Definitive chick flicks are character driven stories with romance and/or emotional growth of the main character, usually a female or a group of females. Conflict is generally in the form of a significant other or a life threatening illness. Climax is always emotional as opposed to action driven. Examples of definitive "chick flicks":
Steel Magnolias
Fried Green Tomatoes
The Jane Austen Book Club
Stepmom
Beaches
Not so typical, but still falling into the category:
Thelma and Louise
Pretty Woman
