    New Poll... Best/Worst Chick Flicks of all time

    Hokay, if you're a guy reading this, you have to "endure" them in order to get and peace and quiet in the house. If you're a woman reading this you go to them to get the kind of "emotional fulfillment" that ass-scratching clod you call a husband couldn't find with a road map and On-Star. So you decide if it's good or bad...

    I voted for Titanic - I got a soft-spot for Kate Winslet, one of the few Hollywood bombshell's who isn't all skin and bones. And the boat thing was kinda cool.
    I'll admit, I liked that movie.

    Red face Okay....

    I have to give Leonardo DiCrapio his due... he made whole generations of women "moist" with this flick. Every ad on every personals site mentioned his pimple faced scrawny butt in some shape or form. Every woman wanted a "Jack" to "save" her from her mundane, worthless, boring existence. See I personally would have wished for Jack to live and survive and see how long Puddin' loved being poor and living of his pornogrphic etchings while sleeping under bridges in shanty town. Love don't conquer much when you're cold, stravin', broke and homeless.....

    I'm abstaining. However, I do have some comments on the "chick flick" genre. I stumbled upon a chick flick that I actually enjoyed between marriages - Like Water for Chocolate, but I didn't realize there was such a substantial sub genre of the chick flick known as "food" movies. Since I've remarried, I've become aware of several such as Big Night, Chocolate, Babette's Feast, Eat Drink Man Woman, etc. Since many of them have an international "flavor", I have watched a few with the wife.

    Tough choice. I'll have to go with Titanic as the best bad film. But if this is supposed to be the worst chick flic then I vote for Beaches. Please just shoot me instead of making me watch that again.

    I also voted for Titanic, an accidentally decent movie, and I'd say that I have the opposite of a soft spot for Winslet. And while Worf is hilariously right on about Jack, I believe that is the point: she needed to get rid of both men to live, that both ends of the socio-economic spectrum would be just as stifling.

    Worfster, you're too damn funny!

    OK, I liked Titanic. Seriously now, how many us haven't stood on a chair, rail, whatever, spread out our arms and proclaimed, "I'm on top 'o the world!" (even if alcohol was a major contributor)? C'mon, be honest...

    If you're going to do a worst list as well, how can you not include such gems as Fried Green Tomatoes, that YaYa Sisterhood flick, or the current Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants. In fact, anything with "Sisterhood" in the title should receive automatic inclusion into the ChickFlick hall of fame.

    And no, I didn't see any of the aforementioned movies. That's what dual receiver Sat's were designed for.

    This is why I love this forum. I never got that point... that in order for her to "live" she had to be shed of both these cats. Hmmm wow. I'm being serious here... that is an interesting point I never saw. Thanks...

    OK, this topic is good enough to make me want to butt in.

    Titanic was too funny to vote for. I was in a betting pool to guess how many teenaged girls would be sitting in their seats crying after the movie ended. I picked 20 and I was too low!

    I voted for Terms of Endearment because it was so excruciating that I remember I was counting how many Jujubees were stuck to the floor near my seat.

    You should have added Steel Magnolias to the list. Even my wife couldn't stand that one. I perked up when Julia Roberts got sick and died (she took forever to croak) because maybe it just might be contagious and kill off the rest of the cast.

    Terms of Endearment is on my all-time sh*t list. Gawd, I hate that movie! Other choice comments I've posted before ...

    Worst Movies?

    I've also vowed never to watch Beaches because of that horrible Bette Midler song, You R The Sludge Under My Bed Pan or something along those lines.

    Never saw Romeo and Juliet either, but the woman who played Juliet was pretty hot (in a rather twisted way) as Mrs. Bates in Psycho IV -- another chick flick that you left off the list!

    Titanic I did not mind at all. I thought in general it was a good movie (but definitely not a classic, or a movie that deserved to win that boatload of Oscars), although it kinda surprised/disturbed me when I saw that whole chick cult develop around the movie. There were women who would line up and watch the movie in packs, night after night, week after week. That phenomenon even freaked my wife out because she thought that Leonora DiCaprio was a bit too androgenous for her comfort. (Sad but true ... if it was Keanu Reeves, she might have joined the others!) But, I guess it's no different than all of the fanboy and geeks who watched Star Wars over and over during its original theatrical run.

    Worf, I'd have to say, you're a brave man taking on the whole Titanic cult! Too funny!

    I don't know if these are chick flicks or "date movies" or what not, but I also liked When Harry Met Sally and Sleepless In Seattle. You Got Mail sucked.

    NO, NO, NO the poll is not offensive to me at all, although some of those movies are repulsive - I cringe at the the thought of Pretty Woman, Beaches, etc.

    I had a momentary lapse of machissmo accompanied by an embarassing moment of introspection when I realized that when my wife and I rent movies together, my choices always win out -- when she puts in her request, I almost always come back with something different; when she goes to rent a movie, I rarely watch her selection; the few times I do bring home what she asked for, I make sure I have something to watch in the other room. I was trying to think of something we could watch together, but I didn't find it on that stinkin' list!

    Oh well, that sentiment has passed just in time for the weekend! Thanks for the exorcism.

    Pretty Woman is the worst, most embarassing "Cinderella Story" ever! I hate to say Gone with the Wind is the best of the worst just because it's a classic so I'll give it some more thought. (I have to admit that I did sit through all of Titanic and I was actually interested in the story as it unfolded. It didn't hurt that a big-assed ship went down though.)

    Thanks for explaining, it's not that I'm scared of offending folks, I just like to do it ON PURPOSE when I do. I'm very good and renting my sig other "chick flicks" and NO I don't watch em with her either... I come up and kill electronic bad guys on my puter while she's downstairs bawlin her eyeballs out...

    I voted Titanic because I liked it. House of Flying Daggers? I guess it was a love story, but I wouldn't define it as a chick flick.

    I think my favorite chick flick is "The Notebook"
    Audio Physic Avanti IV w/upgraded mids and crossover
    Emotiva UMC-1
    Emotiva XPA-3
    Peachtree Audio iNova
    Rega Brio-R

    Sony PS3
    BAT VK-D5se

    You're going to hate this but I liked Pretty Woman quite a lot -- though I did get into a rwaging debate with a feminist on it. Cool. Maid in Manhatten is the watered down goody goody version.

    I don't really cosnider them chick flicks anyway since guys are int he relationship as well. But I suppose the ones that I could watch several times are (well off the top of my head)

    When Harry Met Sally
    The Goodbye Girl
    Oscar and Lucinda
    The English Patient
    It Could Happen to You
    The American President
    Secrets and Lies
    Breaking the Waves
    Remains of the Day

    And the best romance film of recent memory -- Leaving Las Vegas (which made my top ten list of the 1990s).

    i'm placing a write-in vote for "Sorority House Massacre II". It meets the "chick flick" criteria of a: being primarily concerned with the affairs of females and b: the females must collaborate to overcome adversity.

    so I think it's a valid chick-flick entrant.

    plus it has a LOT more "life-giving appendage viewing" than any of the others you mentioned.

    Dude, on this thread you are so wickedly on!

    Your comment about the tonnage of "cellulite laden fat" was something I thought about bringing up, but ultimately opted against. To some degree, I have to concur with your observation about the "titanic" heft of the Titanic nation. Theater owners everywhere that were screening Titanic must have fought bitterly amongst themselves for those precious few remaining stashes of Bonbons, Raisinettes, and buttery popcorn flavoring!

    If you somehow disappear from our ranks, we'll all know that you "took one" for the boys and forevermore honor your sacrifice!
