Filmsite.org's 100 Memorable and Great 'Chick' Flicks

A "chick flick" is chirrupy and upbeat, sings a different tune, more defiant and ironic, postmodern and post-feminist, like the growling braggadocio of "grrrl power". Where "grrrl power" says "I can be cute and assertive too", "chick flick" says: "I’m emancipated but it’s OK to long for romance, to get hung up on a guy, to obsess about mothers or children."
