Chick Flicks it's OK for guys to like

[Interpol Shrimper]

All the recent chat about the SitC movie has made me think what "chick flicks*" are acceptable to us males.

Over the years, I've seen a fair few of them (that's what having a Cineworld £10 a month cinema pass did for you) and there are definitely certain ones that men can enjoy.

Off the top of my head, I'd have to say some of my best ones are: -

Muriel's Wedding
One Fine Day
Sleepless in Seattle
The Holiday

And even begrudgingly as I so wanted to hate it, Love Actually.

* - before the thread diversion starts, "chick flick" means the regular meaning of it, not an excuse for people to wax lyrical about some of the more "specialist" films they enjoy! ;)

I'd disagree with Stepford Wives, which is supposed to be satire, Charlies Angels; and Fever Pitch which is not really a chick flick.

ps I liked 50 first dates.

This film is awesome. Girls love it. It's now my dream to go to Milwaukee and just walk into a bar and see what happens.

If you're ugly (i.e. Chadded) this is probably a good idea too.

I know loads of guys that have seen the Bridget Jones films and grudgingly enjoyed them, even found them quite funny!

I have to admit to this :'(

Stardust is very good, I have to say.

I tell you wasn't isn't good though. Anything with Jennifer Lopez in. Jesus wept, if I ever have to watch her mumbling her way through a script so hackneyed that Coronation St would reject on the grounds that it was a bit weak, I'll beat myself into the warm embrace of unconciousness.

I have to admit I quite liked Love Actually, there was another one I was made to sit through once. It had Lindsay Lohan and McFly in it, that was ok but mainly because Lohan was still fit back then.

I've seen the first Bridget Jones film and didnt really like it much so didnt bother with the second.

Not the list of chick flicks I was expecting.

mainly because Lohan was still fit back then.

The demise of Lohan from magnficently breasted sex kitten to pallid, skeletal crack whore is, I think, one of the depressing things I've ever seen.

i thought coyote ugly was a bit of a chick flick but a decent film. not mentioned on that list tho.

Mean Girls is a great film if only for Lindsey Lohan, agree with stardust too, watched it on a plane last Christmas expecting to hate it but it wasn't too bad.
