Okay, so a couple of weeks ago my weekly ten listed my top ten worst chick flicks ever. And you ladies had some pretty strong reactions to it and some pretty varied opinions. But amidst all those opinions I’m pretty sure I got the idea that you like chick flicks. And so do I. (Just not those.)
I love chick flicks. Lots of them. There are so many amazing movies about women and for women, some about love, and some about life, that are labeled as chick flicks. And I’m not ashamed to admit that I’ve watched them more times than I can keep track of.
So with that in mind I thought I’d dedicate this week’s weekly ten to my favorite chick flicks of all time. Some are recent and some are not so recent, but they’re all pretty damn great.
10. Miss Congeniality. Oh Sandra Bullock, how I love you! It’s refreshing to watch a movie and see a woman who’s more comfortable holding a gun than she is walking in heels. She doesn’t need a man, but she gets one any way and that’s kind of great. Don’t you think?
9. Thelma and Louise. Girl power, ladies. Girl power. This is a story about friendship and fun (and felonies). Even if they do end up driving off a cliff together at the end of it, they do it together, right? Oh don’t look at me like that. It’s a fun movie.
So, those rumors circulating on the web that pancreatic cancer took Patrick Swayze’s life were not true. Thank god. We weren’t quite ready to lose the man who taught us the power of dance at a summer resort in the Poconos.
Swayze has been a part of our happily-ever-after fantasies ever since he worked that pottery wheel in Ghost (and definitely did a much better job with the ghost love story than those fools on Grey’s Anatomy) and we’ll be celebrating his life tonight by popping some 94% fat free Kettle Korn and hanging out with him, Whoopi, Demi and our DVD player.
