The Top 10 Chick Flicks That Will Make You Cry
Author: Elizabeth Murphy

Every woman needs a good chick flick to stir up a few tears now
and then. Even every guy needs to experience a good chick flick
that gets him choked up. Sure, he'll be looking around the room
to make sure no one is looking, but chances are a chick flick is
really good if it makes a man cry. However, what defines a chick
flick? Most people define it as a sappy love story that women
will love and men will hate. Sometimes they make good date
movies depending on the content and at other times the men hide
in another room because they can't stand all of the romantic
talk and the "guy wants girl, girl shuns guy, guy aches for her,
guy tries to woo her, girl still ignores him, girl finally
realizes he's the one, guy gets girl, and all is well." Well,
that is a general story line, but some feel that all chick
flicks are the same. The thing is, that's not true. Let's look
at 10 that have been rated as the top 10 chick flicks that will
make you cry:

1.Gone with the Wind – Of course this one is going to be number
one. Everyone is aware of this timeless classic of total girl
power and love.

2.Beaches – This one really takes one for a loop. Barbara
Hershey and Bette Midler make everyone want to call up their
best friend just to tell them they love them. The storyline is
compelling, the tale of two friends allows the viewer to relate
to the characters, and the commitment is just overwhelming. The
end gives you Goosebumps.

3.Fried Green Tomatoes – This one is not a sappy love story at
all, but another movie about what constitutes true friendships.
There apparently is something about a woman and her best friend.
The story tells of two young friends and their trials as Cathy
Bates makes a new friend in the present.

4.Steel Magnolias – Everyone is aware of Steel Magnolias
because it was one of the greatest roles Julia Roberts ever took
on. It does contain a little bit of a love story, but it is
about friends, family, and their love for each other and how
they will stand for each other. Of course, the ending when Julia
Roberts' character dies, the viewer is stricken with tears.

5.When Harry Met Sally- Now this one is a romantic comedy that
will bring tears to your eyes. See, the sappy love story didn't
make it until number 5, so not all chick flicks are "guy gets
the girl" movies. This movie is about friends of the opposite
sex realizing love exists.

6.The Women- Here is another female bonding movie that shows
friendship at its finest with a circle of friends supporting
each other.

7.Grey Gardens- This chick flick gives a strange look into a
very strange and very intense relationship between a mother and
her daughter.

8.Sabrina- Now this is a "girl wants the guy" movie and even
has Sabrina attempting suicide because she wants his love so
bad.

9.The Valley of the Dolls – This movie has you captivated from
the beginning. Patty Duke, Sharon Tate, and Barbara Parkins
takes you on a journey of drugs, death, disease, and so much
more.

10.Thelma and Louise – Of course this one can't be left out
with its tale of true female friendship. They love each other,
protect each other, and they even die together.

It is not recommended that all of these movies be watched
back-to-back. If they are, a special trip to the store may
result in the purchase of a value pack of tissues to make it
through. Whether you are into "girl power," love stories, or
true friendship, the top 10 movies has all of that for you.
