For last week's Recast challenge, I had BuzzSugar readers pursue a perfect new cast for the irresistible Southern chick-flick, Steel Magnolias. In my opinion, this was one of the toughest Recasts to date, so I was astounded by how many great submissions came in.

I loved RCLdesigngirl's choice of Amy Adams to play Shelby, and her casting of Meryl Streep as Clairee was echoed by several other users, including Erinnoelle and lslybnks. But the best overall Recast came from Pinkrabbit, who really nailed every role, particularly Stockard Channing as M'Lynn. Congrats, Pinkrabbit! Here are her picks.

M'Lynn — Stockard Channing
Shelby — Reese Witherspoon
Truvy — Ashley Judd
Ouiser — Carrie Fisher
Annelle — Liv Tyler
Clairee — Catherine O'Hara

Ever wonder what a movie or TV show would be like if you could be the casting director? Well, every Wednesday on BuzzSugar, I'll be posting a Recast challenge, where I'll ask you to recast a classic TV show or movie for these modern times.

This week's challenge: the irresistible Southern chick-flick, Steel Magnolias. I'll be the first to admit that this movie was very well cast the first time around — with the exception, in my opinion, of Julia Roberts. But it's been almost 20 years since Steel Magnolias came out, so who could fill these great female roles today? Leave your entry us in the comment section below, and I'll pick one winner to feature next Tuesday, Jan. 16, complete with a "new" cast photo.

Characters to recast:
M'Lynn (Sally Field)
