List - Movies that beat me down
The other day, I happened to notice that The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants was making it’s triumphant return to proudly stand over the dead bodies of the men it beat lifeless the first time around. This got me thinking…what are my top movies that are geared towards women that wear me out:
In no particular order:
1) Steel Magnolias
2) Thelma and Louise
3) Joy Luck Club
4) How Stella Got Her Groove Back
5) Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants
6) Hope Floats
7) Where The Heart Is
I’m sure I could dig up others, but I would like to hear some comments from others. So that this is an equal-opportunity blog, I would also like to hear from the women what male-geared movies beat them down.

I actually liked Joy Luck Club. It was more about the human condition than just a chick flick.

Stella would never have got her groove back if she had met the same men as Thelma and Louise. Then if Thelma and Louise had sat through Hope Floats, they would have jumped off the cliff faster. For the most part, the above mentioned movies were pretty good. For all the men who can watch our chick flicks without asking, “Can we go home yet?” 15 minutes into the movie, hats off to you, gentlemen. Maybe hope does float after all.
