BillsPride12 Posted July 24, 2017 Share Posted July 24, 2017 Sixteen Candles and Mean Girls are good movies but I can't group them in the traditional chick flick category either so I will second Just Friends Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Augie Posted July 24, 2017 Share Posted July 24, 2017 The Big Sick isn't a chick flick. Great movie though. Love, Actually should be on this list. Oh, it certainly has at least one foot on the line. I won't ruin it for anyone who might see it later, but it has many of the elements. But don't let me scare you, it's worth seeing, IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Vader Posted July 24, 2017 Share Posted July 24, 2017 You're really calling a movie about a hooker a "chick flick?" Sixteen Candles isn't a chick flick either; it's a John Hughes teen angst classic. I've decided many of you need to learn the definition of chick flick. "Pretty Woman" is without question a chick flick. If Julia Roberts is in a movie, then 90% of the time it is a chick flick. By all means though, tell us the definition of "chick flick".

Gugny Posted July 25, 2017 Share Posted July 25, 2017 Is A League of Their Own a chick flick? I never really thought of this as a chick flick but I suppose it is. It's still in my top 10. I'm on the fence with A League of Their Own, but leaning toward "no." Same with Bull Durham. A lot of the movie revolves around two people falling in love, but I consider it more of a baseball movie than a chick flick. Side note - Kevin Costner is the most over-rated actor of all time. By far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's made some excellent movies. It's not "hate" -- at least not from me -- but he seems to basically play the same role in every movie. I haven't exactly seen a great deal of range.

I haven't exactly seen a great deal of range. This is my knock on him. He's the same person regardless of character. Same monotone delivery whether he's bringing down Al Capone or playing ball with Shoeless Joe Jackson. He has landed leading roles in great movies. But that, to me, doesn't make him a great actor.

Nailed it. I never saw what the big deal was about Costner. I have many actors that I can name that I saw as overrated, but that's for another thread. I did think Costner was good in the mini-series "Hatfields & McCoys". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alright when you put it that way, I get what you are saying. The second half of "Old School" does lean that way, but I still could not label it as a chick flick.

He's made some excellent movies. I feel Tin Cup falls on the same fence as Bull Durham. Essentially a sports movie, but with an underlying romantic theme. FWIW it was the first date I had with my wife. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While I liked both of those movies, I thought the one that exceeded those was "For Love of the Game," and there are few things I find as boring as anything to do with baseball.
