Chick flick Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia - Cite This Source The term chick flick is slang for a movie that appeals mainly to women or young girls, either by design or popular consensus. While the term is relatively new – dating back to that bumper crop of women's movies in the 1980s and 90s that included classics like Beaches, Pretty Woman and Ghost – the concept of movies designed to appeal specifically to women has existed since the early days of cinema and has been known by other colloquial terms, including "women's pictures". One key element of chick flicks is a respectable female lead struggling with a romantic predicament. Another prevalent theme centers around the close relationships among female friends. Due to the focus on romance or relationships, chick flicks are typically categorized as romances or romantic comedies. Several chick flicks have been patterned after the story of Cinderella or other fairy tales (e.g. The Holiday, The Princess Diaries, A Cinderella Story, Ever After, Pretty Woman and Roman Holiday); a large number are adapted from popular novels and literary classics. White Oleander IS a chick flick. I'll fight you for it. =P |

THE PRINCESS BRIDE. - possibly the greatest of all time. Muriels Wedding....a classic. ...Romeo and Juliet.. Oh and basically any of the old classics with Humphrey Bogart and miss Ava Gardner.. ....I love it. |

Pride and Prejudice. Not the one with Keira Knightley. The A&E original mini series.
The Notebook. I read both books before watching the movies. <3 Honourable mentions go to: Love and Basketball Sommersby Legends of the Fall |

If The Princess Bride is a chick flick, then I guess I have a favourite chick flick.
I could see White Oleander being one for sure... but the Breakfast Club is far from a chick flick. |
