I did like that one. I also liked Atonement, and Waitress. <br /><br />The other movies on the list, gotta say, I'm not real interested in seeing them. Most of those movies don't have many 'teachable moments' in my book.Debbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09531125606268748793noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1622500913870267857.post-89787973843906088572010-02-10T18:28:21.912-08:002010-02-10T18:28:21.912-08:00BB, I agree about Harry and Sally, but when I thin...BB, I agree about Harry and Sally, but when I think back to Thelma and Louise, all I remember is the bad shrimp I ate before the movie and having to pull over the car on the way home and...well...I did the Great Technicolour Yawn all over someone's driveway. I do, however, remember Brad Pitt.A Novel Womanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07525456231177803620noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1622500913870267857.post-40423976872787324642010-02-10T14:41:24.502-08:002010-02-10T14:41:24.502-08:00Good Lord - they don't make 'em like that ...Good Lord - they don't make 'em like that in Australia. Even Hug Jackman wouldn't go THAT far (and is AUSTRALIA a chick flick? Hmmmm).<br /><br />I agree about the pre-2007 thing. When Harry Met Sally is close to being my favourite movie of all time - Thelma and Louise is right up there too! <br />:-)<br />BBBBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14985371070644061676noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1622500913870267857.post-90591743261750991392010-02-10T11:45:54.788-08:002010-02-10T11:45:54.788-08:00I know.

There are a ton of good ones if you go back a bit, still entertaining but perhaps less puerile - When Harry Met Sally, Sleepless in Seattle, Something's Gotta Give, Enchanted April, and even Bridget Jones.<br /><br />Then there's Sense and Sensibility and Pride and Prejudice (any version will do), Fried Green Tomatoes, Little Women (any version), Four Weddings and a Funeral (despite Andy McDowell), Love Actually, oh there are so many...<br /><br />IF you go way back, then have a look at Casablanca, All About Eve, The Shop Around the Corner, His Girl Friday, An Affair to Remember, The Philadelphia Story...<br /><br />Anyway, I think the point was for him to make a romantic gesture for his wife. I know my husband would not do 30 nights of chick flicks. I'm lucky to get him to do one.A Novel Womanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07525456231177803620noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1622500913870267857.post-84465908928131625062010-02-10T11:17:09.412-08:002010-02-10T11:17:09.412-08:00Interesting.

Seems to me that there's a better selection if you go back.<br /><br />Hard to imagine (as different as every person truly is) that there's a whole lotta good/real stuff for a man to learn about women from these--other than be romantic, really.Tarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09008153523366719973noreply@blogger.com
