Fight Club is also my pick. Philosophy, hilarity, and brutality. Hard to beat.

The closest thing to a chick flick I can name without disgusting myself is The Importance of Being Ernest. It's sort of a love story, though really more of an excuse to be sarcastic.

CF, Steel Magnolias, that movie still kills me.
MM American History X, then Fight Club. I cant get enough of Ed Norton.
So, would Primal Fear be CF or MM? If you havent seen btw, it's a must see IMHO.

Actually, it was occuring to me that Tom Hanks (who is in all 3) is quiet a flexable actor.

CF: I've never been able to tolerate one. :P If Meet the Parents counts as one, then that's as close as I'll get.
MM: Die Hard for the action type. Otherwise, To Kill a Mockingbird; Gregory Peck's performance shows what manliness really is. :)

P.S. Since when is Pirates of the Caribbean a chick flick? :P
