These women were girls in the 80’s, when they discovered friendship, loyalty, treason and yes – love. The Brat Pack made their debut back then and brought these then young girls their first taste of silver screen emotional roller coasters. However, you may be surprised by the fact that only two of the top five picks are 1980’s films. Women between 35 and 45 were asked about their favorite all-time movies, and these were their top picks:

1-Titanic (1998)
Why did this not surprise us? Let us see; great period outfits, unbelievable hairdos, a leading actress who doesn’t have a wasp’s waistline and huge chest, a leading actor who looks more dreamy and innocent than your three-year-old, the jerk fiancée, and three-and-a-half hours of syrupy  romance. Boy stows away on ship, boy impresses uppity first class passengers, boy gets girl, ship sinks.

2-The Body Guard (1992)
Ah! To be carried to safety in the arms of a strong, silent type with boyish looks… Whitney lost her mojo after that flick, but we’ll never forget what her sweet and potent voice did to Kevin Costner’s tough guy. The prize was such a confident straight-shooter, with a mysterious and exciting past as a secret service agent to boot! A movie for women who still seek real men…

3-When Harry Met Sally (1989)
The angst! The angst! Meg Ryan actually makes us feel compassion for a dumb blond! It’s all thanks to her honest and lovely portrayal of the single professional woman – tired of trying and still hoping for love true and pure. Billy Crystal is the comedic, unlikely beau – which makes for an even better movie about love triumphant over self-centeredness and social formulas.

4-Pretty in Pink (1986)
A true 1980’s teen movie in the style that Howard Deutch made so famous and successful. The Brat Pack – as the group of young actors came to be known – started their meteoric and – sadly – short careers (ok, there are exceptions) in the movie business back then. It doesn’t matter if you saw this one when you were twelve or twenty-two, you were surely captured by the conflicts faced when Andie must choose between true friendship and popularity… the eternal high school dilemma!

5-Pretty Woman (1990)
This was a surprise to us, as we did not expect a movie about a rich, arrogant loner and a hooker to make the top five. But that’s only the surface of the plot; this is really a classic fairytale. The witty, street-smart , gorgeous and ever-aspirational  sex professional meets a gorgeous man in his forties who appears to have everything but is terribly empty inside. Aside from the oft-times annoying Roberts laugh, the plot is excellent and the outfits – oh my God! How many times did you dream about spending a day walking into every top boutique on Hollywood Boulevard, trying on everything you like and taking it with you? Personally, I think that’s what the women who picked Pretty Woman loved best.

There you have it, the top five movies for women 35 to 45. Agree? Disagree? If any of these make you bawl like a baby, ladies, it doesn’t mean that your bioidentical hormone therapy is not working. These are classics no woman would dare to watch without a handy box of Kleenex nearby.
