 Topic: Girlie movies
Posted: 25 June 2007 at 9:14pm |
I need some recommendations of girlie movies for next week, considering that I'll probably be going into a DVD store with three preschoolers and might not have much time to browse! I want to get out some movies that my DH wouldn't want to watch with me, I like romantic comedy (but not teen stuff like 13 going on 30; hot chick) and drama such as Legend of Bagger Vance.
I was thinking of getting out The Break Up but perhaps something set in the "Ever After" type of era... and perhaps Nicholas Nickleby but I'm not sure how that one will be.
Flow in the tide of suggestions!

The Princess Bride - if you want to borrow it I have it. I don't know if they have it in Palmy at the Video Stores.

I liked Love, Actually which surprised me coz I generally think Hugh Grant is a bit of a moron.
And I second The Princess Bride - but don't ever watch it with me coz I know all the lines! Best movie of all time!
Nicholas Nickelby is good too, but it's quite dark and depressing in places, I wouldn't really call it a 'girly movie'.

50 First Dates is a great one to watch with your DH, it's such a good movie. Love, Actually gets my vote as well. Ummmm...Empire Records (has a bit of a love story in it, kind of), Moulin Rouge, Singing in the Rain if you want something really old school! Big Fish is another good one (love Ewan McGregor). 10 Things I Hate About You. Oooh, now I want to go rent DVDs

Me too! Did you see Mandy Patinkin on Rove last year? Rove made him do the 'Hello, my name is Inigo Montoya...' line. I almost died with happiness!

Love the Princess Bride, having the song at our wedding.
The Holiday is great.
Bridet Jones 1 and 2 - for Colin Firth
Love Actually - I'm a Liam Neeson fan myself.
The Wedding Singer,
Four Weddings and a funeral,
Pride and Prejudice, Emma, Sense and Sensibility if you like period films.

Oh wow, that would have been awesome!
Apparently Rove is a huge fan as well, after Mandy did the line Rove jumped up and fully kissed him! Hilarious! But exactly what I would have done. Sigh. Such a great movie.
Mean Girls is pretty funny too, although more of a teen movie than a rom/com.

When I was at uni a hundred years ago, my girlfriends and I used to get together every Friday night and watch Dirty Dancing in someone's dorm room. It got to the point where we could recite the whole script! Then we'd put on St Elmo's Fire and marvel at how young the Brat Pack looked.
So I think Dirty Dancing is the ultimate chick flick. ;)
