Wednesday, August 2, 2017 at 10:30AM Chris Feil's series on music in the movies dips into some actressexuality this week!
Do you and your friend group have a song, one that defines and unites you instantaneously? Or is that just something that happens in the movies? I’ve certainly never had that, but my two best gays from college do namesake ourselves by a set of cinematic galpals that do: The First Wives Club. (I’m the Bette.)
This film has the good sense to capitalize on the musical charms of its legendary actresses Bette Midler, Goldie Hawn, and Diane Keaton. This threesome foursome *technically* (RIP Cynthia) has their origins defined by their place in musical history, with Diane Keaton’s opening narration evoking Woodstock and The Beatles. But its the beginning twinkle of Hal David / Burt Bacharach fantasy over the opening credits that more musically defines the feminine fantasy thrust upon their generation - idyllic beauty, subservience to men, etc. By the time Aretha Franklin and Annie Lennox have them breaking down literal walls in the third act, these sisters are doin’ “Sisters Are Doin’ It For Themselves” for themselves.
But obviously the film’s most enduring and notorious musical impact comes from Lesley Gore’s “You Don’t Own Me”.

Friday, October 3, 2014 at 8:00PM While we've been film-festing, what have been doing? Tell us about your latest movie adventure. I'll start: I accidentally watched First Wives Club again the other day and though it's a really bad (but fun) movie in a lot of ways the ladies are pretty hilarious. Goldie Hawn just kills in her big breakdown scene.
You think just because I'm a movie star I don't have feelings. I'm an actress. I have all of 'em!
I promise that there will be some non-fest stuff for you to enjoy this week. But you still haven't answered my October questions. How should we celebrate the spooky month. Any requests?
