“31 Days of All Things Woman” would not be complete without a discusion of movies women love – also known as chick flicks!
Today, I’ve picked ten of my favorites to share with you – it was HARD to narrow it down but I knew all of these on the list had to be there! I did include an honorable mention at the end for other chick flicks I just love.
These aren’t necessarily in any order, but the first three are my FAVORITES.
I hope you enjoy my list and add your own ideas in the comments!

Top Ten Favorite Chick Flicks

1. Sleepless in Seattle – Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan are magic together. Just the right mix of sappy and funny. I can quote the whole movie. And the soundtrack is simply lovely.

2. You’ve Got Mail – Hanks and Ryan do it again. I honestly can’t say which one I love more. I can quote this one as well. And another great soundtrack.

3. Pride and Prejudice – Oh be still my heart. The one with Keira Knightley. I love it so much I put it on my iPad to keep me company on my plane ride back from a conference last year. A beautiful, beautiful film.

4. Return to Me – Please tell me you have seen this. David Duchovny and Minnie Driver. You will cry your eyes out, but it is so wonderful. It is very clean and has a somewhat old-fashioned feel to it – love that.

5. Sense and Sensibility – Can you tell I like these period films? And this one makes me laugh and cry. I love Emma Thompson, and Hugh Grant makes such a perfect bumbling romantic fool.

6. The Proposal – I laugh so hard I cry EVERY TIME I watch this. Sandra Bullock is another one of my favorites. And Ryan Reynolds – hello?!

7. Much Ado About Nothing – I’m afraid many of you may have missed this, but listen to the cast: Kenneth Branagh, Emma Thompson, Denzel Washington, Robert Sean Leonard, Kate Beckinsale, Keanu Reeves and I’m sure I’m missing someone. It is marvelous. And I’m a sucker for Shakespeare in any form – written, stage or film.

8. My Best Friend’s Wedding – Talk about a GREAT soundtrack. Julia Roberts is hilarious. The “happy ending” is not what usually happens in a chick flick. Love it.

9. Gone with the Wind – I needed to include a classic and what says “classic” more than Gone with the Wind?! Confession: I have the read the entire 1,000+ page book more times than I’ve seen the movie.

10. Hope Floats – This was my chick flick addiction during my first year of college. I won’t admit how many times I sat on my bed watching it and bawling my eyes out. Sandra Bullock again, but with Harry Connick, Jr. this time. And the little girl is super duper cute.

Honorable mention goes to…
Can’t Buy Me Love, 27 Dresses, Devil Wears Prada, Emma, Runaway Bride, My Big Fat Greek Wedding, The Holiday, Sweet Home Alabama, A Walk to Remember, American President, An Affair to Remember, While You Were Sleeping, and on and on and on…
Ok, I’m just going to start a Pinterest board to pay homage to all of the great chick flicks out there as I remember them. I wouldn’t want any of them feeling left out!
Now, what are YOUR favorites?

I’m linking up to “Top Ten Tuesday” over at Oh Amanda’s perfectly purple place today! Have fun browsing through all the lists!
I'm Erin, a wife, boy mom x 3, writer, and runner in Nebraska! I'm excited to share all my favorites relating to faith, family, fashion, and fitness in this space! Enjoy! 
This is an AWESOME list! I have watched #1 and #2 so many times I’ve lost count. 🙂
Message in a Bottle was a great movie, too – but the book was MUCH better in my opinion!
Yes to all, yes to all.
But my fave is not here – “Knotting Hill”.
🙂 love Julia and Hugh and the supporting cast is the best!
Fabulous choices. “Return to Me” is awesome. You’ve got Mail, The Proposal and My Best Friend’s Wedding are all great as well. Oh, and The Holiday?? I think the best chick flick EVER! You have some good taste, lady.
Ooh! Good choices! I would have HAD to have “Message in a Bottle” up there…great idea about a pinterest board for movies! It also could be VERY bad though! lol!
Pretty Woman, Dirty Dancing, Father of the Bride (even the second one), Pretty in Pink, Breakfast Club (not so much a chick flick but I still like it), Ever After 😀 I like all of your movie choices except The Proposal. I didn’t really like it. But I love Ryan Reynolds and Sandra Bullock.
Definitely Pride and Prejudice – the Keira Knightly version. It’s on my iPad too!
Also, Anne of Green Gables and Anne of Avonlea with Megan Follows. I was beyond excited when my girls were old enough to watch Anne with me.
The Notebook!
Never been a big fan of Jane Austen… but the rest of these… Definite MUSTS…. in fact, I think I need to watch a few of them again… Updating my Netflix queue right now!! 🙂
makes me want to break out the movies!!! love them 🙂
Oh, Gone With the Wind! Is it a chick flick? It doesn’t have normal happy ending…but I love it all the same!!
Some chick flicks I submit for consideration: Dirty Dancing, The Way We Were, Funny Face, and the Notebook!
LOVE Return to Me! I am so glad you mentioned it. My favorite is Notting Hill.
I’ve only seen three your top ten list, and two of those three are two of my absolute faves: Sense and Sensibility and Much Ado About Nothing. (You’ve Got Mail is the other one I’ve seen. It’s good, but not a favorite.)
My two other faves are Emma and Ever After.
I do enjoy 27 Dresses and the Devil Wears Prada. Once again, great movies, but not necessarily favorites. I have a few other favorite movies, but I don’t think they’d qualify as chick flicks.
Loved all you mentioned and even the ones mentioned in the comments! I think we need to have a chick flick night, twitter, skype or facebook while watching the movies! LOL
Oh, I love all of these! Return to Me is one of my all time favorite chick flicks as is While You Were Sleeping.
Fab list! We are kindred spirits, my friend!! Just listed Pride and Prejudice on my Relevant roomie ‘ten things you need to know’ post. Can we watch it there?
On my iPad….good idea. Love it!!
you had me until Hope Floats! I watch P&P every time hubs leaves town – I love you, most ardently – YES !!!
what about The Princess Bride, The American President, Sweet Home Alabama … happy sigh
Fun, fun, fun! I love so many chick flicks! Narrowing it down to 10 would be hard for me, too. I love Sweet Home Alabama, You’ve Got Mail, How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days, The Proposal – oh, there’s just too many! Haha!
Great list! I love me a good chick flick!
My all-time favorite is one mentioned at the end, Sweet Home Alabama. Although I do very much love every movie you mentioned, and agree with Kat as well, Anne with Megan Follows is wonderful. I need to stock up on these for my trip over to Relevant. I’ll have to watch them on my little iPod though! 🙂 FUN!!
GREAT list! I hate I haven’t been around to read all your 31 Days posts, I’ve been too busy with mine! Catching up now, and I LOVE this one! I love me a good chick flick, and there are so many on this list that are my faves, too.
Sleepless in Seattle is in the top five of my favorite chick flicks, but close behind is While You Were Sleeping. What is it with “sleep”? 🙂
I love, love, LOVE Jane Austen movies! I like the A&E version of Pride and Prejudice as a whole better than the Keira Knightly version, but the ending…oh my the ending…Matthew MacFadyen as Mr. Darcy….whew! I think I need a fan… 😀
And my favorite part of Much Ado About Nothing is when Kenneth Branagh overhears the three men talking about Beatrice’s “love,” makes a noise and tries to cover it up by calling like a bird…I laughed my head off the first time I saw that!
But my all-time, no doubt about it, hands down favorite chick-flick (although my husband says it’s really not a chick-flick since he loves it, too) is The Princess Bride. Wahv, twu wahv… 😀
