Movie to Love: Modern Girls

Modern Girls

The story: Three women in their twenties go out on the town in Mid-80s LA.

The Players: Pre-Candyman Virginia Madsen, Pre-Melrose Place Daphne Zuniga, and Cynthia Gibb (woefully under used by Hollywood. Short Circuit 2? Please.)

Why you should love it: The tag line is "Never pay for drinks. Never stand in line. Never stand next to a dweeb." Words to live by.

Why repeated viewings are important: If you're not sure what to wear out, this movie can help give some ideas. While it was clearly made in the 80s you can get some inspiration for eye make-up, accessories, etc. Virginia Madsen's dress in it is to die for.

The best picture I could find of "The Dress."

Key characters: Bruno X/Clifford, the hot rock star and geeky guy who is really the lovable one are played by the same actor, Brad, the DJ who never takes off his head phones, and Milo, a guy who looks like a cross between Paul Rubens and Boy George, yet we are still supposed to believe that he is straight

All tortured rocker Bruno X really wants to do is find his dream girl, who just happens to be Cynthia Gibb.

Key Lessons: Don't count out the geeky guy who drives you around from bar to bar, he might just be the man of your dreams. Don't do extascy in a biker bar and proceed to roll around on a pool table. Always coordinate your cigarette to your outfit.
