you are consigning Star Wars, Jumpin' Jack Flash, Ghostbusters, the LotR trilogy, the Batman films, Tai Chi master, Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon, Doctor Zhivago, Con Air, Leon, The Fifth Element, all Deadly Weapon films, the Avengers films... I could go on... to the genre.

All depending on the female audience in question, of course.

Not to mention all films that have ever won best picture, I think.

That's a mighty random (but pretty great) list of films. All those are a romance? (as opposed to having romantic aspects - yes, there are love interests in Ghostbusters, but come on). And all of those made you cry? Con Air, really? :D


They are not all "romance" (whatever you understand by the term -- romantic comedies?), but they all have romance elements which are significant to the plot, I think. And most of those have made me cry (LotR for slightly different reasons). Including Con Air (well, I teared up, anyway). I cry easily.

Come on? That is just my point. Come on. Casablanca? Come on.

You know damn well how I meant my definition and that it's rather accurate ;)


Not really. I find the whole concept of "chick flicks" problematic.
