"Especially "The Mummy Returns" - thats my hubby and me ;D"

Do you play the mummy all the time, or do you take turns?

[MortMan]

How many tries before you got the popcorn salt to stick in the eye? LOL ;-P

[Rummyfan]

my favorite chick flick is Terminator III: Rise of the Machines"

Now that's a chick flick!

[EricT.]

I guess he should stay away from the Lifetime Network too.

Lifetime Network = The Bitter Woman Channel.

[EricT.]

The only "chick flick" I've ever enjoyed was "Her Alibi" with Tom Selleck and Paulina Porizkova.

[schwing_wifey]

Yes... I'm DEFINITELY the "Mummy" and I like it that way....even if we're in Sweden (temporarily) and they're trying to make husbands be more like "Mummies" here. ;D

What this guy needs is more of the highly articulated logic laced reality based Eastwood films. Like where he mops up a gaggle of highly armed and dangerous miscreants with an ax handle and then says, "There's nothing like a good piece of hickory.."

They are fun to watch because Clint demonstrates the most admirable form of gun control= always hit what you aim at, does not back down even when confronted with overwhelming numbers, has great one liners and doesn't waste words where fists, wood, steel or lead will do just fine.

My wife hates them and I fully appreciate that. That's one of the reasons I love her!!!

[Ladysmith]

That makes two of us. The one genre that is really lacking in my collection is chick-flicks. There are a few but it's mostly action-packed, war, or drama films. Oh, and humor.

But chick-flicks - yeeeech. BORING!!!

Pale Rider. One of Clint's worst.

Women can find as many carnal partners as they’d like, regardless of their own appearance

... and after closing-time, you still have the animal kingdom.

[Constitution Day]

I've never seen it.
Mrs. CD knows my No Chick Flick policy and is very understanding.

My wife(girlfriend then) and I went to see "Love Story" and I fell asleep. Chick movies, aka Lifetime Channel, on TV that's what they make books or other TVs for.

[KC_Conspirator]

Pale Rider is a cheap ripoff of "Shane".

[Dashing Dasher]

The trick is to make a chick flick that men will tolerate. For the Love of the Game came close.

Like Dirty Harry?

[durasell]

I'm a fan of his Sergio Leone movies. During which he used to say, "Just don't do something, stand there."

[Pukin Dog]

Need help understanding men?

The prescription for you is a back to back sitting of Godfather II, followed by Scarface. If you don't get us after that, then you are beyond help.

[durasell]

I was thinking more like, Legends of the Fall

[Brett66]

About the best chick flick I've seen was Titanic. I don't have to endure these movies anymore ever since I got divorced.

[massgopguy]

"Say hello to my little friend!" God I love that movie. And I don't think it was the Diaz brothers either Frank. Leave the gun. Take the Canoli.

[tarheelswamprat]

"The Mummy" and "The Mummy Returns" with Brendan Frasier and Rachel Weisz....

Wonderful campy humor and the only movies I remember where the male and female leads are totally wrapped up in each other - no typical "other man" or "other woman" nonsense.

The naked chicks fighting with swords scene was a thoughtful touch, too!
