried Green Tomatoes?

[Butter]

I am troubled by how H_B seems to be taking control of this thread over from rkmsuf.

[Honolulu_Blue]

Princess Bride?
No.

Steel Magnolias? Yes.

Fried Green Tomatoes? Yes.

Where The Heart Is? Yes.

[rkmsuf]

I am troubled by how H_B seems to be taking control of this thread over from rkmsuf.

If he chooses to display the depth of his chick flick knowledge then he is more than welcome to. He can be our chick flick ambassador.

[Butter]

Steel Magnolias.

I think you mean Beaches.

[rkmsuf]

Ok, how about Ghost? Chick flick?

[Samdari]

I think you mean Beaches.

Nope. Steel Magnolias is chickier. Beaches is definitely top 5 though.

[st.cronin]

Brokeback Mountain?

[Honolulu_Blue]

Ok, how about Ghost? Chick flick?
A challenging one. Very tough, but.... Yes. Edgier than most, but a chick flick nonetheless.

And that's Chick Flick Badassador, thank you very much.

Sorority Sex Kittens 2?

Something like a 30 girl daisy-chain in that one. Big chick flick.

[oliegirl]

Ok - serious question....

What makes a movie a Chick Flick?

[Honolulu_Blue]

Oh, yes.

[stevew]

Waiting to Exhale looked pretty chick flick. Man cheats on you so you set his fuckin car on fire. That's pretty rational.

[rkmsuf]

Ok - serious question....

What makes a movie a Chick Flick?

My people tell me one important aspect is crying at some point...bonus points for at the end.

[sovereignstar]

As soon as Cutting Edge was mentioned this shit got real serious.

[st.cronin]

Waiting to Exhale looked pretty chick flick. Man cheats on you so you set his fuckin car on fire. That's pretty rational.


Don't you have to apply a different standard of rationality to a woman's behavior?

[sovereignstar]

How about The Craft (http://imdb.com/title/tt0115963/)?

Plot Outline: A newcomer to a Catholic prep high school falls in with a trio of outcast teenage girls whom practice witchcraft and they all soon conger up various spells and curses against those who even slightly anger them.

[rkmsuf]

Kate and Leopold? I mean it does have time travel in it.

[Schmidty]

She's ok, but I had a huge crush on Mary Stuart Masterson. Ah.....Watts.

[Schmidty]

Sleepless in Seattle is a chick flick. When Harry Met Sally, chick flick.

Anything with love in it is a chick flick, afaic.

[Raiders Army]

Anything with love in it is a chick flick, afaic.
So I Know What You Did Last Summer is a chick flick?

[stevew]

Don't you have to apply a different standard of rationality to a woman's behavior?

There is no standard of rationality in woman's behavior, because there is no rationality whatsoever.

[rkmsuf]

Anything with love in it is a chick flick, afaic.


Not Revenge of the Nerds...Lewis and Betty Childs were in love.

[st.cronin]

There is no standard of rationality in woman's behavior.

So, there is NO way to determine if a woman's behavior is rational?

[stevew]

So, there is NO way to determine if a woman's behavior is rational?

Fixed what i meant in previous post. Women are irrational. Pretty much.

[Schmidty]

So I Know What You Did Last Summer is a chick flick?

Definitely. Only chicks like those crappy teen slasher flicks.

[Honolulu_Blue]

Ok - serious question....

What makes a movie a Chick Flick?
Well, the easy answer is that it's kind of like porn... you know it when you see it.

There are a few typical kinds of Chick Flicks. There are romantic comedy chick flicks (My Best Friends Wedding, Sleepless In Seattle, You've Got Mail, etc.) (note: not all romantic comedies are chick flicks), simply "romantic" chick flicks (Pride & Prejudice), and then there is just flat out pure 100% chick flicks. The latter are movies made about women for women. To borrow one of the Queens' (Steel Magnolias) taglines: They are the funniest movies that will make you cry. Steel Magnolias, Beaches, Where The Heart Is, Mystic Pizza, Fried Green Tomatoes, etc. There are some outliers as well, but those are your basic categories.

Chick flicks mostly include dialogue-laden, formulated romantic comedies (with mis-matched lovers or female relationships), tearjerkers and gal-pal films, movies about family crises and emotional catharsis, some traditional 'weepies', and female bonding situations involving families, mothers, daughters and children.

[rkmsuf]

Definitely. Only chicks like those crappy teen slasher flicks.

that's true. ever see two guys go to a movie like that?

[duckman]

How Stella Got Her Groove Back

I went to see it with my ex-girlfriend the first weekend it came out. She (the ex) thought it was the greatest movie. However, I wanted to cut my eyes out.

[rkmsuf]

Thelma and Louise I guess would be considered one.

[Honolulu_Blue]

Kate and Leopold? I mean it does have time travel in it.
Kate and Leopold makes it in by a good distance, even with the time travel and starring Wolverine.

[Honolulu_Blue]

Thelma and Louise I guess would be considered one.
Big time.

How Stella Got Her Groove Back

Supposedly the relationship that this movie was loosely based upon broke up cause they authors young stud boyfriend was really gay, and was just using her for money and a green card.

How about The Craft (http://imdb.com/title/tt0115963/)?
A very interesting choice. It did center around teenage girls becoming empowered through witchcraft... That sort of "grrl power" is often times considered an element of chick flicks, but in this instance I am saying....

No. Not a chick flick.

Kind of a darkhorse chick-flick (just my opinion)....but:

Dragonfly starring Kevin Costner.

Ugh.

Wow, I am impressed, and somewhat frightened by the depth of this answer and the obvious thought that went into it.

Are you gay?

Miss Congeniality?

Seriously have to ask on this one?

[rkmsuf]

:confused:
Gay? Nope. I am a married man. Never been attracted to fellas, only the ladies.

I did study film in undergrad, which could explain some of the response. You were impressed and somewhat frightened by the dept of my answer regarding chick flicks, then I wouldn't recommend a discussion on sci-fi/fantasy movies. Or a discussion on some possible interpretations of the movie "Alien".

Also, do not forget, I am a Badassador. ;)

[Butter]

I want a more in-depth ruling on Grease.

Miss Congeniality?

Too much humor, not enough emphasis on emothional catharsis, and no crying.

West Side Story
7 Brides for 7 Brothers
Chicago

[WSUCougar]

Sorry, but there should be no true definition of a chick flick. It's a gut male instinct.

When the previews for a chick flick come on TV, you get up to grab anotehr cold one or check the timer on the pot pie in the oven. In the theater, you squirm around and wish to god they'd show some sword-hacking or gun-blasting thing that would max out the Dolby sound, and not subject you to anymore giggling or perky, Mozartian violins.

When you say, "Maybe we could go see a movie," open up the newspaper, and see an ad for it, your eyes gloss over it automatically. However, if you do bychance linger on the image, it usually has a woman with an oversized mouth smiling or laughing; sometimes she is riding on the back of a goofily-grinning man, who is clearly some kind of a eunuch, or perhaps there are a gaggle of women with oversized mouths grinning or laughing at one another...as if, perhaps, they'd just witnessed a phallic-looking zuchini looking aroused in the fridge, or perhaps their bottle of Turning Leaf chardonnay made a funny pooting noise when the cork came out.

Yes, the singing and dancing talent is phenomenal for your average teenage gang. Chick-flick status somewhat mitigated by ethnic tension and lack of female empowerment...

Agree about Cutting Edge too

Can you tell I am married and have had to suffer through some of these...?

[ISiddiqui]

Too much humor, not enough emphasis on emothional catharsis, and no crying.Oh, come on! It's the classic ugly duckling turns into a swan chick flick.

Hell yes "Mrs Congeniality" is a chick flick! No question!

[ISiddiqui]

Chicago -- Richard Gere. I rest my case.While Gere hurts it, he is playing a thoroughly unlikable character (Hell, EVERYONE is supposed to be unlikable... that's the point). And its a flick about people lying and murderers getting away with it because of slick lawyers who like to manipulate the press.

That and the fact that the no one likeable makes it impossible to decide whether to root for Roxie.

Hense... NO chick flick.
