Would you accept 'The Princess Bride'?

Upon further consideration I will add 'Casablanca' and 'Romy and Michelle's High School Reunion' - I was completely loving Mira Sorvino after that.

Wow, it's like you answered before I even posted.

^I always found "Imitation of Life" to be really patronizing. I haven't seen the '34 version, just the Lana Turner one from the '50s. Oh, another chick flick I thought of: "Romy and Michele's High School Reunion"! *edit: Whoa, that's freaky, everyone jumped at Romy and Michele at the same time.

Wow, it's like we're on all on the same wavelength... spooky...........
edit: I mean really, that's really weird.
edit 2: I mean that's one of the weirdest things that ever happened, ever.

I was more into Lisa Kudrow in that. Mira Sorvino has better legs, but Lisa Kudrow has better...um...boobs.

The difference to me was that Mira Sorvino is a good actress.
Oh, and looks-wise there's no comparison.
You're a boob chick I guess, I'm a face guy.

Sure, I don't like Lisa but I liked her in that, and I've never even heard of 'imitation of life'

^She is a good actress, but I don't think Lisa Kudrow is a bad one either. She has comic timing at least, which is the most important thing in a movie like Romy and Michele. But what do you mean lookswise there's no comparison? Which one are you saying looks better? And yeah, I am a boob chick. And a leg chick. And a face chick. But somehow, as great as Mira's legs are, I still think Lisa's boobs pwn them. Plus, I'd say they're about on par with each other as far as face goes. "Imitation of Life" is basically a slightly sappy tragic mulatta tale about a fairskinned black girl who rejects her family and her roots when she passes for white. And they throw in a white mother and daughter team who are in love with the same man or something, I can't remember really...it's been a few years since I saw it. Another part of why I probably hated the '50s version was that I can't stand Lana Turner. Ugh, the woman reminds me of this WASPy white bitch I used to know. @ethel: Oh, so they added the showgirl bit for the '50s one? That's the part that bugged me the most. Ugh, made my skin crawl when I watched it.

I'm not trying to hate on Lisa at all, she's not bad... Ms Sorvino is Academy Award winning and you can just tell that she's extremely intelligent. Which one are you saying looks better? And yeah, I am a boob chick. And a leg chick. And a face chick. But somehow, as great as Mira's legs are, I still think Lisa's boobs pwn them. Plus, I'd say they're about on par with each other as far as face goes. - Find me a picture that demonstrates Ms Kudrow's superior chest.. I'd say that facially there is no contest: Kudrow attractive, Sorvino gorgeous. But we already know how seriously to take your taste in women.. "WASPy white bitch" - redundancy

The Cutting Edge. I love Moira Kelly (who, incidentally, happens to be from my area of NY).
Kate: I'm sure I don't do anything you would find exciting. I don't open beer bottles with my toes, I don't sit around and count what's left of my teeth, hey, I don't even enjoy a good tractor pull. Doug: Life of the party, huh? Place must be crawling with guys. Kate: As a matter of fact, I do have a boyfriend. Doug: Well there's a rough gig. What do you do, keep him chained up in the basement? Kate: Hale at the moment is working in my father's London office, he's an MBA - Harvard. You may have heard of it. They do have a hockey team. Doug: He must be very smart. I bet you look pretty good from a few thousand miles away.
Kate: You are an immature asshole of the lowest order. Doug: If it was forty below and that button meant the difference between a long satisfying life and a cold horrible death from hypothermia, I still wouldn't give you the satisfaction! Skate!
Oh. I love the banter in that movie.
And I'd have to say BBC's Pride & Prejudice, if you count that as a chick flick.

^I loooooved The Cutting Edge when I was a kid.
@long: I'm not denying that Mira's a good actress, and I loved Mighty Aphrodite. But I find it a bit laughable that good actresses constantly only get rewarded for playing stupid prostitutes in movies. Just watch Romy and Michele again. I don't have pictures of their chests, I'm not some freak who collects celebrity boobs. Lisa Kudrows chest might not even be better in real life, but it sure as hell looked better in the movie. She can fill out a sweater nicely. Mira...not so much. And they just look like they're shaped differently. I don't think either of them are gorgeous in the face, I think they're both cute in the face though.
No, WASPy and white are not necessarily redundant. WASPy with a "y" added at the end is in reference to a typical attitude. I find Gwyneth Paltrow to have a severe WASPiness about her, even though she's half Jewish.

"I don't have pictures of their chests, I'm not some freak who collects celebrity boobs."
- Shall I introduce you to the wonders of the internet? Google image search... ta-da!
- You can use WASPy however you like, but I'd never use it on anyone that wasn't white. Gwyneth? hmmm.. yup, she's white I think. Let me google image it to be sure.
- So does 'Princess Bride' count or not.

Just watch the movie again. If you're such a big fan of it, then it wouldn't be torture for you to watch it again anyway. It's clear as day in the movie. Lisa Kudrow's boobs > Mira Sorvino's boobs.
WASP = White Anglo Saxon Protestant
^Being half Jewish, Gwyneth Paltrow could not be technically called a WASP. But she still f***ing reeks of WASPiness.
