Someone you could watch all day long, as referenced in the Benny Benassi song "Cinema." Similar to a Wonderwall, but with more emphasis on the pleasure of looking or staring, and not necessarily how you feel about that person otherwise.

An academic term for the genre of film colloquially known as chick flicks. The genre has three main sub-categories:
1. Classic fairytale - often presented in the guise of romantic comedy. Various thin plot lines, but always culminating in the girl marrying the rich, handsome guy - the 'handsome prince' architype. e.g. Bridget Jones' Diary, Notting Hill, Pretty Woman, and many, many more. This is the most common form of cinema clitera.
2. Reconcilation - with a female friend, sister, mother or daughter, with whom there as been a long-standing feud or alienation. Often ends with one of the lead protagonists dying of a 'fashionable' disease, such as leukemia or a brain tumour, shortly after the reconcilation. e.g. Beaches, Terms of Endearment.
3. Girlies together against the world - various plots but all centre around shared emotional trials and tribulations, often a mix of light weight comedy and schmaltz e.g. Steel Magnolias, Sex in the City.

Hugh Grant: "Erm, Erm, Erm ..."
