OK, everybody else has a movie thread going. My turn.
I actually think we menfolk might be better at picking these out than the gals – we’re the ones who’ve had to endure them.
Without further ado, here are the ones that spring immediately to mind:
1. Steel Magnolias
2. Beaches
3. Terms of Endearment
4. Fried Green Tomatoes
Any of the aforementioned movies will have Mrs. Milo sobbing and blubbering for a good half-hour, anyway. (And this is a condition she looks forward to.) And then I’ll usually have to watch a ballgame or a movie involving someone or something being blown up, to get my testosterone back to safe levels.
Oh, I agree wholeheartedly with all those mentioned. I want to throw in any Jane Austen. Anytime the movie Persuasion (BBC version with Amanda Root) was mentioned my friend and I would look at each other and give simultaneous romantic sighs.
However, her husband would happily amputate a finger if it meant he didn’t have to sit through another Austen flick.
Sorry, pal, but your thread title just did not get me to the place your OP describes. What was the name of that Wendy O. Williams (Plasmatics) prison flick?
Clockwatchers is a good movie about the perils of temping. If you haven’t seen it, rent it when you get a chance. I wouldn’t call it a chick flick though. All of the major characters are chicks, but there isn’t a whole lot of chick stuff going on (you know, romance, tear jerking, female bonding). It’s actually a pretty wicked satire.
Dirty Dancing
Pretty Woman
Waiting to Exhale
Notting Hill
The Bodyguard
Runaway Bride
Never Been Kissed
Random Hearts
I could go on, but I won’t. I’d like to add that I’ve been forced, yes forced, to watch all of these. Although, she did go see Gladiator with me last night.
