]]>What makes this year’s annual list unique in comparison to the ones that came before it is an emphasis on diverse stories and filmmakers. Some of the films that made the cut are female-directed Losing Ground and The Hurt Locker, and POC-centered stories The Joy Luck Club, Lilies of the Field, and Sweet Sweetback’s Baadasssss Song.
Librarian of Congress Carla Hayden acknowledged that this year’s list shines a spotlight on diversity and explained why it’s so significant. “With the inclusion of diverse filmmakers, we are not trying to set records but rather to set the record straight by spotlighting the astonishing contributions women and people of color have made to American cinema, despite facing often-overwhelming hurdles,” she said in a statement.
The National Film Registry was introduced in 1988, and a total of 800 films have been included so far, ranging from Hollywood classics to short and experimental films.

]]>According to the entertainment website, Paramount Players are working on a prequel to everyone’s favorite ’70s movie and it will be titled, Summer Loving. John August, the writer behind iconic titles including Charlie and the Chocolate Factory and Big Fish has been hired to write the screenplay.
The Hollywood Reporter also said that Temple Hill will be producing and Picturestart will also be involved. The movie will tell the story of what went down before Danny Zuko and Sandy Olsson cross paths.
We have so many questions about the Grease prequel that we’re probably going to need a whole new article to share them. Will the film use any songs from the original soundtrack? Who will fill the shoes of John Travolta and Olivia Newton-John? Being a cult classic, such decisions will not be made lightly.

]]>The post Top 10 Movie Makeovers appeared first on Entertainment For Us.
]]>Andy (The Devil Wears Prada)
Even my boyfriend loves the scene when Nigel transforms Andy into a fabulous Vogue-worthy icon.
Vivian Ward (Pretty Woman)
One of the best makeovers is when a snobby shop assistant turns her nose up at Vivian for the way she is dressed. When she returns head-to-toe in expensive attire, it’s a mic drop moment.
Annabelle (St Trinians)
Anabelle’s makeover montage when she tries out different looks from every clique is the highlight of the whole movie.
Alison (The Breakfast Club)
I’m personally a fan of Alison’s “before” look, but it’s a very John Hughes moment when Molly Ringwald gives her a makeover that takes Andy’s breath away.
Tai (Clueless)
Cher teaches Tai the ways of being cool, but she later learns that looks aren’t everything.
Sandy (Grease)
Tell me about it… stud.
Mia (The Princess Diaries)
Anne Hathaway still looked like a supermodel with frizzy hair and glasses, but it’s still a great makeover.
Viola (She’s The Man)
Amanda Bynes makes a very pretty but convincing teenage boy.
Olive Pendergast (Easy A)
How do you get back at your peers calling you a whore? Emma Stone’s Olive decided dressing like a “high-end prostitute” was the solution, and she rocked it.
Daniel (Mrs Doubtfire)
No matter how fabulous some of these girls might look, nothing beats Robin William’s transformation into Mrs Doubtfire.

]]>The post 10 Musicals We Will Never Get Tired of Watching appeared first on Entertainment For Us.
]]>Rocky Horror Picture Show
Rocky Horror is an eccentric, sexually charged musical which features some absolute bangers. We will never tire of Tim Curry in tights.
Grease
Every time we think we’re over it, we end up getting sucked back in by the impossibly catchy tunes and lovable cast.
Little Shop of Horrors
What’s not to love about a musical about a blood-sucking plant?
Rent
It’s the go-to when we want to feel part of a bohemian revolution, and it’s also the go-to when we need a big ole cry.
West Side Story
We’re not going to pretend West Side Story isn’t totally dated and problematic in this day and age, but it’s still a classic.
Chicago
Because every good musical should leave you feeling like murdering your husband in cold blood is acceptable if he annoys you.
Annie
Annie remains one of the most endearing movies of all time to this day.
Hairspray
It’s colorful, kitchy and Tracy’s relentless optimism is infectious.
The Wizard of Oz
The Wizard of Oz was released in 1939 but it remains a timeless classic that we’ll happily watch on repeat.
Oliver!
Another timeless classic which has received many adaptations since Charles Dickens wrote the tales in 1837. The musical version is the best though.
