    One time my Dad said he wished I wasn’t so sensitive (I was probably 8???) and that I should be more like Cat Stratford. I wonder if he regrets that now that he has a fiery older daughter.

27. I can’t think of any that fit what “girl movie” probably means. My definining movies as a girl were probably Star Wars and Lord of the Rings.

28. Dirty Dancing

29. Marie Antoinette by Sofia Coppola. The music, the costumes, the history, the atmosphere. It shaped so much of my later interests. I credit it for my love of New Order and all things pastel.

30. Earliest ones I can think of are Confessions of a Teenage Drama Queen, The Princess Diaries, The Parent Trap, anything with Lindsay Lohan basically lol.

    Earlier than that it was all the Disney princess movies specifically Ariel

31. Not a “girl” movie but Bram Stoker’s Dracula impacted me massively

32. A League of Their Own, hands down

33. But I’m a cheerleader

34. The Princess Diaries

35. Ever after with Drew Barrymore

36. Girl, Interrupted lol

37. Aquamarine 😍

38. “Girl movies” don’t tend to define me, but I have seen Little Women more times than I can count. I can’t even really explain why I like it. But my grandmother brought me to see it, and my mom saw it with me, so it’s been a sort of generational tie between us.

    Especially with Greta Gerwig’s remake. There’s so much there that’s timeless. That said, nothing in my heart can top Winona Ryder, Susan Sarandon, Claire Danes, Kirsten Dunst, and Thomas Newman’s score.
