1. While You Were Sleeping: This is about the cutest movie I've ever seen. Sandra Bullock's character, Lucy, all filled with guilt because a family thinks she's their comatose son's fiance is pure entertainment. Lucy all filled with even MORE guilt when she falls in love with their OTHER son, is even better.
2. Hope Floats: Sandra Bullock's character should have never left a town where Harry Connick Jr. lived in the first place. Yeah, the pic on this one is bigger, because I think Harry is muy SEXY!
3. My Big Fat Greek Wedding: Makes me laugh out loud and isn't John Corbett a dream?
4. Steel Magnolias: Tear Jerker. If you need a good cry, rent this one.
5. Divine Secrets of the Ya-Ya Sisterhood: Another tear jerker. The scene where Ashley Judd has the kids by herself and one is shitting and one is throwing up is something every mother on the planet can relate to.
6. Sleeping With the Enemy: My favorite scene is where she and Mr. Drama Coach are dancing in the prop room to Sweet Sue. Another favorite scene is where she shoots her abusive husband right after she calls the police to tell them she's shot an intruder. Die, Bastard!
7. Terms of Endearment: The mother of all tear jerkers. The scene I always remember is when Debra Winger's character, who is dying of cancer, tells her surly oldest son that someday he will remember how he treated her and wonder if she knew he loved her. "I know you love me, Tommy." Jeez, I'm choking up right now!
8. How to Lose a Guy in Ten Days: Anything starring Matt Mac is going to hold my attention for a good long time. And their warped and out of tune rendition of "You're so Vain" about made me pee my pants laughing the first time I heard it.
9. When Harry Met Sally: Meg Ryan's impression of an orgasm in the middle of a crowded restaurant has gone down in movie history.
10. You've Got Mail: Tom Hanks is just adorable in this one. He and Meg Ryan have what is known as true movie screen chemistry.
11. Sleepless in Seattle: Again, Tom Hanks. Adorable.
12. Footloose: Don't you just love a movie that makes you want to dance?
13. Pretty Woman: Man finds a prostitute on street, gives her everything she wants, makes her discover everything she could be. Rides up on his white horse and whisks her away at the end. Modern day Cinderella story.
And yes, Mr. Jackson has endured each and every one of these movies with me like a trooper, even though I know he'd rather be watching a shoot-em-up-drive-your-car-into-a-fire-or-off-a-cliff action movie. I love you, Mr. Jackson!

OMG! My Big Fat Greek Wedding is the best! It totally reminds me of my Italian Family. Great list! Thanks for checking out my 13! Happy Thursday.
Excellent list! Well, I haven't seen Lose A Guy, but other than that, I'm right there with you! Especially While You Were Sleeping.
I LOVE your list!!! Great picks for sure.
what about dirty dancing???
smiles, bee
Ah, I missed that one, Bee!
Great movies!
Tell Mister Jackson it's good for him.
Yeah, Mister Jackson is spoiled rotten anyway, so he can live with it, hee hee! But then so am I...
Oh, we have seen all of those movies! My favorite is #3, #9 and #13. Great list.
Those are all great movies. :) Nice list. :)
You asked about Sphynx and people with allergies. Some people with allergies can tolerate Sphynx, some can't. My husband is very, very allergic to other cats, but our Sphynx doesn't bother him at all, even though our cat has rubbed his face all over hubbie's and has slept on his pillow. But it really depends on the individual.
Thanks, Dragonheart for the info! I love cats, but have always been so allergic, *sniff*
I love Footloose. Thanks for visiting my TT #17.
This weeks is about lilies
I haven't seen the YaYa Sisterhood yet. Must wait for hubby to go out of town and check it out! Good list...and I'm like Empress Bee, where's Dirty Dancing?

Okay, those are some good movies, but haven't seen them all. Greek Wedding was pretty funny. Lyn from Bloggin' Outloud
Great list. I'm not much of a movie goer - I need to start renting movies again. I do think it's great that your hubby will go with you to see them, though. Mine absolutely won't!
Oh, yeah, there are some nice movies on this list. and I'm not even into romantic comedies. LOL
When Harry met Sally is a must. And My Big Fat Greek Wedding was pretty entertaining, although I have to say John Corbett looked way better 15 years ago. And Pretty Woman, cheesy as it may be what with all the god-awful clothes and hairdos, is just a classic. Richard Gere has never looked better.
Thanks for stopping by my site. :o)
I love those movies too! My all time two favorite movies that can always put me in a good movie are The money pit, Tom Hanks and Shelly Long, and Micki and Maude, on old Dudley Moore movie.
I'm with Empress Bee. What about Dirty Dancing??? Sleepless in Seattle is the only one I've seen. See what happens when you quit watching TV or going to movies? Happy TT :)
You named some of my favorites. I really like Sleeping with the Enemy. It still scares me.
CHICK. FLICK. CENTRAL.
WOW!!!!!!!!!!!
I almost felt like crying and spooning as I scrolled down the page.
Godfather???? Matrix????? STAR WARS??????!!!!!!!!!!!!
#9 When Harry Met Sally is my favorite!
Thanks for visiting me at:

I was getting a little nervous when I didn't see Pretty Woman, then I scrolled down and I was able to breathe again! All of those are great movies. I watch Steel Magnolias and Pretty Woman regularly.
Seth, have I mentioned you're a complete smart ass? I know I have, surely...
BTW folks, he's my brother so I can talk mean to him all I want...:P ;)
Comedy, if you only watch one of these movies, I would say watch While You Were Sleeping. It's a truly funny comedy.
Yay for Ya-Yas! And Terms of Endearment.. what a tearjerker!
Hi, you just came by my place I have seen your name around here and there lately. So Now I will get to know you a little better. I just had neck surgery so I need to go take a nap for right now. See ya more later. Callie
Great list and I totally agree!! Sleeping with the Enemy is my favorite movie of all times....besides Shrek:)
All my fave's. Great list Happy TT!
How nice of you to stop by West of Mars!
I have to confess that I haven't seen probably most of these movies; I'm just not a movie watcher anymore. That might need to change, though.
Great list! Those are all on mine, too...but you forgot The Princess Bride. Love that one!!
Happy TT. :)
No Patrick Swayze. Dirty Dancing is the Chickest Flick in the world in my humble opinion =-) In fact hubby and I went to one of the special 20th Anniversary Screen showings last week. I have a great hubby.
Cindi
I have a confession, folks. Dirty Dancing is one Chick Flick I cannot get Mr. Jackson to watch!
But Patrick Swayze is a doll, is he not?
Good list, nothing like a chick flick to make an evening. My Dh endures a lot of them too. I got Music and Lyrics for mother's day, I'll have to watch it this weekend.
Do I see a Tom Hanks fan club about to bloom? I love Pretty Woman too x x x
Great List. Mom has seen everyone of them, her favorite is Pretty Woman. Have a fantastic Thursday.
Samantha, Tigger and Mom
What about Beaches?? Love it bawl every time!
I love this list!!! :)
We have the same tastes for sure.
I'll come to movie night at your house anytime, girlfriend.
Thanks for dropping by.
Happy TT!
Thanks to everyone for dropping by! Looks as if I missed a couple:
Dirty Dancing and The Princess Bride.
And yes, Shaz, I would be willing to start a Tom Hanks fan club, right here, right now. I love that guy!
I wouldn't think of Sleeping With the Enemy as a chick flick. To me, chick flick means sappy romantic comedies, LOL.
Man I have no idea what I was thinking yesterday - I read your list and then DID NOT COMMENT!
So now you get a Happy TT13 AND Happy Friday!
Oh, it looks like I forgot Beaches, too!
I guess Sleeping With the Enemy could be questionable as a Chick Flick. But by golly, I love that movie!
