Chick Flicks

Chick-flicks. I can't even begin to count the number of times I've been asked to list my favorite chick flick films. So I've taken the time to finally do so.

These are the kind of films that contain at least 4 of these 6 criteria; a boy, a girl, a scene in which they figure out they've liked each other for some time, a kissing scene, a heartbreak, and finally, a happy ending. These films are almost always along these lines, but with all this said, we girls keep renting one after another.

Top 3 Chick-flicks

Clueless (1995)

Cher is the most popular, rich and clueless girl in her Beverly Hills high school. She decides to take on the challenge of helping others that are less fortunate then she is, and in the mean time is actively seeking a boyfriend.

Cher "This is where Dionne lives. She's my friend because we both know what it's like for people to be jealous of us."

10 things I hate about you (1999)

Cameron (a new boy in a Seattle high school) falls madly in love with a popular girl named Bianca Stratford and becomes obsessed with dating her. He convinces a rich popular boy to pay another student named Patrick Veronna to date Bianca's ill-tempered sister Kat in order for him to date Bianca.

Walter Stratford (father) "I'm down, I've got the 411, and you are not going out and getting jiggy with some boy, I don't care how dope his ride is. My momma didn't raise no foo'!"

Mean Girls (2004)

Cady is a 16-year old girl who moves to the United States from Africa and becomes part of the most popular clique in school. This friendship started out simply as a plan to take revenge on Regina George. But this plan quickly changes.

"Regardless, ex-boyfriends are just off limits to friends. I mean that's just like the rules of feminism"

We all know that life is not like the movies, especially when it comes to romance.  With this said, they do feed our imaginations and are often the stuff that dreams are made of.  Chick Flicks in particular not only entertain us but also give us some insight and perspective of relationships.  They help us to bond as girls.
