Sometimes it's fun to just kick back with your girlfriends and watch a good movie. With them, you can watch films that your husband or boyfriend would veto before the first scene was over. Here, in no particular order, are the top five "chick flicks" to rent for your girls' movie night:

1. Ghost - You'll need an entire carton of tissues to get through this one. Patrick Swayze plays Sam, the devoted boyfriend of Molly (Demi Moore) whose spirit works tirelessly to protect her from those responsible for his own murder. Whoopi Goldberg provides some comic relief as the psychic medium who relays messages from Sam to Molly, but this movie is the quintessential tearjerker.

2. Thelma and Louise - This movie is a favorite of many women, but its generous helping of action makes it a good candidate for a date movie as well. The title characters, played by Geena Davis and Susan Sarandon, take off for a girls-only weekend getaway, but end up wanted for murder. On the run across the country, they go on a crime spree. And for those of you who like eye candy, this movie features Brad Pitt in one of his first major roles.

3. How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days - If you like romantic comedies, you'll love How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days. It's the story of Ben (Matthew McConaughey), the ultimate player who makes a bet with his coworkers that he can get a woman to fall in love with him in 10 days. Ironically, his target, Andie (Kate Hudson) is a magazine writer who is using him as a guinea pig for a story about how to fail in a relationship in 10 days. The results are hilarious.
