Chick Flicks That Won't Deplete You of Testosterone

Chick Flicks That Won't Deplete You of Testosterone

You love your girlfriend. She’s got great taste in music, cars, booze, and of course guys. And yet, there is that one thing that happens around February 14: she wants to watch a chick flick. Blame the greeting card companies all you want, but you still may be coerced into two hours of hell if you aren’t careful. Of course, relationships always involve some level of compromise, so if she really is gung ho about the V-Day chick flick extravaganza, check out these Chick Flicks That Won’t Deplete You of Testosterone.

 

 

When Harry Met Sally

Before Meg Ryan got a plastic face and sunk into the doldrums of corny Tom Hanks movies, she starred as Sally in When Harry Met Sally, alongside Billy Crystal. Centered around the question, “Can men and women ever just be friends?” it didn’t gloss over the fact that sometimes you really just want to mess around with your best friend, which is kind of refreshing. Then factor in Ryan’s famous fake orgasm at the deli scene, and you’ve got a chick flick that’s actually pretty good.

 

Annie Hall

Woody Allen may be a weird daughter poacher in real life, but you really like the guy on film. In Annie Hall, he plays a neurotic comedian (i.e. pretty much himself) who has a difficult relationship with a woman named Annie Hall played by Diane Keaton. With his signature wit, Allen shows a relationship go down. And that’s the way the cookie crumbles.

 

Harold and Maude

The movie may be about love, but it’s hardly girly when it revolves around a young morbid guy named Harold that falls in love with an old woman Maude. Besides, the guy knows how to push the young foolish ladies away, with date pranks like faking his own death by pretending to set fire to himself. Of course in the end, Maude dies and Harold pretends to kill himself again. Ball shrinking? I think not.

 

 

Forgetting Sarah Marshall

Let’s face it, Judd Apatow is all over the rom-com.  No matter how many poontang jokes, no matter how many gross mishaps, his movies are all about the love. Only he could make a movie about a guy having a semi-obsessive mental breakdown post-breakup funny, though, with gems like “She got me this, okay, because I would always leave my cereal boxes open and the cereal would get stale. So one day I came home and she had this waiting for me because it keeps my cereal fresh and now I have the freshest cereal.”
