Hee Seop Choi.  LA Dodgers. Against the Twins.

Okay, seriously, how many of those have you actually seen?

 

When Harry Met Sally
Pretty Woman

Sleepless in Seattle

Bridget Jones' Diary

The English Patient

The Truth About Cats and Dogs

Terms of Endearment
Thelma and Louise
Beaches
The Princess Bride

[LaBombo]

 

Curious to know which ones you think aren't chick flicks? Chick flicks can still be enjoyed by men, just like sophomoric guy flicks can be enjoyed by women.

 

Can anyone play?     Ok,  I'll start off with 'Sleepless in Seattle'.

 

You can't really count a movie as a chick flick when it contains probably the greatest 30 second deconstruction of chick flicks ever committed to film:

 

 

 

My personal favorite:   Victor Garber,  sobbing into his hands in response to Hanks' recap:  "Trini Lopez!"

[Squirrel]

Bought a ticket to go see Captain America: Civil War tonight. Friend texted me ... she has to put her cat down today, right now as I type, wants to go have drinks later after work ... I'll be eating the ticket and will go tomorrow instead. Poor kitty

But that's my point ... it's still a chick flick! You can still enjoy it, though.

Hey Now

 

The English Patient is chock full of memorable movie quotes that people repeat to this day. 

 

For Example: 

 

Umm

 

 

Something about Maps and Geography and hating them. 

 

The quotes have stood the test of time

 

 

Whenever someone conks their head and pretends nothing happened I point and yell "English Patient"  as if we were playing Charades.

[Hrbowski]

 

Marney brings up a good point on Play Ball weekend.. Who would win in the 1st annual Twins Daily home run derby?

I can say I've had 2 career home runs hit over a fence in my illustrious baseball career.

Sano Doubter. Or do they have to be regulars?

im backing off on 1, after further review. 2 are not chick flicks. Bridesmaids and Princess Bride are not chick flicks. Yes they have bride in the title, but that's where it ends

[USAFChief]

 

Okay, seriously, how many of those have you actually seen?

In my case*:

 

When Harry Met Sally
Pretty Woman

Sleepless in Seattle
Bridesmaids






Terms of Endearment
Thelma and Louise
Beaches
The Princess Bride

 

*in my defense, I let Mrs Chief pick the movie once a year or so.

That's a symptom of Tourette's according to WebMD.

Okay, that was funny.

[sampleSizeOfOne]

What about Breakfast at Tiffany's?

[LaBombo]

 

But that's my point ... it's still a chick flick! You can still enjoy it, though.

 

Oh,  fine,  but can't we call it a romantic comedy,  so watching it is less like dressing up in drag?

 

Potayetow,  Potahhtow,   I guess.

Oh, forgot about that one ... another awesome chick flick! Thanks, ss1!

[HitInAPinch]

 

What about Breakfast at Tiffany's?

Only if Tiffany is agreeable

[Riverbrian]

 

In my case*:

 

When Harry Met Sally
Pretty Woman

Sleepless in Seattle
Bridesmaids

Thelma and Louise
Beaches
The Princess Bride

Yeah... There was a time in my marriage that I would let me wife watch what she wanted because I (we) felt it was only fair. 

 

She took it to far when she said I wasn't allowed to complain about the movie while she was watching it and we've put a stop to this "FAIR" thing pronto. 

[USAFChief]

In all fairness, I give props where props are due.

 

"I'll have what she's having" IS the greatest movie line ever.

 

 

[LaBombo]

 

That's a symptom of Tourette's according to WebMD. 

 

Yup,   actually a nasty sub-category called Pop Culture Tourette's.   'English Patient'  references are a fairly benign symptom compared to a full-blown  'Pulp Fiction'  attack.

Scores two.

I went to Katz Deli just because that line helped make the place so iconic.

Which came from Rob Reiner's mother ... chick flick ...

I thought it was "I Love Lamp" 

[LaBombo]

So the Twins are halfway to a win without trailing in the game,   which make it the...   second time that's happened this year?

 

And now my jinxing it can take the blame for the Twins blowing another lead later on.

 

That,    and the worst bullpen in baseball....

If this goes south, ain't nobody gonna be tossin' you a rope after THIS post, friend.

Casablanca?

 

I Believe it's from Casablanca. 

 

Rick Blaine says it right before the German guy gets shot

 

I could be mistaken.
