Sort of off topic, but I did a production of Steel Magnolias last spring and was amazed at the number of men who attended - and enjoyed it.

bridesmaids

The Descent

Thelma and Louise

Bridesmaids

Death Proof

Mean Girls

I don't know. I don't think Arnold, Stallone, Statham or Willis have made any chick flicks. But I watched this movie once with my wife, right after were married. I laughed a lot. Does this count as a chick flick?

If that counts as a chick flick, then I am changing my answer from above, to "Death Proof".

I Didn't know that counted....

I can honestly say that whore isn't a chick flick where as Pretty Woman is. If you can't figure out the difference not much I can do to help you.

does clueless count? i haven't seen it in years, but i seem to remember thinking it was pretty sharp & clever.

edge of seventeen might squeeze in here too, and i thought that was a really fun & very well done

I enjoyed the John Travolta/Zak Efron Hairspray. Here are at least five chick flicks I liked.

5. Daughters of The Dust

4. Bring It On

3. Election

2. Hairspray 07

1. Enchanted

haha... yeah. you caught me. Just throwing out my disgust that PRETTY WOMAN is considered a romantic film.....women have got their priorities all fucked up.... Why do they admire that?


anyways, WHORE is about a chick... maybe that counts

I don't know if any of the actors you mentioned were in any chick flicks, Kindergarten Cop is probably the closest Arnie has got, but if it's manly men in chick movies you want, I'd say Mel Gibson in What Women Want is a good shout.

Unless there are home recordings to be released titled: "Gût HAUSEKEEPING"

I love Steel Magnolias.

I wouldn't label it as a 'chick' movie, but anywho..that's my pick.

I looked up examples of "chick flicks" on Wikipedia and didn't like any of those. So I went through my movie collection and found one that could kinda-sorta fit into that category.



Eat Drink Man Woman (1994) - It's also great food porn.

i overlooked a pretty obvious choice (at least for me).

some of kelly reichardt's movies could definitely be considered chick flick material. wendy & lucy, meek's cutoff, certain women (which i haven't seen, but based on what i've heard would fit on this list).

Cool. I'll check out the two of those. As for KILL BILL. ...it's shamelessly ripped off from about 4 different and better films

they're both pretty good...i've always had a crush on ingrid bergman. it's nice to see her as an older lady. 'interiors' is very much woody allen 'doing' ingmar bergman. 'interiors', 'husbands and wives' and 'another woman' are straight bergman riffs...it's a heavy watch (as is 'autumn sonata'). very stark. as pretty to look at as it is to watch. whoever the cinematographer was deserves a lot of credit...

there's not much tarantino that isn't a rip-off...i still like it.

i was hoping to include only movies written or directed by women (they're either hard to come by or just not my taste)...i thought of 'wendy and lucy', and while it definitely has a feminine sensibility about its craft, i didn't really think of it as a 'chick movie'. there was nothing about it that communicated (to me) any distinctly feminine emotions or character traits. it felt very asexual to me.
