A Knight’s Tale (2001)

A Knight’s Tale is one of my favorite movies of all time. It’s not exactly a chick flick, but there’s enough romance and emotion to make it qualify. This is a chick flick that even the boys can enjoy – plus Heath Ledger was adorable in it as was Shannyn Sossamon, so there’s someone for both genders to drool over. And Paul Bettany (The Secret Life of Bees)… I love that guy. He’s so funny in this movie.

The action is great, the comedy is hilarious and the acting is above-par for a teen flick. A Knight’s Tale is a winner on all fronts.

The story might be a little familiar but A Knight’s Tale tells it in an engrossing and entertaining way. You know young Will is going to change his stars and defeat the baddie (played wonderfully by the incredible, and adorable, Rufus Sewell), but you love waiting for it to happen. Another awesome Girl’s Night In Movie, or a good date movie.

Finding Neverland (2004)

Why no one brought Johnny Depp and Kate Winslet together before Finding Neverland is beyond me. These two are so great together and the entire cast is incredible. The children, especially Freddie Highmore (Charlie and The Chocolate Factory, August Rush), are incredible. There is nothing about this movie that doesn’t work.

Johnny and Kate are brilliant in their roles and Johnny is unbelievably gorgeous as always. I don’t know how that man can be so consistently edible (except for maybe at the end of The Libertine). I loved how Finding Neverland really took us into the mind of the man that gave us Peter Pan and paralleled it so well with his home life.

Finding Neverland is at times hard to watch, particularly the especially awkward dinner scene. But it’s a warm, engrossing movie that tells a great love story and a great story over all. Definitely a must see movie.

The Princess Bride

Ahhh, to be the Princess Bride! This movie came out way back in 1987, but it’s still a fun movie and a classic chick flick. It also has enough rough looking guys in it doing battle that you may be able to invite your boyfriend over to watch it with you. Good luck with that!

I’m STILL waiting for my Prince to come along on his horse and sweep me off my feet…*sigh*
