Ever After is still one of my favorite movies of all time. I don't usually get emotional during movies but that movie takes me through just about every emotion I can think of. Also, I've never met anyone who truly doesn't like Ever After. I have always used it as a 'go to" movie if house guests and I were having a hard time deciding what to watch. I remember watching Ever After with my brother-in-law (who generally prefers sci fi and thrillers) and he was completely absorbed and went on for hours after the movie about how horribly Danielle was treated. It is impossible to not be touched by that movie.
@jenniferborland8746 okay, you just made me wanna watch it again. I think it's a more mature take on Cinderella. My daughter is 10 so I hope she can get into it with me. I'm really looking forward to the "mother daughter bonding" stage when it comes to movies, which we've bonded over movies, but I mean the ones that are special, like Ever After... it's very emotional and it does give all the feels.
EVER AFTER ❤ For anyone who moans at the "love at first sight" thing (I don't know why 🤷)....they need to watch Ever After! I love classic Disney and Disney Renaissance, but I think Ever After is my favourite Cinderella story re-telling. Also, Drew Barrymore's best performance, I think. 😊✨
Fun video! I was the kid/teenager that only watched the old classic films too😄 I’ve been wanting to check out Sabrina for a long time now. I think I should watch it😀💖
She's All That was such a big deal in 1999. I remember seeing in the theater. And a few years later I got to see Sixpence None The Richer on stage at a festival. Rachael Leigh Cook was also in an anti-drug PSA as well as one of my favorite 00's films Antitrust.
@scarlett5247 ohhhh I remember hearing about legend of the fall!!! I feel like I wasn't mature enough back then to see that film, I'll totally have to check it out. I'm loving all these movie recommendations! Thanks for the tip!
@@OakesPrincess If you do end up watching it, I would love a review if you can of course, it doesn't have to be long but Im very interested in what you have to say about it :)
Okay, I'll just reply here then, lol.. mainly because, if I'm brutally honest, it wasn't my favorite. lol. First, I'll give the pros ...gorgeous scenery, excellent, excellent acting, you feel EVERY emotion, like wow. Whoever cast that, did a great job. Now for my criticism, lol, the story was HAAARD for me.. I have a hard time with "reality" of life, if I'm honest. It's that tough, difficult truth, that painful truth that is tough. I really like escapism, the fantasy aspect, like in say "Clueless" from the 90s, which was soo far from reality of life...Legend of the Falls was keepin things "real" in the sense that you feel the desire that all those brothers had for Julia's character and the reality of life, that that is how it is sometimes (it may not be brothers, but friends who fall for the same girl and feel very strongly for them...then, death, that was like, "whoa"... and you feel the desire that Brad Pitt's character had for Julia, but then the pain of how life tore them apart and how he ended up married to the Native American girl, which, was like, "whoa" to me, lolol.. and then when she died?!?!?! auuuughhh and Julia's remorse?!?! Do you realize I wished that my rabbit in real life would die, I even prayed that God would take it's life and legit no lie, one week later, my rabbit died?!?!? (my husband said we couldn't get a dog until the rabbit died, and I was really bitter about it, that's a long story, this was in my 20s, before I'd filmed Confessions, I'm 41 now and very repentant about that). But anyways, so when Julia blamed herself for the death of Brad Pitt's Native American wife?? I felt that.. I felt that deep, but that scene, combined w/my rabbit dying in real life situation, caused me to become overwhelmed w/emotion to where I had to turn it off at that point. But I made it pretty far, lol... did they end up "happily ever after"?? I told myself that they did, but I don't know for sure. lol. You're probably like, 'This lady is crazy.." lol, that's my emotional state in regards to that film though, lol, I'm quite sensitive about all the drama that happened in that movie. lol.
Fools Rush In is officially free on TH-cam right now, in some regions at least. I watched it for the first time, or so I thought. It was strange. Overall I did not remember it, but I recognized very specific scenes like when the car was smashed. So I must have seen it before. I don't remember Matthew Perry in it, so it must have been a time before I started watching Friends. Anyway, it was a great story, and the two stars did a great job. And speaking of interracial romances, Mississippi Masala was close to making my top 10. It stars Denzel Washington, whose character hits it off with a young woman from Uganda with Indian heritage. Sarita Choudhury is gorgeous.
Oh wow, thanks for sharing your opinion, I've never heard of Mississippi Masala. I will definitely check it out! Especially if it stars Denzel Washington. I have a lot of respect for him as an actor.
Jennifer :) I love Ever After as well and anything Cinderella-themed. I love Audrey Hepburn as well ❤ Something I just started watching recently that you might appreciate is 'Ladies in Black' which has Julia Ormand (now older but still gorgeous). It's a show set in the 50's with really lovely fashion and Julia Ormand is one of the bosses in the fashion store. It's a very feel good show :) I remember really liking 'Fool Rush In' as well. Mathew Perry was really sweet in it and Salma Hayek is of course gorgeous :) I loved 'She's all That' :) Freddie Prinze Jnr is so sweet and Rachel Leigh Cook is cool too :) This is such a fun topic. I look forward to hearing your other faves :) Maybe you could mention some of your favorite classic movies too, like anything with Audrey Hepburn or any other classic actors? :) Thank you so much for the video ❤
@emmad.176 oh thank you for the fun film review ideas! I'll have to check that grace Kelly one out... I have a list of films to go over from the early 2000s already... I'll start that classic film list though, so fun!! It seems like you felt me on all this! 😆
I only recently watched Ever After because my sister's co-worker recommended it.....and I LOVED it! One of my favorite Cinderella re-tellings! Hard to narrow down my most influential movie list, but one is Princess Diaries. Definitely felt quirky and awkward like Mia while I was in school.😅 I loved her and Lily's friendship and the fact that even though Mia wasn't popular or labeled as "pretty", she was still kind and she was loved by her friends.
@khenderson6606 1000000% yes to everything you said, particularly concerning Princess Diaries!!! It's giving me all the feels! My daughter is 10 and we've watched both part one and 2 and we adore those films. ❤️❤️❤️ dream come true stuff there
Firstly, I'm so sorry you had to experience that high school drama teacher and those toxic boys in school 💔 as fun as the 90s were, it was also a very unaccepting, judgmental time. It was difficult, and the beauty standard was insane. 🥴 i think there's some progress today, but I think there's a long way to go still. My daughter is mixed (my husband is from india and I'm white) and also a theatre kid, but the roles somehow are primarily given to a certain stereotype time and time again. It's frustrating and breaks my heart having to watch my daughter deal with it. I mean they even cast a white blonde girl for moana! Just crazy. I'm not saying that they should cast people regardless of talent, but there are very talented people that constantly get pushed aside because of how they look. And how can they improve their skill if they are never given the opportunity? So many talented people that could be so amazing but we'll never know because they don't look a certain way. Ugh, sorry. I'm stepping off my soap box now. 🙈 the way you felt about Rachel Leigh cook is how I felt about Christina Ricci 😭 I thought she was so pretty. Ever After is such a 90s classic. I just rewatched it within the last few months and it's still such a sweet film 🩷 your cousin seems so cool, my mom was a huge classic film fan too, and so i watched a lot of classics as well when I was young. Lots of Bette Davis 😂
@lunalilaclily oh wow, so much to say, I'll have to write you back later when I get a chance, loving your story! Who could forget Christina Ricci!!!! Oh my gosh! Casper! Adams family!!!
lol about the toxic boys in high school. It was sad, but I learned some super good life lessons from that. For example, don't date boys who don't love everything about you. My husband, when I met him, he was teaching Hispanic people how to speak English because they wanted a better life for themselves. I knew then that he wasn't going to judge me based on my background... things like that are important to me. As for the drama teacher, sometimes I wonder if I was too sensitive about being Hispanic, like was she just saying that because she was of the mindset of "Ariel must have red hair and red hair only" type thing?? Today, Disney was willing to cast a black Ariel, but before??? back in the 90s?? Would that have flown?? So I think she was like, "We're doing Shakespeare, therefore, you will never have a role" type thing, it maybe depended on the play they were doing. But I'll be honest, there was some division in our school w/things like that so.. anyways, that's the vibe she gave me. I know that not everyone thought like that though. I had white friends and I hung out w/people who didn't mind that I had a different background. It can be really hard to connect in high school when you're super insecure and trying to find yourself. I love that your daughter is mixed, as is mine! I'm sorry about what your daughter is dealing with! Who is this blonde girl cast as Moana?! was that at Disney?! I have seen that w/Jasmine, they have cast blonde people to play her on multiple occasions. To be fair, I did not make a good Pocahontas and Disney had me portray her because they thought to themselves, "She has dark hair, she'll do.." I like to think it was hard to find girls who looked like Pocahontas, but I wasn't working in Disney casting, so I don't know. As for Christina Ricci, OHHHHH HOW could we forget her?!??!?! She was soo cool, now you're making me want to search for her on TH-cam! Now I also want to watch a Bette Davis film! hugs from Florida! xo

@@Susannah.N yes! Wait, which Sabrina? The old one or the 90s one? I have the Audrey one on DVD, I just need to watch it..
@@OakesPrincess The 90’s one😄 I’ve seen the Audrey one many times, I really like it💖

@v_zach I remember the anti drug psa!!! I saw it on some AOL fan page! 🤭 I loooved sixpence! So cool you got to see them! ❤️
Julia Ormond is also in the Legend of the Fall opposite Brad Pitt, it's such a beautiful movie I hhhighly recommend it
