Muriel's Wedding (1995)

When Muriel is dumped by her friend-group for not being cool enough, she follows them to their island girls-getaway vacation. What could have been a terribly cringey time for Muriel turns out to be the best days of her life so far because she runs into Rhonda, an old acquaintance, who immediately has her back. With the support of her new bestie, Muriel reinvents herself.

There's so much going on in this movie and all of it is amazing. There's the incredibly sad thread of her mother's despair, the exhilaration of her new life, the tragedy of Rhonda's illness, and the wtf of Muriel's whirlwind wedding.

This was our fourth or fifth viewing and it never disappoints. We've been quoting its dialogue for 2 dozen years and I doubt we'll ever stop. It'll always be a favorite.
