My best friend, Isidora, and I have been planning a chick flick movie night/pajama party for about a year. I always let the team down by screwing up my exams and not being able to visit. It’s been so long since we came up with the idea, that we both forgot which movies we wanted to watch, so I decided to keep track of movies that come to mind here.
These are arranged in no particular order.
- 10 things I hate about you
- Pretty woman
- Runaway bride
- You’ve got mail
- Sleepless in Seattle (You just can’t mention “You’ve got mail” without mentioning this one, although it doesn’t even come close… at least not for me)
- City of angels
- French kiss
- When Harry met Sally
- Kate and Leopold (I hereby end the Meg Ryan portion of our program)
- Somebody like you (bugger Hugh Jackman for not being in more chick flicks. Inconsiderate bastard. I love him!)
- Romy and Michelle
- Catch and release
- P.S: I love you (I always confuse Hilary Swank with Jeniffer Garner)
- Funny girl
- Room with a view (gotta love the huge hair and the even huger eyebrows)
- Dirty dancing (Isidora doesn’t like this one, but she recently took up salsa, so I’m hoping she’ll be more open to dance movies)
- Moonstruck
- Mermaids
- The witches of Eastwick (end Cher section :))
- Working girl (only movie where I can look at Melanie Griffith
- Ghost
- Four weddings and a funeral
- Love actually

- It could happen to you
- Counterfeit contessa
