WhitneyWatching Chick Flicks

Chick flicks were once known as "Women's Pictures." Essentially, a chick flick is a movie where the main focus is that of the female character versus the male character. The men play the secondary roles, basically.
Most chick flicks involve a main romantic interest, tragedy, an idyllic plot, or some mix therein, which is where they appeal to most females. Personally, I love a good chick flick, even though I am not always a girly girl. It's hard to not like them, when there is almost always a happy ending, except of course in the tragedies.
You'll find that in most cases, male viewers are not interested in these movies, as they prefer action, mystery, and suspense plots, but that doesn't mean that once they see the movie, they won't like it in the end.
Chick flicks make great date movies, as long as the female wants to see the particular movie. I know I've swung a few chick flicks during dates. My boyfriend even enjoyed "He's Just Not That Into You," and I know a number of males who have enjoyed "Knocked Up." It's possible for a male to enjoy a chick flick, but if you give them he option of an action movie or a romantic story, they'll more often than none pick the action movie.
The main thing that should be remembered in regards to chick flicks, is that they're not all sad and sappy, you can have comedy chick flicks that just so happen to have a main romance interest, such as with "How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days" and "40 Days and 40 Nights."
Some of the best chick flicks include:
* "Erin Brockovich" which focuses on the female character as a strong, leading role.
* "Notebook," "A Walk to Remember," and "Nights in Rodanthe" are all Nicholas Sparks books made into movies.
* "The Bridges of Madison County"
* "Serendipity"
* "Runaway Bride"
* "Calender Girls"
* "Titanic"
* "Sweet Home Alabama"
* "Pretty Woman"
* "Bridget Jones' Diary"
* "Sleepless in Seattle"
* "While You Were Sleeping"
* "Steel Magnolias"
* "Sweet November"
* "I Am Sam"
* "Under the Tuscan Sun"
* "My Big Fat Greek Wedding"
* "Romeo and Juliet"
* "Legally Blond" Series
