Forever iconic. This movie has everything—Bette Davis, homoerotic obsession, a scene-stealing cameo from a little-known up-and-coming actress named Marilyn Monroe…

All About Eve (1950) and Showgirls (1995)
A perfect evening of aging, fandom/stardom, and the erotics of rivalry.

HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY!!! i have been trying to get more into old films and doing a run of Henry Fonda flicks (love this man). this movie ROCKS. incredibly funny, it's film about yearning and doppelgangers and falling in love. Henry Fonda and Barbara Stanwyck are two of the most beautiful people ever to be put on a screen. Also just incredibly well directed, it's one of the best-shot movies I've seen. It's a perfect Valentine's Day movie!!

costuming 10/10, plus marilyn, music, and surprisingly progressive undertones. honestly a cultural touchstone in so many ways (i also recommend some like it hot, not in color but still very good)

Libby is and forever will be THAT GIRL and I recently discovered you can subscribe to basically any magazine via the newsstand feature. I am really enjoying flipping through NYmag and trashy celeb mags like Us Weekly on my phone—it feels like all the guilty pleasure of scrolling though social media but infinitely more fun and less draining. I also like reading food mags and the New Yorker!

this movie really defined an entire formative era of my life. I was an awkward frizzy-haired tween with glasses when this came out and I saw so much of myself in Mia. my best friend and I had the soundtrack basically memorized (Aaron Carter’s cover of Itty Bitty Little Pretty One lives rent free in my head, as does Miracles Happen by Myra). the love interest Michael (aka Robert Schartzman of Rooney fame) imprinted on my eros and continues to influence my type in masc women to this day. the movie also led me to the (superior if I’m being honest) book series, which played a HUGE role in shaping my taste and sense of humor and interest in pop culture references
