Chilean soaps are pretty good, and they include nudity. La Doña on Chilevision was good. Rubi will always be the best the colonies have to offer.

Probably me. It needs to be the right mood though.

I don't understand, those films are horrible. I love romantic films, but Hallmark is just so campy and unrealistic.

You should watch La Celestina. It is a Spanisg film, but it's amazing.

The six hour version of Pride and Prejudice is the only "chick flick" I ever really liked. The entire cast was just wonderful, especially Alison Steadman as Mrs. Bennet.

I never watched that one. But after a quick look, it reminds me of Carita de Ángel:

You probably know about telenovelas, and the Mexican telenovela is the queen of them all. The Holy Trinity of novelas is:
-Marimar
-La usurpadora
-María la del barrio
I don't know one single woman who hasn't watched at least one of these. I could sperg more about them, but I'd probably need a whole new thread.

No Rosalinda?
HERESY
La usurpadora is banger tho
 
I love 'chick flicks', spent a lot of my childhood with my sister and her friends watching them.
  • Gilmore Girls. Good looking men, hot MILF main character, cute small town, it doesn't get much better than that.
  • Charmed. Who DIDNT want to live in San Francisco with their witch sisters and fight demons because of that show? Also, who didn't avoid getting a tan for years after seeing how luminous Rose McGowan looked in that soft fuzzy camera lighting.
  • Golden Girls, it was healthy to see that even in older age you can still have problems with friends and romance, because growing up you're told you should just 'know better'.
  • Practical Magic. It's a movie, but I watched it so often on repeat it might as well have been a show.
  • Shows like Sister Sister, That's So Raven, Lizzy McGuire, As Told By Ginger, Angela Anaconda, Pepper Ann, and Braceface.
I grew up in the late 90's and early 2000's. So my preferences might seem dated, but I feel everything I've mentioned aged well.
 
I have to agree with Golden Girls, it is great. I also was a big fan of full house back in the day too. Also, I remember some of Mary Kate and Ashley's shows for girls that they starred in. Some of the songs are still in my head to this day, I think the one where they were having a sleepover with friends and one of them was like "If I don't make it, give my goldfish to my twin" and she was like "But I don't want your goldfish.", geez, it has been such a long time ago.

Another one I have memories of is House Bunny. I watched it in high school at a sleepover with all of the girls in my class and it was more enjoyable than I thought. Basically, a playboy bunny becomes a sorority mom after feeling like she is becoming too old to do modeling and tries to make the "uncool" sorority cool again.
 
Back in the 00's there was a show that eventually got a mexican version, it was called Rebelde. It was about teenagers doing teenagers shit, lots of romance, music bands, school drama and so on, it was really popular in latin america.

Back then we had so little choices of entertainment, that even guys watched it but not for the kind of reason you are thinking of: Most of the women in the show were so fucking good looking and hot that I am sure lots of lads beat the meat thinking about them.

Last year I did remember it and let the youtube playlist on whenever I was doing anything and I went up to episode 160, then I found out that there are shipping compilations with all scenes related to each couple and guess what? It was fucking long ass videos.

The only thing that bothers me is that the dubbed version in my country changes the audio and it all sounds really fake, but listening to the original audio, sounds way more natural and without mixing problems.

História Josy e Téo - Parte 1 (3°Temporada)

And I guess some years ago they did a new version in my country and If I recall correctly there is a reboot on netflix but "darker" right now.

It is really entertaining with all the tropes and cliches. Josy and Teo, best couple.
 
Isn't It Romantic is a fun look into those romantic chick flicks by making fun of an exploring the tropes. Like when she tries to say "shit" she's automatically censored, how her fridge is full of fancy ice cream, and the flamboyantly gay neighbor. There's also a fun little thing at the end that I won't spoil.

I haven't seen that yet, sounds interesting

The one Chick Flick I really hated though was Bridesmaids, just wasn't a fan of it. I just didn't like that there were a few of the other bridesmaids like the Disney fangirl that were wasted potential. She could have been a really interesting character if she was expanded on.

When I was a kid I would watch 4Kids hoping to see Sonic X, Kirby, Yu-Gi-Oh, ect and sometimes Winx Club would be on. It wasn't too bad of a show but I think my young boy/lizard brain was mostly fascinated by the relatively revealing clothing the characters wore.

Same, I watched Winx Club for the girls in stripper outfits (consciously though), but partly because it was a girls' show and I wanted to research those cootie-breath girls. I ended up semi-interested in the plot and magic system, but it wasn't very good.

@Fialovy Last year I riffed on Hallmark movies with my mom around Christmas, plan on doing it again soon. Good times.
 
I liked Gilmore Girls alot.

The Notebook surprisingly worked.

Not really a recommendation, but something I wanted to mention.
I had a sister who was really into the movie A Walk To Remember, she played it all the fucking time.
However one weekend I suddenly had that weird feeling where I missed her (still alive, just in a different state), so I decided to watch A Walk To Remember as a way to get nostalgic and remind myself of my sister.
Not a good movie, but Shane West and Mandy Moore actually do great with what they're given with, and the soundtrack actually kicks ass.

One I keep getting recommended is Love Actually. Is it any good?

It's okay, nothing special. Kind of cringe tbh. The dude in love with Keira Knightley comes off as a total creeper.

My go to chick flick will always be My Best Friend's Wedding. I can watch Romy And Michele's High School Reunion and never get sick of it.
 
The Barbie movies were the shit when I was a kid. My favourites were Princess and the Pauper, Fairytopia, and 12 Dancing Princesses. However, there were also the Bratz movies/TV show, which were...definitely an experience. Like, there was a Halloween one about the Bratz girls going to a sleepover which I was absolutely fucking terrified of.

I was also somehow the only child I knew who'd seen Anastasia. Historical accuracy aside, the soundtrack was awesome.
 
Anastasia was Don Bluth's last great film tbh. I've always loved that one. Sometimes I still play Once Upon A December. The biggest film I was into when I was younger was Titanic, which people called a chick flick for some reason. I guess because it was a love story? Speaking of girly things- I'm old enough to remember Leo mania, and yes for a while I was part of that.

Yeah, I liked it too. Too bad they eventually did find the remains of her body in 2004 which totally dates the movie now.

Also, I got drunk and watched this one movie called A Castle for Christmas where this author after her latest book gets panned goes to Scotland because she needs inspiration and she heard there was a castle where her ancestors were groundskeepers is on sale and wants to buy it because she is rich. Of course, the owner of the castle, the descendant of the duke, is such a tsundere and doesn't like the idea of her buying the castle even though he secretly likes her and she decides to throw a Christmas party for the village (which there is this knitting circle at the local pub that the author befriends).

It was an okay movie, but I don't think I could watch it while sober.

I think I've heard of that movie... or a similar story but with some differences, I don't know.
 
I'm a dude, but Mean Girls is an awesome movie. Anastasia was both Don Bluth's best movie and one of my favorite movies from my childhood.

I'll also admit I'm a sucker for Titanic, Moulin Rouge!, and the Romeo & Juliet movie from the 90's.

Anastasia wasn't as good as An American Tail or The Land Before Time, but it's still high up there for me.

Bridesmaids was mentioned. I hated that one mostly because it just wasn't funny to me.

I'll admit I'm a sucker for old Meg Ryan films. Even You've Got Mail.
