What’s Your Favorite Movie, Miss Thing? Tell Us and We’ll Review It!

Miss Thing won't allow herself to be pushed off center stage. And in this 1950 classic, Miss Bette Davis is at her bitchy best as an aging actress doing whatever it takes to fend off manipulative starlet Anne Baxter. Learn her lessons well, Miss Thing. But fasten your seatbelt; it's going to be a bumpy night!

The clothes, the hair, the sunglasses. Sigh. Audrey Hepburn may have been the most fabulously fashionable Miss Thing ever, and this 1961 movie shows her off at her bewitching best. It's the story of Holly Golightly, a self-made Miss Thing who flees Nowheresville for New York, where she falls in love with her neighbor while wearing a cat mask at Woolworth's. This one gives you extra Miss Thing points since it's named after a legendary jewelry store and based on a book by Truman Capote, a literary Miss Thing beyond compare.

Jane Austen is the original Miss Thing, and this Valley Girl update of her novel Emma surely would have made her smile. Cher is pampered princess who’s turns her attention to fixing all her friends’ problems, since she’s already done such a good job on her own. Or has she? As if!

It’s about mothers. It’s about daughters. It’s about four crazy old women who will always be friends (and Miss Things) until the day they die. This ultimate chick flick is guaranteed to make every man in the house run out the door in 5 seconds flat--at the very least to another room, or down to the corner bar to hang out with the guys. And isn’t that a tool every Miss Thing needs in her arsenal?

Scarlett O'Hara is the queen of Miss Things—madly in love with the glum guy she can't have (but can handle), turning her pert little nose up at the hunky guy she can have (but can't quite handle), and completely oblivious to everything else going on around her. And that everything else is pretty formidable: Armies fight, Atlanta burns, and life itself comes tumbling down on her pretty little shoulders. But like any good Miss Thing, Scarlett never gives up. Problems? She'll think about them tomorrow!

This is the movie that shows Miss Thing can be both adorable and brilliant without having to hide anything from anyone -- a simple fact that seems lost on the guys who make most Hollywood movies. As Elle Woods, Reese Witherspoon is a delight -- bright, bubbly and fearless. It never occurs to Elle that she can’t do anything she wants to, even if it’s dressing up her dog and going to Harvard Law School.

She's a girl...she's a boy...she's Barbra, for Pete's sake (which is the name of a zany yet wretched movie Ms. Streisand made in 1974. But we digress.). Yentl is a not very zany (but highly watchable) 1983 movie starring the only living Miss Thing Hall-of-Famer as a young Jewish girl in turn-of-the-twentieth-century Eastern Europe who wants to study the Torah but can't go to the Yeshiva because—duh—she's a girl. After her father dies, Yentl dresses like a boy and becomes the Yeshiva's most promising young scholar until she falls in love with a classmate (Mandy Patinkin) and eventually winds up married to the former Mrs. Steven Spielberg. Oy vay! But that's just the Miss Thing Fabulosity you see on the screen. Even more fabulous is the fact that this was the first movie Barbra directed. It took her 15 years to get it going, but she was still able to star as the "young" heroine—even though she was nearly 40 at the time. You go, Miss Thing!
