When film critic Jami Bernard thinks about the kinds of movies that appeal to women, she doesn't always follow the common route. Sure, such classic weepies as Now, Voyager, Brief Encounter, and Waterloo Bridge are included in this guide, as are more modern chick flicks like Working Girl, Sense and Sensibility, and The American President. But Bernard also believes that female audiences have a wilder side that the cinema can unleash. Her defenses of The Hunger, True Lies, and 9 1/2 Weeks as "chick flicks" are intriguing, particularly since these movies were designed to entrance aggressively misogynist men. Bernard covers 75 films in detail, categorizing them under headings like "impossible love," "hunks," "emotional rescue," "catfights," "funny girls," and, of course, "female bonding." --Raphael Shargel
