Recently, I decided to watch "Muriel's Wedding" again after many years and loved it. I forgot how good of a movie it is and ended up ordering it from Amazon to add to my small collection of chick flicks since I immediately wanted to watch it again. What are some of your gals' favorite Chick Flick? I need to ideas to add to my netflix quere!

Date: 11/8/2007 7:07:06 PM Author: robbie3982 Where the Heart Is. I LOVE that movie! It makes me cry every time! Me too, it's definitely my fave! Have you read the book? Different, but also wonderful. I actually really loved "The Holiday." Another recent favorite is "Knocked Up," but I guess that one's halfway between romantic comedy and gross-out comedy!

Good recommendations! For TV movies, there's always: The Hallmark Channel ABC Family Channel (my personal favorite) -- especially between Thanksgiving and Christmas. OH! -- The "Oxygen" Channel (occasionally has some chickflcik movies...they seem to play one with Jennifer Love Hewitt a lot. It's called "Confessions of a Social Climber" or something like that) Lifetime (although many of the movies on Lifetime aren't the feel good kinds of movies -- they're depressing and/or intense) ETA: Serendipity (with John Cusack, Kate Beckinsale, and Jeremy Piven) is a great movie In Her Shoes (with Cameron Diaz and Shirley McClaine) Jerry McGuire

Check this out for more: http://www.filmsite.org/chickflicks.html We just watched The Shop Around the Corner, which was the inspiration for You've Got Mail. It was pretty good. There's also Father of the Bride, both the origninal and the one with Steve Martin ETA: One of my favorites is Hope Floats with Harry Connick, Jr. and Sandra Bullock

These are all great suggestions. Thanks so much. The Holiday was great. . . I loved it and cried during it. Is anyone here really sentimental/emotional and easily brought to the slight of tears during movies? It's kind of embarrassing for me since it happens in the movie theater all the time. Has anyone seen "Dan in Real Life?" DH and I saw that a few days back and I LOVED it and was weeping away while he was BORED out of his mind. Poor guy!

Date: 11/8/2007 8:37:12 PM This is PERFECT! Thanks. It's nice that they have a section for guys. . . maybe my dh will be more forgiving if I add a few movies in for him. He loves Sci Fi mostly, which is good. He's not into anything too action packed in a brainless way. lol

Or buy him the box set of X Files now out for the holidays. hehee My hubby is the same way; he hates chick flicks.  I usually go w/my sister or a girlfriend to see those movies.

I read a lot so it's possible that I picked it up after seeing the movie and just don't remember. I should get it anyway since I don't remember

Where the Heart Is is so good...the movie that is! I have the book but I haven't gotten around to reading it yet. I meant to read it right after watching the movie but it's been years and I still haven't read it. I did get the soundtrack and it's good!

I like all kinds of chick flicks. Two not mentioned here (which are kind of "period pieces") Anne of Green Gables (Megan Follows version) Pride and Prejudice (BBC version with Colin Firth) _______________________ |

I love that genre of movie, so will have to check out Anne of Green Gables. Speaking of Colin Firth, while it's not technically a chick flick- I really enjoyed Girl With a Pearl Earring- a beautiful film (and a good book as well). There is a scene in the movie where he brushes against Scarlett Johansen's (sp?) hand that takes my breath away.

Labbielove, Anne of Green Gables is not exactly in the same genre....but it is a piece where women where dresses and what not. The main character is HIGHLY annoying at first, and some may find the story slow. But I just love the movie...it's a coming of age piece. _______________________ |

The American President is my favorite chick flick. It's been on TBS the last few weeks so I've watched it a couple of times lately.

I've seen Anne of Green Gables (with Megan Follows) soooooo many times and I love it each time. The later movies with her (as Anne and Gilbert get older) aren't quite as good in my opinion, but I still watch them whenever they're on. My original copy of Anne of Green Gables was on VHS and it's so old it's worn out. The DVD is on my Christmas wish list. Speaking of period movies, has anyone mentioned Little Women (any version but I actually like the one with Susan Sarandon and Natalie Portman)? Very good! Then there's Emma, Vanity Fair, and Sense and Sense and Sensibility (wasn't Keira Knightley in that one?). Reese Witherspoon was in one not too long ago but I can't remember which one.

I wish I could see the later ones where apparently Gilbert goes off to war, but I have also heard they aren't as good. I have read most of the books and have been lucky enough to have read Anne's House of Dreams, Anne of Ingleside and Rilla of Ingleside too. Those were as charming as the earlier books.  Nothing is more sacred as the bond between horse and rider...no other creature can ever become so emotionally close to a human as a horse. When a horse dies, the memory lives on because an enormous part of his owner's heart, soul, very existence dies also...but that can never be laid to rest, it is not meant to be... - Stephanie M Thorn |

I've been wanting to see the last one, but I heard it's pretty disappointing. From what I can make out, they have used parts of later stories for inspiration for the last movie. It seems like Gilbert goes off to war and is missing, then Anne goes off to find him - correct me if I am wrong those in the know! In the original Lucy Maud M stories, it is actually Anne's second son Walter who goes off to the 1st WW in France and is killed. It is a shame as I would like to see the last one, but I don't think I will go out of my way to do so.

Oooh! I just thought of another! Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants. I know I liked the books better, but I remember really liking the movie also.
