Title: Drew Barrymore parts
Post by: Middle Child on April 03, 2016, 09:00:20 AM: Big Miracle is alomst my favorite movie of all time. I never get tired of watching it. Drew Barrymore as the Greenpeace activist is so incredible. I also liked her in Boys on the Side. So I decided to watch a bunch of Drew Barrymore movies. I put them all on my netflix queue, staggered around.

So far, everyone that has come is so stupid I can't even finish them. Didn't she do any other serious drama pieces? These are all her early movies I guess where she plays stupid bimbo type young women.

I had hoped for more along the same lines as Big Miracle. She is so fantastic in that movie, I get goosebumps just thinking about it.

Well I do have the other half of The Help to watch (someone lent it to me) or I can watch The Odd Couple II on TV if I can stand the commercials.

But Big Miracle I think is going to always be one of my absolute favorite movies. She is just...awe inspiring...in that movie.

I put off watching that movie for a looooong time (when it was newish) because I didn't care for her. I was VERY pleasantly surprised with her in that movie.
