It Happened Today

“Don't wish me happiness
I don't expect to be happy all the time...
It's gotten beyond that somehow.
Wish me courage and strength and a sense of humor.
I will need them all.”
Anne Morrow Lindbergh, Gift from the Sea

Chic Flicks for Valentine's Day

This list has the potential of being long and predictable so I am concentrating on movies made in the last 15 years.  These are movies where the female characters are strong and the dudes are cute.  In each movie the leading lady has a vulnerability that is endearing (don't we all). Sometimes they are rescued by the man BUT sometimes they do the rescuing.

I would love to hear your thoughts. Tell me your favorite "chic flick" and why.

One Fine Day with Michelle Pfeiffer and George Clooney - Brilliantly beautiful actors and a cute story.
You've Got Mail with Meg Ryan and Tom Hanks - I love the songs as much as the dialogue.
Pride and Prejudice with Keira Knightley and Matthew Macfadyen - Oh Mr. Darcy!
Simply Irresistible with Sarah Michelle Gellar and Sean Patrick Flannery - Simply fun!
A Knight's Tale with Shannyn Sossamon and Heath Ledger - Witty, fun and quotable!
The Wedding Date with Debra Messing and Dermot Mulroney - Tons of fun and a beautiful song by Michael Buble.
Something's Gotta Give with Diane Keaton and Jack Nicholson - The knight wears a shiny white turtle neck!
Calendar Girls with Helen Mirren - Fun after fifty!
It's Complicated with Meryl Streep and Alec Baldwin - Laugh out loud funny and abeautiful house!
Must Love Dogs with Diane Lane and John Cusack - Who is cuter John Cusack, Christopher Plummer or Mother Theresa?

Happy Viewing and Valentine's!
