Gimme your 5-Star ratings... for chick flicks
Are there any chick flicks you consider to be among the greatest of greats in the whole film universe?

Re: Gimme your 5-Star ratings... for chick flicks
It Happened One Night would be my top pick, if that counts.
After that, probably The Princess Bride and When Harry Met Sally. They're both very good. That's all I got though. Not a fan of the genre overall. |
Random Harvest (1942)
The Enchanted Cottage (1945) An Affair to Remember (1957) Sunday in New York (1963) Barefoot in the Park (1967) When Harry Met Sally... (1989) Sleepless in Seattle (1993) While You Were Sleeping (1995) You've Got Mail (1998) Return to Me (2000) Kate & Leopold (2001) Just Like Heaven (2005) The Lake House (2006) P.S. I Love You (2007) Mamma Mia! (2008) |

Chicken Little (2005) kinda fits the definition of a chick flick, doesn't it?

However Mean Girls is a chick flick and I'll give that a 5/5 for chickness. |
Oof, I have a terrible relationship with so-called ‘chick flicks’, hate them all, even the so-called good ones like Thelma & Louise. Don’t know if I’d give any a 5-star rating. I don’t know if The Favourite counts as a chick flick, but if it does, then, I guess, yeah, that.

Waitress ?
Not sure I'd label "Mean Girls" a chick flick. |
Do you want to define what you mean by "chick flick"?
Because a lot of the definitions I've seen are inherently dismissive/pejorative, which would kind of preclude them from being a "greatest film ever". |

This is why the question is inherently rigged. "Chick flick" basically means movies with plots and themes that are generally meant to appeal more to women, but not executed with enough skill to make them appealing to a broader audience (so Center Stage, a story of a ballerina navigating conflict and sex/romance in a ruthless ballet company is a chick flick, and Black Swan, a story of a ballerina navigating conflict and sex/romance in a ruthless ballet company is not a chick flick). |

I love It Happened One Night, it would easily make my top 100 and would place towards the top too. |

I could see Waitress being a chick flick. Why don't you think Mean Girls isn't a chick flick? Just curious.

Just see it more of a dark comedy, if I were to throw a label at it.
I really liked Mean Girls and watched it not too long ago and yes it was dark comedy. |

Ok, think in the Mean Girls, Mystic Pizza and Steel Magnolias veins. And MAYBE Flashdance.
