That first night you stayed up all night talking and realized you were in love... Before Sunrise is that; no more, no less.
Husband out of the house: Check.
Chick flick on DVD: Check.
Pint of fudge brownie/cookie dough ice cream: Check.
This is good therapy, friends.

Before Sunset is very good, too.

My definition of chick flick is that it is dialog-heavy, character-driven, and focused on feelings (especially fictional, romanticized love). A synopsis of the "events" would take a sentence or two, because it's about people, not things that happen. Bonus points if it makes you cry.
I like guy movies, too, but it doesn't stop them being guy movies. (Nevertheless, I think my guy would not have enjoyed Before Sunrise.)

I wasn't trying to call you on your language choice so much as explain why, in general, I just don't thick "chick flick" is all that accurate a descriptive.
Also, like sleepingjpb, I think I was a little surprised to see Before Sunrise described as such.
