Top Flicks about Chicks

By: Amy

Chick Flicks have such a bad meaning nowadays, and it’s because most romantic comedies are rubbish. However, I don’t think romantic comedies cover what a Chick Flick should be.

A Chick Flick should center on little girls, girls, young women and women… as students, as neighbors, as friends, as daughters, as granddaughters, as sisters, as mothers, as lovers. They are simply women. With that alone, we can tell all sort of other stories that have little to do with romantic comedies.

This is a list encompassing loads of genres telling all sort of stories about very different women.

I would also consider _Alice Doesn't Live Here Anymore_, probably around 220-230 (she was in her late-thirties or early forties)

I think 3 Women should be on here. Forgive me if I've missed it.

    i haven't seen 3 Women, so thanks for the suggestion. Any idea where I should place it? The list is ordered kinda by protagonist's age...

    2 of the three were in their late-twenties, so 150-ish, maybe?

    i haven't watched many bergman films, so i can't include them. if you have any suggestions, why not say them instead of leaving that comment?

    uh, sorry didn't mean it in a bad way, just think some of his films really expresses female bonding better than any other director that I have ever seen! I would recommend Persona, Cries and Whispers, and the silence!
