22. Same here
Things with Bruce Willis, Ahhhhnold, Steven Seagal, etc, leave me totally cold. I tend to go for things like "Shakespeare in Love" or "Election", or else musicals or quirky comedies like "The Producers". But my fave film is "A Man for All Seasons", which isn't exactly an action movie. I guess you might call it and the others "chick flicks", that is, if one can divide movies into only two sexes.

I'm not up enough on my lesbian porn to comment.

20. Especially when the 'guard' comes after you while you're hiding
in your mental cave, and they start shooting rockets at you just like any other sales pamphlets. Then you have to hold your breath, and come back out, reborn as a real woman, and go take on "The Man" who looks a lot like Brian Dennehey.

Which is really odd, because I usually hate Adam Sandler as much as I hate chick flicks.

23. "Girl Interrupted", "I am curious, yellow", " "Fried Green Tomatoes"
"The Color Purple"...I like a lot of foreign flicks about family life too-I usually don't watch mindless action flicks nor porn--that puts me at least one standard deviation away from most of my gender in US.

I love historical dramas and some opera. Sometimes my eyes are tired from reading and I only listen to the dvd's my wife puts on.

31. But it's not really a baseball movie
It's about getting a girl. In the end it's all about getting the girl. Don't you remember the line.

"Long, slow, deep wet kisses that last three days." That's not baseball baby. That's fundamental chick-flickedness.

35. I love good drama, as such I really don't like "chick flicks" at least not
Edited on Wed Mar-16-05 01:06 PM by Locut0s
as that term is usually defined. As Goldmund pointed out a "Chick Flick" is to women what an action packed testosterone adventure is to men. Both tend to have thin plots, thin characters, bad acting, and trite themes. That doesn't mean I'm not sometimes in the mood for something junky, sometimes I am. But I'm afraid to admit when I am in the mood for such a flick I'm far more likely to go for Terminator 2 than the latest Richard Gear film. I bet most women would rather choose the latter over the former. This says nothing about the ability of men to connect with emotional themes or the inability of women to do otherwise, it's simply movies catering to our respective base biologies. I can tell you I'd much rather watch a plain and simple Good Movie than either a "testosterone flick" or a "chick flick". A number of movies that have been listed in this thread are simply good movies and don't deserve the label "chick flick".

43. I like any "chick flick" so long as it's a good movie...
but then again, I'm a movie fan who can enjoy both "My Dinner With Andre" and "Charlies Angels" on the same weekend. Heh, I guess that last makes some of you suspect my standards for a "good movie", lol, but I'm sure some will understand.

I'd list some "chick flicks" I like, but I seldom even think of a movie in those terms, so off the top of my head, nothing even comes to mind.

I will confess to loving that movie. Sentimental value to it as well: it was my first date with my wife (going on 15 years now). It's a good movie to watch with a future spouse.

48. I like most of the ones already mentioned, and additionally...
Sleepless in Seattle

I have no problem with my testosterone levels, secure in my manhood, but I'm a movie fan and if a movie is done WELL, no matter the genre, I enjoy it.

Now, for chick flicks that totally stink as movies:

Life, or something like it, with Angelina Jolie was the worst piece of crap I've ever seen masquerading as a chick flick.

52. When Harry Met Sally
2nd Best romantic comedy EVER (the first is Annie Hall, but that's less of a chick flick, I'd say).

There's one or two others that are palatable.
