This 1994 family drama film really knew how to pull at the heartstrings of anyone who watched it. Based on the 1868 novel of the same name by Louisa May Alcott, Little Women was a blockbuster at the time it was released. No surprises why - it had an all-star cast featuring Winona Ryder, Kirsten Dunst, Claire Danes. Christian Bale, and Susan Sarandon.
The storyline focuses on the March sisters, Meg, Jo, Beth, and Amy, and is set during and after the American Civil War. The girls are raised by their mother while their father is away at war. The film follows the lives of the girls as they deal with violence, romance, illness, and tragedy in such a tumultuous time. It really is a classic that doesn't get old - we even loved reading the book, too.
