Chick Flicks

[Kool-Aid]

What's your favorite chick flick?

If you don't like chick flicks...what's your favorite movie?

[ShagginJet]

shawshank redemption is my favorite movie.

chick flick...? give me some popular ones, i don't discriminate just because they're chick flicks.

[SolPol]

Shawshank is a great movie.

You ever read the novella it's based on?

[Kool-Aid]

Im not usually into chick flicks...but my favorite is " Something's Gotta Give"...with Diane Keaton and Jack Nicholson...very cute and realistic...:yes:

[MegaDON]

Rocky II is my favorite movie, i watch it at least 2 a month

[mylittlecivic]

the matrix, gattaca,dogfight,fight club, all adam sandler movies, money cant buy me love(80's ver.), slc punk!, bill and teds excellent adventure.....

those are some of my favorite movies - to name a few

[ShagginJet]

^ nice list.... I agree with the "all adam sandler movies", that guy is great.

[pdiggitydogg]

shawshank is great

for some reason i liked that mandy moore movie...the one where she was a churchy girl who had cancer or something. that was alright

[IALuder]

best movie of all times "Snatch". love that movie. as for fav chick flick dont got one.

[ebpda9]

gone in 60 seconds :yes:

[Kool-Aid]

Yea, I liked snatch too...I haven't seen Shawshank yet though...

[spoogenet]

Shawshank is an awesome movie.

Too many movies to list. But as far as chick flicks go, I'd probably say Amelie is higher in my rankings than most.

u haven't seen shawshank? I disown you. ;(

[Kool-Aid]

Whyyyyyyy....you don't wanna disown me!!!!!
I promise I'll watch it.

[IALuder]

its always on TV. i have seen it 10 times if not more.

[DsBlu01CivEX]

it took me forever to see Shawshank....it's a great movie...I cried.

As for a favorite chick flick....uh I guess The Sweetest Thing would be one of my favorites. I like stupid comedies a ton (sandler, spade, farley movies....I like SNL cast members) but I can get into a good romantic comedy now and again.

[Kool-Aid]

Well, it's here on DVD...I just don't like movies that make me cry...I shall watch it today/tonight.

[Kalvin]

Shawshank Redemption is great... other favorite movies include Braveheart, LOTR, The Postman. I prefer the longer movies... more time to develop the characters and the story.

chick flick.. what popped in my mind right now was Serendipity.

[Kool-Aid]

If you guys ever get a chance...watch Ripley's Game....weird movie...

[IALuder]

seen it, forgot it. i would have to rewatch it to remember what its about but i got a general idea still.

[Whiteclipse99]

Geez, I didn't realize Shawshank Redemption was everybody’s pick for favorite movie. It is indeed an excellent movie, and has been one of my top picks for awhile now. One of my favorite quotes is from that movie...."Hope is a good thing, maybe the best of things and no good thing ever dies"

As for favorite chick flick movie, I'm a fan of almost any romantic comedy. A few of my favs are The Wedding Planner, Notting Hill, Love Actually and The Sweetest Thing.

[Kool-Aid]

I watched ummm....The House of Sand and Fog...now thats a pretty crazy and depressing movie there....I don't recommend it but if you like depressing movies...it's all yours...

[ShagginJet]

^ So did you watch shawshank?

[Kool-Aid]

Everytime I go to check it out someone would already have it so no. That seems to always happen to me...I would want to see a movie when it's not there...but it's there when I don't wanna see it...I think I am jinksed...

[LadySi2000]

fav movie mmmm....final destination 2 and all of the Nightmare of Elm Streets

Fav chick flick.... Father of the Bride, Pretty Woman, Truth about Cats and Dogs, Pump Up The Volume, all the 80's brat pack movies. (gotta be old, like me, to know those)

[DsBlu01CivEX]

^^I know the brat pack movies...they're great! how old are you?

[LadySi2000]

31:irked:

[biker's back]

13 going on 30.... gf dragged me to it the other night and it turned out to be a pretty good movie for what it was.

[Kool-Aid]

Anyone ever see Love Stinks?? That's a real funny and crazy movie...

[ShagginJet]

^ Nope but i remember the love stinks song from Wedding Singer.

[Kool-Aid]

Love Stinks is crazy...watch it...

[ShagginJet]

^ we can rent it and watch it at your place when you get back... ;)

[Kool-Aid]

Of course we can...but you'll want to go out in the town...not sit at my place and watch movies...

[ShagginJet]

^ who said we'd just watch movies?? ;)

[Kool-Aid]

What else did you have in mind????

Has anyone seen that old classic movie...Cassablanca? Was that good to anyone? I've seen it...it was ok.

[ShagginJet]

I told you, it depends on what i can get away with. ;)

I've not seen it but kind of wanted to, no idea if it's anygood but it's a classic. Might have to watch it several times to get the whole movie.

[Kool-Aid]

Well, I am into classic movies so it was ok to me...Im a classic movie buff...

What if I told you that you can get away with anything...

[mylittlecivic]

ok adrieanne have you ever seen this silly movie called summer magic?

[ShagginJet]

I thought you said to leave the whips and chains at home...?

PM me on that anything, I'd like to know what you had in mind ;)

[mylittlecivic]

just watched great expectations dunno if its a chick flick but i like it.....

[Kool-Aid]

I've never even heard of a movie called Summer Magic...and I have heard of Great Expectations butnever got around to seeing it.

How about...Pretty in Pink? Now that's a classic...great chick flick...I love the end where she goes to him and they kiss passionately...he he he ;)

[mylittlecivic]

i have pretty in pink:yes:

[Kool-Aid]

That's a great movie...especially the ending...

[LadySi2000]

That would be in my grouping of the Brat Pack movies...Breakfast Club, Pretty in Pink, 16 Candles, Weird Science, etc...

[Kool-Aid]

Ha ha ha....nice...

[77Speedracer77]

I don't know if it's necessarily a "chick flick" but I love "The Breakfast Club"

A good one we just saw was "Mean Girls" - that was hilarious!

[SolPol]

Holy colors Batman :cool:

What is The Breakfast Club about?

It's basically about a diverse group of high school students all brought together one Saturday morning for detention. The group consists of a jock, a daddy's girl, an outcast, a rebel and a geek. Throughout the movie they come to find that although they're all individually so different and come from different backrounds that they have more in common then they thought. It proves to be both a growing and learning experience for all.


It's a good movie....definitely an 80's classic!

[biker's back]

I found that movie so boring

[DsBlu01CivEX]

Erin great explaination of the movie....sounds like the blurb that you'd find on the back of the dvd.:yes: If it's not, maybe you've found your calling!!!!;)

Yah I love the brat pack movies....I think 16 Candles is my favorite though.

[mylittlecivic]

^ me too heheh.

[GT40FIED]

If you found that movie boring then it's a strong indication you have no idea what it means to be human. Of all the John Hughes movies it's probably the most significant only because it's an intimate human interest piece on what it is to be different in high school...argueably the most troubling and vulnerable years of your life. Each one of the characters, although significanlty different, find solice in their alienation both from each other and from their peers. It's not a tour de force, so to speak, but it's a quiet and accurate portrail of what those years of your life re truely like no matter who you are. In the venue of true to life movies, Breakfast Club is easily in my top 5.

[IALuder]

^ DAMN, you think way to much.:yes:

Haha, thanks D, but I think Steve did a much better job.


And yes Sixteen Candles I think is one of my favorite John Hughes movies. I can totally really relate to Molly Ringwald's charactor. :yes: Although I'm still waiting for my Jake Ryan.

[wal]

im not really into chick flicks but save the last dance was good, i like most films though eg boyz in da hood, manice to socity, snatch, lock stock, the football factory and gone in 60 secs

Snatch was a good movie...cracked me up...it was crazy how that guy would knock somebody out in one punch though...

[vtchgrl2k2]

gone in 60 seconds, fast and the furious, fight club, once upon a time in mexico

[IALuder]

snatch is and will probably be the only movie were i like ben aflects acting.

[GT40FIED]

Ummmm...don't think Affleck was in that one. Brad Pitt maybe as the pikey boxer? And Affleck was great in Dogma while Pitt was great in Se7en.

And yes vtchgrl...Gone In 60 Seconds...owns all other car movies. Best car chase scene ever. Long live Eleanor.

[Kool-Aid]

Yea, Eleanor is the car of the century in my book...I own that movie. Im also a 007 fan...anyone else??

[GT40FIED]

^Yes...and now Shelby is building the GT500E if you want your own Eleanor repro. And in my book 007 ain't shit without Sean Connery. The man is just so fucking smooth. Pierce Brosnan couldn't swing off Connery's nuts.

[mylittlecivic]

has anyone ever seen this older kinda dorky movie called RPM? heheheh i like it its cheesy funny. and its in europe:cool:

Hey, my name's Sean Connelly...and Pierce Brosnan can't swing from nuts either :rolleyes: :flick: :stickman:

I go by my middle name though. 007 jokes get WAY old.

[beanbandit]

The Beanbandit Hall of Fame of Outstanding Cinema:
1. The Crow - "Little thing used 2 mean so much 2 Shelly, I
used 2 think they we're kinda trivial. Believe me
2. Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas - "

[beanbandit]

Hate hittin the wrong friggin button....
now where was I....
"Believe me nothing is trivial."
2. Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas - " God lord, we're in bat
country!"
3. Fight Club - " A question of etiquette, do I give U the ass or the
crotch as I pass"
In addition 2 these any of the Guy Ritchie Films (If you all liked "Snatch "then Checkout "The Mean Machine" if you can find it - Guy Ritchie remake of the old Burt Reynolds classic "The Longest Yard") Any of the Kevin Smith Movies ("I'm like for christ's sake Walt knock it off... You know you,re going 2 get this Cat stuck up your ass just like the rest. And he said "but Brody how else am I gonna get the gerbil out." My cousin is a strange guy.") most flicks with Johnny Depp.... and of course no list would be complete without a little "Dazed And Confused" (" No... you see that's what I like about those high school girls... I keep gettin' older, but they all stay the same age... yes they do.")

And in closing I feel there needs 2 be a Movie recognized for its contribution 2 the world of automotive chases and NO I'm not talkin' about "Gone in 60 seconds" I'm talkin' about the originator of what is now the modern day car chase....

BULLITT - Steve McQueen being chased in his '68 390 Mustang GT
thru the streets of San Fran by the ominous '68 Dodge
Charger R/T... This set the benchmark for all chase
scenes 2 follow....

This is by no means a complete list of Hall of Fame worthy films but " Please if I missed anyone, you've got 2 understand, it's been along day and I'm a little tired..." A big Beanbandito salute 2 the first person who tells me which movie the last quote came from and the name of the actor who uttered it... ;)

[GT40FIED]

^ Yes...Bullitt owns us all. But Steve McQueen wasn't BEING chased, he was GIVING chase. Still, everytime I watch that movie (I got the box set...jam) I get a big smile on my face when the dude in the Charger guns it and it sounds like a bomb going off. Mmmmmm....muscle cars...:drool:.

lol its so cheesy!

[CD5Passion]

Bean couldnt be more right with Kevin Smith movies. "Mallrats", "clerks", CHasing Amy", and "Dogma" :D

"I hope he gets caught and a blood bath insues, parents need to teach their kids to fear and respect that escalatar....That Kid..That kid is on the escalatar again"

"007 aint shit without sean connery" is damn right (i think pierce brosman(sp?)) is the worst of the James Bonds

[GT40FIED]

You forgot Timothy Dalton and that one guy who was Bond for only 1 movie.

"I don't believe it...that kid...that kid is BACK on the Escalator again!"

"Let it go!"

:D

[SolPol]

George Lazenby was it not?

[vtchgrl2k2]

And yes vtchgrl...Gone In 60 Seconds...owns all other car movies. Best car chase scene ever. Long live Eleanor. [/B][/QUOTE]

glad you agree.... oh and btw since you know whats the ish, i just saw riddick friday and it kicks A$$!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[GT40FIED]

I've heard great things about the Chronicles Of Riddick and I've heard bad things. I loved Pitch Black...although Diesel's character was about the only thing that kept it afloat (can you imagine that...Vin Diesel carrying a movie?). Right now I'm pretty stuck on Asian cinema though. I used to hate Asian films until I realized the enourmousness of their badassity and their willingness to put out movies that the U.S. wouldn't touch with a 10ft cattle prod. Go watch "Hero", "Battle Royale", or "Battle Royale 2" and we'll talk. ;):thumbsup:

[GT40FIED]

I might go...if this podunk town is even showing it in it's one 3 screen theater.

vtchgrl...I just noticed you live in Ontario...they have nice airports there. hehe.

[beanbandit]

Why yes SolPol it was Lazenby... George Lazenby... "On Her Majesties Secret Service"... Which also had "Kojak" (Telly Savalas - " Who love's ya baby!!!") as the bad guy... Call me kooky but I'm kinda partial 2 the more sacastic/cheez-ball attitude that Roger Moore brought 2 the character:crazy: Also (and I can see the barrage of of feedback this one will get ) 2 all you "Gone and 60 Seconds" fans... yes "Eleanor" was a "cute" car, but the red 71' Hemicuda would had her 4 lunch!!!;) Mo-power - This ought get interesting - Bean :cool:

yep i like it out here, its cool. i hate the airport though. and ontario mills sucks too many tourists!!

[IALuder]

well lets go.. should i pick you up at 7 vtch?

[GT40FIED]

Yeah...on one of my trips to L.A. I had to go through Ontario instead of LAX. Longest drive to Long Beach ever. *shakes fists* Damn you Ontario!

And Bean...yeah that HemiCuda was fuckin sweet...but how can you beat a GT500 with a nitrous button on the shifter that said "Go Baby Go"? Now in the original 70's movie, Eleanor was like a '72 Mach 1 or something like that...nothing to write home about. That one had a chase scene that you couldn't wait to stop watching. Seriously...it was like 45 minutes long.

[vtchgrl2k2]

lol, um your time or mine?? j/p

[Kool-Aid]

007 is the shit....regardless of who plays the role
