Who exactly is "they"? There is lots of creativity out there, but it's not being used in favor of lamer and lamer remakes because the corporations that have taken over entertainment know no matter how terrible they are remakes are a sure moneymaker.Creativity is risk.
Mean people suck.

well just look at the new pointless pam and tommy movie on hulu. and the new reality show tv show about dirty dancing. they will make a movie about anything. in fact they will actually remake a movie like dirty dancing into a completely different entity a realty show bc that is how much they've run out of ideas and originality in hollywood.
bc they already made a remake movie.

Seems like Zendaya is replacing Britney as the go to actress for roles about female strung out on dope.

Mean people suck.

She was also in "Don't Say A Word" as well as (the now sadly titled) "The Dead Girl". She was good in both.

What a lame post She's done way better things than Clueless.

Funny no one mentions Happy Feet. One of my favorites, even though it was just her voice, I knew her best for her role as Gloria. She had an awesome voice.

Pfft nobody mentioned her in Clueless ?!?!?
She was in a ton of more successful movies, plenty of them as a lead, too.

She had a remarkable range.

I actually didn't know her from Clueless because I didn't see that film until I was much older. I grew up watching her in lots of movies though Girl Interrupted, Drop Dead Gorgeous, Cherry Falls, Uptown Girls, 8 Mile, Don't Say a Word, Just Married she was a very widely known actress with a big audience and fanbase, and a lot of people from my generation grew up watching her in these movies. As far as her talent goes, she was fantastic in The Dead Girl, Girl Interrupted, and Spun. She was a respectable actress and regarded as a talent by many. Roger Ebert championed her talent throughout her career.

The Little Black Book was awful.

Actually Alicia Silverstone had a mile success ( was also the most known one since "the Crush" after Clueless. I would say that out of the whole movie the two most claim to fame from that movie were Paul Rudd and Brittany Murphy.

If you look her movies ,she kind was the only actress of this movie that "made it".

YOU know her for Clueless. That certainly doesn't mean that's all she was known for open your mind a bit.

I've only watched her in Clueless,Little Black Book and 8 Mile. Of course you will be underrated if you can't bring in an audience for a movie. She was never a lead actress but supporting cast. She had plenty of opportunities but couldn't get people in the seats. She was entertaining as a supporting actress but she couldn't carry a movie on her own.
You are so wrong it's laughable. Talent and being able to generate box office revenue do not always go together. Cameron Diaz isn't a brilliant actor, nor is Tom Cruise, but they have always been very bankable and not because of their acting ability, but because they have grossed millions. Being able to get people in seats has nothing to do with talent.
Look at actors like Cate Blanchett, Sissy Spacek, Frances McDormand, Sam Rockwell, Julianne Moore, Phillip Seymour Hofman, Daniel Day Lewis. They've never been huge box office draws, but they are/were some of the most talented people in the industry. It's because they don't make films that appeal to EVERYBODY, like Cruise, Adam Sandler, Diaz, Katherine Heigl, Mel Gibson, Julia Roberts et al., who probably pick movies like action flicks or rom-coms because they know those types of films have huge audiences and they are worried more about their salary than the film itself.
You should listen more to what the critics say and less to what audiences see. Casual audiences, most of the time, would have no idea what a good film is if it hit them in the face. So in defence of Brittany Murphy, just because she wasn't a "leading lady' (a bogus and pathetic term), doesn't mean she couldn't act.

Even if she was only known for "Clueless" so what? That was a movie for the generation of the 90's and will always be special in that way.

You obviously haven't seen "Girl Interrupted" then

She has a lot of fans. I felt like I grew up with her because she just happened to be in all of my childhood and teen movies. It probably doesn't effect someone as much who either wasn't into her type of films or who wasn't a teen during the highlights of her career.
There is also so much controversy and conspiracy surrounding her death, that it is more than just the traditional "drug overdose" death that most young stars seem to have.

I agree about the beginning, but as the movie goes on, she carried it. Her being a manic depressive in it was something interesting to watch.
