On my list of 'chick flicks' that alpha males can enjoy.

I'm more of a romantic myself, but I think this movie is one even alpha males can enjoy. What are some other good "chick flicks" for guys? Here's my list, what would you add?

FIREPROOF
FIRST KNIGHT
GORGEOUS (JACKIE CHAN)
HITCH
JOE VS. THE VOLCANO
MISS CONGENIALITY
PENELOPE
THE PHANTOM OF THE OPERA
PRIDE AND PREJUDICE
THE PRINCESS BRIDE
RETURN TO ME
SWEET HOME ALABAMA
TANGLED
TWILIGHT: BREAKING DAWN PART 2
WARM BODIES

If you're interested in reading my rationale for why each of these is "guy-friendly," read my article at: http://www.mormonmovieguy.com/2013/02/keep-your-man-card-15-chick-flic ks-guys.html

Princess Bride is awesome.

I just saw that movie last week for the umteenth time. One of the best movies out there.

Is The Princess Bride a chick flick?? I guess I've never really thought about it but to me, a chick flick caters more to the feminine side as opposed to "My name is Inigo Montoya. You killed my father. Prepare to die". The wonder years kid does flinch at some of the "girlie" parts so I guess it has a little of that too.

Whatever the classification, it's one of my favorites!

That's the whole point of the it though, is it not?
Columbo is telling this story to his grandson and he thinks it's gonna be a pukey love story and gags at a kiss scene, but then he gets really in to it and finds out it's totally awesome.

The Princess Bride is a great film, in that it caters so well to many types of people and makes you rethink the things you're 'supposed' to hate because you're a boy or a girl.

I'm not a chick, in that I'm an older woman. I also dislike most films that are in the "romcom" category. I have some exceptions you might like:

She Gets What She Wants aka Slap Her, She's French
Miss Congeniality 2: Armed and Fabulous
The Truth About Cats and Dogs
How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days
10 Things I Hate About You
The MatchMaker (1997)
Ladyhawke
