Fried Green Tomatoes / Fried Green Tomatoes At The Whistle Stop Cafe / USA / 1991

It’s been 15 years since I last saw this one (which, incidentally, probably means I was a little young for it the first time around) and I’d forgotten how great it is. Idgie, Ruth, Linny and Evelyn are all so vividly fleshed-out, and even the minor characters, like Grady or Smokey Lonesome, have layers to their personalities. Beautifully filmed, funny and tear-jerking by turns, with attention paid to every detail right down to Linny’s socks, this is maybe the best evidence I can come up with to prove that “chick flick” doesn’t have to be a slur.
