Great list! I usually rent a ton of chick flicks when my kids go on holidays with their father. Thanks for the ideas :)
Yes, yes, yes! Love Actually, Bridget Jones. Hmmm... what do these movies have in common? Hugh Grant and Colin Firth. Yum!
Ah, Romancing the Stone
What writer can't relate to that opening sequence when Joan is sobbing as she writes?
Oooooh great list. I TOTALLY dig faboo chick flicks!!!
You've got several favorites of mine up there! Sigh. The newer version of Sabrina ... of course, I love the original, too!
Yes, yes... and how about another Hugh Grant flick--"Four Weddings and a Funeral"!
"Love Actually" and "The Mirror Has Two Faces" are two of my favorites. Along with "Practical Magic".
Sliding Doors-I loved that movie premise. And did someone say Practical magic?
I really like most of the movies on your list :)
Oooh... I loved Chocolat. I never looked at chocolate the same way. Hehehe!
YES! I second 2, 4, 5, 7 and 13!!
(I'll have to check out the rest)LOL!
I think you meant to say
Chocolat starring Johnny Depp as the hottest long-haired gypsy EVAR.
Er, maybe not. But dang he was hot in that movie, LOL.
I love Bill Nighy. He is so funny in Love Actually. Saying that Brittany was a bad shag, still makes me laugh.
Sliding Doors and Love Actually! Two of my most favoritest movies! I like Chasing Amy, but I'm more of a Clerks/Clerks 2 girl myself.
Great list!
*hugs*

Great list! Romancing the Stone and Sabrina...can't go wrong there. ;)
Love Actually has to be one of my favorites. And of course, I've BEEN Joan, sobbing over my manuscript LOL. I like Chasing Amy too.
Excellent list--I've seen all but five, my absolute fave being Chocolat.
