10 Films To Watch While Waiting for The Regional Release of Barbie
Clueless
This classic romantic-comedy ticks all our Barbie boxes. From chic outfits to joining Cher, the protagonist, on a heartwarming journey filled with friendship, love, and delightful surprises, her world really just is like Barbie’s world.
Legally Blonde
The undeniably Barbie-inspired protagonist is fearless and fashionable. Reese Witherspoon does a phenomenal job of portraying Elle Woods, a young girl who joins Harvard Law after her boyfriend breaks up with her. To add to the Barbie aesthetic, Elle’s favourite colour is also pink, meaning there are plenty of rose-hued looks to seek inspiration from in this classic noughties film.
Marie Antoinette
A Sofia Coppola classic, this film is sure to tap into your visual senses. The colours, outfits and acting are all top-notch. Hence, a must-watch to prepare yourself for the masterpiece.
Pretty in Pink
A teenage classic starring Molly Ringwald where her character must choose between her childhood crush or a rich and handsome playboy. So what is the choice going to be?
Mean Girls
We are sure The Plastics would be first in line to purchase tickets for the Barbie movie. From nostalgic dressing to the sassy dialogues, brush up on your Mean Girls vocabulary by watching this film over the weekend whilst waiting for the regional release of Barbie.
Moulin Rouge
Before being transported to the world of Barbie, we suggest getting transported to Paris during a Bohemian revolution complete with decadent costumes, musical numbers and more.
Romy and Michele’s High School Reunion
This comedy classic screams Barbie-core with the styling and direction of the movie.
Breakfast at Tiffany’s
For those with a much more classic taste, you cannot go wrong with Breakfast at Tiffany’s. Holly Golightly played by the iconic Audrey Hepburn is undoubtedly one of our all-time favourite characters.
The Great Gatsby
This Leonardo Dicaprio classic based on the book by F Scott Fitzgerald is must watch for its delightful soundtrack, terrific acting and of course, out-of-the-ordinary outfits.
13 Going on 30
When the trailer for the Barbie movie came out, it was like we were all transported to our 13-year-old selves again. Hence, a rewatch of the Jennifer Garner classic 13 Going On 30 is a must while waiting for Barbie’s regional debut.
