BLOG: TOP 10 CHICK FLICKS

Listen up LADIES! This list doesn't come from any magazine of TV broadcast, no this came straight from a couple of my friends from facebook. I understand if you don't agree, but nevertheless, I thought it'd be fun to let you know. :D

So without further a do...

stricklyLEISURE's TOP 10 CHICK FLICKS

No# 10: NEVER BEEN KISSED (Drew Barrymore and David Arquette)

Who disagree that this film deserves to be in the list? I mean it's the story of a copy-editor of the Chicago Sun Times who landed her big break as a journalist. But in her undercover feature, she doesn't just get to be 17 again, she finds out that no matter what era you go through high school, nothing truly changes. But of course - who can resist the fact the the title holds the promise of the PERFECT kiss?

No# 9: CLUELESS (Alicia Silverstone and Paul Rudd)

The typical teen movie that took the 90's by storm. From the fashion trends to the quirky lingo, Clueless changed the rules of teen films. Who could forget Cher Horowitz and her band of popular, yet eloquent friends? From her long blond hair to her classic platforms, Cher ruled the school. But for someone with great ideals and the wardrobe to match it, how could she be so Clueless?

No# 8: DEFINITELY MAYBE (Ryan Reynolds, Abigail Breslin, Isla Fisher, Elizabeth Banks and Rachel Weisz)

Love...hmmm...it's hard to define. There's a love that you share between your parent and siblings; love between you and your spouse; love between you and your children; heck! - there's even the love between you and your pets! But Will Hayes never thought he would fall in love 3 times in his life, fact of the matter is, love could be right in front of you.

No# 7: 10 THINGS I HATE ABOUT YOU (Julia Stiles, Heath Ledger, Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Larisa Oleynik)

Ahh, Shakespeare. Who can deny that he could write things straight through history? This modern adaptation of the beloved play, The Taming of The Shrew has captured all our hearts. The natural story of bad boy meets good girl - with a bit of money on the side - and (hypothetically) fall in love. No wonder we love it so much! - talk about D.R.A.M.A.

No# 6: THE PROPOSAL (Sandra Bullock and Ryan Reynolds)

We've heard the story before, no green card, no America. But when Margaret Tate gets the boot, she decides to dig her heels and loop an engagement ring on her assistant's finger. Andrew Paxton is not happy, not only has he been sucked into this dead-end job, but now he's marrying the Devil. But who says love doesn't spring from...strong dislike?
No# 5: THE NOTEBOOK (Rachel McAdams and Ryan Gosling)

This list will not be complete with the Nicholas Spark classic. The story of a rich pretty girl falling in love with a strong-broad poor boy being torn apart by society and her family. But against all odds, they finally make it together in the end - and then we realise that she's forgotten everything, but he is by her side, till death brought them back together.

No# 4: A WALK TO REMEMBER (Mandy Moore and Shane West)

Another Sparks classic that cannot be overlooked. The tale of a good Christian girl who witness the miracle of her bad-boy boyfriend's attitude change. Jamie never gave Landon the time of day to insult or even involuntarily acknowledge her existence, she was an image of perfection. But when her righteousness intrigues him more than he intended, Landon finds himself so in love that he is by her side till the day she dies.

No# 3: SHE'S THE MAN (Amanda Bynes and Channing Tatum)

So girls aren't as good as guys are they? Well, Viola decides she wants to prove her coach and ex-boyfriend wrong by pretending to be her brother Sebastian. When girls decided to dress up as guys, you know it's a recipe for disaster! But when push-comes-to-shove, Viola has to show her...umm...true form...in order to untangle the web of deceit that she's weaved!

No# 2: JOHN TUCKER MUST DIE (Brittany Snow, Jesse Metcalfe, Arielle Kebbel, Sophia Bush and Ashanti)

When a guy cheat's on you once it's harsh, but when a guy cheats on you 3 times, it's a war zone. Carrie, Beth and Heather all though the school stud, John Tucker was theirs. The all thought that they were the "only girl for him", but when new-girl Kate sees him for what he is, they decide that she has to become the ULTIMATE John Tucker charmer in order to pay-back all the hurt that John's inflicted on them. But Kate got cold feet...so what now? - definitely not ready to put up the white flag!

stricklyLEISURE's NO# 1 CHICK FLICK is....

MEAN GIRLS(Lindsay Lohan, Rachel McAdams, Lacey Chabert, Amanda Seyfried and Tina Fey)


Who can deny this ultimate chick flick the right to number 1? It's got the best quotes from, "That is sooo FETCH!" to "If you're from Africa, why are you white?" The Clueless for a whole new generation, Mean Girls takes "girl world" into serious considerations. With the reality placed before our eyes, behind all the humorous scenarios and outrageous rules, the message is loud and clear for all the ladies in the world - DON'T BE MEAN!





Hope you enjoyed!
