The term can have negative connotations but I tend to believe there's nothing wrong with "Chick Flicks." Label a film as a "Chick Flick" and people will know exactly what you're describing. The following films are "Chick Flicks" with romantic storylines.
Cary Grant and Deborah Kerr star in this timeless romantic classic. Playboy Nicky Ferrante meets night club singer Terry McKay aboard a ship bound for New York. They're both engaged to others, but vow to meet again in six months at the top of the Empire State Building.
"Steel Magnolias" features a fine ensemble cast, intelligent writing, and an entertaining, though highly emotional, storyline. Shirley MacLaine, Dolly Parton, Julia Roberts and Sally Field headline the talented cast in this female "buddy" movie with a heart.
This is a classic romantic film with Barbra Streisand and Robert Redford as star-crossed lovers. The 25th Anniversary Edition DVD includes commentary from the director, and a one hour "Making Of" featurette with interviews from Barbra Streisand and Sydney Pollock.
Julia Roberts, Susan Sarandon and Ed Harris star in this compelling tale of love, divorce, and family obligations. "Stepmom" is a fairly realistic, emotional look at the ramifications of divorce when children are involved.
After finding out about her husband's infidelity during an appearance on a nationally televised TV talk show, Birdee (Sandra Bullock) packs up her daughter and heads back to her hometown - and her mother's semi-open arms. Harry Connick Jr. plays Justin, a former schoolmate of Birdee's who opens her heart to the prospect of a new love.
There's probably at least one storyline or character every woman can identify with in director Cameron Crowe's "Singles." The DVD features a few deleted scenes, production notes, and the theatrical trailer.
"Music From Another Room" begins with a 5-year old boy delivering his neighbor's baby. He grows up believing the baby he delivered is the woman he is destined to marry. 25 years later, he returns to his old neighborhood and pursues the girl he helped bring into this world.
This film was so well-received it inspired a sequel - which, unfortunately, didn't go over quite as well as expected (the sequel isn't included in this Top 10 List). Nevertheless, you can't hold the sequel against the original. "Terms of Endearment" is an amazing film that features outstanding performances by Shirley MacLaine and Debra Winger.
This 1986 tearjerker stars Demi Moore, Rob Lowe, Jim Belushi, and Elizabeth Perkins. Moore and Lowe play a couple who have a rough time dealing with commitment. Belushi and Perkins co-star as their meddling friends.
Also known as the "Wal-Mart Baby Movie," Natalie Portman and Ashley Judd star as single mothers who seem to always fall for the wrong men. Portman and Judd are fantastic, as are the supporting cast, which includes Stockard Channing and James Frain.
