10 Chick Flicks Every Romantic Needs To Watch
Are you a hopeless-romantic that can’t pass up a good cry at a chick flick or are you a guy that denies they watch any films relating to love when actually they curl up on the sofa in a blanket, digging into a tub of Ben and Jerry’s with a box of tissues at the ready?
Well, you’ve clicked on the right page because here you will find ten chick flicks that if you haven’t already watched a dozen times then you’ll need to stop wasting your precious time.
1. How To Lose A Guy In 10 Days
If this isn’t an ultimate chick flick then what is? How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days might be quite a cringey one for some of you but if you enjoy a light-hearted film that’ll get you giggling then this ones for you.
It is based upon a woman who writes ‘How To’ articles for a magazine and she only has one more project to write before she can write whatever she wants hence the ‘How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days’ and then a man who works for an advertisement agency and takes on a bet that he can make any girl fall in love with him in 10 days so that he can pitch to the next big client. What could possibly go wrong for these fools right?
2. The Fault in Our Stars
This is most definitely a tear-jerker… The typical girl meets boy but not just at the local shop or bar but at a support group for those either in remission from Cancer or still suffering from it. I’m sure you can already tell you’ll be blowing your nose at this one but the script-writers have really out-done themselves and it goes a lot deeper than just a sad sob story.
3. She’s All That
This is a 90’s classic that stars Freddie Prinze Jr. who we all fancied… Don’t deny it. This film is based on one simple word ‘bet’; a high school boy makes a bet with his mates that he can turn the school loser into prom queen. This is a fun and flirty chick flick that’ll make you wish you were that loser.
4. 10 Things I Hate About You
Yes, the chick flick you’ve all been waiting for. The infamous Heath Ledger who plays a rough but very sexy high school student who is paid by two unpopular students to seduce their desired girl’s sister. Would be a shame if she found out wouldn’t it? This film has great music, great actors and a very 90’s high school feel to it.
5. A Walk To Remember
This is another one that’ll have you weeping like a baby. I’m not going to spoil this one for you but it’s another typical American high school story… The jock meets the uncool student whom changes his perspective on life and falls in love. However, she might have a secret that she didn’t think would affect the most popular guy in school.
A chick flick which stars the perfect actors to display a true love story between complete opposites.
6. Cruel Intentions
This is more of a dark chick flick; lies, betrayal and manipulation is the main theme for Cruel Intentions but above all of that there is the most pure love story.
Maybe the three main stars are enough to sell you; Sarah Michelle Gellar, Reese Witherspoon and Ryan Phillipe all play fantastic characters in this twisted tale which is based on two siblings who like to ruin peoples lives to get what they want but little did they know one bet was about to change everything when love comes into the picture.
7. The Girl Next Door
The Girl Next Door is a lot different to the previous films because boy doesn’t just meet girl; girl moves in next door to boy, falls for boy but may have a cheeky little secret that boy didn’t see coming.
This sexy, hilarious rom-com will definitely be the key to persuading your partner to watch a chick flick, finally.
8. The Notebook
Well, what is there to say? I’m sure you have all heard of this famous love story between two youngsters who become separated due to being from different worlds that finally reunite after years later. This is a love story within a love story and if you do not fall in love with Ryan Gosling by the end of it then you must be in denial.
9. Sweet November
Keanu Reeves is no longer Jack Traven in Speed or John Wick in… John Wick but he is the most romantic man in this heartbreaking tale between a woman who promises to change his life for the better in one month which gave him enough time to fall completely in love with her. Although, at the end of the month his life might not have changed for the better.
10. The Holiday
Let’s end this list with a bang! This festive and warming love story between four people who have always been unlucky in love until now. The Holiday is chick flick that can cheer anybody up; it’s based upon two strangers who decide to swap houses for the Christmas holidays because they want to escape from they shockingly bad love lives.
However, they might get a bit too comfortable living in one-another’s lives… Jack Black, Kate Winslet, Cameron Diaz and Jude Law really do make a great team on this classic chick flick.
