So, so many on this list
I don't get bridesmaids though - we were so disappointed in that movie. Kept hoping it would get funny. |
And two more since I have read the whole thread now: Fools Rush In - I can't believe that there is someone else who does this! And The Ref - one of my favorite Christmas movies. |
I am the OP and I say hands down it's the Kiera Knightley version. Love love love. |
Me too! Moondoggie was just so dreamy.

That was mentioned in the reviews. Apparently the director was hesitant to even cast Kiera because she's so beautiful, but her acting won him over. But they did everything they could to make her look more "plain"- mouse brown hair with bangs, ZERO makeup. I actually think it's more realistic that way. Kiera has a beautiful face, but she was so skinny as to be considered unattractive back then. Also, she had zero makeup and did nothing to make herself look "feminine" or appealing. You could take a relatively ugly girl and plaster her with makeup and most guys would drool. At the same time, take a supermodel and strip off her makeup and dress her in shabby clothes and they won't give her a second glance. men are fairly gullible that way. To me, that's what was realistic. You could see Kiera in that movie being a girl that you knew in class and thought was pretty, but nothing special. But it's her bone structure that's striking, and if you really looked at her, eventually you would see that. But at first, you would be much more likely to be dazzled by her sister by nature of her blonde hair or Bingley's sister by nature of how she carries hereself. Gah. Can you tell I love that movie and overthink it? Lol. |
