right then,
3 votes each, top 3 Chick-Flicks go into the final 64.

By the way - I've sorted out the lists, making sure each film appears in round 2 only once, in (hopefully) the most apt genre, takes a hell of a sorting out, checking back through the votes etc to replace those films I've omitted. Hopefully you all agree with the chosen genres and may be pleased to see a few films that narrowly missed out have now been included at the expense of those in multiple genres.

Aaagh - I am am thinking about it too much.

Should I be voting for the best chickflick film or should I be voting for the best film in the list :?

eg Dirty Dancing is I think the best chickflick - but maybe not the best film. Whereas Educating Rita is a terrible chickflick but a great film.

Must be the latter.

Ack - I voted for them both.

Why is Educating Rita a 'terrible chickflick'? It's a romantic comedy with a strong female lead character and contains no action or violence. Sounds like a chickflick to me...

Top Gun on the other hand... :shock:

About Top Gun...

Sid: It is a story about a man's struggle with his own homosexuality. It is! That is what Top Gun is about, man. You've got Maverick, all right? He's on the edge, man. He's right on the eff line, all right? And you've got Iceman, and all his crew. They're gay, they represent the gay man, all right? And they're saying, go, go the gay way, go the gay way. He could go both ways.
Duane: What about Kelly McGillis?
Sid: Kelly McGillis, she's heterosexuality. She's saying: no, no, no, no, no, no, go the normal way, play by the rules, go the normal way. They're saying no, go the gay way, be the gay way, go for the gay way, all right? That is what's going on throughout that whole movie... He goes to her house, all right? It looks like they're going to have sex, you know, they're just kind of sitting back, he's takin' a shower and everything. They don't have sex. He gets on the motorcycle, drives away. She's like, "What the eff, what the eff is going on here?" Next scene, next scene you see her, she's in the elevator, she is dressed like a guy. She's got the cap on, she's got the aviator glasses, she's wearing the same jacket that the Iceman wears. She is, okay, this is how I gotta get this guy, this guy's going towards the gay way, I gotta bring him back, I gotta bring him back from the gay way, so I'll do that through subterfuge, I'm gonna dress like a man. All right? That is how she approaches it. Okay, now let me just ask you - I'm gonna digress for two seconds here. I met this girl Amy here, she's like floating around here and everything. Now, she just got divorced, right? All right, but the REAL ending of the movie is when they fight the MIGs at the end, all right? Because he has passed over into the gay way. They are this gay fighting eff force, all right? And they're beating the Russians, the gays are beating the Russians. And it's over, and they eff land, and Iceman's been trying to get Maverick the entire time, and finally, he's got him, all right? And what is the last eff line that they have together? They're all hugging and kissing and happy with each other, and Ice comes up to Maverick, and he says, "Man, you can ride my tail, anytime!" And what does Maverick say? "You can ride mine!" Swordfight! Swordfight! eff' A, man!
