I'm thinking of planning a chick flick night for myself and a few friends and I was wondering what movies you guys think are perfect for it. I already have the following movies:
An Affair to Remember
His Girl Friday
Casablanca
Gone With the Wind
The Devil Wears Prada
From Here to Eternity
The King and I
Roman Holiday
Breakfast at Tiffany's
The Prince and Me
Princess Diaries I and II
Wimbeldon
High School Musical I and II
Romeo and Juliet
Coyote Ugly
A Streetcar Named Desire
Any more ideas? I know that the list above is more than enough, but I was hoping for more suggestions.

I'd suggest anything with Hugh Grant in it, like Two Weeks Notice, Music and Lyrics, Love Actually, Bridget Jones' Diary, Nothing Hill, Sense and Sensibility and Four Weddings and a Funeral. Dirty Dancing is a big favourite of mine as well, as is Ghost. Hope that is of some help. Saskia

Hi Crazy_Babe, Oooooh, I love chick flick night. And while you already have a pretty eclectic selection here, I will add a couple more suggestions. Here are the ones I already recommended in the top ten thread: - Bridget Jones I+II (gotta love Mark Darcy and Daniel Cleaver fighting) - The Truth about Cats and Dogs (so sweet, so funny, I wish I were Janeane Garafalo) - Before Sunset + Before Sunrise- Pillow Talk (Rock Hudson will always have a place in my heart) - 50 First Dates (I never would have thought Adam Sandler would make such a great romantic lead, but it's really very sweet) - Adam's Rib (I always love Spencer Tracy - and I love how strong a character Katherine Hepburn is in this, too) - Two Weeks Notice (I love Hugh Grant and Sandra Bullock) - Garden State (funny, touching and the music is great) - How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days- The Dinner Game (this French comedy is not very romantic, but fabulously funny, check it out at Amazon ) - Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind (I love it and cry every time, makes you realize how intimately intertwined love and pain are) - Station Agent (beautiful film about not fitting in, about friendship and isolation - and also very funny ) - To Wong Foo, Thanks for Everything Julie Newmar (never thought Patrick Swayze could be so funny and also touching) Additionally, I think the following flicks also fit the bill: - The Holiday: it's actually quite romantic, but it's probably too hot in Sydney to really enjoy it  - Love, Actually ... I personally don't love all stories in it, but some of them are just too sweet and funny - Roman HolidayHave fun, Eva

Practical Magic is a chick flick Steel Magnolias too But then I also think "300", "The Patriot", and "Braveheart" are chick flicks  At least chicks like me.  TEEEEEJ

I want to echo Dirty Dancing. And When Harry Met Sally is always a favorite of mine!

Rachel: A moo point?
Joey: Yeah, it's like a cow's opinion, you know, it just doesn't matter. It's "moo."
Rachel: Have I been living with him for too long, or did that all just make sense?

It's not really my genre, but now and then I splurge. <G> Some favourites of mine are: The Lake House Love, Actually Two Weeks Notice 50 First Dates I know some of those have already been mentioned, but I'm adding a vote for them. And...what's the title of that one with Catherine Zeta Jones and George Clooney? I'm blanking on it, but it's a lot of fun. She surprised me in that one; I don't usually rate her as an actress. Intolerable Cruelty, that was it. (Thank heavens for the IMDB ) LabRat

Ooh . . . The Lake House! I love that one!
I'll pretty much watch any movie rated G to PG-13 with Sandra Bullock in it. She's not my absolute favorite actress, but she's good.

I absolutely love Notting Hill, Music and Lyrics, and Never Been Kissed. Apparantly I really enjoy films with Drew Barrymore, Hugh Grant, and Julia Roberts. Natascha

Sticking with some of the classics, Barefoot in the Park is absolutely wonderful.

It's another guilty pleasure of mine (right after Bad Boys II, lol): What Dreams May Come.
I don't know what about that movie gets me, but I always end up crying from like a fool from the first scene to the last. *shakes head*

Some favourites of mine are:
The Lake House
Love, Actually
Two Weeks Notice
50 First Dates
I know some of those have already been mentioned, but I'm adding a vote for them.
LabRat LabRat, glad you gave the last three a second vote, they're all great. In turn, I want to second Lake House - how could I ever forget that one? I just love Keanu Reeves and I like Sandra Bullock very much. Also, Keanu is really good looking in this film (the jeans and the sturdy boots really work for me), the story is sweet, Keanu is a babe. And yes, did I mention how cute, sweet, sexy and good-looking Keanu is? Well, you can't say it often enough. Originally posted by alcyone:

alcyone I so know what you mean. When I first read about this movie, I thought I would hate it, but I also wound up crying  Another picture which makes great entertainment for a chick flick night is Kenneth Brannagh's Much Ado About Nothing with Emma Thompson, Denzel Washington, Kenneth himself, Robert Sean Leonard (or whatever the name of Houses's best friend is) and, I admit it, Keanu Reeves. Keanu isn't especially good in it, though, I have to admit. But the film itself is great, hilarious and entertaining. Love Beatrice and Benedick and Denzel makes the prince a lot less dull than he usually is Eva
