"As Good As It Gets" is as much a comedy as it is a romance, to me...it's really hilarious. I love that movie. I agree with "Jerry MaGuire" as well...it's one of those movies that I enjoy for reasons I can't really explain.

No such thing as a "chick flick" in my book, just good movies and bad movies.

I don't really believe in the " chick flick" thing either, I just put it in the title because SOME guys can't be honest about romantic movies. Ya know, it's like admitting they enjoyed Shakespear in Love,( which is another one of my favorites) is like admitting they have emotions like a woman, or something.
* High Fidelity * Untamed Heart * Chasing Amy * My Best Friend's Wedding( I know, it's a Julia Roberts film, but Cameron Diaz and Rupert Evertt were so good.) |
i never saw Titanic....i get this stubborness goin', wherein i WON'T see a movie because it is sooooo hyped and so massively praised by the general public....it's an entirely different thing if a movie is raved about critically...it's some kind of snobbery i'm sure....anti "everybody's doin it, seein' it, lovin' it...." heh heh
i know i've missed out on some good movies because of this, but i can always rent them. :) |
"My Best Friend's Wedding" -- now THAT is a romantic comedy, people. :) Great, great movie...though not necessarily realistic. Cameron Diaz and Julia Roberts are both fighting over this guy? Yeah, right.

I love Romantic type movies here's a few that I really enjoy.
Jerry Maguire (1996) Jerry Maguire: I love you. You... complete me. Dorothy Boyd: Shut up. Just shut up. You had me at "hello." When Harry Met Sally... (1989) Harry Burns: I came here tonight because when you realize you want to spend the rest of your life with somebody, you want the rest of your life to start as soon as possible. Beautiful Girls (1996) Regarding Henry (1991) Manhattan (1979) Party Guest: I finally had an orgasm, and my doctor said it was the wrong kind. Isaac Davis: You had the wrong kind? I've never had the wrong kind, ever. My worst one was right on the money. To Catch a Thief (1955) Grumpy Old Men (1993) Talk of the Town, The (1942) Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf? (1966) Martha: You make me puke. George: That wasn't a very nice thing to say, Martha Frank Capra is my favorite director of this type of Genre his stories have so much in them not just Romance but it's a treat to see some of my favorite actresses Jean Arthur,Joan Fontaine and Barbara Stanwyck falling I love with the everyday men like Jimmy Stewart,Clark Gable,Gary Cooper and Cary Grant. Arsenic and Old Lace (1944) It's a Wonderful Life (1946) Meet John Doe (1941) Mr. Deeds Goes to Town (1936) It Happened One Night (1934) Mr. Smith Goes to Washington (1939) |
Leon, Sleepless, Bridget Jones', Jerry Mag, Princess Bride, Annie Hall, Something About Mary, and Crouching Tiger (Leaving Las Vegas is probably my favorite)
I'm a sucker for chick flicks |
we've discussed john hannah recently (Sliding Doors)...talk about a romantic fella, we all fell in love with him. his was one of the most romantic/lovable roles i can think of. now which one of these smilies represents "warm and fuzzy all over"?:p ?
and i liked Great Expectation's but Ethan Hawke just has a smidgen too much of the "grunge element" to float my boat. not that "grunge" is bad- ethan is just missing something. uma would probably disagree. FYI; "uma" means "horse"- - - horse thurman......sounds like a boxer.:D |
again I say," Sliding Doors.":D-best romantic movie.
|
Actually...L.A. Story, if you count it.
|
I'd say "Good Will Hunting" would have to be somewhere up there. It's very subtle...but I found it very interesting. He just wasn't willing to say what she wanted him to...and she kept at it. She was willing to do whatever it took, it seemed, despite the way he acted. Whether or not that's to be admired remains to be seen, but I thought it was interesting.

goodwill hunting?....ughhhh...it's just that Matt Damon is so horsefaced....bleck.
but i know we all have our favorites. i see that sades listed High Fidelity...i'd definitely have to add that one to my list too.:p and LBJ! i've been too afraid of Virginia Woolf to consider "Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf" a romantic movie - but i guess it is. their relationship/romance? just scared the sh*t out of me. :eek: |
I don't know if you would consider it a chick flick, but I always get sappy when I watch Mr. Holland's Opus.
|
Good, I'm not the only one that does. :D
I would say that yes, Mr. Holland's Opus could be a good chick flick if you get the right girl to sit down and watch it with you. Personally, I don't find movies that girls find to be chick flicks...chick flicks. I mean yeah, it might have a toucy moment, but it's overshadowed by poor acting, or a miscast. |
i've never agreed with the term "chick flic", but i always know what people are referring to, generally, when they use that term.
