Who better to live vicariously through, right now, than Cher Horowitz and her 30-years-ahead-of-its-time, computer-generated, mechanically operated outfit-matching wardrobe? I mean! But if you still labor under the misimpression that this film is just about clothes and rich teens, well: as if.
#CLASSIC BLACK GAY PORN VIDEOS MOVIE#
Perrie Samotin, digital directorĬonsidering that I spend most of my time these quarantine days somewhat “ensemble-y challenged” (and very much not in the fashion-victim sense), it’s probably not surprising that I’ve resorted to endlessly rewatching possibly my favorite fashion, teen-coming-of-age feel-good movie of all time: Clueless. As classic as this movie is, though, it loses points in retrospect for its racist portrayal of “Punjab,” Daddy Warbucks’s inexplicably mystical, presumably Indian bodyguard. Don’t worry, it also has an iconic performance by Carol Burnett, who plays orphanage manager Miss Hannigan as a drunk, horny shrew prone to stumbling around in silk robes clutching bottles of bathtub gin. Still, we get plenty about FDR’s New Deal, the Bolsheviks, and long asides about Republican tycoon Daddy Warbucks’s views on capitalism. Set during the Great Depression, Annie tries its hand at political and social commentary (although not as sharply as the comic strip and Broadway musical before it). The enduring tale of curly-haired Annie and her canine sidekick, Sandy, has become more cloying than a milky TikTok recipe but-despite its synchronized-scrubbing orphans and Ann Reinking’s Fosse-esque shimmies-the movie does try to make a statement beyond how the sun will come out tomorrow. If you can’t travel right now, Roman Holiday is absolutely the next best thing. You will laugh, you will gasp, you will google “cheap tickets to Rome,” you will throw yourself back on your bed and sigh with melancholy when it is over. It’s basically the beginning of Aladdin, or one of those movies in which a ’90s actor plays a president's daughter who just wants to fit in, except with Oscar-winning acting. It’s about if Audrey Hepburn was a princess who pretended to be a normal to see the world for the day, with Gregory Peck for her guide.
Roman Holiday is everything you ever dreamed of-it’s the perfect romantic comedy. You know how you think old movies are going to be all melty accents and trench coats and pearls and kissing under the moon, and the reality of old movies is that they’re often boring and really racist? You sit down to watch Breakfast at Tiffany’s, thinking you’re about to be transported to a world of chic and banter-filled meals eaten in jewelry stores, and instead you’re in this interminable mumble, which is occasionally interrupted by a man in yellow face? And the best part? Many of our best classic movies are on Netflix.ĭo us favor, though: Don't call them the "best old movies." That'll just make us feel bad. So without further ado, we present a new take on the best classic movies ever-one that includes your black-and-white favorites but leaves room for more modern icons, like Cher Horowitz. (If it's less than 20 years old, that's basically a classic-in-training.) More important, though, it's a movie that's universally beloved or has etched its way into the fabric of culture in some significant way. Think about it: What is a classic movie, anyway? For one, it's a film that has a few years on it. And while those are definitely some of the best classic movies you can watch, our definition is a bit broader. If someone asked you to list the best classic movies, you might rattle off titles like Casablanca, It Happened One Night, Citizen Kane, or other films from Hollywood's Golden Age. We're here to challenge your idea of what's considered a classic.
