1282 - The French Dispatch of the Liberty, Kansas Evening Sun (2021)

1230 - Not A Pretty Picture (1975)

30. Valley Girl (1983)

Before Nicolas Cage recited the alphabet or wooed Cher or stole the Declaration of Independence, he played a punk doofus in Martha Coolidge’s sweet and silly coming-of-age romance VALLEY GIRL. We admire the film’s affectionate skewering of the 80s, its textured female POV, and how singular its male…
