Your Turn

The best "chick flick."

    1. Fairuza Balk & Ione Skye (her mention in the other blind made me think of it) as trailer park teen sisters.
      One in love with a gay guy, the other with a slut rep that she can't shake.
      And their divorced mom just trying to keep it together.
      Original music by J Mascis, for the indie cred.

      Pretty much nobody's ever heard of it, unless they were Sassy magazine readers back in the day.

      It was on HBO daytime rotation around 1994. My second sophomore year of college. I watched it a few times. It breathes, you know? The story takes its time. There’s emotional truth from the actors. It’s a fine flick.

  14. Beth: "The Trouble with Angels"!!!! Love that movie!!! The sequel ("Where Angels Go, Trouble Follows") not so much.

    Has anyone seen a movie that came out around 1974 called "Our Time"? It had Pamela Sue Martin from Dynasty and Parker Stevenson from The Hardy Boys (also Kirstie Alley's ex) and it was kind of like a girls version of A Separate Peace. I must have watched that movie with one of my friends a dozen times.

  17. I forgot about some of these movies to include Somewhere in Time. I loved that movie. Others: Pretty Woman, Only You, While you were sleeping, Runaway Bride (I know, I know - guilty pleasure), and definitely the BBC Pride and Prejudice.

  22. @Gail Banks - That movie convinced me I had a calling to become a nun. One problem; not Catholic..... but I have worked in service one way or another all my adult life.

    ReplyDelete
  23. Going way, way back- "The Best of Everything" with Joan Crawford. I highly recommend it!

  27. I don’t know about Best, since that’s so subjective. But for iconic, I’m going with...

    50s: Gentlemen Prefer Blondes
    60s: Sound of Music
    70s: Grease
    80s: Pretty in Pink
    90s: Clueless
    00s: Legally Blonde
    10s: A little early for “iconic” but Pitch Perfect gets a potential nod here

    ReplyDelete
  28. "Stella Dallas", with Barbra Stanwyck. Perfection.

    ReplyDelete
  29. Agree with @NoNotThatBeth: "9 to 5"! :) A lifetime or two ago I had a friend whose go-to karaoke song was "9 to 5" and it was awesome.

  44. Twice Upon a Time with Molly Ringwald. Never made it to dvd. I'd love to have even a VHS copy of it, because whichever company owns it has sure done its best to make sure that it no longer sees the light of day!

    ReplyDelete
  45. Dirty Dancing, it's great but not something guys would watch on their own.

    ReplyDelete
  46. Little Darlings.

    What's not to love? Girls at summer camp, one rich/one poor; steal the camp school bus to go get rubbers at a gas station and run into a hot and hunky Matt Dillon...

    And, "Imitation of Life" (the Lana Turner/Sandra Dee remake)
