Peak girlhood films
12
items Movies that are the essence of girlhood. The girls who know, know. And of course, I highly recommend all of these films. :)
Trust me, I'm fine. I'm totally fine.
Pearl (2022)
Brittany Snow was so cool in this movie. I remember watching this as a kid and desperately wanting to be her when I grew up.
Uptown Girls
My Disney princess pick. Ariel was the ultimate yearner. She knew the struggle and she went after her dreams. Love her <3
The Little Mermaid (1989)
Nowadays, I have questions about this film. But when I was 10, What a Girl Wants was an essential for any road trip. Ah yes, why couldn't all of our long-lost fathers be an English aristocrat?
What a Girl Wants (2003)
Was I ever a ginger orphan girl living through the 1930s? Were really any of us? Um. No. But girls everywhere have felt a special kinship with Annie. Listen, I love the 1982 version, also. However, my parents taped this in 1999 and I watched this con...
Annie (TV Movie 1999)
Hillary Duff was the girl's girl's Cinderella. Also, Jennifer Coolidge is so so good here.
A Cinderella Story (2004)
Lori Strode is for the girls. It was between this and Scream. And I love Sidney Prescott. But Lori just feels more girlhood, ya know?
Halloween (1978)
The yin and yang of girlhood. Another movie where I question the logistics and ethics, but just go with it and you'll find a timeless classic.
The Parent Trap (1998)
Before Barbie(2023), there was Barbie in the Nutcracker(2001). Barbie Nutcracker was a once-in-a-generation film. A cinematic acheivement. A glimpse into the 2001 cultural zeitgeist. We are all Barbie Nutcracker.

There's something about Dorothy Gale and Judy Garland. The Wizard of Oz was one of my favorite films as a kid and so much of it was because of Dorothy and how cool she was. Talk about an inter-generational classic that transcends time and space.
The Wizard of Oz (1939)
IS THAT MARY POPPINS? One of the first films I remember seeing in theaters. tbh, i didn't care too much about being a princess. I just wanted my long lost grandmother to be Julie Andrews
The Princess Diaries (2001)
Here's the thing. If this came out when I was 11, I would be absolutely insufferable about this film. This was all I wanted to be as a kid. Which is why at not even a year old, KPop Demon Hunters is a peak girlhood film.
