Favorite feel godd/chickflick films

[Happycat]

Feeling ill mostly in bed at the moment and need some good D.V.D's to cheer me up.my good old faithfull's like Bridget Jones,Dirty dancing,About last night are not doing the trick I have seen them so many times now has anyone got anymore idea's to cure my boredom please.

See even my typing has taken an even more turn for the worst.

Sleepless in Seattle, You Have mail, 7 Days and &
7 Nights ?
Hope you feel better soon

While You Were Sleeping, Working Girl, The American President, Stepping Out, Tootsie, Its a Wonderful Life (some not strictly chick flicks but flipping brilliant films all the same!)

Charlie's angels, not sure if it counts as chickflick but real good fun
Amelie Poulain if you can bear subtitles, it's very funny

10 things I hate about you - more teeny kind of film.. modern taming of the shrew...

miss congeniality??

Happycat - you've got to check out Fried Gren Tomatoes at the Whistle Stop Cafe -top top film!
Also Beaches - always makes me laugh and cry - what more could you want!!!

Jerry Macguire ... (just love that film) ...
When Harry met Sally ...
Dahlia ... It's a Wonderful Life is one of the best films ever made IMO!!!
Hope you feel better soon Happycat!

How about Ghost or Notting Hill?

Just watched Maid in Manhattan and it made me blub ... unfortunately I was on a plane to the States with a male colleague so my professionalism went out of the window!!!!

Sliding Doors - Its probably my favourite film ever.

Tootsie is one of my all time favourites plus Dirty dancing, St Elmos Fire, About last night, Breakfast Club, Planes Trains and Automobiles, Parenthood, Mrs Doubtfire (sad! - me not the film!) Pillow Talk - you cant beat a bit of Doris Day and Cary Grant!

Happy watching - hope you feel better soon

I'm a Bridget Jones/Dirty Dancing girl too. Also watched Ghost on Friday and love Top Gun but I always cry when the plane goes down. The Full Monty is always good for a giggle too.

Happycat, not necessarily all chick flicks but fwiw, here are my suggestions:
Butch Cassidy & The Sundance Kid (for good old fashioned, good looking criminals and nostalgia); Top Gun (for testosterone overload and memories of the eighties); The Truman Show (for wit, excellent acting and an all round fantastic film); Four Weddings & a Funeral (to make you laugh and cry and reminisce about every such event you've ever been to); Also agree with Dahlia about It's a Wonderful Life, Tootsie and Working Girl and with PamT about The Full Monty. Casablanca? Some Like it Hot? Let us know what you go for hey?

Its a Wonderful Life is one of my all time faves, and also Harvey (same vintage, also James Stewart).
For a girly night has to be Truly, Madly, Deeply.... always cry but fab, fab film

While You Were Sleeping - just love that film, can watch it over and over.

Return To Me - David Duchovny & Minnie Driver. I cry and laugh at all the right bits every time. Some wonderful comic moments - and they've done well to pick really good sympathetic secondary characters in it too (the three old guys in the restaurant in particular play off so well together).

I'll second 'fried green tomotaoes at the whistle stop cafe' - I'd forgotten about that, it's great. What about comedy seiries as well - sometimes 1/2 hour is a good length if you want to drift to sleep (can't think of anything at the mo)

I went for the full monty to start with as I all ready have that and I am gonna get out 10 things I hate about you .gonna try a few of these I had forgotten about some of these.Fancy getting out About a boy any good ?

Not a chickflick but I love Groundhog Day - always cheers me up. Strictly Ballroom is fab and I do like Some like it Hot. Hope you feel better soon.

I loved About a Boy (and I don't normally like Hugh Grant!). Would have been disappointed if I'd read the book first though - as it was I loved the film and then really enjoyed the book afterwards too (totally different ending though).

I really liked About a Boy too, and Hugh looked very edible with his new little haircut. What about The Railway Children for the ultimate weepy film - if anyone can watch Jenny Agutter running down the station platform crying "Daddy, my Daddy!" without sobbing hysterically then you are made of tougher stuff than me.

Come on girls, what about Grease!
Seen it sooooo many times I actually know the script. Much to everyones annoyance when it's on as I can say the lines with each character and within the first 10 minutes get told to shut up and threatened with the remote control.

Tell me about it, stud....

Dahlia.....

I really enjoyed About A Boy, but unfortunately had read the book first, so I thought the ending in the film was a bit ridiculous. Still dead funny though!!

Emwi I love strictly ballroom too I was really sad and got the soundtrack to that film but then I tend to buy the soundtracks to all my favs.And I'll never get bored of grease.I couldn't get into the about a boy book though.I always wonder whether it's better to read the book before or after the movie read Bridget Jones after and would have been dissapointed with the film read edge of reason too funnier than Bridget Jones I reckon so when they do make the sequel I hope they do a good job.Not feeling 100% yet but feeling on the mend now thanks all.
