Burlesque is one of them for me. I first watched Burlesque when I was six years old at my cousin’s house. Her mom put it on, and the room lit up—not just from the glitter and stage lights on screen, but with laughter, excitement, and something electric in the air. Back then, we were neighbors. I remember running barefoot with my cousin through the big green lawns that separated our semi-large houses, cutting through that small, lush forest that felt like a magical world of our own. Watching Burlesque in that setting was like stepping into a fantasy of feathers, sequins, dreams, and fire. The story follows Ali (Christina Aguilera), a small-town girl with a big voice who escapes hardship and lands in a glamorous L.A. burlesque lounge. Sure, the critics weren’t kind to it, but let’s be real—six-year-old me didn’t care about the Tomatometer. I saw sparkle, ambition, and power. I saw women owning the stage and their identities. I saw Cher as a goddess of survival. And I saw dreams that looked bigger than life… but somehow felt reachable. The music stayed with me for weeks, especially Christina’s powerhouse numbers. Even as a child, I felt the raw emotion in her voice. I didn’t know what it meant to “leave it all behind” yet, but something in her eyes told me that this was a movie about becoming who you are—no matter where you start. That stuck with me. Like Moulin Rouge!, Burlesque became part of my personal mythology. It’s loud, bold, a little messy—and that’s exactly what made it beautiful. Looking back, I see it was more than just a fun musical. It was a vision of transformation, of finding your voice when no one else hears it yet. I still think of that night at my cousin’s. The way we danced after the credits. The way we all believed, just for a moment, that we belonged on a stage too. That’s the magic of Burlesque. That’s why it’s still gold to me. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/27/25 Full Review Tina T My husband and I love this movie! We have a copy, and we watch it often. Sometimes, I fast forward through just to see the dance numbers. The story is also great. Drama, romance, lots of style, sultryness, and Cher and Christina. What's not to like? Are the critics all uptight religious fanatics? This movie is a great date night film. Finally, an entertaining story for adults with an amazing soundtrack and compelling characters, and no murderor mayhem. Ignore the critics, and watch it. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/16/25 Full Review David S Netflix recommended this as one of the most rewatched movies on Netflix. Glad I watched it. Sometimes critics miss the mark on a classic but the data is in and critics are wrong about this one. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/10/25 Full Review Read all reviews
