Greatest Chick Flicks

Kulbhushaan Raghuvanshi
The basic definition of a chick flick is, "Something that a woman will enjoy and a man won't". These movies contain certain elements which appeal only to women, but that doesn't mean it has nothing for the average man. Here is a list of movies which are equally adored by men and women.
These films are especially designed to target female audience, especially young girls. Some critics even call it a waste of time and money and dismiss them by calling it, "A short trip to the beauty salon". Critics-schmitics! Only women know what a good chick flick can do to their mood. Here's a list of chick flicks that are a must watch.

Camille

It is a tragic story about a woman who has to sacrifice her own happiness so that she can prove her love. The story is based on a famous novel by the same name written by Alexander Dumas.

Breakfast at Tiffany's

A classic. The film is about Holly Golightly, a New York city play girl who is all set to marry a rich billionaire. Paul Varjak is her next door neighbor and a writer who is sponsored by an elderly woman. See how the romance blossoms in between the two in one of the best romantic movies of all time.

The English Patient

Inspired by a classic novel of the same name, The English Patient got rave reviews and was one of the most commercially successful films of the 90's. I won't reveal anything about the story because I want you guys to watch it!

Bend it Like Beckham

A list of girly films is surely incomplete without Bend it Like Beckham. It is a great story about an Indian Punjabi family who prevents their soccer loving daughter from playing football. A story of courage and honor about women. Do watch it!

Legally Blonde

It is about a simple blonde who gets dumped by her boyfriend because he thinks that she is not smart enough for him. She vows to win his love back and enters Harvard to study law with him. Reese Witherspoon has given one of the best performances of her career as Elle Woods.

Sex and the City

They are America's favorite girls; Carrie, Miranda, Charlotte and Samantha have been an important part of New York and taught single women everywhere, how to live life to the fullest. Catch a new chapter of their life in Sex and the City; the movie, fans won't be disappointed.
