From the 5/31 IMDb daily poll:
Excuse me—The Women (1939) isn’t even on the list? Feh. IMDb does know they were making films before 1985, don’t they?
The movie I thought of before I clicked the link was on the list! I’m speaking of The Joy Luck Club, by the way.
Right now it’s a virtual tie between Steel Magnolia and Beaches.
Personally, I would have gone for An Affair to Remember.
The biggest chick flick that I know of is “A League of Their Own” and it is not even on the list. As a man, I thought that it was pretty good movie but pretty damn chicky.
I am ashamed that “Pretty Woman” scored so high on the list. Is it some kind of repressed dream of that many women to go into prostitution only to be saved morally and financially by a wealthy male benefactor. Not realistic AT ALL and pretty damn sleazy if you ask me. That dirty little skank should never be a role model to any woman.
What about Gone With the Wind? I always thought that was the ultimate chick-flick.

Oh what the hell. How about “Where the Boys Aren’t.”
Or if I were to go by what I heard the MOST girls talking about then it would be “Dirty Dancing.” It seemed like every girl in my high school saw it three times and talked about incessantly and even managed to includ it in our yearbook. Plus several I knew who memorized every word. Something clicked with them there.
I nominate the film “Ladyhawke”. I never get tired of watching it again and again and . . . you get the point.
I was thinking “Thelma and Louise” before I even clicked, but I could see guys watching it maybe.
“Dirty Dancing” however, I think is the one I’ll go with. I hate most movies that are designated for “chicks” or “guys” but I can watch this one, again and again and again. Weird, no? I don’t know why, I see it’s contrived and I know that in the 1960s they didn’t listen to a weird blend of eighties/sixties music…but well, the movie has a certain je ne sais quoi.
Everybody sing!
“When I’ve got a brand new hairdo
And my eyelashes all in curl,
I float like the clouds on air do!
I enjoy being a girl.”
What, no Cannibal Women in the Avocado Jungle of Death ?!
And lest we forget:
Lilith Fair Performers, Attendees Achieve Largest Ever Simultaneous Ovulation
Terms of Endearment.
I HATED me after that movie…
Cartooniverse
I can’t believe * The Cutting Edge* isn’t on that list. Oh Well. I guess Dirty Dancing gets my vote.
Nope. Tie goes to the winner. Steel Magnolias, the ultimate chick flick. Post-1980, that is.
If we’re going to go all-time, top-o-the-list (and Eve, yes I loved The Women, {…And who wouldn’t…Roz Russell was there!)but…} let’s go with Mildred Pierce.
Joan Crawford = Chick Flick Extravaganza. That’s all.
Chick flick, classic era: All About Eve. Cocktails, fab apartments, deceit and that great dress Bette Davis wore to her birthday party. Bonus points for the guiltless smoking and fur-wearing.
Modern era: athough not chromosomally, a chick flick in the true spirit of ‘fuck this noise, I’m outta here with a buncha girlfriends getting shitfaced on the road’-Priscilla, Queen of the Desert .
Truly, Madly,Deeply - like Ghost , except, not sucking.
Chickiest chick flick I’ve ever seen: How to Make an American Quilt.
I actually got cramps watching that movie.
