Bailey Rydell's Recommended Films from Alex, Approximately

If you've read Alex, Approximately, you know the main characters, Bailey and "Alex" are major film geeks. They love movies, and it's how they bonded. As I was rereading Alex, Approximately on its release day, I decided to make a list of every movie quoted at the beginning of a chapter and other movies Bailey herself directly references. So if you're wondering what movies Bailey Rydell recommends you watch, I've got a list for you (I should note that I haven't seen most of these movies, so they don't necessarily have my stamp of approval).
