Practical Magic is one of my favorites.

I love the way the women overcome their "differences" (ok, so the sisters are witches) and bond together to get rid of the evil guy.

It is based on the novel by Alice Hoffman. Can't go wrong with one of her stories.

Find a hot man like James McAvoy or Gerard Butler and just watch their movies or along those lines..

As far as a older movie I would suggest Beauty Shop and of course Thelma and Lousie.

Would you delve into the archives for How to Make an American Quilt?
Or Terms of Endearment? Both great chick flicks on cross-generational bonds between women.
Then there's Steel Magnolias, also a great one about bonds between women.
Recently saw The Women, although not on video yet--look for it soon. Not Oscar-worthy or anything but touches on very relevant themes to married women and moms.

Not a big fan of "chic flicks" because most of them are close enough to being soft porn for women. It seems that there is at least one sex scene or a scene that implies sex with someone other than her husband/his wife (aka fornication, affair, adultery). Whatever you want to call it, or however you "wine & dine it" it is still wrong.

Now I know that there are some movies out there that do not fall into that group that are still considered "chic flicks"

I think that Lake House is my favorite.

Comedy: I love "My Favorite Wife" with Cary Grant and Irene Dunne. :-)

Drama/General:
"No Reservations" was really good with Catherine Zeta Jones. Seconding "Pride and Prejudice" (the long, wonderful A&E version). "Little Women" with Winona Ryder. "Anne of Green Gables" (never tire of it).
