attention, everyone!

So my friend Kristina is having a girls' night Friday and I think I'm going to bring a video. The question is, which one? And so I pose the following question to you all

mean girls.

it's not really a chick flick, but it's hilarious.

[jazzydutchgirl]

Ooh, that's a good one. I've never seen it and I've heard nothing but good things.

i don't really know because chick flicks aren't my fave type of movie, but newsies is apparently really awesome. i've seen it about a total of 1.5 times so far. christian bale is supposed to be very hot and i guess he has sexy hair. so says the girls at adrienne's bachelorette party.

I've seen Newsies far too many times. Carrie was obsessed at Hope. This is how I know that I share my birthday with national Newsies day. Scary.
But yes, Christian Bale is rather good-looking. And his hair is terrific.

I wasn't obsessed. I think that's a bit overkill. And, for the record, I haven't seen Newsies in a long time.

My vote is for Pretty Woman. After all, what hooker doesn't wish she could have a prince scale the wall for her?

You were obsessed. There were times you watched that movie more than once in a day. And played the soundtrack at least once. It was a short period of obsession, but obsession it was. :-p

I'm not chick, but this is way too much of a film-geek post not to respond. And we all know I'm a film geek. So my $.02:

Modern:
-Love Actually
-Say Anything
-Notting Hill

Classic:
-Love Story
-An Officer and a Gentleman

[jazzydutchgirl]

Thanks, film geek!
Sad part, I've only ever seen Notting Hill out of your list. Now I just have more to check out sometime!

As a guy who has female friends, I've been forced to watch Love Actually many a time. Apparently it's just SO true and stuff. And about love. And they throw in some Christmas, too, so it's all warm and fuzzy in a real-world way.

So given the statistics, it would win my vote for "Best Chick Flick"

[jazzydutchgirl]

I finally decided on mine, by the way:

Little Women - I read most of Alcott's fiction before I was 12 and have always had a soft spot for those books. The 1994 version with Winona Ryder and Kirsten Dunst has always been a favorite.

Pride and Prejudice - last year's version with Keira Knightly. Finally got around to seeing it last month and it was tremendous! I'd take that to Kristina's if she hadn't seen it the same time I did. :-p
