    Excellent addition - this should definitely be included. Another variation is where the guy loses his girlfriend, realizes his loss and makes himself more attractive (since the actor is already handsome, more attractive = more sensitive and better dressed = wussing out) in order to get her back. Sometimes he gets her back (when her character is perfect) and sometimes he finds a better chick (who has probably helped in his transformation to wuss) who BTW the audience was rooting for all along.

    Not a chick flick. Chick flicks are about feelings and perfect guys, not about humor and brilliant one-liners. You could possibly argue that this is a parody of a chick flick, but I think it is more of a fairy tale parody.

    Don't know if this qualifies as a chick flick or not but I think it has all the ingredients. Garden State is a really good movie.

    Does Chasing Amy count as a chick flick?

    Why do people keep mentioning Mean Girls? That is not a chick flick by any means. It's a teen comedy...

    dude, Scarface is totally a chic flick. Totally.

    What's more chic flickish than a sister throwing herself naked at her cocaine overdosed brother and then shooting him ...only to get shot to death moments later herself. Tony totally went on a rampage after that to avenge his sisters death!

    Very touching. Brought tears to my eyes.

    I'm not embarassed by my choice of movies, because I think everything is simply a matter of different tastes, but some chick flix I enjoy:
    A Walk to Remember
    Say Anything
    The Cutting Edge

    Per Rocketman95:

    "Someone Like You (Hugh Jackman's character is my hero)"

    Agreed- I like Ashley Judd's character doing the cheer-outstanding.

    My favorite girl - chick flick- "As Good as it Gets"

    Chick flicks I own:

    Titanic
    Pride and Prejudice
    Wimbledon (it's borderline but it does have a romantic storyline)
    Love Actually
    Garden State (borderline but again it's a romantic dramedy)
    Moulin Rouge
    Can't Hardly Wait (more of a teen flick but it does have JLH)

    Others I like:
    Clueless
    A Walk to Remember
    Jerry Maguire (another borderline one but has "chick" moments)
    Ever After
    High Fidelity
    Notting Hill
    Serendipity
    About a Boy
    Nine Months
    Runaway Bride (not the greatest but a guilty pleasure)
    Steel Magnolias (yeah I went THERE)
    Sleepless in Seattle
    You've Got Mail
    A League of their Own (qualifies because it's all about women)

    That's all I can think of right now.

    Agree on The Cutting Edge
    Love, Actually
    In Her Shoes.

    And I also like Fried Green Tomatoes...but that might be because I actually know Ms. Masterson a little

    Deal is I am a community theater actor (not a great talent but o.k for an amateur)...and really bad acting is painful for me to watch. So if I have a choice between a dialog driven chickflick or an explosion driven man movie with really, really bad acting to sit through. I will go with the chickflick.

    I haven't seen "The Notebook" on here yet. That is a GREAT movie.

    I like A Walk to Remember, if it counts, as well as Mean Girls.

    Thirteen going on 30 was alright. How To Lose a Guy in Ten Days is also pretty good. Sleepless in Seattle count(probably not)? What about Breakfast Club?

    Hitch is on right now.

    I'd never seen it before. It's actually not bad.
