Saddest movie I ever saw. What happened to that T-Bird at the end brought tears to my eyes.
Can't watch SLEEPLESS again since it has Rosie O'Doughnut as the 'best friend'. Not too high on Meg Ryan either!
JULIA ROBERTS' classic turn as a prostitute in PRETTY WOMAN has picked up another accolade - the best 'Chick Flick' of all-time.
Ha! Not amongst the Palis. They were smashing Pretty Women cd's the other day after Richard GEREbil opened his pie-hole and tried to educate them on the importance of voting (claiming, of course, that he spoke for the world).
Wait! Are these chick flicks for guys or chick flicks for chicks? Or is the term chick even appropriate in this context. And how 'bout Buffy the Vampire Slayer or Scooby-Doo on Zombie Island lots of strong animated female roles in that one--thinking of Daphne.
Divine Secrets of the Ya-Ya Sisterhood, Steel Magnolias, Terms of Endearment, Message in a Bottle, Gone With the Wind....my husband would never watch any of these. But the only movie that ever made me cry was Brian's Song. Go figure!
You like Hepburn in SABRINA but not in ROMAN HOLIDAY? Or in BREAKFAST AT TIFFANY'S?
The ultimate chick flick is "Steel Magnolias" - once you've seen it, you've seen them all.
"I would think that most women would be insulted by this selection."
Me too, but I have heard many women quote from that movie. I have been told by women on several occasions that they were looking for "the farytale".
cd's - I meant DVD's.
Richard Gere and Julia Roberts ... 2 of my all time favorites ... </sarcasm off
:^)
Cant agree with ol Horseface at No.1, 'Somewhere in Time' is not on this list either?
"If you don't have anything nice to say, come sit next to me!"
"Sammy is so confused he doesn't know whether to wipe his watch or wind his butt."
"The only thing that separates us from the animals is our ability to accessorize!"
"What happened to the other four?"
"I'd rather have fifteen minutes of wonderful then a lifetime of nothing special."
I only remember one scene - where Gere takes Roberts shopping & tells the snooty salesclerk that they require major sucking up, and then says "Not me. Her."
pissant - You are the master of top 10 lists, however I can't agree with this one!
Pretty Woman #1??? YUCK - A sucessful, attractive, effete, fem man; falls in love with a swollen-lipped, wannabe prostitute. I don't get it!
LOL!
I'd much rather laugh than cry. And I do enjoy an good action or adventure story. Watched a few minutes of Steel Magnolias once and it just gave me a headache.
"I've only ever seen one of those movies"
Shows your common sense to me!
