Yes, "Little women" is your quintessential "chick flick". Nevertheless, it is a very good story.
The 1949 version, with Meg (Janet Leigh), Jo (June Allyson), Amy (Elizabeth Taylor), Beth (Margaret O'Brien) and Mrs March (Mary Astor), is a great film about family.
It is often featured on TCM and very good.
