You've Got Mail
I've lost count of the number of times I've seen this. Meg Ryan again, and at her quirky best. Funny and poignant. Directed by the fabulous Nora Ephron who wrote the script for 'When Harry Met Sally'.

An Officer and a Gentleman
Richard Gere in a uniform. Need I say more?

Breakfast at Tiffany's
This would probably make my top ten movies of all time. I love, love, love it. Holly Golightly is my fashion hero. The wild party scene is inspired and I always cry at the end (err... of the film, not the party scene. You do understand?)

Frankie and Johnny
Could almost be the perfect romantic comedy. "I'm a BLT down sort of person, and I think you're looking for someone a little more pheasant under glass." Don't you wish you'd said that?

The Women
The most modern of my top 5, this film has no men in it. None. There weren't even any men involved in filming it. Debra Messing's constantly pregnant earth mother is brilliant. Wish Ms Ryan hadn't done that to her lips though.
Which films would make your top five? Pop over to Kate Takes 5 to see if they're already in someone's list...

I really enjoyed The Women, and it wasn't until it had finished that it occured to me that there were no men in it. I even went on IMDB and checked!
ReplyDeleteI have only seen 'You've got mail' I think I am letting women all around the world down by admitting that!! Jen
ReplyDeleteI love your list. Wasn't the young Mr Gere just the business?
ReplyDeleteI'm sick too and would love a day of chick flicks - as it is it's High School Musical and Cars for me...
ReplyDeleteI think it's good you stuck to one genre. We should do a link up every week with a different genre - may that way, I would actually get to make a list of my all time faves, rather than stick to just 5 x
ReplyDeleteI think Women is one I need to catch up on - love a chick flick.
ReplyDeleteI haven't actually seen any of those!
ReplyDeleteI love You've Got Mail, that's one of my favourite romcoms. Is it a good time to admit that I've only ever seen the original film The Women, it had a stellar cast with Joan Crawford, Bette Davis, etc. I also love the film The American President, it's a great romcom, have you seen that one?
ReplyDeleteI'm busy feeling inadequate as I've only seen three of those! I wonder if DH will let me put the last 2 on our 'list'?
ReplyDeleteoh Breakfast at Tiffs. Forgot about that one. I love the ending and I love the book! x
ReplyDeleteOoooh I did 80's movies for mine as I couldn't choose of all time as there are so many. Great minds :)
ReplyDeleteI haven't seen The Women so I'll have to check that out!
I love love love You've Got Mail!!!!
ReplyDeleteOh feel better hun!
ReplyDeleteIsn't that funny? I didn't realise either. Great film though - just goes to show you don't always need men for a great chick flick!
ReplyDeleteOoo yes! If you host it, I'm in!
ReplyDeleteThoroughly recommend it, great film :)
ReplyDeleteGet yourself to a DVD shop now! :)
ReplyDeleteOoo... didn't realise it was a remake - will have to check out the original. Haven't seen The American President - one to add to my 'to do' list, thanks for mentioning it! :)
ReplyDeleteHa ha! We won't hold it against you *but wags finger disapprovingly* :D
ReplyDeleteGo for it! He can only say no... and then get it anyway and watch it when he's not around! :D
ReplyDeletePopping over to check out your list now! Definitely recommend The Women :D
ReplyDeleteI liked the book too. But actually, it's one of the only films that I think is even better than the book. The story is slightly different and Holly isn't as tragic I think. How about you?
ReplyDeleteYay! Me too :D
ReplyDeleteYou're so right. I'm quite partial to the current one too though :D
ReplyDeleteI'm a bit weird about chickflicks, I always think I'm going to like them then end up ranting at the tv...haven't seen all these though so will get renting...
ReplyDeleteMe too actually, and there's a lot I really DON'T like, but these are good'uns :D (Well clearly I would say that wouldn't I!)
ReplyDeleteOooh An Officer and A Gentleman...good choice. May have to rekindle my romance with relationship with that one tonight. Loving the list! x
ReplyDeleteYou've Got Mail!
ReplyDeleteAs someone who me their OH on the Internet I love this film :D
Another fine List - love Holly Golightly too
I know, time for a re-watch methinks :D
ReplyDeleteReally? Well then it's your film, clearly :D
ReplyDeleteAnd don't you just wish you knew Holly? I'd love to have her over for coffee!
Aye, we bonded over old goth music and bad poetry :)
ReplyDeleteI'd like to raid Holly's LBD wardrobe, certainly. Classy lady of the night!
Ahhh! I'm with you on the LBD - she does it better than anyone! x
ReplyDeleteI haven't seen any of them except breakfast at tiffany's! That one very nearly made it onto my list - reminds me of my uni days, staying up till stupid oclock and watching the audry box set! x
ReplyDeleteAhhh... those were the days, eh? *sigh*
