60 of 117 · most liked firstThese was a one or two week stretch where there was only one movie that wasn't rated R in our theater and it was The First Wives Club so when I was fifteen I saw The First Wives Club three times because it was the only movie you could take a date to at our movie theater at fifteen.
positive · AI labelView post →How heart-breaking that Diane Keaton is gone. I loved her in so many roles especially The First Wives Club 💔😢 Her amazing body of work will live on. I think I may need to do a Diane Keaton movie marathon. 😢😢😢
neutral · AI labelView post →Just had a dream I was doing karaoke and I was singing "You Don't Own Me" from the First Wives Club but I stopped partway through to explain the plot of the movie to the crowd. What I'm saying is I'm tedious even in my dreams.
neutral · AI labelView post →The Godfather, The Godfather Part II, Annie Hall, Reds, Baby Boom, The First Wives Club, etc. etc. etc. Diane Keaton's range was astonishing. (Reds is perhaps my favorite of her performances)
neutral · AI labelView post →RIP Diane Keaton. I was...obsessed with The First Wives Club movie in middle school.
positive · AI labelView post →The First Wives Club is an elite plane movie
positive · AI labelView post →Watching The First Wives Club is making me miss when people were allowed to be this camp and heightened in a non-cartoony film. Today I feel like everyone would have to play this very grounded/restrained. There's emotional truth here but everyone is also playing for the back row and it's glorious.
positive · AI labelView post →Trying to figure out why I saw The First Wives Club in the theater. Whose mom was going through it and was like, "Have I got the movie for you kids!"
neutral · AI labelView post →Actually, in the First Wives Club movie, Ivana said, "Don't get mad. Get everything."
neutral · AI labelView post →And yes, I am aware that The First Wives Club is not, on its surface, the likeliest candidate for a teen date movie
neutral · AI labelView post →I just got through watching The First Wives Club with Diane Keaton, Bette Midler and Goldie Hawn. I forgot how much I love that movie. Rest in peace, Diane Keaton.
positive · AI labelView post →Very sad news that movie great, the incredible Diane Keaton has passed away. The Godfather, Annie Hall, Reds, The First Wives Club, Something’s Gotta Give and so much more. Her legacy is huge and she’ll be sorely missed. Rest in peace.
neutral · AI labelView post →Day 12: A film you know almost word for word Film: THE FIRST WIVES CLUB (1996) My favorite movie. Don’t get mad, get everything. 💍 🥂
positive · AI labelView post →We put on "The First Wives' Club" & a) my college friends and I are the same age as the women in the film b) if Zoomer women are going "marriage is a mug's game; I'm adopting a cockadoodle & taking bubble baths" good for them! The robes are terrific, though!

neutral · AI labelView post →Fun Fact #508: Screenwriter and playwright Robert Harling wrote the play and film adaptation of “Steel Magnolias,” while also acting as the priest, and “The First Wives Club.” “Steel Magnolias” is a dramatized version of his sister’s determination to not let Type 1 Diabetes run her life.
neutral · AI labelView post →My favorite movie when I was around 8-12 was The First Wives Club. I’ve probably seen it more than any other movie and I think it had a profound effect on me. It’s why I’m a strong believer in grudges, revenge, and female friends. RIP Diane Keaton! One of the greats!

positive · AI labelView post →Lemme go leave a bad review for Goonies on Rotten Tomatoes as retaliation for folks leaving bad reviews The First Wives Club (an actually GOOD movie)
positive · AI labelView post →The first date I ever went on was to see Annie Hall. Diane Keaton shone in every scene she was in, in any film. I loved so many of her films: Interiors, Reds, Shoot the Moon, Mrs Soffel, The Good Mother, The First Wives Club, Hanging Up, The Young Pope. RIP to an icon of style & a brilliant actor.
neutral · AI labelView post →Having movie therapy this evening with The First Wives Club. 📽️❤️
positive · AI labelView post →The First Wives Club. I actually like the book, but it is MESSY, and the film tightens things up fantastically. Also make everything a lot less "even in the mid-90s, we'd probably get a side-eye if we put this on film".
positive · AI labelView post →If they said Mike Flanagan’s Exorcist movie was from, say, the First Wives Club universe, then I’d be intrigued.
neutral · AI labelView post →Watching The First Wives' Club in honor of Diane Keaton and wondering how we can set up a big screening of this movie for the trad wive set.
positive · AI labelView post →After a couple years off, Bette Midler returned to the big screen in 1996 w/ the biggest movie hit of her career, The First Wives Club. The iconic trio of @therealbettemidler.bsky.social, Goldie Hawn, & Diane Keaton helped the film bring in $105 million (#11 for the year) at the box office #filmsky

neutral · AI labelView post →We re-watched The First Wives Club last night, and that’s a movie that holds up well. But between that and The Fifth Element a few days earlier (still a fabulous film btw) we were really struck by just how much smoking there is in 90s movies
positive · AI labelView post →Sometimes ads are fine while watching a movie and sometimes they've been jammed in so poorly that you get the TV announcer in The First Wives Club announcing the death of Cynthia and then one beat later, I hear "Ahh... nature!" bc it's cut abruptly to some commercial.
neutral · AI labelView post →Bette Midler's killer output in the 90's. #8 1996 The First Wives Club @therealbettemidler.bsky.social gets the biggest box office hit of her movie career.

The Princess Bride, and The First Wives Club are two of my absolute favorites of his that no matter how many times I've seen them they still make me laugh. Mr Reiner I sincerely hope you're at peace. variety.com/2025/film/ne...

positive · AI labelView post →I said I've never seen a Diane Keaton movie and my mother was like, "Didn't you see The First Wives Club?" and I'm like yes but I was maybe ten?

positive · AI labelView post →My friend and I just re-watched The First Wives’ Club a month ago. Diane Keaton was so good in that movie. What a career, RIP.
positive · AI labelView post →But, like, right now, there is nowhere to watch The First Wives Club. That's a specific example, but it's pretty wild considering how much that movie meant to so many people
positive · AI labelView post →Every day is full of surprises, with Musk & Dump. This "divorce" is the best show to date. Remindful of Ivana Trump's line, doing a cameo in the movie "The First Wives Club": "don't get even, get everything". Will Musk topple Dump, after winning him the election? Stay tuned for more.
neutral · AI labelView post →Today is Goldie Hawn's birthday! She starred with Bette Midler and Diane Keaton in the $105 MILLION grossing smash hit movie, The First Wives Club. 3 iconic actresses with iconic chemistry in an iconic movie with an iconic song and ending. #bettemidler #goldiehawn
neutral · AI labelView post →I was 12 when I read The First Wives Club. In my defense, I had seen and liked the movie and had no idea how much they'd cleaned up the book for it.
neutral · AI labelView post →That sounds like Ivana Trump’s line in the First Wives Club movie - ‘don’t get mad, get everything’.

positive · AI labelView post →No, it didn’t. His first wife, Ivana, had a cameo in the film “The First Wives Club”. She gave the advice how to handle a divorce: “Don’t get mad, get everything”. She didn’t though. After her death she was buried on his golf course. It was a tax avoidance scheme invented by the evil one.
neutral · AI labelView post →I make a similar joke about Bette Midler that how after The First Wives Club she said “I’ve done all I can do here” and never made another movie.
neutral · AI labelView post →It's so spooky that I re-watched this movie (The First Wives' Club) the afternoon before... And commented on how endearing Diane Keaton was! Rest in Perfect Peace Diane Keaton.
positive · AI labelView post →Reast in Peace Diane Keaton... I first saw her in the movie, Baby Boom as a child in the 1990s. Then, the Godfather movies as, Kay Adams, Father of the Bride and The First Wives Club... A nice lady...❤️
neutral · AI labelView post →People Magazine: Diane Keaton died. Me: OMG! From “The Godfather”? That’s devastating! People Magazine: No. Me: Oh, so, then “Looking for Mr. Goodbar”? People Magazine: No. Me: Oh….from “Annie Hall”, then? The film she won an Oscar for? People Magazine: No. “The First Wives Club.” Me:…
neutral · AI labelView post →I watched ‘The First Wives Club’ at 12 for the 1st time. My parents had already begun teaching me that 1 day I would be a woman & needed to be able to take care of myself. W/o divorced ppl in my family I didn’t get what they were trying to say. This movie solidified the lesson for me #ripDianeKeaton

neutral · AI labelView post →Like the First Wives Club there is a chauvanism in the movie making industry that has severely undercut niche storytelling.
neutral · AI labelView post →I recently watched the film, “The First Wives Club”. I had forgotten Ivana had a cameo appearance at the end among other well known people of New York.
neutral · AI labelView post →I know I can have my gay card revoked for admitting this, but... I've never actually seen The First Wives Club. So for tonight's Friday Night Home Movie Night, I'm rectifying that!
neutral · AI labelView post →I went the movie route. I watched one where the serial killer got bested by his female victim. (I don't want to name the movie so as not to spoil the experience by revealing the ending.) Then, I watched The First Wives Club! "You don't own me...."
positive · AI labelView post →The First Wives Club is an excellent film.
positive · AI labelView post →One thing you gotta hand to The First Wives Club: the STAR POWER. We get into not just Keaton, Midler & Hawn, but SJP, Elizabeth Berkley, Dame Maggie Smith… This film is the gift. 🎁😂 #FilmSky #Movies #FirstWivesClub www.tiktok.com/t/ZPLdeTvL8/
