BikeBookBread Posted July 21, 2009 Share Posted July 21, 2009 IQ with Meg Ryan. Funny and cute. Favorite with my 15 and 16 yr old dds. I LOVE IQ - totally forgotten chick flick, and smart too. My DH took me to see that on our first date. Worked for us! We've been married for 13 years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AngieW in Texas Posted July 21, 2009 Share Posted July 21, 2009 (edited) George and the Dragon is great. We like it better than Princess Bride. It was originally released as Dragon Sword. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0306892/ Edited July 21, 2009 by AngieW in Texas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blessdmommy Posted July 21, 2009 Share Posted July 21, 2009 Always (1st date movie with dh before he became dh) Speilberg film starring Holly Hunter, Richard Dreyfuss (1989) romantic adventure - need a few tissues at times:crying: Joe Versus the Volcanounder appreciated Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan romantic comedy (1990) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shiloh Posted July 21, 2009 Share Posted July 21, 2009 (edited) We just watched "Father of the Bride" with Spencer Tracy and Elizabeth Taylor and it was worth the black and whiteness. I'm going to rent "Bringing Up Baby" also black and white but funny with Katherine Hepburn and Cary Grant. I absolutely loved "50 First Dates" with Drew Barrymore and Adam Sandler. But I saw it on Clean Flicks (remember that company?) Did anyone mention "Roman Holiday" with Audrey Hepburn? "About a Boy" is good - Hugh Grant "Bend It Like Beckham" - Keira Knightly (I'm trying to think of titles for girls that aren't necessarily romance) "Babette's Feast" we love this movie - subtitles in English - original in Norwegian? "Life is Beautiful" funny but sad and also great movie about Jews in WWII - who was that goofy Italian actor who won the Oscar for this movie? "Shall We Dance" - (1996) Japanese movie about ballroom dancing. Very sweet --- Not the Richard Gere American version "Strictly Ballroom" - Australian movie about ballroom dancing. So funny satire. I just bought "Facing the Giants" because the lead actor has a wonderfully deep speaking voice that's rare to hear - not such a great lookin' guy though. "Phantom of the Opera" - Gerard Butler - my mother-in-law has a crush on him. :lol: "Timeline" - also Gerard Butler - I might buy it for my m-i-l. PG-ish I also love "Bridget Jones Diary" but I don't think I'd recommend it for a 14 year old even though it is a remake of "Pride and Prejudice." Even "Rocky " is good - maybe you can get the version without the "F" word. I just sent "Pursuit of Happyness" to my niece who is going into retail investing. Inspiring movie - one of my faves. "The Winslow Boy" - interesting female character in this British movie about a teenage boy who is suspiciously expelled from boarding school. "The Four Feathers" - Kate Hudson and Heath Ledger - British again - a bit bloody but an era in history that nobody knows anything about. "Princess Caraboo" - Pheobe Cates - LOVE this movie for girls! I'd buy it if I could get my hands on it. "Miss Potter" Renee Zellwegger -a biopic of Beatrix Potter - PG My favorite movie of all time? "Groundhog Day" Some people don't get this movie. Have fun. Edited July 21, 2009 by shiloh to edit is to live Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

melhouse Posted July 21, 2009 Share Posted July 21, 2009 When I was a teen, I loved watching the older comedies with Barbara Streisand (sp?) from the 60's. They are a bit musical, but not too much so and simply hilarious! I just wish I could remember their titles.:tongue_smilie: I had forgotten about these. What's up, Doc? was one of my favorite movies in high school and college. I don't think I've seen it since then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just wish I could remember their titles.:tongue_smilie: Hello Dolly - even my 5 and 3 year old LOVE this one (mostly because of WallE) Funny Girl (I can't remember what this is even about...is it good for teens?) I just thought of some more ....

Liz CA Posted July 21, 2009 Share Posted July 21, 2009 A remake of the Philadelphia Story is "High Society" - one of the few remakes worth watching. Has anyone mentioned: Rear Window (Jimmy Stewart) To Catch a Thief (Grant & Kelly) Dial M for Murder (Grace Kelly) Marnie (Tippi Hedren & Sean Connery) Roman Holiday (Audrey Hepburn) Sabrina (Audrey Hepburn) Indiscreet (Cary Grant & Ingrid Bergman) Notorious (Ingrid Bergman) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Melissa in CA Posted July 21, 2009 Share Posted July 21, 2009 I think everyone has mentioned most of my personal favorites, but one I did not see mentioned that we all love here is The Patriot with Mel Gibson. Yes, it is rated R, but only because of the thematic elements and war stuff (ok, lots of killing and the like. :lol:) There is not one ounce of nudity, or sexual innuendo, not a single curse word that I can recall...maybe a d#*n, if even that. Just a great heartfelt...and yes heartwrenching...movie. Love it, love it, love it. Some, off the top of my head, favs... Any Jane Austin flick (these are my favs): Pride & Prejudice Sense & Sensibility Persuasion Emma Jane Eyre (this edition is my personal fav) Sabrina (I like the Julia Ormond/Harrison Ford one), The Romancing the Stone series (I think there are three), Gaskell's North & South, Confessions of a Shopaholic (new...irresistably cute), Enchanted The Bleak House The Man from Snowy River Return to Snowy River Lorna Doone (really, really enjoyed this!) The Inheritance The Last Cowboy The Love Comes Softly series (some are better than others, but all are great clean movies) Saving Sarah Cain The Ultimate Gift The Christmas Card The Note Just to name a few.... :lol::D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kewb Posted July 21, 2009 Share Posted July 21, 2009 Most of my faves have already been mentioned but here are some we love in our house: Arsenic and Old Lace Holiday Inn Cheaper by the Dozen (the original-not the Steve Martin remake) Gone With The Wind The Glass Menagerie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cinder Posted July 21, 2009 Share Posted July 21, 2009 The Lake House -- Sandra Bullock and Keanu Reeves Only the Lonely -- John Candy and Ally Sheedy Nanny McPhee -- Emma Thompson and Colin Firth Sabrina -- Humphrey Bogart/Audrey Hepburn OR Harrison Ford/Julia Ormond (I enjoyed both versions) Our family recently enjoyed: Bedtime Stories -- Adam Sandler Paul Blart, Mall Cop -- Kevin James Cinder Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ereks mom Posted July 22, 2009 Author Share Posted July 22, 2009 (edited) Not all of these are what I would term "chick flicks" -- maybe my definition isn't the same as others' ;) -- but almost ALL of these sound like they'd be good!

I guess a "chick flick" to me is one with a love story attached....I love love...I believe each movie I listed does indeed contain a love story. Even The Patriot. ;) Have fun!

Mrs.MacGyver Posted July 22, 2009 Share Posted July 22, 2009 I don't think I saw this listed but.. First Knight with Sean Connery, Julia Ormand, and Richard Gere - it's the story of King Arthur and Camelot. It is rated PG-13 for some brutal medieval battles.

ereks mom Posted July 24, 2009 Author Share Posted July 24, 2009 Sweet, even sappy, but very clean -- romantic kissing, no nudity or sex scenes -- stuff that ladies like to watch (ROMANTIC love, not SEXUAL love) & that probably would not appeal to their husbands! :)) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mommy2be Posted July 30, 2009 Share Posted July 30, 2009 No one has mentioned City of Angels, maybe too adult? I loooove that one!!! I do also love Joe vs the Volcano, which someone montioned. Really and of the Tom Hanks/Meg Ryan movies. Gotta love them two... Beaches - is that too adult also? Flicka - bawled my eyes out...
