I'm more of a romantic myself, but I think this movie is one even alpha males can enjoy. What are some other good "chick flicks" for guys? Here's my list, what would you add?

FIREPROOF
FIRST KNIGHT
GORGEOUS (JACKIE CHAN)
HITCH
JOE VS. THE VOLCANO
MISS CONGENIALITY
PENELOPE
THE PHANTOM OF THE OPERA
PRIDE AND PREJUDICE
THE PRINCESS BRIDE
RETURN TO ME
SWEET HOME ALABAMA
TANGLED
TWILIGHT: BREAKING DAWN PART 2
WARM BODIES

If you're interested in reading my rationale for why each of these is "guy-friendly," read my article at: http://www.mormonmovieguy.com/2013/02/keep-your-man-card-15-chick-flic ks-guys.html

Angel Eyes. Not your typical chick flick, but a good romantic movie...

Officer and a Gentleman

Jerry Maguire

More recently, Silver Linings Playbook was very watchable..

Alpha males don't have movie blogs.

By all accounts, I am an alpha male, and I liked "Love Actually" a lot.

I also really enjoyed "At First Sight", the Val Kilmer film where he plays blind, but more for his great job of acting than anything else.

I guess I liked "The Notebook" too. It put a lump in my throat at the end.

What is your definition of an alpha male?

The term alpha male has such a vague definition anyway.

I know a guy who is 40, never worked a day in his life, and he lives off the government by scamming disability.

He pretends to have Crohn's disease and was only able to get married because he found a 15 year old girl on Facebook, spent three years brainwashing her online, and got her to move to where he lived when she turned 18. He refers to himself as an alpha male though.

And when you are hanging out with him you usually do end up having to listen to him rant and watch whatever movies he wants. So in that sense he can be dominant.

So it's just when I hear the term "alpha male", I could easily imagine the person being some kind of scummy pedophile grifter.

In this guy's head he is a total alpha though and leader of the pack.

Just like those who talk about how much money they have.....don't....alpha males have no need to ever refer to themselves as such, nor would they ever.

LMN channel. I f'n love watching those movies on the weekend. My wife gets a kick out of the fact that I watch that crap.

In your list, I particularly like

Joe Vs.
Princess Bride
Return to Me
Tangled
Warm Bodies

Others that I like and would consider Romantic movies that most people would enjoy. These are all warm, down-to-earth, "nice" films without a lot of craziness or fakeness.

While You Were Sleeping
Definitely Maybe
Notting Hill
Fever Pitch
Just Like Heaven
Chalet Girl
Say Anything
Enough Said
The Longest Ride
