I usually get my way with the choice of films we watch, but every now and then I have to balance the choice of film with something "she will enjoy". I have a handful of romantic films in my back pocket that I actually enjoy;
Working Girl
Strictly Ballroom
Murial's Wedding
Priscilla Queen Of The Desert
Three of those films are Australian, so perhaps Australian chick flicks have to be better to their menfolk to sit through them.
Working girl has peak Melanie Griffith and Sigourney Weaver to ease the pain.
My list is chronically short, so please help.
If anyone want to say Mamma Mia or Sex in the City, then please fuck of now.

Everytime I flick through the channels Bridesmaids is on, I feel like I've watched the whole film by piecing together 30 x 3 minute clips of the thing........

I Remember Greek Wedding thing on a plane once....I see why they have extra strength vomit bags. 10 mins was enough.

Even if viewed/judged purely as a disaster film it has to be up there in terms of best disaster films. |

The simplest solution would be to replace her with a newer model that has a better taste in movies.

You won't catch me WATCHING ANY OF THAT GAY SHIT because I'm SO FUCKING HETERO AND MANLY that when my Mrs suggests watching such things I SHAG HER VIGOROUSLY UP THE ARSE whilst simultaneously BELLOWING FOOTBALL CHANTS DIRECTLY INTO HER FACE. Pretty Woman is alright though. |

I don't know exactly what's classed as a chick-flick, but I really enjoyed Once.
Victoria, Black Swan (great psychological thriller), Garden State, The Lunchbox. Her is a great one if a romance with an operating system counts. True Romance. Midnight in Paris.
The 'Before' trilogy is great if you don't mind things getting talky - Sunrise, Sunset and Midnight.
