"We&amp;#x27;re onto you, dudes: You love a chick flick and it&amp;#x27;s NOT just to score points with your lady friend!You old softie, you. Look, I don&amp;amp;#8217;t always like to group things into categories of &amp;amp;#8220;for men&amp;amp;#8221; and &amp;amp;#8220;for women&amp;amp;#8221; but it can&amp;amp;#8217;t be denied that common belief is that guys like action movies and women like romances. And frankly, most men I know would confirm that (women&amp;amp;#8217;s opinions seem to be more split). But deep down, I think a lot of guys have a soft spot for at least one stereotypically &amp;amp;#8220;girlie&amp;amp;#8221; movie, and sometimes, they aren&amp;amp;#8217;t even ashamed of it. And rightfully so, some of these movies are undeniably awesome. An informal poll of some friends, and some of my own experiences, contributed to this non-comprehensive list: How To Lose A Guy In 10 Days: This entire post was inspired by my roommate Ryan, who can&amp;#x27;t see this magazine-inspired rom-com while channel surfing and NOT turn it on for a few minutes and/or bust out the Matthew McConaughey quote, &amp;amp;#8220;&amp;quot;Yeah you, you named my penis after a dame!&amp;quot; while cracking up to himself. Hilarious. The Devil Wears Prada: OK, maybe this is more of a romance about those thigh-high Chanel boots, but my friend M. claims it&amp;#x27;s a girlie movie her husband can get behind. She says she has no specific evidence that he likes this movie, other than that &amp;quot;he doesn&amp;#x27;t bitch when it&amp;#x27;s on&amp;quot; and he occasionally deigns to look up from his laptop and watch. For him, that&amp;#x27;s basically as good as squee-ing when he sees it on the channel guide. The Notebook: Of course it was under my influence that my ex saw this movie, but I didn&amp;amp;#8217;t force him to act out a scene from it in public, or to constantly ask me to &amp;amp;#8220;Say I&amp;amp;#8217;m a bird.&amp;amp;#8221; He was way into it. Knocked Up: Why wouldn&amp;#x27;t men like the fantasy that they could end up scoring with a really hot girl at a bar, then convince her to have a real relationship with him all while hanging out with their friends, drinking and watching porn? The Princess Bride: Gal pal C. offers that her ex was pretty into this movie. I almost didn&amp;#x27;t put this one on the list though, since although it is technically romantic, it&amp;#x27;s just too widely beloved by dudes to be remotely considered a chick flick. No one can deny the awesomeness of this movie. (Can you believe it&amp;#x27;s 25 years old?) Love Actually: One married guy I know who&amp;#x27;s a sucker for all things romance, unabashedly (really, check out his tip to woo your guy), is of course into the motherlode of feel-good holiday loving in cinematic form. The Last Song: My BFF says &amp;quot;Um, my boyfriend saw this. In theaters. By himself.&amp;quot; Now there&amp;#x27;s a man who&amp;#x27;s not embarrassed to embrace romance. Or Miley Cyrus. Moulin Rouge: My friend&amp;#x27;s boyfriend L. says &amp;quot;Does Moulin Rouge count as a romance?&amp;quot; I say: Um, yes buddy. A romance with singing and dancing, which is extra super duper romantic, right girls? 500 Days of Summer: J. says he likes this movie because it explores the topic of a guy dealing with romantic troubles, as opposed to the countless Bridget Jones type movies that deal with a woman&amp;#x27;s pain. Forgetting Sarah Marshall: See reasoning above, add in guy-favorite hottie Mila Kunis and Jason Segel&amp;#x27;s insanely funny naked crying scene, and men are in.
