Most stylish movies: Mad Love edition

In the 90's i was obsessed beyond words with Drew Barrymore. I thought she was the most gorgeous, coolest, stylish rad movie star ever. She was soooo badass. I saw all of her movies (she drives a yellow car in every single one of her motion pictures), read her autobiography twice, tried to emulate her way of dressing, cut my hair like hers and even kept a folder of magazine clippings of her. Slightly embarrassing, yes, however i think it totally speaks to how i evolved today: i suppose while most girls in high school were crazy for with clean cut cookie-cutter Jennifer Love Hewitt, my affection was dedicated to the quirky anti-conformist role model that was Drew, sort of the icon for the off-beat girl that i was, searching for my personality and refusing to follow the norm. Ah the torturous resonance that comes with being a teenager! Mad Love was mos def my favorite movie back in the day. She was everything i wanted to be (minus the bipolar episodes, i suppose) and revisiting it recently reminded me of just how sick the fashion was (flannel plaid oversized button-downs! White baby tees underneath mini floral dresses! Combat boots! Piece-y short hair!) and how amazing Drew Barrymore is.
