What's Your Favorite Film Aimed Primarily At the Opposite Sex?

Examples of movies aimed primarily at men (Goodfellas, Unforgiven) or women (13 Going on 30, Sex & the City).

My favorite woman-centric movie is The Devil Wears Prada. Wasn't especially interested at first but it's become a favorite.

Somewhere in Time (1980), but mostly because of the magnificent soundtrack.

I don't think that's a chick flik IMO. I could stare at Jane Seymour all day long.

Yeah, she had an elegant beauty in that film but I don't see why you wouldn't see it as a chick flick when there are critics who consider it too maudlin.

I'll just say I always enjoy Hallmark movies. I know they're always aimed at women but I consider them feel good entertainment that's good for everyone.

THE STANDARD EVERYDAY HALLMARK MOVIES OR THE HALLMARK HALL OF FAME FILMS?...I ENJOY BOTH BUT THE HALL OF FAME FLICKS ARE BORDERLINE MASTERPIECES.

I have a very large collection of regular Hallmark movies but I've only seen a few Hall of Fame movies. I have both Christmas with Holly and November Christmas.

I genuinely liked "Definitely Maybe"

I hold a special place in my heart for "Salmon Fishing in the Yemen" because it was so goddamned awful without a hint of irony and I wanted to scream in the theater. (It was my sister's birthday.)

I SAW THAT SALMON FISHING FLICK...I REMEMBER THINKING IT WAS BIZARRE AND I CANT REALLY REMEMBER MUCH ELSE.

I just saw that on TCM a few weeks ago. It was really good.

[–] Redsfan001 (6218) 4 years ago

Yeah, reading the liner on what the movie is about I almost didn't watch it.

But good movies show different points of view and different types of lives lived.
