There was a beautiful era in the 90s/early 00s of fun, female lead teen movies that just hit different, were like this golden age of girls just being girls and celebrating that feeling, and no matter how Hollywood tries they will never replicate it.
I'm talking "She's the Man," "Bend it Like Beckham" "Princess Dairies" "St. Trinian's" "What a Girl Wants" "Clueless" "Uptown Girls" "John Tucker Must Die" "DEBS".....obviously there's probably a few I missed but you get the idea.
Maybe the stakes weren't as high as saving the entire world, but they were important to the characters and had friendships and silliness and the goal was almost never to get the guy and you just don't get to see that anymore.
Also almost all of them had banging soundtracks.

Polite Society is my favourite film I have watched this year so far. If it is playing near you, PLEASE go watch it.
The perfect amount of ridiculous and hilarious and joyful and heart warming.
A solid 11/10. I literally cannot remember the last time I laughed so much - and out loud - in a cinema.
Obv I also have to mention Gurinder Chadha and Mindy Kaling for being trailblazers and paving the way for stories like this, and for girls like us to have a place on the big screen. I will never, ever grow tired of seeing stories with ✨ flavour ✨
I love you Ritu Arya and Priya Kansara and Shobu Kapoor and Nimra Bucha. Thank you Nida Manzoor ❤️
