Shoes and the Silver Screen

We love shoes! There's no getting around it. The other day I was thinking that there is something so special about them. I mean, we have other accessories that we love, but they somehow don't have the ability to transform you! Then I was watching a movie and shoes, once again, were a part of the heroine's story. It got me thinking how many times Hollywood has used shoes to make the movie. So, here's my informal list. Feel free to add your favorites too. Grab some popcorn and let's go to the movies!


 


The Wizard of Oz:  Nobody wears glittery red heels quite like Dorothy Gale! And those magical shoes are the force that brings Dorothy home. 


The Red Shoes: An oldie but goodie with British Ballerina Moira Schearer. Sometimes those red shoes can be a little deadly.... 


Cinderella: The shoes made the princess, right? And Walt Disney's favorite animated scene was when Cinderella morphs from her rags to her ball gown. 


Ever After: Love this version with Drew Barrymore! Even though she is a strong woman, the glass slipper still fits! 


PS I Love You: A two tissue box movie that combines a love of Ireland with a love of shoes, wait till the ending! 


Enchanted: Even though Giselle doesn't need her glass slipper to find her true love, Idina Menzel finds her love - thanks to those famous clear pumps. 


What other movies come to mind??
