LOL

I haven't seen any of the poll options.

But I have seen When Harry met Sally, and I found that to be utterly tolerable.

Oh yeah, that and Sleepless in Seattle.

When Harry Met Sally is my all time favorite girl movie - and my husband likes it. Sleepless in Seattle, however, gets a big eye roll from him. I love the ending!

Dr. Zhivago has to be one of the most romantic films of all time. Lara helps make it a guy flick too.

 

[Si modo]

Die Hard or Lethal Weapon...can't decide.

Of the ones in the poll, "All About Eve" outclasses them all. It has some of the best dialogue ever written, and the cast is superb.

I love chick flicks from the 50s and early 60s, a few all time favorites (the first four are Douglas Sirk films):

- Magnificent Obsession
- All That Heaven Allows
- Written on the Wind
- Imitation of Life
- The Best of Everything
- A Summer Place
- Rome Adventure
- Summertime

For more recent vintages: Mystic Pizza, Secret Life of Bees, and Ever After.

As for Mini Series, seconded on the A&E version of Pride & Prejudice. Others: Middlemarch, Vanity Fair, Bleak House, The Thornbirds.

Best chick flick ever?
3 Stooges go to Mars.

You people just hang with the wrong chicks.

 

[Liability]

I will cop to "Definitely, Maybe." I think Isla Fisher was shining in that one.

I also liked the Meg Ryan/Tom Hanks chick flick, "Sleepless in Seattle."

It even gave my wife and me the theme song to our marriage.

Sleepless also had a great scene involving, coincidentally, guys discussing chick flicks and gals discussing chick flicks.

Best chick flick ever?
3 Stooges go to Mars.

Abbot and Costello went to Mars and found Anita Ekberg there

A lot of chick flicks are tearjerkers. Madam X does that to me. So does City of Angels.
