There is nothing more coveted - now or anytime of the year - than some time on the couch, curled up with a pillow and blanket, your favourite refreshment and a sinful snack, and a good movie to enjoy.
Here, from our friends at Blockbuster, is the top "chick flicks" sure to make your wish list this holiday season.
1. The Proposal
Sandra Bullock is at her best in this fresh laugh-out-loud romantic comedy. On the verge of being deported and losing the high-powered job she lives for, the controlling Margaret announces she is engaged to her unsuspecting, put-upon assistant Andrew (Ryan Reynolds).
2. Sex and the City: The Movie
Based on the famously popular HBO TV series, the film follows the antics of Carrie (Sarah Jessica Parker), Samantha, Charlotte and Miranda as they prepare for Carrie's impromptu wedding to her Mr. Big.
3. Dirty Dancing: 20th Anniversary Edition
A young girl named Baby (Jennifer Grey) is vacationing with her parents at a rural hotel when she meets a troupe of dancers who specialize in sexy routines. When the group's leader (Patrick Swayze) suddenly needs a new partner Baby volunteers against the wishes of her well-meaning but staid parents.
4. The Notebook
The Notebook follows the lives of two North Carolina teens (Ryan Gosling and Rachel McAdams) from very different worlds. Her upbringing takes place in an antebellum mansion and he grew up in the kind of house where musicians jam on the porch. But that doesn't stop Noah and Allie from spending one indelible summer together before they are sepearted, first by her parents and then by W.W.II.
5. Ghost: Special Collection
After Sam (Patrick Swayze) is murdered, he realizes that the life of his girlfriend (Demi Moore) is also in danger and tries to warn her from beyond the grave in this suspenseful romance which was one of the top movies of 1990.

Thanks for the win!
I love a good chick flick! One of my favourites, especially from when I was in University, is Coyote Ugly!! love the Leanne Rimes music, and the chicky-ness of it all!
I love everything Christmas so I would have to say the Grinch, the new version.
I know crazy but tis the season.
I don't get out enough to see movies on the big screen, unless they are children movies. My favourite, I would say, is Sex in the City movie. I actually won a copy on Weewelcome. I seem to be able to relate with all 4 characters in one way or another. It's a little escape from my "mom" world and reminds me on my single days.
I'm a big fan of romantic movies and so, my fave is Simply Irresistible!!! I feel it's a magical movie where emotions are at play and I can't keep myself form watching it over and over again:-)
Wow! Really hard to pick 1... At this time of year I really enjoy "Family Man" - with Nicholas Cage. It's about a young couple who make a decision that changes the course of their lives but then the man gets a glipmse of what his life 'could' have been. GREAT holiday movie (for adults)!!
My new favorite movie is the Proposal... I watched it by myself at the theatre and I never noticed I was alone because I was so entertained and laughed my head off. =)
One of my favs especially this time of year is Love Actually. A great story on love in all forms!
Those are great movies!
I have so many... its hard to think of one favourite.
My top funny movie is by far Forgetting Sarah Marshall.
