Chick Flicks, Sweets and Tips for Valentine's Day!

Chick Flicks that Don't Totally Suck:
Julie Delpy and Ethan Hawke as Celine and Jesse in "Before Sunrise" (1995).

5. Before Sunrise (1995)

A French chick and a broken-hearted slacker wandering around Vienna, just talking for 105 minutes and slowly falling in love. It could have gone so wrong, but with writer-director Richard Linklater things go so right. No one does disaffected dialogue like him, and he manages to take what could of have been a cheesy, gooey mess of a premise and make a thoughtful, genuinely romantic movie. The romance isn't simply between the two stars, Ethan Hawke and Julie Delpy, who have an easy chemistry and look the best they'll ever look. Moreso, it's more a quickly scribbled love note to travels, trains, and chance meetings.
Kirsten Dunst as Amber Atkins in "Drop Dead Gorgeous" (1999).

8. Drop Dead Gorgeous (1999)

It's easy to pass this one over in your Netflix browsing and dismiss it as just a cheesy Kirsten Dunst high school flick. It's actually a scathing, hilarious satire of not only beauty pageants but also middle America. The amazing cast — including Allison Janney, Ellen Barkin, Denise Richards, Kirstie Alley, and a before-she-was-big Amy Adams — turns in performances so over-the-top hilarious they border on the grotesque. Director Michael Patrick Jann wrote, directed, and produced on the TV wundershow The State, and it shows in this movie's every drop-dead funny scene.

VALENTINE'S Day sweets:
Alicia Silverstone: "A box of fine European chocolates is better than sex."

VALENTINE'S Day pickup styles:
Hugh Grant, after his first hit came out, walked back and forth in front of his neighborhood movie house trying to pick up girls who came out of the theater and might recognize him.
Ethan Hawke with ex-wife Uma Thurman.

Ethan Hawke: "To entertain chicks at 16, I memorized the first 20 pages of 'The Catcher in the Rye'. I stopped at 20 pages because I had no more space in my head."

"To prove it, we've crafted this tribute to love and romance.

Send it to the person (or people) you love... Because if there's anything we've learned from watching movies, it's that sometimes screenwriters -- and the actors bringing their words to life -- can express our sentiments exactly.

Happy Valentine's Day".
