Girls Night In – Chick Flicks

There are some movies you just can’t click away from when watching t.v. Two of my favorites are To Sir, With Love and The Shawshank Redemption. The latter barely qualifies as a Chick Flick but like most good movies no matter how old, how cheesy, how sentimental…these are the movies that register with us and we’re compelled to watch.


Let's hear it for Chick Flicks. The movies that most men folk shrivel away from and the ladies gravitate towards. The movies that make us cry with no humiliation, giggle and laugh, and stay riveted even though we’ve seen them a dozen times before. So bust out the popcorn, chocolate and wine, invite over a few girlfriends, make arrangements for the kids, and settle down for a chick flick extravaganza.

This diverse list includes a range of movies from different decades and sparks different emotions though most tend to lean towards a chuckle or two. Included with each listing is a popular movie quote that we mutter to ourselves each time it’s heard on screen.

Here it is in no specific order, Million-Dollar-Mama’s Chick Flick list:

9 to 5 (1980) "...Up until now I've been forgiving and forgetting because of the way I was brought up, but I'll tell you one thing. If you say another word about me or make another indecent proposal, I'm gonna get that gun of mine and I'm gonna change you from a rooster to a hen with one shot! And don't think I can't do it."

Bridget Jones's Diary (2001) “Bridget Jones, wanton sex goddess, with a very bad man between her thighs... Dad... Hi.”

Pretty in Pink (1986) "We don't have none of this stuff in the boy's room! Wait a minute! We don't got none of this... we don't got doors on the stalls in the boy's room, we don't have, what is this? What's this? We don't have a candy machine in the boy's room!”

Pretty Woman (1990) "I appreciate this whole seduction thing you've got going on here, but let me give you a tip: I'm a sure thing."

Sixteen Candles (1984) “Oh Sam, let me take a look at you. Fred, she's gotten her boobies!”

Working Girl (1988) "You're the first woman I've seen in one of these things that dresses like a woman, not like a woman thinks a man would dress if he was a woman."

Steel Magnolias (1989) “Looks like two pigs fightin' under a blanket.”

Breakfast at Tiffany's (1961) “It takes four seconds to get to that door... I'll give you two!"

Imitation of Life (1959) “How do you tell a child that she was born to be hurt?”

When Harry Met Sally (1989) “I came here tonight because when you realize you want to spend the rest of your life with somebody, you want the rest of your life to start as soon as possible.”

To Sir, With Love (1967) “It seems that you know so little, and are so easily amused, that I can look forward to a very happy time.”

Grease (1978) "Men are rats. Listen to me, they're fleas on rats. Worse than that, they're amoebas on fleas on rats."

Dirty Dancing (1987) "Nobody puts Baby in a corner!”

Footloose (1984) "Hey Hey! What's this I see? I thought this was a party. LET'S DANCE!”

The Way We Were (1973) "I feel like I've been invited for drinks, and everyone else is staying for dinner."

First Wives Club (1996) "Ladies, you have to be strong and independent, and remember, don't get mad, get everything."

An Officer and a Gentleman (1982) "You know something, you ain't nothin' special. You got no manners, you treat woman like whores and if you ask me you got no chance of being no officer."
