My addition for #11-The Stepford Wives-Robo-women take revenge!
(Just kidding,guys!)

My opinion(whether you care or not.) Most "chick flicks" are over the top,
sappy,and boring.I would rather see a David Lynch film(does Blue Velvet
qualify as a chick flick?),Pulp Fiction,or Robo-Cop 2.

The Valley of the Dolls sounds promising,though.

I'm with you, Catus. I don't do well with maudlin pandering and transparent feel-good preciousness. Fight Club, Ghost Dog and On the Waterfront are more my kinda thing.

Hey! I liked Thelma & Louise!
(them bitches fuck shit up)

The original 'Sabrina' is a great film. Bogey and Audrey Hepburn--how could you possibly beat that?

Audrey Hepburn is so dreamy...

But pretty much everything else on that list sucks a whole lot.

Perhaps I should see Thelma & Louise. Bitches fucking shit up rates high in my criteria for good entertainment.

ghost dog = awesome.

bitch flicks i like:

joy luck club
romeo & juliet
bram stoker's dracula - a love story that spans centuries? sweet.
the bride - even Sting couldn't ruin this movie...i loved it.
breaking the waves. unfuckingbelievable.
true romance - you're SO coooool

i'll have to think of more..ima leavin soon.

greeneyes-I call them "warm & fuzzy" movies.I want a movie to leave me chilled,
disturbed,and puzzled(and needing to sleep with a "fuzzy" comfy blanky for a month!)

I agree about Sabrina.Audrey Hepburn is always dreamy.

CG, you're the only person who's ever agreed with me on that account. Can you go here with me? Ghost Dog is On the Waterfront.

to bad nobody else thinks it's a contender.

i feels ya though.

'80s chick flick: LIQUID SKY. Main character repeatedly says: "I kill with my cunt."

In re Peeps's Ghost Dog hypothesis:

Interesting. Please propound.

And people don't like 'Ghost Dog'? Since when?

"You wanted to know who and what I am? I'm a killer. I kill with my cunt. You can write about it in Midnight Magazine or National Inquirer. It's gonna be the new sensation..." -Margaret from LIQUID SKY

"This pussy has teeth. No one should fuck me ever."

I have it on VHS, DVD AAAAAND an old homemade tape that was dubbed three times in 1983. Oh, and I have the soundtrack on vinyl.

SMACKDOWN.

I lurve Gone With The Wind though... I'll have to agree on that. Oh, and The Valley of the Dolls, but Russ's "Beyond" trumps that by oodles.

woot.

CG-I agree with you about Bram Stoker's Dracula.It meets all my criteria and it's very romantic.

Coppola's version is very true to the book,as well,and even included some things Stoker decided to leave out-the cowboy character is one.And Gary Oldman was perfect.Is'nt he always?

I had a working script of Dracula,and lent it to a friend.I never got it back.
(never lend out irreplacable things!)

I also liked the Joy Luck Club.

I do'nt think of Thelma and Louise as a "chick flick."It's a movie about two tough,adventurous,crazy(driving off a cliff is a little crazy)people who just happen to be "chicks".

Liquid Sky fits into two categories-Weirdest killer chick flick,and one of the weirdest SF movies ever made.

A classic!

still haven't seen it.

and fucking netflix dropped it off my waiting list over a month ago, saying it isn't available any more.

i should've just rented it a decade ago when i first saw it in this awesome (now defunct) video store. they also hade pink flamingos, the begotten, salo, and many others i am forgetting.

man was i pissed when they closed. i wish they had a movie sale, but they just closed up shop & never returned.

Ghost Dog and OtW share themes — the potential for magnanimity and redemption in an average joe, e.g. The proponents have interesting parallels, also. Both are warrior figures of a sort. Both keep pigeons. I think that Ghost Dog is recycled Brando. Is it too great a stretch?

Top chick flicks:

10) The devil in Miss jones
9) Alisha Klass meets Seymour Butts
8) Inside Sex #163
7) Shane's World #5
6) Dickman and Throbbin
5) Behind the Green Door
4) Logjammin'
3) Booty and the beast
2) Best of "I'm here to fix the cable"
1) Weapons of Ass Destruction

Very interesting. It's been years since I've seen OTW. I'll have to give it another look before I decide about that one. But I can see the parallels you're talking about. Hmmm.

Porkio

You forgot Backdoor Bride.

I drove 80 miles to see Liquid Sky in
the theater when it came out.
"Where's the drugs?"

On The Waterfront?
I just remember too much Bernstein.

The Piano.

Like Water for Chocolate.

The Piano=Holly Hunter's ass.

The only good point.

And the arrival of Anna Paquin.

Dude, her ass is not that big.

DG

I heard music when I saw it.

Why did the song, "beans, beans the magical fruit ..." suddenly come to mind?

DG

A Walk in the Clouds, Sleepless in Seattle, and You've Got Mail all make me cry...
they all remind me of my dead girlfriend, who I fed to the woodchipper after she made me watch them...

A Walk in the Clouds belongs in the worst movies ever list.

That was my first credit.

You've Got Mail belongs on the worst ever list as well.

Porkio,I do'nt blame you for shredding your girlfriend after that one; Not guilty by reason of induced insanity.

It's in the water...

What's in the water?

Shredded copies of the movie,or Porkio's shredded girlfriend?
