How about regular Magnolia? It was so god damn boring that I literally cannot stay awake while watching it. I've tried 3 times and I've fallen asleep every time.



Plot summary:
An epic mosaic of several interrelated characters in search of happiness, forgiveness, and meaning in the San Fernando Valley.

Translation:
It's just like Seinfeld if you removed all of the funny parts and made all of the characters unlikable.

Magnolia is fucking amazing. one of the best flicks of the 90s, easily.

also in no way is it a chick flick.

:hmm:

Sleepless in seattle?

Maybe the Notebook (although more than one male suitor are relevant in the film she doesn't ever need to choose, she's always destined to the one guy from the outset) - Amazing film.

Its been a loong time since I've seen it, but to my recollection, this qualifies.

I thought about the Notebook last night as well and I came to the conclusion that Rachel McAdams' character made a choice between the rich guy and the poor guy.

Hmm well then You've got Mail, essentially the remake, I've seen that more recently and it doesn't

Technically, yes, but the entire film is predicated on the fact that it is a story from the couple, as a couple so as a result any decision she would have made would not have changed the result

Yeah, but you don't find this out until the end of the movie.

That's true, but like the Matrix, the characters are still in the Matrix, even though at the beginning of the film you don't know what the Matrix is, it doesn't effect the fact that they are in it.

Huh? In the movie Titanic, Rose is retelling the story of her time on the Titanic. We know that Rose is a survivor and her rich fiance also survived while Jack died at the end of the movie, but it still means she made a choice.

true, but in Titanic the entire film is not predicated on the fact that the two main characters end up as a couple, in the Notebook it is, whether at first you know it or not.

Sleepless doesn't count. Meg Ryan chooses Tom Hanks over the guy she was with at the beginning of the film.

Julie & Julia

And if you want to count TV shows, 'The L Word' (no guys involved :sneaky:)

Bridges of Madison County

Bored housewife bangs a passing photographer and it is a love story for the ages.


Lets reverse that slightly and see if there is a double standard..

A bored husband bangs his secretary and the guy's a heartless scumbag...

I can't answer this question because I don't have a vagina.

The worst part about chick flicks is a shocking number of women live their lives as if they're in one.
