90'S FILMS

THE CRAFT (1996)

This is definitely my favourite 90's film ever, I can watch it over and over and over again and it won't loose its spark. The Craft is about four teenage girls, Nancy, Sarah, Bonnie and Rochelle, who each represent the elements of water, earth, air and fire. They form a coven to worship 'Manon' and/or make some freaky stuff happen with their minds. They became prettier, caused the downfall of mean girls, made boys fall in love with them, you know, the usual witch stuff. However, The Craft is classified as a horror, and as the film progresses you see a hunger for more power form in Nancy's mind in particular, as she abuses what she has got and uses it wickedly against everyone else. I love this film a lot and to be honest my description doesn't do it justice. It has just the right amount of spell casting, dark&witty sarcasm and horror to make it great. Aside from the story line and the characters, I think the costume design is absolutely amazing and has such a strong mixture of rebellious high school girl, witchy, 90's styles.

GHOST WORLD (2001) - (I WILL FOREVER THINK OF THIS AS A 90's FILM)
Ghost World follows cynic and artist, Enid, who has just graduated from high school and is drifting through the phase between school and adulthood. It's funny and sarcastic and intelligent and I like it a lot. Enid's personality is really relatable and engaging, and in a way matches her clothing, which consists mainly of doc martens, occasional green hair and an 'original 1977 punk rock' looks (so she says).

WHIP IT (2009)

Whip It isn't even a 90's movie but it's one of my favourites and reminds me of that time period anyway. In Bodeen, Texas, and indie-rock loving misfit, Bliss Cavender, finds a way of escaping her small town misery after she discovers a roller derby league in nearby Austin (thanks imdb). This made me want to go and buy some roller-skates and join the Hurl Scouts. Bliss' outfits are really grungey, or bought from a thrift shop throughout the film. Go and watch it.
