75 Years of Manic Pixie Dream Girls

Wikipedia Film says critic Nathan Rabin came up with the phrase Manic Pixie Dream Girl as “that bubbly, shallow cinematic creature that exists solely in the fevered imaginations of sensitive writer-directors to teach broodingly soulful young men to embrace life and its infinite mysteries and adventures.” Flavorwire came up with clips celebrating 75 years of Manic Pixie Dream Girls.
