* ''Film/MorningGlory'' - It's mostly a comedy about Rachel [=McAdams=] working as the producer of a morning show, but it still gets categorized as a chick flick. Like ''Film/{{IQ}}'', it's story is bigger than just the romance.

* ''Film/ReturnToMe'': David Duchovny plays Bob, an architect whose wife dies in a car crash. Minnie Driver plays Grace, who has a heart transplant early on. About a year later, Grace is waiting tables at her grandfather's restaurant when Bob shows up on an abysmal blind date. Bob and Grace click and all seems to be going well, until Grace finds out just who her heart donor was... Carroll O'Connor (yes, a.k.a. [[Series/AllInTheFamily Archie Bunker]]) gives a solid supporting performance in his final role, playing Grace's kindly grandfather, who proves quite helpful to both parties.

* ''[[Film/{{IQ}} I.Q.]]'' - Meg Ryan again, as Albert Einstein's (probably historically inaccurate) niece, with Tim Robbins as an auto mechanic who winds up with Uncle Albert (hilariously played by Walter Matthau) and his buddies trying to help him get her away from her stuffy psychologist fiance (played by Stephen Fry).

* ''Film/TheBackUpPlan''
