Ten Great Chick Flicks: :Great Flicks for a Girls Movie Night

A movie marathon, whether with your girlfriends or solo, is a perfect retreat from a hectic schedule. Below are some well known, and some not so well known, chick flicks. So, slip into some comfy pj's, settle back with some popcorn and beverage of choice and enjoy the show!

The Love Letter (1999) starring Kate Capshaw, Ellen Degeneres & hunky Tom Selleck. I love everything about this movie, from its idyllic setting in fictitious Loblolly by The Sea (it was filmed in Rockport, Massachusettes) to the surprising twist at the end. Based on the novel by Catherine Schine, the heroine, Helen (Capshaw) discovers a love letter with no names on it. She, and many other town folk have their lives temporarily turned upside down by the letter.

Steel Magnolias (1989) starring Julia Roberts, Olympia Dukakis, Dolly Pardon, Sally Fields, Shirley MacLaine, and Daryl Hannah. This tear jerker (but in a good way) set in a small Louisiana parish is an instant classic. Dolly Pardon is absolutely wonderful as the sassy hairdresser, Truvy. I especially love Shirely MacLlaine's portrayal of the curmudgeon, Weeza.

Fried Green Tomatoes (1991) starring Mary Stuart Masterson, Kathy Bates and Jessica Tandy. Based on the fantastic book by Fanny Flagg, Fried Green Tomatoes at the Whistle Stop Café, this movie chronicles the lives of two women and their families living in depression era Alabama. Warning: You will want to eat some southern cooking by the end of this movie.

When Harry Met Sally (1989) starring Meg Ryan and Billy Crystal. This is the classic boy-meets-girl and they hate - then like - then love - each other-story. I am sucker for movies set in New York City, and this story, by Norah Ephron, brings the big apple into your living room. Ryan and Crystal are wonderfully opposite in the movie, and the New Years Eve ending makes my heart smile every time I watch it.
