Her challenge, and I had chosen to accept it-was to post on Good Chick Flicks! Yaani Chick flicks even guys could watch and like. Now such an arduos task..I've been rummaging thru my memory for a while to come up with these list. I decided to go via mushy route and chose what flicks appealed to me in a manner that I myself would be a sucker for in real life.
Disclaimer: u have to turn on your mushy side for this post!
So here we go! Not in any particular order:
Jerry Maguire
"you had me at hello"
"You complete me"
WOW think of what state of mind you must be in for that to make total sense!
If that ain't love, I don't know what else is.
An Officer and a Gentleman
I was a sucker for this flick. First it was long and i love long movies...and i fell for that whole "love lift us up where we belong" routine...
Jason's Lyrics
That washing off the feet by the lake...I gave that marks. Any cute pedicured toes out thereI can wash?
Ghost
Two bodies entwined while playing in clay pretending to be doing pottery. And that Unchained Melodies song playing..." my darling...ive hungered for your kiss......"
And Demi Moore and that One-Eyed crying....
Coming to America
Cammon it was a sweet movie and funny too...happy ending with the Prince getting his true love! And the girl getting her prince!
Save the last dance
So totally not just a chick flick...and the killer soundtrack...a modern version of Jungle Fever
Titanic
Oh this is so a CHICK FLICK it hurts.(sink the bloody ship already!) But that line of ati "Promise me something Rose..and promise me you will never let go of that promise"
Guess it does make it in the cut unfortunately
Eternal Sunshine of a spotless mind
I totally yawned through this one...but i so digged the fact that even after erasing someone from your mind you are destined to end up together!
Pretty Woman
Yup makes the cut- a classic.
When a Man Loves a Woman
Probably my best Romantic movie of all time. You do know Meg Ryan was the Queen of romantic movies...but here she delivered.If she ever deserved an oscar it was right here. I think even When Harry Met Sally makes the list.
Sleepless in Seatle perhaps as well...but it was too too boring. But cute idea!
50 First Dates
I think after Meg Ryan comes Drew Barrymore in this genre..and if I was to pick my fav of all time it would have to be this one. Maybe cause of cheap humor!
English Patient
This was also a classic...woiye and she died on him!
My Fair Lady
Now I have never watched the classics like Casablanca and Gone with the Wind which apparently rule this field. So i f i was to chose a classic this would be it...plus the songs were good too.
So that there is my list
I here Bridges of Madison County and Notebook should also be here...you unleash your fav Chick Flick aka Romantic Movie....
I'd also like to add that Upside down kiss in Spiderman1. KarateKid2 him fighting for that ka-babe.That love triangle in Pearl Harbor.
Another Disclaimer: I may have ommitted other movies cause this aint a post Tato would normally do...but i rose up to the challenge.

LMAO@ Medusa you and I need to talk,wewe Poraro tafadhali fisi in ur own thread pris!
I see Msanii X large or is it X long (*giggles*) beat me to the top spot but ill let that one slide for reasons best left undisclosed..
*giggles*..
Ps – I told my workmate about this post and she quipped ‘how about King Kong’ a love story between a nugu and a blonde mama? I think she was thinking about a different kind of er love.mwehehe..
Moving on..
Yaay to The ‘Tato coming out of his mushy-mush mush mamushiness closet. Embrace the release and walk into the light, come lets cry into our fantas pamoja as I list my favourite romantic movies
The Notebook - *sigh* colour me sighing with longing vile I must find me some of that kind of malovings, my favourite line is when he says to the kids after they ask him to go home with them “look, this my sweetheart, im not leaving her, your mother is my home now” give me a second..
*regroups*
Sweet November – if like Acolyte, love, feelings and romance make you go into kifafa mode, you might want to skip this movie, favourite line “Do you want to be my November?”
The Lady and the Tramp – Feh! Yes its a animated but I love it, lol..will look out for this in your next post..
My Best Friend’s wedding – seems to be a popular choice for a lot of women, maybe it’s the friend turned lover situation, that’s what appealed to me the most, oh and the hilarious gay guy made for brilliant watching
Here on Earth – Top three in my all time favourite romantic movies, the shabby acting aside the message it sends across about love was enough to get a cynic like me in waru-in-the-throat mode. Highly recommended.
Great post C.P, if you ever get stuck for movies to review, may I suggest that you do saddest movies of all time – from Bambi’s moda dying to Steel magnolias *sniff*
Chias sana for taking me up on my challenge,you my friend have just earned yourself major D-shy points (sadly not redeemable at any K-street, mwehe) ill let my mother know the search is over, Ill remember you and ur unborn child, thine enemies are now mine enemies, if you ever need bodies moved/buried/burned im your gal..
Yaani..I have nothing better to do..so I'm baaaack!
Wewe Spidey, ati Love Jones was too black..nini hio?? I kent brave it!! tsk tsk..
And I agree with MovieBuff and Dshy..Notebook is a major tear-jerker..wawawa..*sniff*
And yeah, I actually thought of Lady and the Tramp too..which is why I requested an animated film post..hmm..that should be fun!
BTW- Do not, do not, do not get suckered into watching You,Me and Dupree like I was on Monday..sheesh, I want my money back!! All of it..even the dollar I donated sijui for which foundation..I cannot believe Michael Douglas came within 2 continents of that shady script..and Owen Wilson..why why why waste such comedic talent..I'm not watching anymore comedies this year..Aki afadhali I replay Redykyulas mara fifty..
wewe nick!
si i thought we agreed on a previous post that jerry maguire was a sports movie - making it a guy's movie, which can also be enjoyed by chicks?!
(miss the times when tom cruise didn't force you to hate him; jerry, a few good men, top gun, rain man)
maybe brown sugar can also make the list?
At last, a confession that even guys do like some chic flicks! I like a number of those movies you listed. I didn't get "Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind" and I'm one of the few that didn't cry over "Titanic' The singing in 'My Fair Lady" was very entertaining.
Antwone Fisher!!! And yes, 'When a Man Loves a Woman'...often overlooked but just great!
and the other one . . .name slips my mind of the two Indian women who fall in love but one is married...
Great list!I'll add it to the most romantic movies reviews list!
