Have it freeperettes. Being a guy, the only chick flick I'll see over and over is the original Sabrina, since I never tire of seeing a young Audrey Hepburn.

I would have thought Terms of Endearment or Steel Magnolias would have made it.

I think Chicken Run did have Mel Gibson as the rooster. So I could see lotsa chicks watching it!

I take it as a good sign that I hate all these movies,that I have seen. I agree with you on Sabrina but because of Bogie not Hepburn.

Sabrina is a chick flick? No no, Bogie is in prime form in that picture.

Audrey Hepburn, though? Ugh. Not a fan.

1. PRETTY WOMAN

The story of a whore with a heart who finds romance with a rich man who frequents prostitutes?

I would think that most women would be insulted by this selection.

My wife has seen "Sleepless in Seattle" and "Sense and Sensibility" about 20 billion times.

Where's "Steel Magnolias" and "Terms of Endearment" ?

And the great "women's pictures" of the 40's.
Blossoms in the Dust
To Each His Own
Mildred Pierce

I've only ever seen one of those movies. Apparently I'm a failed chick or a movie disadvantaged chick or whatever they might call it.

What? No "Bridges of Madison County"?

I remember Al Bundy being dragged kicking a screaming to a special screening of the director's cut, with an additional 45 minutes of footage not seen in the theaters. LOL.

Did you do this wrong? Was this the list of "top ten TRASHY-chick flicks"?

I'm pretty sure my wife would disagree with some, or all, of this list.
