The New York Giants and New England Patriots will face off this Sunday in the Super Bowl in Arizona. But if that's not your thing — and you can wrestle the remote away from the sports fan in your life — TBS is planning a lineup of Movies Women Want between 9:30 a.m. and 10 p.m.
So here's the fun debate: Are these really the movies "women want," on Super Bowl Sunday or any other day — especially given that most of you said you'd be watching the game in the first place? To see the lineup and get my take, just read more.
Here's the lineup:
- 9:30 a.m.: The Perfect Man
- 11:30 a.m.: Save the Last Dance
- 1:30 p.m.: What Women Want
- 4 p.m.: Fools Rush In
- 6 p.m.: Bridget Jones: The Edge of Reason
- 8 p.m.: The Wedding Planner
It's not my personal favorite slate of romantic comedies (OK, except for Save the Last Dance — yeah, I said it), and I've been annoyed by the ad campaign that makes reference to "not breaking a nail" and other things most of us haven't worried about for a few decades. Plus, most of these movies are on TBS a lot as it is — couldn't they at least get the rights to something new?
At the same time, I don't think it's a bad idea to counterprogram the most stereotypically guy-focused TV day of the year with something equally stereotypically girly. Maybe I'll just plan my own empowered-gal movie marathon instead. What's your take on this?

nothing could tear me away from the super bowl.
1i love save the last dance too.
2I love romantic comedies, but the idea that sports are a guy thing makes me puke.
3I kinda feel sorry for guys who don't like football. They don't get many options on game day. It's either football or chick flicks. lol
4I'm watching football but if you aren't, go to the movies and see Juno!
5im definitely watching the game... but i love save the last dance.
6I agree! I'm watching the game, but I do love STLD. I think an empowered-gal movie marathon sounds like the perfect solution for anyone who doesn't like football. Some Iron Jawed Angels, some Norma Rae, perhaps?
7If TBS is going to show so-called chick flicks, then at least pick good ones! yeesh!
8Plan the empowered gal marathon! Please!
9This movie line up won't tear me away from the game.
10I love Save The Last Dance.I might have to watch it.
11I like The Wedding Planner but thats the only movie I like out of all of those. Some of these movies are equally cheesy but I think my superbowl lineup will be Dirty Dancing, Must Love Dogs, Bend It Like Beckham, season 3 of The Office and Season 7 of Gilmore Girls. If I had Golden Girls it would be on like popcorn.
12so theyre not my favorite movies or anything but i am really into this, i mean i dont plan on watching the Super Bowl so i was wondering what i would be doing. lol
13I'll be tuning in for What Women Want and Bridget Jones!
