Clueless! Cher Horowitz's wardrobe is everything, and her tweed blazers and Calvin Klein slips remain surprisingly relevant today. I can still recite the whole movie by heart. "That was way harsh, Tai."

There is never a bad time to watch Hunt For The Wilderpeople. It’s a piece of cinematic gold and I truly believe Ricky Baker is my spirit animal. If you need me, I’ll be re-watching this movie for the 12th time and learning all the words to Ricky’s Birthday Song. “Ricky Baker, now you are 13 years old. You are a teenager and you are good as gold…”

Betty Blue and the Wizard of OZ.

Watching Pretty Woman for the millionth time. Very timely while it celebrates its 30 year anniversary.
Lucy Taylor, Junior Features Writer
Pretty Woman: This is not just my favourite old-school movie, it is my favourite movie of all time, closely contested with The Breakfast Club.
Chloe Buttenshaw, Senior Fashion Editor
Working Girl for sure! Melanie Griffith and Harrison Ford are everything in this movie and the sounds track is so good.

I could watch The Princess Bride a million times over. A little escapism, and baby Robyn Wright, is everything I need right now. Also, I know Woody Allen is controversial but Annie Hall is all time. It features Diane Keaton at her gamine best and this quote: “I feel that life is divided into the horrible and the miserable. That's the two categories. The horrible are like, I don't know, terminal cases, you know, and blind people, crippled. I don't know how they get through life. It's amazing to me. And the miserable is everyone else. So you should be thankful that you're miserable, because that's very lucky, to be miserable.”
Sarah Hughes, Creative Director
The internet told me that Steven Sondheim just turned 90, so I watched Gypsy. It’s about a stage mother and her untalented daughter who ends up a stripper/burlesque dancer (Surprise! She’s really hot). Pretty raunchy for the 60s.

Bring It On. It reminds me of good old fashioned sleepover parties during the school days (what a time!) and I’m a bit ashamed to admit it but I still know all the words to the cheer chants - "I SAID BRRR! IT'S COLD IN HERE!"
Lucy Cousins, Wellness Editor
Dirty Dancing! It’s got it all - sexy dancing, forbidden love, women’s rights, and a very, very hot young Patrick Swayze.
Monica Russell, Fashion Editor
Uncle Buck!! A favourite from my childhood. For providing big belly laughs, and some outfit inspo (thank you Tia!). I look forward to rewatching this while in lockdown.
Ella Blinco Jury, Market Editor
True Romance. Although quite graphic and gory (written by Quentin Tarantino) I love this film for its stellar cast, costumes and underlying love story.
