Best Chick-Flicks?

princessKIM · 08-31-2007, 04:17 PM

Hi all! I'm having a husband and children-free evening tommorrow night and I thought I'd spend it watching great women's movie with my closest friends(probably with a tub of ice cream). I've already got Fried Green Totatoes on tap but can use a few more. Any suggestions? Don't let me down here ladies

It can't be a chick flick night without Steel Magnolias. Just make sure you have plenty of kleenex on hand.

Funny I was going to say Step Mom (another Julia Roberts movie with Susan Sarandon) and you will also need the kleenex for it. I think you can't go wrong with either movie. Depends on if you want a tear jerker, a comedy, a romance? Chick Flicks come in so many flavors now.

Good idea. Shirtless Patrick Swayze is always a good choice.

How To Lose A Guy In 10 Days is a good one. Lots of laughs, pretty people and there is a sweet love story in there, too!

My vote is for Hope Floats. I love Swayze without his shirt but Harry Connick, Jr. always makes me swoon in that movie! I also love Murphy's Romance. Oh, man... I'm going to have to watch one of them now.

I almost said Hope Floats but I just love the interaction with Susan Sarandon and Julia Roberts in Stepmom. Although Harry Connick, Jr is just so yummy in Hope Floats.
