Legendary – a classic. I don’t really know what to say about Titanic. We’ve all seen it and we all love it. This is a movie that gets better every time you watch it.
Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet have the kind of chemistry that sets the screen on fire. We lose ourselves in Jack and Rose. Leonardo and Kate don’t exist. They play their roles flawlessly. It’s no surprise no one believed they weren’t a couple off-screen.
Titanic really has everything a girl could ask for in a chick flick – romance, drama, action, a cute boy and a weep-inducing ending. There is nothing about Titanic that doesn’t work and that’s why we all love it so much.
Cinderella
This is without question my favorite animated Disney movie, but one of the best chick flicks ever made. It has everything we love – an unassuming, quiet girl whom nobody ever pays much attention to, unless its to abuse her in some way, is swept off her feet by her dashing prince. It’s the blueprint for nearly every chick flick ever made, and it’s done so beautifully.
The animation in Cinderella is classic and timeless. Cinderella is beautiful. Her step-sisters are appropriately fugly and the prince is handsome. The little animals that help Cinderella along the way are so adorable I could just squish them with love. And the fairy godmother is so motherly and warm. Sure the actual animation is crude compared to today’s animated movies, but that’s part of the appeal.
