I'm not a huge fan of chick flicks but I've been known to watch'em on occasion... Ghost, Pretty Woman, 50 First Dates, Jerry Maguire to name a few. A girl needs a little romance in her life from time to time.

I'll watch pretty much anything though my guilty pleasure is old 80's flicks (i.e. The Princess Bride, Say Anything, Pretty in Pink, The Breakfast Club) along with horror, which Hollywood is incapable of doing correctly anymore (don't get me started!) & my secret weakness is kung-fu flicks - go figure $:-\$

"Hello. My name is Inigo Montoya. You killed my father prepare to die." - Classic!

I have a sick, sick obsession w/kung fu flicks... I'll watch'em no matter how cheesy or badly dubbed they are - I just don't care! I freakin' love Bruce Lee & bow down in worship of Jet Li.

Migs · « **Reply #31 on:** September 16, 2006, 03:57:07 PM »

this next Jet Li film is his last.

I know!

That sucks...

what got you into kung fu movies?

mish · « **Reply #34 on:** September 16, 2006, 04:03:23 PM »

My dad, we'd watch'em together when I was little. Every Sat. afternoon Kung Fu Theater came on & I was in front of the tv from 1 - 4:00 like clockwork! I used to love it when they'd have Bruce Lee week - a different flick every night, it was great!

Migs · « **Reply #35 on:** September 16, 2006, 04:06:29 PM »

that's pretty cool

joy luck club and memoirs of a geisha were very good as well

I love chinese movies as well. They have some of the best fight choreography & rope work.
It's like a dance. I'm a sucker for pretty much any genre, as long as there is production value to it.

There is a French director I'm sooo waiting to see. I saw his debut short and it was remarkable, I can't believe some studio hasn't snapped him up already. He did a 60 minute short about a paranoid guy who ends up in an insane asylum. In the end, it turns out he was right all along. He zooms in on the fly that had been the object of this poor guy's obsession, ...and as the camera gets closer & closer, ...we see in the final shot, that the fly is actually not a real fly, ...but a mechanical one manufactured by the CIA. It was BRILLIANT! I couldn't believe it was the debut work of a student film maker. It looked like it had a multimillion dollar hollywood budget behind it.

For those of you who like tear jerkers, you have to get a DVD copy of Nicholas Nickleby and a box of kleenex. I swear that movie will take you through every single emotion possible, ...and in the end, you will just be spent.

most men would find the leads in that movie very unattractive . . . so, yeah, probably the ultimate chick flick.

Now a movie w pretty little ludivine sagnier I could watch multiple times. even if she's bashing in some poor gaul's skull.

The two women in Baise Moi were supposed to be deadended losers so it wouldn't have made much sense to cast gorgeous women in their roles, although the dark-haired one was kind of vixen-like I thought. Actually I shouldn't have thrown it under chick flicks, since it was mostly men running to see it in droves for all the graphic sex (which turned out to be more or less there but fleeting.)

I can see your attraction to Ludivine Sagnier though... she seems like your type.

I have a type . . . that you can discern through the internet?

Deedee · « **Reply #41 on:** September 17, 2006, 07:01:11 AM »

I'm sensitive, perceptive, and intuitive...

Plus you once posted pics of women who looked a lot like her.

Deedee · « **Reply #42 on:** September 17, 2006, 07:03:00 AM »

Other good chick flicks that come to mind: Love Actually, Sliding Doors, and Sense and Sensibility

The Brits make excellent chick flicks IMO!!!

I'm watching it right now, I love this movie! I couldn't begin to tell ya how many times I've seen it & I cry at the same parts every time - especially at the end when she gets to meet her children for the first time...

Toxy, I think that's dreamy that you thought I would like that but I can see that at least 2 actors I'd really prefer never to watch,....ever are in it (Julia Roberts and Hugh Grant).

An example of a love story movie that I would like would be: "Kill Bill"

i might be getting senile, but I think neither Julia Roberts or Hugh grant are in it . . . colin firth and claudia schiffer and liam neeson and keira knightley are?

Al-Gebra · « **Reply #47 on:** September 17, 2006, 09:54:23 PM »

never mind, Hewgh's in it, i just remembered . . . pretty sure julia roberts isn't though.

Laura Lee · « **Reply #48 on:** September 18, 2006, 03:10:57 AM »

in Kill Bill? it was Keith Carridine, Uma Thurman and Lucy Liu.
