Chick Flicks that Don't Totally Suck: Julie Delpy and Ethan Hawke as Celine and Jesse in "Before Sunrise" (1995).
5. Before Sunrise (1995)
A French chick and a broken-hearted slacker wandering around Vienna, just talking for 105 minutes and slowly falling in love. It could have gone so wrong, but with writer-director Richard Linklater things go so right. No one does disaffected dialogue like him, and he manages to take what could of have been a cheesy, gooey mess of a premise and make a thoughtful, genuinely romantic movie. The romance isn't simply between the two stars, Ethan Hawke and Julie Delpy, who have an easy chemistry and look the best they'll ever look. Moreso, it's more a quickly scribbled love note to travels, trains, and chance meetings. Kirsten Dunst as Amber Atkins in "Drop Dead Gorgeous" (1999).
8. Drop Dead Gorgeous (1999)
It's easy to pass this one over in your Netflix browsing and dismiss it as just a cheesy Kirsten Dunst high school flick. It's actually a scathing, hilarious satire of not only beauty pageants but also middle America. The amazing cast — including Allison Janney, Ellen Barkin, Denise Richards, Kirstie Alley, and a before-she-was-big Amy Adams — turns in performances so over-the-top hilarious they border on the grotesque. Director Michael Patrick Jann wrote, directed, and produced on the TV wundershow The State, and it shows in this movie's every drop-dead funny scene.

"To prove it, we've crafted this tribute to love and romance.
Send it to the person (or people) you love... Because if there's anything we've learned from watching movies, it's that sometimes screenwriters -- and the actors bringing their words to life -- can express our sentiments exactly.
"On hearing of JD Salinger's recent death, most fans probably experienced a single emotion: sadness. Over in Hollywood, however, the hills shook with the cackling of a hundred avaricious studio execs. Finally, someone will get to make The Catcher in the Rye film. Jake Gyllenhaal as Holden in The Good Girl (2002) - Gag Reel.
Yet perhaps the biggest problem will be casting Holden himself. Leonardo DiCaprio, John Cusack and Tobey Maguire have all previously been mooted. Salinger called Holden "essentially unactable. A Sensitive, Intelligent, Talented Young Actor in a Reversible Coat wouldn't nearly be enough". The easiest way to grasp catastrophe from the jaws of success would surely be to cast a next-gen teen idol 'Twilight' star Robert Pattinson shooting new film 'Bel Ami' in the English countryside, UK.
– a Robert Pattinson or a Zac Efron – but even the more realistic candidates don't feel quite right. There's Joseph Gordon Levitt (too old), Anton Yelchin (too Russian), Michael Cera (too geeky), or Jessie Eisenberg (too Jew-fro). Emile Hirsch as Francis Doyle in "The Dangerous lives of Altar Boys" (2002).
Emile Hirsch feels like the closest fit, but you can't help thinking the best Holden will be the true unknown that no-one expects; someone unsullied by fame's own story, able to be the Holden we imagined, in the way Salinger himself might have approved". Source: www.guardian.co.uk

"Jews are hot. Last year, actor Jake Gyllenhaal was included on People Magazine’s “Sexiest Man Alive” list. Jesse Eisenberg, an attractive New York Jewish actor.
Just being Jewish by itself also seems to be attractive. Woody Allen and Diane Keaton in "Annie Hall" (1977).
“It’s like I’m exotic,’ said a student from a major Midwestern university who asked to remain anonymous. “They seem to really be interested in my curly hair.”
“Even though I could take it as a stereotype,” he added, “they are always saying Jews are funny. I guess it’s something they like.”
But aren’t the qualities mentioned in these verses -- wisdom, dignity, generosity -- the ones that really turn on everybody? Source: www.jpost.com
Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson in the forest scene from "Twilight" (2008). Alicia Silverstone will play a female vampire in "Vamps" (2011). "Alicia Silverstone is reuniting with her Clueless director Amy Heckerling on Vamps, which Lisa Wilson’s GK Films affiliate Parlay Films is selling here. Alicia Silverstone, Stacey Dash, and director Amy Heckerling in "Clueless" (1995).
Vamps tells the modern-day tale of two female vampires who live it up in New York until love enters the picture, when each has to make a choice that will jeopardise their immortality. Silverstone will play one of the vampires opposite Krysten Ritter, who is making her first feature starring role and is about to wrap production on the comedy Killing Bono opposite Ben Barnes.
Production is set to begin in April. Red Hour Films, Lucky Monkey Pictures partners Lauren Versel and Maria Teresa Arida, and Molly Hassell are producing.

I liked Alicia in "Clueless", "Cool & the Crazy", "The Babysitter", "Excess baggage", "Blast from the past", "Beauty Shop", etc. I'm glad she is coming back with her next projects "Elektra Luxx" (2010) and now "Vamps" (2011). Alicia Silverstone.
