Chick flick : a movie that makes women run to the theater and drive their boyfriend/husband crazy.

Nothing is comparable to a bag of popcorn and a box of Kleenex to release your angers and worries of the day, with the great company of… let’s say Hugh Grant in The Englishman Who Went up a Hill but Came down a Mountain, Julia Roberts in Notting Hill or yummy Ryan Reynolds in The Proposal. Men seem to agonize when watching those movies, but we, women, just ask for more and more and…

Women just love those movies à la Cinderella, the cheesy beauty lovy dubby type of movie. So we thought that here, on romantic comedies on DVD, it was time to take a look back at what the movie industry has brought us in terms of chick flicks and what are the biggest chick flicks of all time.
