Selma Blair Admits She’ll “Never” Skip on Rewatching ‘Cruel Intentions’ and ‘Legally Blonde’

Selma Blair has so much appreciation for some of her early acting projects that she’ll never pass on an opportunity to rewatch them.

The actress looked back at some of her favorite movies, including Cruel Intentions and Legally Blonde, during an interview with People magazine at The Daily Front Row’s 11th Annual Fashion Media Awards on Friday.

Blair said of the 1999 cult classic that saw her play Cecile Caldwell: “It makes me so happy though, that it would give any more attention, because that movie is such a good, sexy … I don’t know, talk about wardrobe. I mean, she [costume designer Denise Wingate] did an amazing job with the wardrobe.”

“But it was one of the most gorgeous movies,” she added of Cruel Intentions, which also starred Sarah Michelle Gellar, Ryan Phillippe and Reese Witherspoon. “It still lasts. It still holds up. And I love it. And I love everyone in that cast.”

The actress noted, “I’ll watch it all the time,” before clarifying, “I mean, I don’t put it on. But if it’s in the background, I will never turn it off. … Like, never.”

Blair feels the same way about the 2001 rom-com, which saw her play Vivian, alongside Witherspoon’s Elle Woods.

“[I] never turn off Legally Blonde, too. I’ll never turn that off,” the actress admitted. “Because that’s just really happy … and they have a great energy and they’re beautiful … and I was so thrilled.”

The Hellboy star added that she’s just excited to see “the younger generation” starting to discover these beloved films from the ’90s and early 2000s.

“I hope that things come back in style. My mom said, ‘Everything always comes back in style,’” Blair said. “If they’re fine things, they’ll come back in style, like clothes and actors and fans.”
