This is the rest of the list I started yesterday of my favorite chick flicks. If you haven't seen these or haven't seen them lately, check them out.
5. "An Officer and a Gentleman" (1982), Debra Winger stars as Paula Pokrifki, a working class girl who attends functions on a nearby Naval base in hopes of meeting an officer in training. Richard Gere is Zach Mayo, an young officer in training to be a Naval aviator.
4. "Green Card" (1990), Gerard Depardieu stars as Georges Faure, a man who enters into a marriage of convenience with Bronte Parrish, played by Andie MacDowell. When they are forced to move in together to prove to immigration that the marriage is valid, the situation changes. Depardieu is so charming as the oafish Georges it is impossible not to fall in love with him.
3. "Pretty Woman" (1990), Julia Roberts is Vivian Ward, a street walker who is hired by Edward Lewis (Richard Gere) to be his escort for a week while he conducts business in Los Angeles. A modern fairy tale for those who still want to believe in fairy tales.
2. "Dirty Dancing" (1987), Frances "Baby" Houseman (Jennifer Gray) is spending the summer with her family at a vacation resort. She meets and falls in love with the dancing instructor, Johnny Castle (Patrick Swayze). The dancing in this movie is reason enough to love it. This movie is fun to watch at a sleepover with mature teenagers.
1. "Steel Magnolias" (1989), The story of a close knit group of friends who regularly congregate at Truvy's Beauty Shop. It stars Julia Roberts, Sally Fields, Dolly Parton, Shirley MacLaine, Daryl Hannah and Olympia Dukakis. The women are from different backgrounds and are at different stages of their lives but they are bound by their friendship. This really is a woman's movie, the male characters are pretty much in the background. But there are good performances by Tom Skerritt and Sam Shepard. This movie will touch even the hardest heart.
Looking at the list you would think I hadn't seen a movie in this century. I have of course. More recent movies that deserve to be on the list include "Bridget Jones' Diary"(2001), "Love Actually"(2003) and "Mona Lisa Smile"(2003).
If there are others that I've forgotten that you think should be included, let me know.
