The movie: Little Miss Sunshine
That moment: It's a toss-up between chasing the van, stealing Grandpa's body, and group-grooving at the competition.
What makes it a must-see: The reminder that having a handful of people in your life who would help you chase a crazy dream across the country (despite financial difficulties, emotional problems, and a bad transmission) is the definition of being lucky.
The movie: Spring Breakdown
That moment: Amy Poehler's thirtysomething dorky dog trainer being adopted by superpopular college blonds including, yes, Kristin Cavallari.
What makes it a must-see: This movie is so underrated, especially since it's maybe the best one I've ever seen about girlfriends road-testing new identities--and being able to forgive each other for all the lame posing afterward.
The movie: Vicky Cristina Barcelona
That moment: When Scarlett, having grown fully comfy shacking up with Javier, meets Penelope for the first time. Oh my God. Just watch it again, it's so great.
What makes it a must-see: You feel like you've gone across the ocean and decided to make a high-stakes decision to act like a different person--without any of the real-life consequences.
