I wanna post a poll, but first I wanna hear all the bad ones before we vote for the worst. He's a couple off the top of my head:
Dirty Dancing: "Goody-goody girl meets bad boy that shows her how to rebel and she brings out the "soft side" in him, ending the show with a dance scene in which the girl gets up in front of everybody and shows off her new dancing skills, and everybody's happy (LITERALLY)."
Coyote Ugly: I didn't all of this, but this is what I caught: "Girl who thinks she's trapped is help to escape her bartending job by a guy who helps her 'conquer her fear' by making her face it (although she should be doing this alone) when he gets her a gig opening for a real big act which would never happen as a first performance (which she is afraid to go to)."
Any other takers?

"Beauty and the Beast" (hit 'em while they are young)
Girl meets hideous beast but sees the "Good" in him, and his curse is eventually removed because of her "love" for him. (Reinforcement of the, "Well, if I LOVE this asshole enough, he'll eventually change!!!")

I second "Coyote Ugly".
Also, I never saw it, but "Princess Diaries" looked pretty awful. From what I know, some high school girl finds out she's actually a princess and everything is wonderful overnight. *barf*

Oh yes, how could I forget "Sweet November"? That one is pretty gimpy too. It's Keanu Reeves and Charlize Theron, so the whole time yer like
"No! Don't do it Brother K! She's crazy! AHHH!! You did it!! WHHHYY??!!!"
Her character is the most psychotic one I've seen in ANY stupid girl movie I think.

I'd probably include "Glitter" in that list, but I haven't the skinniest on what it's about. Actually, NOBODY does. You could drop a bomb on every American theater showing Glitter, and not have any casualties. Even the projectionist leaves his booth to sneak into Lord of the Rings. Or ponr. Yeah, that's probably more likely.
But I'm guessing from the previews that Glitter involves a poor, down-on-her-luck young singer who's struggling to make it in the jungles of the music industry. Oh, and she meets this steel worker or somebody who makes $ 0.ass for a living. And they fall in love. Until Glitter makes the big time. Then she gets a big head because she gets invited to all the fancy music industry parties and, to stay cool, she has to leave behind worthless but good-hearted boyfriend. But she finds out that fame is fleeting, and that none of her new "friends" really like her. And all of her old friends think that she's sold out. So she decides to quit the music industry and runs out to find old boyfriend, who's now shacking up with Glitter's old hooker friend Starlet. Except that on the way there, Glitter gets gored by a runaway bull. And she dies. OH WAIT. This is how I WANTED it to end.
It probably ends instead with her fans respecting her "keeping it real"ness, and worthless boyfriend ends up marrying her and becoming her manager (who still boinks Starlet on the side).

What the hell is that new movie with Meg Ryan where some guy from the 1700s gets transported to our time, and they get together?
*BARF*

That's the one that's called "_____ & ______." God, what the hell happened to Hugh Jackman? "I used to be cool as Wolverine, then I did that chick flick where I got to grab Ashley Judd's boobs, now I'm just desperate." At this rate, Shafty predicts the future:
Next Hugh Jackman movie (in development): single father with Kate and Ashley, oh and a talking dog and cat, ala Look Who's Talking. Lots of cuddly animals, too.

All those stupid shows on Disney that my little sister watches are like that. Some show I can't remember about some girl who MUST be popular because that's where happiness is. Also, some guy that likes her doesn't run with the 'cool' croud because he's smart or something, so she avoids him because, and this is a quote. "He'll TOTALLY ruin my reputation."
I hate it. So much hate. Short sentances express hate. That last one was kinda long. So was that one. Hate. That's more like it. Short sentance. Incomplete.

Others. Hmm..
- Romeo and Juliet: We all know this. Love at first sight? They kill themselves over each other? That's a good idealistic one. I do have to give that old coot Shakespeare props though, he came up with great stuff. Romeo and Juliet isn't his best work though.
- That new movie where Nicholas Cage is a soilder in Italy or something: OH MY GOD. I saw previews for this movie at the theater when I went to see Rush Hour 2. I started laughing my arse off, out loud. The chain reaction hit, and lots of other guys started cracking up. The girls were all, "Stop it, it looks like a good movie!" Well, the girl next to me was at least.
- That movie with Nicholas Cage and Tea Leoni: HA HA HA! Okay, a guy chooses his career over his girlfriend and moves away. After a few years, some angel guy shows up and shows him what it'd be like if he chose his girlfriend instead. The funny thing is, the movie tries to emphasize on, "There's only one person out there for you" philosophy. I've seen better shit swirl down a toilet bowl than this movie.
- Pretty Woman: This was a 'better' chick flick. But it's still pretty idealistic. Guy rescues hooker from street, and razzles/dazzles her. Okay, first of all, HOOKER DO NOT LOOK LIKE JULIA ROBERTS. They resemble diseased loafs. Second of all, WHO WOULD WANT TO RESCUE A HOOKER? Yeah.
Well, that's my rant.

Titanic and Pearl Harbor. Both films took a big event in history, and turned them into cheesy romances.
