Fiona, great list of films! "The Mummy" is a totally easy film to watch again and again. Action, adventure, romance, humour, a hot hero, a feisty heroine, and the gorgeous Oded Fehr as the heavenly, tattooed, horseman Ardeth Bay - gorgeous stuff!
I loooove "Girls Just Wanna Have Fun". Don't forget Shannon Doherty is the hero's little sister as well!
I had a movie jag a few weeks ago and watche one after the other: "Sixteen Candles", "The Breakfast Club," "Girls Just Wanna Have Fun", "Pretty In Pink" and "Footloose" and I think I must have cried at the end of every one!
Were we born for this job, or what?
