Why in the hell do women voluntarily watch movies they know going to make them cry? I just don't understand it. My wife actually seeks out these kinds of movies.
However, despite this signigicant matter, my favorite movies are mob flicks. I especially loved Once Upon A Time in America. James Woods ends up in the trash truck all compacted. De Niro kicks butt!!
Mostly "action" flicks bore me to tears. Why do men want to watch them and make me cry? I don't know why men find them so enthralling. Most are just too cheesy to even bother with watching.
So, tell my why men voluntarily watch crap like Rambo, Independence Day and Die Hard..........uuuhhhhgggg. : ) Where's the plot?

It's a guy thing. Every real man wants, in his own mind and spirit, be able to do his duty, to stand in the face of overwhelming odds in defense of all that is good and right, and prevail. It is not even the accolades it's like the line in the old Western where the quiet Cowboy single handedly captures the Cattle Rustlers, wards off an Indian attack, collars the crooked Sheriff, and then shoots down four fingers of "Red Eye" without gasping. Then when confronted with being told by the pretty Cattle Baron heiress how wonderful he is, who has fallen madly in love with him, then wrings the brim of his hat, looks down and kicks the dust with the toe of his boot, looks up and bashfully and uncomfortably says: "Aw, shucks ma'am, twarn't nuthin'."
It's the same in reverse on "Chick Flicks". Why on earth would someone want to set through 2 boring schmaltzy hours of "Fried Green Tomatoes" or "Love Story". Yecccccccch!!!!!!!!

Never have and never will though there are some great chick flix out there. First Wives Club was great! Chocolate also good. I even liked the updated version of Born Yesterday. Actually I think the updated version was better than the original.
First Wives Club was genuinely witty though - it transcended the "Chick Flick" genre because of the humor and because that one woman's husband was such a bastard you wanted to see the prick get what he deserved. I think "Adam's Rib", and "Bringing Up Baby" were also quite good - the originals that is. And no movie with Bette Davis in it could ever be called strictly a "Chick Flick".
I didn't mind Fried Green Tomatoes. I like the First Wives Club too. I loved My Girl and Stand by Me--great sound tracks too. Oh, and My Girl was a real tear jerker.
