Whether it's Mark, Daniel and Bridget, or Ali, Noah and Lon, nothing keeps us more entertained than a good old-fashioned love triangle. And all the better if there's a really, really cringe-worthy fight:
2. Eye candy
Lots and lots of eye candy. Probably the most important ingredient in every great chick flick. Ryan, Leo, Jude, Colin, Ashton. We're not fussy. We just like looking at their beautiful faces on the big screen.
3. Drama
The climax of every great chick flick lies in one totally dramatic moment. We don't care if it's an emotional poetry reading (big shout out to Julia Stiles), an over-the-top romantic gesture or a massive girl fight. As long as there's drama, we're happy.
4. Some major style moments
Lights, camera, fashion. Carrie and Big may have broken up during the SATC movie, but let's be honest, we were all more interested in her shoes. We also know that mean girls wear pink on Wednesdays and that the reason Clueless is a classic lies in Cher's iconic wardrobe.
5. The couple who start out hating eachother...
Before falling madly and deeply in love. Elizabeth and Mr. Darcy, Bridget and Mr. Darcy, we can't get enough of a relationship that goes from ice cold to steamy hot in a couple of short hours.
6. The hilarious sidekick
Behind every lead character in our favourite chick flicks is an always-entertaining BFF. There by their side during the good times and bad, these characters sometimes steal the show. And for good reason.
7. The happy ending
The kisses, the weddings, the babies. A chick flick just isn't a chick flick without a happy ending. An ending so happy that you're left smiling throughout the end credits.
