   what women want (sensitive)
   miss congeniality (cinderella story)
   twister (professional)
   dancing at the blue iguana (...um...okay, not so much a chick flick as it is a flick with hot chicks)

   tank girl (kick yo' ass macho)
   the opposite of sex (power)
   a league of their own (independence)
   speed (keanu reeves)

   okay, for a pair of guys, not bad...but since my fellowette chicks haven't chimed in yet (I know, Ms. Ob-se-ssive, you're still compiling...)
   Here's my list, in no particular order:
   
   Chocolat ('cause I'll watch Johnny Depp in anything, but everything is better in chocolate)
   
   Ever After (a real Cinderella story, dammit)
   
   Legends of the Fall (yes, it's my Achilles heel...in the movie that's not Troy)
   
   An Affair to Remember (because if I had an affair like that, I'd remember it too)
   
   Down with Love (Obi-wan, 60's style)
   
   Speed (Keanu Reeves.....whoa)
   
   Notorious (the original with C.Grant....)
   
   Sleepless in Seattle (hey - it ties to another of my favs...)
   
   The Age of Innocence (scene in carriage where he takes off her glove is hot-hot-hot!)
   
   The English Patient (yea, I know - he's covered in bandages! But the flashbacks are fantastic)
   
   Of course, as usual, I retain the right to change my mind....and my choices!

   Honorable mentions:
   
   crouching tiger, hidden dragon (or vice-versa, whichever way it goes)
   
   House of Flying Daggers
   
   okay...for now

   Brief Encounter (so frightfully British!)
   Thelma and Louise
   Up The Junction (fantastic!Sixties and London...two of my favourite things in films)
   Inside Daisy Clover (young Natalie Wood playing 'A Star is Born' type scenario..haven't seen it for years but always remember the last scene when she's walking along the beach as her house blows up behind her)
   My Beautiful Laundrette (Daniel Day-Lewis before he turned into an arsehole)
   Tomb Raider (but ONLY cos Daniel Craig is in it!!)
   International Velvet (The only film that's ever made me cry...?!!)
   What Women Want (but ONLY cos it reminds me of girly weekend in Noo Yawk...otherwise it bollocks!)
   Breakfast at Tiffanys
   Funny Face (for the dance sequence in the jazz club...them cats were cool!)

   Well I kept trying to post my list, APj, but everytime I saw your list I had to run to the store:b
   
   -Moulin Rouge, because Ewan McGregor is a huge talent.
   -Pillow Book, because E McG has a huge talent.
   -Say Anything, any guy who'd stand outside your window with a boombox over his head playing "In Your Eyes" is majorly crush-worthy
   -Chocolat, JD with long hair, an Irish accent and playing the guitar...oh...my...god!!!
   -Playing By Heart, just a great story 'bout love and family.
   -The Dreamers- hot, hot, hot. Who is that young French lad?
   -Tie Me Up, Tie Me Down, for obvious reasons.
   -Good Will Hunting- Cuz all he really needed was the the love of a good woman:)And it takes place in Southie, and my Grandfather used to tend bar in the bar they filmed at.
   -Before Sunset, and After Sunrise, young American finds romance on foreign soil, twice.
   -The Lover, or Hero or Chung King Express or anything else with Tony Leung in it, yum...
