Regular readers of my blog will know I adore the 80's (I was born in '74 so spent most of my childhood in the fabulous decade) and have blogged about the decade itself here and wrote a whole listography post dedicated to 80's films as well as mentioned it in many posts. So it's only natural I pick one from my list...
Can you tell I'm excited by this weeks theme?
Anyway, you probably won't be surprised to hear it's the totally amazing cult film Heathers.
Of course it is? Why wouldn't I love a film that has my name as the title? Well, for those who haven't seen it you will wonder why as the main focus of the plot is annoying 'popular' girls...all called Heather, how much they are hated and plans to kill them off. Brilliant!This is the film that first saw me fall in love with Christian Slater - he's amazing in it. It's a brilliant satirical take on life in a high school and what it's like to be popular...and what it's like to not be. Winona Ryder is fabulous as Veronica who teams up with JD (Slater) who's the new kid at school.
Full of black comedy and lines you will recite for the rest of your life...
"Grow up Heather, bulimia is so '87"
"Heather, why can't you just be a friend? Why do you have to be such a mega bitch?"
"It's your turn Heather"..."No Heather, it's Heathers turn. Heather?"..."Sorry Heather".
"I brought you to a Remington Party and this is my thanks? It's on the hallway carpet. I got paid in puke!"..."Lick it up baby...lick...it...up!"
"I use my grand IQ to decide what colour lip gloss to wear in the morning"
"She's my best friend. God I hate her"
