  • The breakup scene is a first candidate: the sorority sisters set up an expected proposal and the boyfriend says he needs to marry a Jackie, not a Marilyn.
  • The breakup scene sets the tone of defying expectations and presents Warner tidily, but is not this participant's most rewatchable pick. — Juliet Litman
  • The Harvard admissions montage is nominated second; the LSAT buildup and her being carried around the sorority make a great seven minutes.
  • The one-woman costume party is enjoyed, though trusting Vivian shows she lacks people smarts; a counterpoint says she is the open-hearted one.
  • Asked who did the bunny costume first, the answer is probably this movie, though the bunny costume is in the Bridget Jones book. — Amanda Dobbins
  • Craig is asked to check whether this or Bridget Jones came out first; the 'frigid bitch ... constipated' line is praised, and Elle staying in costume all night.
  • The computer store bonding between Vivian and Elle, 'I have new representation', the murder confession and nailing the evidentiary hearing are further candidates.
  • The Bend and Snap scene feels important but from a different movie; it is placed in both aged best and aged worst and called probably the most rewatched but not a favorite.
  • The host's daughter asked why the Bend and Snap was in the movie.
  • One theory is that the Bend and Snap is the fulcrum for the musical adaptation; it also serves as the dance scene of 80s and 90s films geared toward women.
  • Footloose started the shoehorned dance scene, followed by My Best Friend's Wedding and 27 Dresses.
  • One pick is the Harvard admissions montage plus the leap of a first-year law student handling a murder trial.
  • The Harvard video essay is the pick: it has great one-liners and summarizes the movie in three minutes; the perm courtroom ending is also credited. — Amanda Dobbins
  • The others are right, but the preferred scene is the near-montage of her becoming a serious person, taking off when she nails the evidentiary hearing. — Juliet Litman
