Best Chick Flick?

DVD Talk Ultimate Edition
The most recent good one I've seen is The Notebook.
I think Serendipity fits the bill as well.
From a few more days past, Bed of Roses was a pretty good flick.
And probably the most underrated, in my opinion is The Princess Bride, because it's got the humor for you, but chicks dig the whole romantic aspect of it. I've used that as a goto chick flick for quite some time, because I can watch it and not be bored in the least.

I haven't seen any recent ones that were worthwhile.

French Kiss and Stardust. Never saw them but my sister likes Maid in Manhattan and Two Weeks Notice.

Jerry Maguire (though who hasn't seen that)
An Officer and a Gentleman (again, not a traditional chick flick, but that's a good thing)
Dirty Dancing
Romancing the Stone
Jewel of the Nile (after RtS)
Splash
Pretty in Pink

Oh c'mon, the first 3/4 of Match Point plays out like a total chick flick.
The moral and conclusion, not so much, but then thats what makes it stand out.

They don't all have to be exactly the same, in a normal chick flick he would have been acceptable but had his heart warmed over come the end... MP just took it another route during a key moment.

Say Anything is one of my top 10 favorites ever. My personal favorite. Others:
True Romance (if she's into heavier stuff, this is a must)
Streets of Fire (80's movie, kicks all sorts of ass, action movie with an equal amount of badassery and romance)
Before Sunrise and Sunset makes a decent double feature.
Not sure if this is necessarily a date movie, but I saw The Devil Wears Prada a few months back at someone's house and I absolutely loved it...completely caught me off guard, it's not what you'd expect.

Almost Famous is not a chick flick. Is there a romantic plot? Sure but that's not the main focus of the story. It's a think piece about a mid-level band struggling with their own limitations in the harsh face of stardom.

Damn you guys for agreeing, I know it's the antithesis of chick flick but it can be sold as one so easily :P

ewww, ewwww .... you didn't say "no"
Thanks for the suggestion. I actually tracked down the OOP Korean release of it that has both cuts (director/theatrical). Paid a hefty sum for it on the aftermarket and still haven't watched it for fear that it won't be worth the price I paid!! One of these days I'll get to it ... I'm absolutely in love with Ye-jin .......
