Top 10 Female Characters from Movies
Made for picspammy . Image heavy, you were warned.
Princess Ann (Roman Holiday)
Princess Ann: Is this the elevator?
Joe Bradley: This is my room.
I just love this movie since I was a kid. It was the first American movie that Audrey Hepburn did (and it gave her a Best Actress Academy Award), and it's really sweet and inocent. Ann, the princess, is really funny, and I find very interesting the way that she goes from friendly and cheerful to cold and polite in a instant. Plus, Gregory Peck is really charming.
Bridget Jones (Bridget Jones' Diary)
Interviewer: What do you think about the El Nino phenomenon?
Bridget: It's a blip. Latin music's on its way out.
What to say about Bridget? She's hilarous. I love the troubles she get herself into, although I fell bad for her sometimes.
Carmen Lowell (The Sisterhood Of The Traveling Pants)
Carmen: ... And you know what, Lydia? Just forget about the dress. We can tell everybody that Carmen's Puerto Rican. And it never occurred to you she might be built differently. Or that, unlike you and your daughter, she has an ass that the tailor didn't have enough bolts of material to cover, or better yet, just tell everyone there is no Carmen. Carmen doesn't exist!
Carmen is not that funny or anything, but I relate to her in a lot of ways, so... here she is :)
Elizabeth Bennet (Pride & Prejudice)
Mr. Darcy: Might I ask why, with so little endeavor at civility, I am thus repulsed?
Elizabeth Bennet: And I might as well enquire why, with so evident a design of insulting me, you chose to tell me that you liked me against your better judgment.
I hated P&P when I read it for the first time. Maybe it was because I wasn't mature enought to actually understand the book (I was just 12). But then I read it again sometime ago and finally understood why so many people like Lizzie. She's really inteligent and brave, and I like the way she's loyal, not only to her family, but to herself as well. There are times, however, that she's so blind that I want to slap her, particularlly when Mr. Darcy is involved.
And Keira is prettier than the BBC actress.
Gracie Hart (Miss Congeniality)
Victor Melling: What no armored car?
Gracie Hart: That would be in my other dress.
What I love most about Gracie Hart is her sarcastic, ironic sense of humor (which is a lot like mine, btw). And the fact that she's able to reinvents herself completely without change her personality.
Holly Golightly (Breakfast At Tiffany's)
Holly Golightly: Thursday! It can't be! It's too gruesome!
Paul Varjak: What's so gruesome about Thursday?
Holly Golightly: Nothing, except I can never remember when it's coming up.
If I had to pick just one character as a favorite, it would be Holly. She's funny and sweet, and very interesting; at first, she seems just a superficial character, but when you stop and really look at it, she's the most complex.
Breakfast at Tiffany's is one of the movies I love the most. I love the dialogues, the clothes, everything... even Holly's furniture :) And I hate the fact that so many people name it as favorite just because the whole Gossip Girl thing.
Jane Nichols (27 Dresses)
Kevin: What about you? You don't have any needs?
Jane: No. I'm Jesus.
I think she's funny. And I love the way she's selfless. That's it, I think. I don't know, I just love her.
but there's no chemistry between Katherine Heigl and James Mardens, at all.
Jennifer Cavalieri (Love Story)
Jenny: You're gonna flunk out if don't study.
Oliver: I am studying.
Jenny: Bullshit. You're looking at my legs.
Oliver: You know, Jenny, you're not that great-looking.
Jenny: I know. But can I help it if you think so?
Because she is a good, bookish type of girl that falls in love with a rich, athletic and popular guy. But, unlike Jamie Sulivan*, she actually has a personality and keep it thought the development of the relationship.
And she is in Nina Garcias's The Black Book of Style (as Holly Golightly, btw) because of her clothes. Even though this movie is from the 70s, the coats, sweaters and hat and scarfs sets that she wears could be easily worn nowadays.
*Mandy Moore's character in A Walk To Remember
Margo Channing (All About Eve)
Margo Channing: Bill's thirty-two. He looks thirty-two. He looked it five years ago, he'll look it twenty years from now. I hate men.
As it's said in the beggining of the movie, "Margo is a great star, a true star. She never was, never will be anything less or anything else". She created the despise look that Blair Waldorf gives now.
Mia Thermopolis (The Princess Diaries)
Joe: This is between a waltz and a tango.
Mia: It's a wango?
Mia! OMG, I loved her in my pre-teen years! I so related to her, except that my grandma never came and told me that I was a princess. But anyway.
I was really dissapointed when she became blond and everything, in the books. Mia was like a heroine to every clumsy/unpopular pre-teen. Seriously, I even stopped buying the books. Still, I like her in this movie. (I try to ignore the existence of the sequel, because everybody is so out of character that it doesn't really count).
