An example of an "estrogen fest" movie aka a romantic movie. The Notebook is a film that has made a huge impact on romantic movies and is known as one of THE romantic movies. It has achieved all this notoriety and recognition even though it has not even been out 10 years yet. It follows the typical recipe for a "chic flick" with a passionate whirlwind summer romance that ends abruptly only to restart again by chance..but with a few twists and turns. Our culture makes it seem as though our hormones dictate what movies we prefer, and that is absurd. Also, both men and women have both estrogen and progesterone, but our culture makes it seem as though only women and men like certain kinds of movies. As it turns out, there are men who enjoy romantic movies and women who enjoy movies with action, special effects, etc. But this truth does not receive the same attention.
