I need a few movie ideas for a 30-year-old woman. Imagine you are snowed in - or just don't want to go out - what would you curl up on the couch and watch WITH your DH or boyfriend? I'm not sure what she has, so I was thinking more of a classic. All I have so far is The Princess Bride...

The Devil wears Prada, I am around that age and finally bought it for myself when it was on sale on BF, it was the first movie in a long time that I actually enjoyed watching by myself, guess I can relate I have had my share of "evil" bosses.......what is she interested in?

I enjoyed The Lakehouse with Sandra Bullock and Keanu Reeves,
you have to watch it several time to figure it out.
I also liked Premonition with her in it/another one to watch again to understand.

I like that movie too. But what I really like was Keanu! The guy is in his 40's and he hasn't aged.

Head over Heels with Freddie Prinze Jr, its an oldie but it's so funny! It's a romance but dh laughed so hard that I had to take his drink away. We gave it to my brothers a couple of years ago.

DH and I love to watch Two Weeks Notice, Miss Congeniality, and Sweet Home Alabama. Those are about the only "chic" movies that he really enjoys.

Thanks for all the ideas! I got them Waking Ned Devine (hope it's good - I haven't seen it yet but the reviews are great) and Frequency. For better or worse, they are on their way.

Not a huge movie fan but as a guy who is close to 30 yrs old I can say most of the movies/chick flicks listed above I would not want to watch. Some of those movies would scare a bf away!

Gotta put my two cents in...
Serendipity
Music of the Heart
Prize Winner of Defiance, Ohio
Sweet Home Alabama
A Walk to Remember
Devil Wears Prada
Where the Heart Is
Bridges of Madison County
Oops.. just saw it had to be one to watch with my DH... okay, so he wouldn't watch any of those with me.
But we both like the movie "Deep Impact" with Morgan Freeman and Robert Duvall. It's got enough emotional stuff for a woman and the action/sci-fi stuff for a man. 
Christmas can't get here soon enough!
