Blokes: chick flicks you secretly like

[Bakunin]

Real men don't want story lines, they want explosions, lasers, space ships, gratuitous nudity and kick ass martial arts stuff.

You forgot car chases, plenty of car chases.

And rom-coms make me want to vomit blood, all that faux sentimentality, schmaltz and seeminlgy deliberately predictable 'and they all lived happily ever after' shite bores me to tears, frankly.


Instead give me films as described by that recently dead bloke who did all the Hollywood voice-overs:

'He was a cop on the edge, who wanted things HIS way...'

'HE never knew his father, SHE may whip off her bra IF you rent the video.'

That sort of thing, please.

I watched The Devil Wears Prada on a flight to Australia last year, having exhausted all the decent films. It wasn't as bad as I thought it would be.

 

[BlackArab]

Truly, Madly, Deeply rules

It was mildly enjoyable in a way that it shouldn't be.

*spoiler* She was hardly a dog to begin with.

 

[Kanda]

Jersey Girl.

 

[The Octagon]

I tend to have a soft spot for most US High School-set films.

Bring It On
Get Over It
She's All That
10 Things I Hate About You

Ok, TBF the eye candy doesn't hurt, but I tend to enjoy the films too.

 

[Kanda]

Cruel Intentions/Dangerous Liasons

 

[kyser_soze]

Sarah Michelee Gellar and Selma Blair locking tongues is not a chick flick in the sense we're using here...

 

[kained&able]

that wasn't nearly as hot as everyone made it sound.

wild things! thats how to do a bit of main stream lezzer action.

[Buddy Bradley]

Jersey Girl.

Doesn't count, Kevin Smith.

dave

Indeed, Sir, for thou speakest the truth.

Best part of that film, by far.

 

[kyser_soze]

Anal Lesbian Bitches IV

Now that's a chick flick...

 

[Streathamite]

Dangerous Liasons

erm, more yer classic adaptation than a chickflick, no?
I nominate Thelma and Louise and second Truly, Madly, Deeply

 

[Bakunin]

Anal Lesbian Bitches IV

Now that's a chick flick...

Yep, and 'Lesbian Spank Inferno' is a classic of the all-female film genre.

 

[EastEnder]

Yep, and 'Lesbian Spank Inferno' is a classic of the all-female film genre.

And yet so many actresses still whinge about there not being enough decent roles for women?!

 

[oomfoofoo]

Had a mate come round to watch 'City of Angels' with me - cried his eyes out bless him!

Another mate loves 'When Harry met Sally' and quite a few other chick flicks

 

[Bakunin]

And yet so many actresses still whinge about there not being enough decent roles for women?!

I'm sure they're just acting all tongue in cheek.

The cast of 'Lesbian Spank Inferno' got that down to a fine art, IIRC.

 

[N_igma]

The only two I can think of is 10 Things I Hate About You and She's All That.

 

[kyser_soze]

Surely tho, When Harry Met Sally transcends the whole genre-flick label of rom-com, and is actually a genuinely good film? I reckon so anyway.

I was quite impressed with Wild Things as I expected it to be nothing but tits and arse, and it turned out to have twists and stuff.

 

[kained&able]

yeah it wasn't entirely useless.

I'm not entirely convinced the ending of it make any sense at all though.

TBF, a lot of the time wasted on "twists and stuff" would've been much better spent focusing on Denise Richards' jugs.

 

[Griff]

Apocalypse Now.

 

[QueenOfGoths]

No!! She has got a funny turned up nose and is awful in "Starship Troppers". Not sure about her jugs but I don't like her

Oi!

Can you read the thread title??!!

Thread for BLOKES, bugger off.

*takes off false beard and shuffles away *

 

[kyser_soze]

There is nothing awful about Denise Richards except her taste in husbands...

and her nose

[Stigmata]

I saw a Dutch version of Love Actually recently that wasn't terrible. It was called Alles is Lieves or something and featured a subplot about the Crown Prince blacking up to pursue a woman.

 

[kyser_soze]

So comedy racism and bad plotting aside it was good fun then?
