O, The Oprah Magazine, Names The Top 'Chick Flicks' of All Time
Oprah.Chick.Flicks.jpg


This past July, O, The Oprah Magazine picked the top "chick flicks" of all time. With the holiday season now upon us, we thought the list bears another look.

"From frothy romances to whale-riding adventures, these films show us who we are, where we've been, what we can take, and better yet, what we can dish out," the O editors write of the list culled by Karen Durbin.

Here are the top films with links to purchase the DVD, if available, or the VHS version on Amazon.com.

  1. "Morocco," directed by Josef von Sternberg
  2. "Camille," directed George Cukor
  3. "Notorious," directed by Alfred Hitchcock
  4. "The French Lieutenant's Woman," directed by Karel Reisz
  5. "The English Patient," directed by Anthony Minghella
  6. "The Women," directed by George Cukor
  7. "Julia," directed by Fred Zinnemann
  8. "Desperately Seeking Susan," directed by Susan Seidelman
  9. "The Truth About Cats & Dogs," directed by Michael Lehmann
  10. "Romy and Michele's High School Reunion," directed by David Mirkin
  11. "The Hours," directed by Stephen Daldry
  12. "All About Eve," directed by Joseph L. Mankiewicz
  13. "Alice Doesn't Live Here Anymore," directed by Martin Scorsese
  14. "Aliens," directed by James Cameron
  15. "Thelma & Louise," directed by Ridley Scott
  16. "What's Love Got to Do With It," directed by Brian Gibson
  17. "Girlfight," directed by Karyn Kusama
  18. "Black Narcissus," directed by Emeric Pressburger and Michael Powell
  19. "The Shop Around the Corner," directed by Ernst Lubitsch
  20. "The Lady Eve," directed by Preston Sturges
  21. "Born Yesterday," directed by George Cukor
  22. "Pat and Mike," directed by George Cukor
  23. "Breakfast at Tiffany's," directed by Blake Edwards
  24. "Bull Durham," directed by Ron Shelton
  25. "Pretty Woman," directed by Garry Marshall

Above are three films that inspire us which fit the "rugged elegant" -- healthy, adventuresome, soulful -- genre.

In addition, a movie not included in Oprah's Top Chick Flick List, but that makes the Rugged Elegant Living list is both the movie, The Thomas Crown Affair starring Pierce Brosnan and Rene Russo, and the soundtrack from the film which includes Windmills of Your Mind by Sting. The music is, no doubt, one of the things that makes this movie.
