The Ultimate Chick Flick List

“Are you still watching?” the number of times Netflix has shamed me during lockdown is actually rude…. except it’s safe to say that I have, in fact, watched my fair share of films and series during this time – but hey, it happens, and that’s fine!

I’ve had my “doing-absolute-bare-minimum” days, but I’ve also had my busy and productive ones too. Yin-Yang. It’s all about the balance, am I right or am I right?

I feel like I’ve seen so many passive-aggressive posts on social media about using this time to do all the things you’ve never had time to do, to the absolute max, with serious gumption, and that you shouldn’t waste any time, AT ALL.

I agree that it is a good time to do get sh*t done, but I also think you shouldn’t feel guilty if you don’t. Put your feet up and have a glass of wine, you know? Chill out. Sometimes you need to enjoy your afternoon of absolutely nothing.

Someone Great (2019)

Or maybe put on an easy-watching chick flick? The other day I was clearing space on my phone after ignoring the Storage Almost Full notification for 3 years and rediscovered a saved note of all the films I wanted to watch. This was, and still is, quite an extensive list. But it got me thinking, why don’t I refine, and pluck out my favourite chick flicks from it and share the list on here, for all to see. It would mean that anyone can access it, make suggestions, and it also makes a few kb’s of room on my phone. Win, win.

By no means are these all Oscar-worthy, critically acclaimed movies, that’s besides the point and not what a chick flick stands for, no sir. It’s a mixed bag of fun, ugly-crying, comedy-filled, action-packed, weird and iconic films that anyone can watch and enjoy.
