Shampoo

Of course!

Out of Africa

Overall, not a hair movie, but the scene where Robert Redford
washes Meryl Streep?s hair . . . definitely memorable.

Legends of the Fall

Was anything more tragic than Julia Ormond cutting those
luscious tresses? (Well, maybe when she offed herself.) And Brad
Pitt?s grunge/sensitive New Age cowboy hair plays a strong
supporting role.

Romy & Michelle?s High School Reunion

Hair second only to costumes. Tubular.

Hairspray

For obvious reasons.

Valley of the Dolls

Extreme bouffantage.

Elizabeth

Cate Blanchett?s stunning locks almost scared me.

Hair

Well, duh.

Titus

Jessica Lange with blue snakes as hair. Hello, Medusa!

10

Bo Derek makes cornrows safe for white people.
