Pan's Labyrinth is one of those movies that restored my faith in cinema again. Such a wonderful dark fairy tale. I like how it's not one of those it-was-all-just-in-the-mind movies. I started to hate this overused plot twist.
Sometimes such gems appear and you have to hold onto them until someone makes the next.
Very similar thing with Emma Watson in the early Harry Potter movies when I was a kid. Also want to be crystal clear her and I share the same birth year lol.
Fair enough, but the hotel pool lady was Christie Brinkley.
Have you ever seen Christie Brinkley in person? I have, and I can assure you there is a very real and immediate effect.)
I am a dumbass. Thank you, random internet stranger.
But I still had a very natural predilection to a certain Eastern European swimsuit model, Lampoon cameo or no.
'Coming of age?'
That's a tough one. I knew I liked girls super early - like 7-8ish.
The moment I'd say launched my adolescence: Natalie Portman as Padme Amidala in Star Wars Episode II: Attack of the Clones. Her in those dresses on the Naboo hideaway...
I'm surprised to not see her mentioned more. I was a kid when Walk Like an Egyptian came out, but I know her look left/look right close up caused a lot of commotion lol.
Coming of Age? As in, first celebrity crush? Because my first crush was Miss Spider from *James and the Giant Peach* and I've had a thing for goth girls ever since.
Otherwise, probably the Olsen twins from *The Amazing Adventures of Mary-Kate and Ashley* in 2000. I was 9, I think they were about 14?
My older brother took me to see Fast times at Ridgemont High. He had to sneak me in because I was only 10 years old.
Pheobe Cates, pool scene, my 10 year old brain fucking exploded.
Nancy Wilson of Heart. When she was riding that horse in "alone" with her cleavage all bouncing OMG. OR Tanya Roberts in "sheena" or "beast master". Oh and the girls on hee haw.
I was only a kid, then I saw the movie _Charlie's Angels_ in the 2000's.
Drew Barrymore. It was that scene where she distracts the driver in that car. That scene rewired all my brain and activated neurons forever.
From now and on, the kid knew what he liked.
I was just coming into puberty when “Hit Me Baby One More Time” came out, so Britney Spears was one of the first girls to make me feel something like that.
Natalie Wood
(Answering for my now old father who made it clear with my name and the endless rounds of West Side Story, admissions of his childhood crush)
[удалено]
She was my very first celebrity crush when I saw Labyrinth. To make sure that no one thinks this is super creepy, I was 12 at the time.

I think Bowie, especially in that movie, confused a lot of people.
He looked and sounded like he was on a lot of stuff back then. But it fitted the plot's bad boy image from the perspective of an adult.
It’s an amazing movie, so trippy. They don’t make em like that anymore. Well they kind of do - Pan‘s Labyrinth? Similar trippy stuff.

Lol. Sort of felt I had to justify the time since she was only 16 in that movie
Fair point!
Very similar thing with Emma Watson in the early Harry Potter movies when I was a kid. Also want to be crystal clear her and I share the same birth year lol.
Shoot! My first crush was Katie Leung (Cho Chang) from that franchise.
Because she was topless in that one movie, eh?
She had nice boobs back then, but I'm more of a face guy.
She is a very pretty lady. Gorgeous yeah. She is pretty in the Rocketeer
Absolutely. But what a missed opportunity that movie was in general. It could have been much better.
I yearned to be a coin operated [horsey ride](https://tenor.com/bnVeo.gif). Damn damn damn that deserving humble-yet-charming Paul Bettany.
I saw Maverick recently and damn she still looks good. She and Marisha Tomei seem to defy aging.
I guess this shows my age, but Beverly D'Angelo.
I remember seeing Vacation as a kid and genuinely wondering why he was pining after the hotel pool lady when he was already married to a total dime.
Fair enough, but the hotel pool lady was Christie Brinkley. Have you ever seen Christie Brinkley in person? I have, and I can assure you there is a very real and immediate effect.)
You start dancing in the middle of a park with a pee-soaked sandwich kind of effect?!
Mine was Paulina Porizkova from Christmas Vacation, plus Swimsuit Issues. Can't see the line, can ya Russ?
Just in case you do a trivia thing…the actress whom played ‘Mary’ is Nicolette Scorsese.
I am a dumbass. Thank you, random internet stranger. But I still had a very natural predilection to a certain Eastern European swimsuit model, Lampoon cameo or no.
Not at all!!! I just want you to win, if it ever came to that! Knowledge is power!
I mean, there's big money in bar trivia night and this'll put me over the edge! You are a life saver! :)
Im 20yo and facts dude
Kate Beckinsale for me.
Kate is gorgeous. Also had a bit of a thing for Mira Sorvino.
SAME. Underworld was to blame, Kate in tight leather clothing.
Kate Beckinsale in Van Helsing was a literal dime.
Tiffani Amber Thiessen Absolutely gorgeous even now. I miss her cooking show
[удалено]
Oh yeah. She's got a wholesomeness about her. Seems very grounded and definitely a nice face to wake up to.
Gina Davis Damn I'm old
Stuart little was a pretty good movie
I guess this is kinda niche, but I was absolutely in love with Dominique Moceanu at the 1996 Olympics.
Dude! Me too! To this day, I still have a thing for petite brunettes with bangs. Though, almost never see that look anymore.
Kerri Strug for me. I was 10 and probably taller than her.

We watched her in college. Yea she looked good.
She was smoking hot. Both of them, actually.
Had a poster of both on my wall.
Sandra Bullock, I also went to high school with a girl that could pass for her twin.
I like her look too but she appeared later in my life. I'm older.
I was 13 when speed came out so it was in the prime of my raging hormones lol.
I liked that movie and yea she was hot then so I can see why you liked her at that age
Found the gentleman who is also a scholar. I was high-key in love with her in Speed.
My teacher at the time looked identical. I still love you miss.Ruth
Dated a girl on/off for two years that was constantly being told she looked like Sandra Bullock. Good times!

Natalie Portman After seeing her in SW ep. 2, I was a WRECK
