Oh, this movie was a dream come true to my younger self, wanting to sing and move to New York and be famous! Picture a big-haired Bette Midler as an aspiring singer, fabulous music and more 80's fashion than the human mind can process. And here are some of my favorite quotes:
"But enough about me, let's talk about you... what do YOU think of me?"
"[singing] Pouncer Pouncer the wonder cat. I'm so glad you're not a rat, or a bat, or too fat."
"I'm shvitzing from here to high heaven!"
"[singing] I'm marrying a doctor, a doctor. I can't believe I'm marrying a doctor."
I'm not sure how my little eyes were opened to this movie gem (especially since I was 2 years old at the time of its release date), but opened they were! It's a beautiful story about an unlikely friendship, wildly funny and practically a musical in itself. While there are a few menfolk scattered throughout the film, they are an afterthought in this heartfelt investigation into female relationships. And I shall now leave you with The Divine Miss M singing about (what else) boobs.

2. BEACHES IS A MOVIE THAT I HAVE ENJOYED SINCE I WAS YOUNG. I LOVE ALL THE MUSIC AND I LOVE CATCHING BITS OF IT ON NETWORK CHANNELS. IT MAKES ME GIDDY TO FIND RANDOM OTHERS THAT ALSO SEE IN THE MOVIE WHAT I DO: 80'S MUSICAL MOVIE GOLD.
