Brides On The Big Screen
The Bride of Frankenstein
So bad, she made it look good...
The only woman more scary than the popular girls in high school. The Bride of Frankenstein. Who was she? She was actually a young British actress named Elsa Lancaster who reluctantly came to the States to join her Oscar winning husband, Charles Laughton in 1935. Looking for serious acting work, she was asked to play two roles in the same movie: the part of author Mary Shelley and the hissing, scene-stealing, ego-bashing bride of Frankenstein. The fact that she played the author of the story and also the monster bride was meant to show how two-faced and evil we (women only?) all are.
She's alive...but not for him!
Bride of Frankenstein - She's Alive!
From the Bride of Frankenstein, 1935. Boris Karloff is The Monster and Elsa Lanchaster is The Monster's Mate. The Monster has held Dr. Frankenstein's wife hostage until Dr. F makes him "a friend." When Dr. F is done The Monster meets her, and well, it's the worst first date ever!

Runaway Bride Starring Julia Roberts
Runaway Bride Movie Based on a True Story
Jennifer Carol Wilbanks (born March 1, 1973), ran away from home on April 26, 2005, in order to avoid her wedding with John Mason, her fiancé, on April 30. Her disappearance from Duluth, Georgia, sparked a nationwide search, including media speculation that Mason had killed her. On April 29, she called Mason from Albuquerque, New Mexico, and falsely claimed that she had been kidnapped and sexually assaulted by a Hispanic male and a white woman.
Wilbanks' repeating of the false claims to investigating officers resulted in a felony indictment of giving false information to police. She was sentenced to two years probation and 120 hours of community service and was ordered to pay $2,250 in restitution to the Gwinnett County Sheriff's Department. On March 15, 2008, her ex-fiancé, John Mason, married another woman in a quiet ceremony at his parents' home in Duluth.
Best Quote from Runaway Bride
Maggie Carpenter: Bless me Father for I have sinned. My last confession was... well. Anyway, I have sorta a technical question. I've been having bad thoughts, really bad thoughts.
Priest Brian: Of an impure nature?
Maggie Carpenter: No, No, I want to destroy this man's life, career everything. I want revenge. Now on a sins scale how bad is that? Can I Hail Mary my way out of that?

Best Quote From Big Fat Greek Wedding
Ian Miller: What do you do for Christmas with your family?
Toula Portokalos: Uh, my mom makes roast lamb.
Ian Miller: Mmm... with mint jelly?
Toula Portokalos: No.
[pause]
Ian Miller: And...?
Toula Portokalos: And...
[pause]
Toula Portokalos: I'm Greek, right?
Ian Miller: Right?
Toula Portokalos: So, what happens is my dad and uncles, they fight over who gets to eat the lamb brain. And then my aunt Voula forks the eyeball and chases me around with it, try to get me to eat it, 'cause it's gonna make me smart. So, you have two cousins, I have 27 first cousins. Just 27 first cousins alone! And my whole family is big and loud. And everybody is in each other's lives and business. All the time! Like, you never just have a minute alone, just to think, 'Cause we're always together, just eating, eating, eating! The only other people we know are Greeks, 'cause Greeks marry Greeks to breed more Greeks, to be loud breeding Greek eaters.
Ian Miller: Wow.
