Chick Flicks....

[OICurready4me]

To all the men out there...

I was watching the Today show and this was discussed...

Do you like watching "chick flicks"? If you have watched them, have you ever found yourself getting "teary-eyed" during them?

[Cotties]

Ioc .....whats happening to you...get away from chick flicks

My hubby always bitched when I would want to see them. He gave me a fight about walk in the clouds with Keanu Reeves or A walk to remember with Mandy Moore...he absolutely loved those movies and was crying with me in the Mandy Moore movie. I looked over at him and he was hiding behind a pillow with tears all down his cheeks. I smiled and started to laugh cause he does it to me all the time. He looked up and said "what???? Man...this is so sad!" I said it's ok, you can cry, I'm just enjoying the moment. He says all the time how much he likes them and that I have never picked out a chick flick he didn't like. He even loves Clueless as much as me. That is one of my fav's. I see nothing wrong with a guy liking them. Just don't act like you hate it and then us women bust you crying.

It was a question on the Today show...was just wondering if what they were reporting is the real deal or a bunch of b.s....

Women use chick flicks to get rid of pent up emotion, men use football for that.

[Big O]

Never watch them, although I was given the movie "Pennant Fever" last year because I'm a Boston Red Sox fan and it turned out to be just another "chick flick" disguised as a sports movie.....

Well, for my hubby, those type of movies don't interest him. He is more into action intense movies. It's not that he thinks it's unmanly, he just never wants to broaden his horizons and see other movies that are out there. He thinks he wouldn't like to watch a romance movie, till he does and then he thinks the plot was good. I just like to give him a hard time, it's what I do best ;)

[Cotties]

its not that they are unmanly......its because...hell I don't know..


I think Spare does

You don't want to be caught with a tear in your eye, Do you? :D

[OICurready4me]

My actual idea of a good chick flick is one involving Jenna Jameson...and what puts a tear in my eye is when she puts clothes on ...damn it, I can't believe I'm tearing up...

[MCat]

We watch "Chick Flicks" together.....sometimes we both get all teary...well I do all the time. "The Family Stone" was the last one we watched.....in fact we watched it twice.

I just saw Music and Lyrics. I normally hate these romantic comedies, but this one was pretty good.

[majorfun]

My wife hates Chick Flicks... She always says that Shit is not really life..It never really ends like that....

[Annie]

My wife hates Chick Flicks... She always says that Shit is not really life..It never really ends like that....Oh but wouldn't it be nice if it did end like that?! But that's the whole point anyway.... I watch movies to escape reality...

[Shiane]

I like chick flicks.......... Message in a bottle..... The Notebook are a couple of my favs. Just don't think thats all I like though. I love action movies too, and I'm getting better with the scary ones! Yeah yeah I'm a wuss, gore doesn't bother me I just hate shit that jumps out at me.:whee:

[dartgirl]

I have never been a real chick flick fan myself unless I am home all alone and really depressed, then I'm up for a good cry. Otherwise give me a good horror or action flick anyday.

[veronica]

I like chick flicks, but my husband refuses to watch them. He tells me to see them with my friends (which is more fun anyway). He won't see any movie that doesn't get amazing reviews. Doesn't want to waste his time...

[divorced male 43]

i like most of them

[pointofnoreturn]

I love chick flicks, but hubby won't watch. I did get my Dad to watch the notebook with me and my Mom last year, and we all cried...Luv it...

[learman3]

Have to admit I have been known to get a bit teary eyed. What can I say I am a sensitive guy.

[veronica]

I love a guy who will watch a chick flick with pride!

[wwwdodgeit]

i watch them , most of the time u get to hold your other half , i like notebook too
was a good movie
back in the day was Say Anything one >

[wwwdodgeit]

i dont know what a true chick flick is

[veronica]

Say Anything was good. I also loved Valley Girl - a classic, more than a chick flick.

[veronica]

My husband considers any movie that is about a guy and a girl a chick flick.

[twoblues]

Not sure if it's considered a "chick flick", but Red Violin is a nice movie. Kind of a sad undertone throughout the whole movie. I think that's all it takes to qualify as a "chick flick", right? :p


Oh, and DeLovely, that movie actually had me tearing up at the end. Damn that was sad near the end....the woman's dying, but she stays with him because she loves his music.

[wwwdodgeit]

so Better off Dead was a good one , Sixteen candles
was a good one too

[veronica]

Haven't seen it. I just saw Music and Lyrics.

[veronica]

Love Actually was sweet, too.

[OICurready4me]

My husband considers any movie that is about a guy and a girl a chick flick.


So porn would be considered a chick flick to him?

[OICurready4me]

About a year ago, my wife wanted to watch Mona Lisa Smile because she loves Julia Roberts....personally, she does absolutely nothing for me, think she is over rated as an actor and in the looks department. Well, gotta say, had to be one of the worst movies I have ever seen in my entire life. My wife even agreed.

[wwwdodgeit]

i can handle porn

[anon_user]

Takes the 5th

[veronica]

I am thinking he doesn't count porn. Who knows? We don't really talk to each other.

[Dmy]

I just watch what she usually picks out...I dont seem to care what kind of movie, but I good tear jerker always feels good if it has a happy ending!

[tendr]

so what do you call it when i watch an oriental action film? my guy won't watch war films much. we like science fiction and love stories. i guess we have enough bad things that i'd, we'd rather see something with a happy ending or at least some good acting. i LOVE movies. marvel comic characters and science fiction are prob the most enjoyable..or anything with anthony hopkins..yes i liked hannibal and even laughed during it...a harrison ford movie, you know is gonna be good and he's done a couple of tear jerkers... one of the best i've ever seen is "Wrestling Ernest Hemmingway" sorry if i mispell....my brain cells are old. anyway...you should rent this..it will make a great "couples movie" tho it's mostly about two men....and their friendship. btw..i like a guy who can cry. it's better than a heart attack.

Did you say happy ending? I didn't know we were talking about a massage?

[sweet]

My husband likes watching the chick flicks more than I do, actually. lol

I like to watch them once in awhile, but I mostly like action and comedy movies.

[steamy]

[bearwithdimples]

Did I hear someone say "Lifetime", the male haters channel.Where every movie has a male who has the feelings of a rock,and is no good.
When push comes to shove, I'll bear thru it and wait on her hand and foot during the movie. Let her enjoy the show, for I am allowed to enjoy mine.

[OccassionalFun]

I had to answer NO since I really am not sure what a chic flic is?

Is it one of those man hater things like Thelma and Louise?

LOL not really hun. It's more of a sappy romantic movie, or one with a very touching plot that tends to make most people (typically women) cry. Some are comedies and some are very dramatic.
Is that a good discription for ya?

Thanks that helps. When I go to the movies our out in general I want to be entertained not put through the emotional wringer. So I guess I voted correctly and don't like this sort of thing in public. I think the closest I came to one of these was Sea Biscuit - loved it. But I am actually extremely way too emotional and sensitive by typical guy standards and put on a thick armor outer defense. At home I am a different person than in public. I have never publicly shed a tear or cried since I was a boy. But what I do in private is an entirely different matter and my wife likes that a lot about me.

My wife prefers horror and suspense movies. I typically watch action/adventure/slasher movies. If the movies comes on the Lifetime network my wife will watch it, other than that, you can't get her to a chick flick. As a male, I won't watch a chick flick that doesn't have some kind of comedy theme running through. The other flicks are to darn slow.

[nugnugwinkwink]

some are ok
