The term can have negative connotations but I tend to believe there's nothing wrong with "Chick Flicks." Label a film a "Chick Flick" and people will know exactly what you're describing.
2. 'Steel Magnolias'
Steel Magnolias features a fine ensemble cast, intelligent writing, and an entertaining, though highly emotional, storyline. Shirley MacLaine, Dolly Parton, Julia Roberts and Sally Field headline the talented cast in this female buddy movie with a heart.
4. 'Stepmom'
5. 'Hope Floats'
After finding out about her husband's infidelity during an appearance on a nationally televised TV talk show, Birdee (Sandra Bullock) packs up her daughter and heads back to her hometown - and her mother's semi-open arms. Harry Connick Jr. plays Justin, a former schoolmate of Birdee's who opens her heart to the prospect of a new love.
6. 'Singles'
8. 'Terms of Endearment'
This film was so well-received it inspired a sequel - which, unfortunately, didn't go over quite as well as expected (the sequel isn't included in this Top 10 List). Nevertheless, you can't hold the sequel against the original. Terms of Endearment is an amazing film that features outstanding performances by Shirley MacLaine and Debra Winger.
9. 'About Last Night'
This 1986 tearjerker stars Demi Moore, Rob Lowe, Jim Belushi, and Elizabeth Perkins. Moore and Lowe play a couple who have a rough time dealing with commitment. Belushi and Perkins co-star as their meddling friends.
10. 'Where the Heart Is'
Also known as the "Wal-Mart Baby Movie," Natalie Portman and Ashley Judd star as single mothers who seem to always fall for the wrong men. Portman and Judd are fantastic, as are the supporting cast, which includes Stockard Channing and James Frain.
