There are times when a good chick flick will give you a little boost...and since I am sitting here watching Return To Me, I wondered what other ones people had watched and loved.
The newest one I got hooked on is Music & Lyrics but my favorite is You've Got Mail. I admit it, I am a fan of Meg Ryan.
Full Version: Best chick flick?
I personally love How to Deal when I need a hit of a good chick flick.
Strangely, I haven't liked ANY of the chick flicks I've seen through out my life.

I believe the phrase, "good chick flick", is an oxymoron.
Oh please there are some great chick flicks, my favorite ... 50 First dates. And my Husband's favorite ....What woman want.

LMAO!! Well, obviously, there is a reason they are called chick flicks.
ummm...hmm... I don't believe I have a favorite...I must be some kind of freak.. 
I'd rather watch something like 300 than anything sappy..

Then watch 50 first Dates Nyx. It's not sappy, especially the bit where Drew Barrymore beats the bejeebus outa Adam Sandlers mate with a baseball bat.

That would be Rob Schneider, no? I like that guy.. I'll have to check it out
Wow there are so many, But i liked Secrets of the ya ya sisterhood and i,m not sure would Mistic pizza be considered a chick flick? I,ll have to think about it and get back to ya on this one, i havn,t watched anything at all in the past couple months i can,t remember more off the top of my head right now. 
One of my all times favorites was "Sense and Sensibility" with Emma Thompson, Kate Winslet, Hugh Grant.
One of the best ever imo, and it's not really that sappy...well, perhaps towards the end.
Came out in '95. Here's a little snippet:
When Henry Dashwood dies unexpectedly, his estate must pass by law to his son from his first marriage, John and wife Fanny. But these circumstances leave Mr. Dashwood's current wife, and daughters Elinor, Marianne and Margaret, without a home and with barely enough money to live on.
The sisters struggle for economic survival and search for romantic fulfillment in a society obsessed with financial and social status and must learn to mix sense with sensibility in their dealings with both money and men.

I read that book ages ago. If you liek that time perios, you should check out The Importance of Being Ernest (has a huge element of humour and An Ideal Husband they are both great, too.

Titanic! There we go.. I love that movie 
I'm not a freak after all

Beaches ............ Bette Midler and Barbara Hershey.
I'm a weird girl. I don't like all that many chick flicks. I'd rather watch a horror movie or a comedy, but I like the movie Where the Heart Is.
What Women Want is my guilty pleasure. Mel Gibson is da bomb, and that's the end of that. 
I'm not into the chick flicks either but you could probably get a sniffle out of me with "Fried Green Tomatoes." It has it's moments.

50 First Date wasn't just a regular chick flick! It was inspiring! I also loved Girl In The Cafe and My Sassy Girl (Korean).
My wife and I watched "The Last Kiss" and we almost ended up in a murder/suicide situation.
We don't mind chick flicks, but good god...

Hitch
I don't like chick flicks because the situations are unrealistic and one the person the main character is trying to get with is usually characterless or stereotypical(all the dudes are written like prince charming).
I liked Hitch because it was funny, made a point, and unlike most chick flick male leads I find Will Smith more real. The only problem I had with the movie was the actress lady who the fat guy was chasing after...she didn't show much of a character.

That can be true in some of the movies.
I also love French Kiss. Maybe I have given up on finding "true love", so these movies even if they are goofy or not very realistic make more sense to me.
Death Proof
Suck it down haters it was the best half of Grindhouse. I think it was a chick flick had a lot of girl power in it.

No,no, not teeny bopper movies, things like French Kiss, While You Were Sleeping, Hope Floats, You've Got Mail, Sleepless in Seattle.........the people who are naming horror films are tweeking our noses.

Aliens is the best chick flick feminist movie ever! I love how Ripley goes back for the little girl at the end despite all the wossy men telling her how foolish it was. Strong mothering instinct and powers beat all in the end, and the girl saves the day. It's the coolest.
hhhmmm
chick flick. if you mean to make you cry there are plenty.
I saw the Piano listed and I'm actually listening to the soundtrack. Great film . Chick Flick ? It's an artful film. Worthy of more than being listed just a chick flick. it's sad that it takes something blowing up every 5 minutes to keep some people interested.
Plenty of people didn't want to see Alien at first because of a female lead.( it was actually a sleeper at first )
I see chick flicks as movies like Alien(s) , Thelma and Louise is a defining chick flick . The Magdeline Sisters. Gloria - the original with Gena Rowlands. a great flick.
I did enjoy The Long Kiss Goodnight - that had things being blown up everywhere .

WELL, that was an awesome movie! I was really surprised when my sister made me watch it. I'll have to remember to put hat on my "to buy" list.
Matchmaker is a really great movie with Janeane Garofalo. Now, that one I DO own! LOL.
Dirty dancing is still my personal favorite.
Patrick Swayze looks like such a friggin dork with those pants...but I still enjoyed it. "Nobody puts Baby in a corner." squeeee!

I liked Hitch and The Notebook, I cried a bit for that one. lol.

Joc, you're terrible! 
I'd say Dirty Dancing is a guilty pleasure of mine.
Say Anything with Ione Skye and John Cusack is another good one.
French Kiss with Kevin Klein and Meg Ryan and *be still my beating heart* the dreamy Jean Renault. (I know, I don't know what it is, he does it for me)
A Fish Called Wanda is one of my all time favorite comedies, but that's really not a chick flick.
Little Women was awesome.
someone mentioned Fried Green Tomatoes... that was an OK movie... the book was even better.
The Color Purple is an awesome chick flick.
Oh, and I have to add the Australian movie... Muriel's Wedding
Oh and one last one.... Bend it Like Beckham with Kira Knightley

Of course I love all the standards (Sleepless in Seatlle, You've Got Mail, Say Anything, The Notebook, Dirty Dancing; French Kiss) but I also like "A Walk in the Clouds" with Keanu Reeves. Hm. 
I love The Color Purple, but I think it transcends the "chick flick" venue.
I love all sort of movies: classics, musicals, horror, sci fi, action/adventure...as long as the are good!
