Fighting for the Girls!

As much as I love watching the old action movies (if only for the likes of Tom Cruise being easy on the eye) it’s the chick flicks which i really love!

So here are Hayley’s top 5 Chick flicks…

  1. How to lose a guy in 10 days
  2. Dirty Dancing
  3. 10 things I hate about you
  4. Moulin Rouge
  5. Elizabethtown

The essential ingredients for any Chick flick are…

  • A leading lady who although is stunning (which you immediately hate her for) you can imagine her being your best friend and therefore you really want to see her fall madly and deeply in love.
  • A leading man that you want to be with for the rest of your life - whether you find him attractive or not.
  • One scene/moment in the film where your heart pounds so much as their eyes meet and you go all smushy, later on you imagine yourself being in that scene - at that moment if the door bell rings you know whoever is there better have a good excuse or be the leading man you are watching at that moment in time!
  • Some classic lines that you can repeat for years with your mates.
  • An awesome sound track that you can dance around your room to singing into your hairbrush and pouting in the mirror too. (I would like to point out that I’ve never done that)

Ray - sorry that The Prince and Me isn’t on the list, just didn’t quite squeeze into the top 5!

  1. Tom cruise is almost exactly the same height as you.

    He can have all the tooth polishing and botox he likes, he’ll always be short.

    Better than all those films is Lost in Translation, and it meets all those prerequisites. 10 Things I Hate About You get into my top 5 films anyway.

    What about Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind? ABOUT A BOY?!?

    BEAUTY AND THE BEAST????

    I really don’t think you thought this through did you.

  3. What about the Jones’ diary?
    Oh wait, you don’t like it do you!?….grrrrrrr

  5. Bridget Jones Diary:

    It’s Monday morning, Bridget has woken up with a headache, a hangover and her boss.

    Corporal Jones Diary?

    It’s Monday morning, Corporal Jones has woken up with a Bayonet, some sausages and Captain Mainwairing.

    Gosh.

  7. First of all… nothing wrong with pouting! I do that all the time! Although i concede that singing with a hair brush is mental…

    Lost in Translation is a film in which NOTHING (i repeat) NOTHING happens and yet is strangely compelling. Although ‘Deux ou trois choses que je sais d’elle’ (translation - ‘two or thre things i know about her’) is a great film by Jean Luc Goddard!

  9. Hollywood Hartwell NEVER (i repeat) NEVER capitalises his personal pronouns.

    Lost in Translation is marvellous, as you all should know.

    And waht about big Joe?

    Eh?

  11. Lost in Translation sucks hard!

    Scarlett Johansson is the only good thing about that movie!

    Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind is too good to be classed as a chick flick!

  13. Big Fat Joe has gone but who will replace him?

  14. Gareth on May 12th, 2006
  15. Big Al needs experience!!

    dont say it, just think it.

    Whats this thread about again…………

  17. Oh dear Gareth, you are so wrong (about Lost in translation being bad, and Eternal Suchine not being classed as a chick flick in the confines of this website). Remember that time you were wrong? Well it’s like that again now, only worse FOR YOU!!!

    Eternal Sunshine of the spotless mind:

    The essential ingredients for any Chick flick are…

    BULLET POINT A leading lady who although is stunning (which you immediately hate her for) you can imagine her being your best friend and therefore you really want to see her fall madly and deeply in love. (Kate Winslett - Winner)
    BULLET POINT A leading man that you want to be with for the rest of your life - whether you find him attractive or not. (Jim Carrey - not so attractive, but super fun woo)
    BULLET POINT One scene/moment in the film where your heart pounds so much as their eyes meet and you go all smushy, later on you imagine yourself being in that scene - at that moment if the door bell rings you know whoever is there better have a good excuse or be the leading man you are watching at that moment in time! (There are several of these)
    BULLET POINT Some classic lines that you can repeat for years with your mates. (can’t think of one right now to be honest, bu I’ve not seen it for a while)
    BULLET POINT An awesome sound track that you can dance around your room to singing into your hairbrush and pouting in the mirror too. (I would like to point out that I’ve never done that)(MR BLUE SKY - ELO.)

    That’s those chick flick prerequisites fully all done.
