An adaptation of Jane Austen's novel of the same name, Pride and Prejudice , which came out in , is quite easily one of the best chick flicks of all-time.

Not only is there wonderful chemistry and an endearing plot, but its performances and cinematography combine to make for one of the best chick flicks of the s. Starring Keira Knightley, the movie has impeccable dialogue and a keen sense of wit. Movies with modern settings are great and all, but sometimes Victorian era-style films are most exemplary of what entails a fantastic chick flick. You'd truly be missing out on your chick flick binge-a-thon if you didn't include Pride and Prejudice.

Watch it today! One of the only movies on this list that breaks into R-rated territory likely in part because it was released in , Four Weddings and a Funeral is the chick flick classic that launched Hugh Grant into stardom.

Made in six weeks with a budget so tight that extras were asked to wear their own clothes, the film was an accidental smash hit at the box office, going on to briefly become the highest grossing British film in history.

The film is carried by an adorably nonplussed Hugh Grant, who chases around the love of his life through a series of increasingly complicated life events, from weddings to funerals and everything in between. Of the myriad of Cinderella movies that have been produced over the years, ranging from classic to the tremendously forgettable sorry, Selena Gomez , Ever After is one of our top picks.

Featuring a young Drew Barrymore in a sort-of-Renaissance-but-not-quite take on the classic Cinderella tale, Ever After injects a dose of realism into the Cinderella story, balancing fantasy with history by re-imagining the tale in 16th century France. The period costumes are incredible and poofy sleeves and bedazzled headdresses abound along with a heaping portion of men running around in those sort of flowy cotton tops a la Colin Firth in Pride and Prejudice.

The general gist of the film is not all that different from the original Cinderella story—an orphaned girl is mistreated by her evil stepmother played with relish by Angelica Houston and eventually ends up at a ball where the prince, won over in part by her kindness but mostly by how good she looks in a ball gown, tries to woo her, but she has to flee at midnight, and he launches a quest to find her and propose.

This version expands significantly on that framework, adding a side story about the Brothers Grimm, renaming Cinderella Daniella and adding a cast of characters not included in the original tale, including a villain, a band of gypsies and, inexplicably, Leonardo Da Vinci.

The film also covers broader moral territory than the original tale, touching on concepts of economic theory and civil rights, if only lightly. When Devil Wears Prada first appeared on the scene in , it was hailed as a blockbuster success— in part because of its compellingly scathing depiction of the fashion industry, but mostly due to its talented and star-studded cast. Streep essentially runs away with the film, starring as the fearsome and highly quotable Miranda Priestly, considered at the time to be one of the best modern female villains to arrive on the big screen.

More funny then sappy, the film is a great choice for a movie night when you need a good laugh, or just a reminder that Meryl Streep is the greatest actress of all time. Though it recently celebrated its twentieth anniversary, Center Stage remains one of the most iconic dance movies in modern memory. Producers were worried that a movie set in a fictional ballet academy and concluding with an almost ten minute dance sequence had no audience in the modern movie marketplace.

Other than a young Zoe Saldana, director Nicholas Hytner makes the choice to cast dancers over actors, a decision that does lose the movie some dramatic heft. Is it cheesy? Are the romances contrived and the drama predictable?

Is it still very, very watchable? Definitely yes. A lesser-known member of the chick flick drama, About Time stars Domhnall Gleeson and Rachel McAdams—with a young Margot Robbie making a very brief appearance—and is built on the unusual premise that Gleeson has inherited an ability unique to the men of his family: the ability to travel through time. But his father informs him that the only way to use his time traveling is within the context of his own life, and that pursuing money or material wealth will only make him miserable.

The best use of his ability, says his father, is to correct mistakes in his own life as they arrive and pursue the best version of his life that he is able. The film proceeds to follow Gleeson as he attempts to start a life for himself, armed with all the perks and pitfalls of his newfound ability.

The writers make the wise choice to, instead of focusing on just one relationship or love interest, follow Gleeson throughout his life, from his graduation of college to the early years of his marriage and eventual family, exploring what it is to pursue your best life when you have the option of endless re-dos—and what it is to let go and live in the present.
