    Think I might venture out and get a DVD. Any recommendations for girlie flicks?
    Thanks!,

    Watched 'One Day' last night didn't feel it was as good as the book but still worth a watch I'd say!

    The Notebook.

    I'm not usually a fan of girly or romantic films, but loved The Notebook.

    La Haine is another great film, not girlie though.

    The Notebook.

    Oh my God how could I have forgotten The Notebook??!! :eek:

    Actually I watched The Proposal and Julie & Julia recently. First one was okay but absolutely loved the second one. :)

    You actually left the house and rented a dvd?

    Jesus that takes me back...


  • Registered Users Posts: 34,788 ✭✭✭✭krudler


    How much do rental dvds even cost these days? Havent rented something in years, never had to when I worked for hmv, was as cheap to just buy them, hence how i wound up with over a thousand of the things :pac:

    The last time I rented a DVD (about five or six years ago) I paid around €6 for one or two nights, think it was one night though.

    That was the very last time I rented anything. Not a chance in hell I'd pay that sort of money to rent a film.

    Free downloading all the way.:D

    I think it was five euro....getting into this film now! There wasn't much of a selection in the shop. Was just looking at the other losers (like me) who sit in on a Friday night! Had to walk past the most popular pub in the town and felt like such a saddo!,

    There's nothing wrong with sitting in at all.

    Going out is nice, but so is sitting in with a film, junk food/snacks and drinks (both soft and alcoholic.). Can have a great time even without having to get dolled up to the nines and spending a pot-load of money too.

    Ah I know that, I just haven't been out in ages!l

    ah its just one of those movies that seems to tick all the boxes for a girlie flick, I've nothing against romantic movies or "chick flicks" if they're good, I own a few on dvd myself, long as it has good actors and a decent plot I'll watch anything regardless of genre, but that just felt like it had too much forced sentimentality, his other moves are all the same.

    I've only seen The Notebook, haven't seen any other movie he's directed. I love The Notebook though. I was going to ask my bf to watch it with me but I know he'd hate it. :o

    if you get a guy to sit through the notebook you know he truly loves you :pac:

    Nicholas Sparks wrote the original book, along with Dear John, A Walk To Remember, Message In A Bottle (see a pattern forming here lol) for a guy he's nailed the writing of chick lit novels :pac:

    Am I the only girl in the world who hasn't seen The Notebook?

    Ew, chick-flicks. I'd rather...most other things..!



    Is The Help out on DVD? I liked that. Did the book justice.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 37,215 ✭✭✭✭Dudess


    Not a fan of chick flix generally either - but I quite like The Notebook, mainly for the sex scene...
    Another chick flick I like is Ghost, as mentioned.

    I second Muriel's Wedding. Also: Clueless and Mean Girls. I do like high school movies with a bit of dark humour - Election with Reese Witherspoon is brilliant. Romy & Michele's High School Reunion I like for the 80s nostalgia. Oh Drop Dead Gorgeous - about a small town beauty pageant - love it.
    Legally Blonde isn't bad. And I like Save The Last Dance - totally considered rubbish but I likes. Great soundtrack too.

    Mean Girls is awesome, I wont hear a bad word said against it. Clueless is a 90's classic. 10 Things I Hate About You is...kind of a chick flick I guess? but a good one as well I only watched it recently on netflix. Drop Dead Gorgeous is ****ing hilarious. I quite liked The Devil Wears Prada too but thats mainly because Stanley Tucci is in it, and anything he's in instantly becomes watchable, Meryl Streep is a good in it as always and Anne Hathaway is a fox.

    Yeah I like that one too. Love Actually is good festive viewing also IMO.

    Only one I haven't seen from this list is Message in a Bottle. Is it any good? The vow is next on my list. I get very emotional at them though, I'm single (and getting "the lonelies") so those goddam "love will conquer all" movies get me worked up :rolleyes:

    watch 500 Days Of Summer, that'll put down those feelings :pac:

    After reading this thread I want to watch a film now :( Can't watch anything on this desktop cause there's no speakers for it and it wouldn't handle a film anyway :(

    Renting isn't an option either, far to expensive. :pac:
