For those of you who haven’t watched "Mean Girls", please do, and for those of you who have, why are we celebrating it today? Although there are several iconic moments in the classic movie, It's the day Aaron Samuels (Johnathan Bennett) asked Cady (Lindsay Lohan) what the date was in math class, and she said ‘October 3rd.’ It was the first day they ever spoke.

Mean girl is a cult classic, the movie still plays in the hearts of so many fans.
Directed by Mark Waters the 2004 movie goes beyond the Tina Fey's script and brings back the memory of some classic actors who deliver the lines so superbly.
Including Tina Fey as the teacher. It's appealing as a first-person monologue, and is different from everyone else, but tries to fit in. It’s a LiLo classic, and this kind of movies is what we love about her! Including Just my luck, or even Parent Trap. Lohan captures a part of acting that is distinguished and natural, which is probably what we loved the most about her movies. It's also a classic chick flick, high school drama, that other movie just aren't, and can't even compare to. Even if it's easy A, or Pretty in Pink, this movie has all the drama that you wouldn't expect, and its sheer boldness, of putting it across especially with the witty, catchy dialogue, is brilliance on its own.
