"Girl's night in" with the VCR/DVD player for company: Best chick flicks of all time?

[Dodie]

Just for fun! (Inspired by my recent discovery of the work of Hugh Jackman;))

Okay. Imagine that your DH/SO is gone (traveling, working, etc.).

If you could watch any three movies (just you, in your jammies, popcorn in your lap and kleenex by your side) what would they be?

Mine:

"When Harry Met Sally"
"Sleepless in Seattle"
"Kate and Leopold" (a NEW addition as of this weekend)

I reluctantly note that Meg Ryan stars in all of them.:( Although she's not necessarily my favorite, she certainly has made quite a name for herself in this particular type of role, hasn't she?

What would your three movies be?

[adamak]

Here are my choices....

4 Weddings and a Funeral
Ocean's 11
About a Boy
Beauty & the Beast
Any seasons of Sex and the Citiy.

I heard that My Big Fat Greek Wedding is fantastic too.

[kejoda]

Now & Then
A League of thier Own
Steel Magnoilias or You got Mail

[mrsv98]

hmm...well how about

1. Steel Magnolias ("My colors are Blush and Bashful")

2. Gone with the Wind (I might be a modern woman but Rhett can sweep me up in his arms and carry me up those stairs anytime ;) )

3. Singin' in the Rain -- I love musicals so this could be Brigadoon, An American in Paris, or many others.

Now I want a movie night!

[binny]

The American President ( with Michael Douglass and Annette Benning)

Sleepless in Seattle

Youve Got mail

I *do* like Meg Ryan though lol

I would also have to add in ther Kate and Leopold too another great one!

[meeshi]

Well, let's see if I can come up with 3.

My personal favorite is "Return To Me" I LOVE that movie!
You've Got Mail
I guess my third would be Kate and Leopold since I have a movie mental block right now. :)

[Lars624]

My girlfriends and I do pajama parties like that whenever one of our DHs goes out of town.
Meeshi-I also love Return to Me....watch the DVD all the time
As far as all time chick flicks...off the top of my head.......Steel Magnolias, When Harry met Sally, Thelma & Louise, Fried Green Tomatoes, Chances Are, Four Weddings & a Funeral, Notting Hill & Jerry MaGuire.


OOPS obviously I missed the part about only three....I wasn't ever very good at following directions anyway:eek:

My list would probably include at least a few "old" movies like Funny Face or Roman Holiday (Audrey Hepburn is one of my all-time favorites) or maybe "An American in Paris" or "Singin in the Rain" (love musicals) or maybe "That Touch of Mink" (love Doris Day) or "Penny Serenade" or "Philadelphia Story" (love Cary Grant). Newer movies would include Notting Hill, Joy Luck Club, Elizabeth, and Moulin Rouge.
