My Fav!!!

What about Steel Magnolia's? I love that movie even though it makes me bawl every time.

Love Story.

the only ones on the list that i like

Desperately Seeking Susan, The Truth About Cats & Dogs, What's Love Got to Do With It, "Breakfast at Tiffany's, and Pretty Woman.

i wouldn't say any of them are my favorite. i'm more into movies like 12 monkeys, the matrix, dune, the postman, waterworld, jay and silent bob strikes back, shrek 1 and 2, or any movie that has a huge unexpected plot twist.

I like those too, especially Sling Blade. Billy Bob Thornton did real good on that one!!! He's one of my fav. actors

I also like The Green Mile, I got a betta fish for xmas and named him Mr. Jingles cuz of the mouse in The Green Mile

What about Romeo & Juliet??? The one with Leonardo DiCaprio??? Or Titanic??? Or What's Eating Gilbert Grape??? I really like What's Eating Gilbert Grape....maybe I just like Leonardo DiCaprio, well he IS a cutie, but I like the movies too...and Johnny Depp is ALWAYS a hottie!!!!

The only movies from that list that would make my 'chick flick' list would be Breakfast at Tiffany's and Camille. Camille would only make the list because La Dame aux Camelias is one of my favorite books.
