Chick Flicks I Like to Watch
 

I'm watching Pride and Prejudice with Mrs. Meanie right now (the A&E edition which is widely considered to be the best edition ever made).

At the risk of being forced to surrender my man card, here are other Chick Flicks that I'm a sucker for:

- Sense and Sensibility
- An Ideal Husband
- Emma (can you sense a theme going here?)
- The Anne of Green Gables movies

I like all of these movies. To my credit, they are at least all based on reknown books or plays. Anyway, the main thing that bugs me is I'm happy and willing to watch this stuff with Mrs. Meanie; however, she is unwilling to watch any of my favorite movies (like, say, any Dirty Harry movie) with me. Are any of your wives a "one way street" when it comes to the kind of movies they'll watch? Are any of you a one way street?

Dang man, doesn't the fact that I like Clint Eastwood movies count for anything?

I'm a one way street. If I'm following your metaphor, anyway.

I make Jason watch every John Cusak film with me, but I can't make it through any of Jason's films, which usually involve hand-to-hand combat, large things being blown up, or a combination of the two.

good call on the Austen, BTW.

My hypothesis is that most girls are a one way street - in other words, they demand that guys sit through their movies but they won't sit through the guy-type movies.

What's a guy supposed to do? Like Archaea said in a different thread, women hold all the cards.

Sorry - it was SoCalCoug, not Archaea:

At least Barbara thinks your cool.

The films you mentioned are tolerable only because they were based on something with substance. Otherwise, when it comes to chick flicks, the Il Padrino Ute theory applies. If I recall correctly, if his wife want to see a movie, he automatically knows it will be bad. With that information, there are only two reasons to watch it. If you're in trouble for something or if you're looking for a reward at the end.

I bet every guy has a secret chick flick that he doesn't mind watching. You know Titanic or Princess Bride or Say Anything or something. But, then again, I'm not a guy, so I could be off base here.

Your right mine is Basic Instinct.
