So, call up your friends, get your snacks in order and spend a night in. You can donate what you would have spent on a night out, to vital work in prevention, education and research into women’s cancers.
You don’t even have to stress about choosing what to watch…we’ve rounded up 30 flicks that practically require you to view them in the presence of your favourite gal pals.
From love stories to hilarious flicks, these movies will help you ease into the weekend—with your BFFs by your side. Plus, you’ve likely seen them before, so you can catch up on what’s been happening in each other’s lives without worrying about missing plot clues.
My Best Friend’s Wedding
The unrequited love and heartbreak tugs at your heart strings.
27 Dresses
Always a bridesmaid, never a bride – so relatable. This is the perfect movie to get in the mood if you’ve got a big wedding season ahead.
The Notebook
This might be the most romantic movie of all time. The love triangle. The old couple reminiscing. Make sure to have some tissues on hand
Dear John
Again with the tears. Who doesn’t love a chick flick with Channing Tatum?
Love Actually
Nothing really needs to be said here…apart from, why wait until Christmas to watch this gem?!
Bridesmaids
What goes better together than love and comedy? Everyone wants to be the maid of honour.
Clueless
As if! Get into 90s nostalgia with Cher and her friends, who have the ridiculous outfits and hilarious one-liners to lift your mood.
The Devil Wears Prada
Need a little motivation to follow your dreams? New jobs are always interesting…and the fashion alone makes this movie worth a watch.
The Sisterhood of the Travelling Pants
There is nothing more awesome than watching four best friends going on adventures and generally being there for each other.
Ever After
We all love a movie that ends with happily ever after.
Crazy Stupid Love
Divorce, new relationships, Ryan Gosling – it has it all!
Pitch Perfect
From the singing to the non-stop jokes, this is one flick you can’t watch too many times. You could even have a Lip Sync Battle to the songs!
Dirty Dancing
Who wouldn’t want to spend summer at a resort with a gorgeous dance instructor?
Mean Girls
Some of the mean girl moments are out of control, but it’s the only flick that includes “mathletes”, puking on a crush, and a person getting hit by a bus and still making it to prom.
Legally Blonde
Sure, a bit ditzy – but #girlpower. You can’t beat a plot line focused on a woman smashing everyone’s expectations.
10 Things I Hate About You
Based on Shakepeare’s ‘Taming of the Shrew’ and featuring Heath Ledger, this movie is sweet, funny and “just too good to be true”.
Friends with Benefits
Attractive actors, a typical romcom story line and a happy, sappy ending. The complete chick flick package.
Bridget Jones’ Diary
Watching Bridget may help you realise how much you *actually* do have your life together. And, who doesn’t love Hugh Grant?
Letters to Juliet
A modern twist on the timeless classic.
My Big Fat Greek Wedding
Awkward in all the right ways. A classic comedy and chick flick. Plus, you can watch the sequel afterwards!
Mamma Mia
Get ready to bust out some tunes.
Notting Hill
We all wish we were dating a movie star. Another Hugh Grant classic.
Pretty in Pink
When in doubt, break out a classic.
Sweet Home Alabama
No one forgets their first love.
The Vow
Rachel McAdams does it again.
Two Weeks’ Notice
Hugh Grant again…well, he was the rom com king. Opposites attract in this cute flick.
The Holiday
Jude Law brings the accent, while Jack Black brings the humour. Kate Winslet and Cameron Diaz as the female leads – #winning.
Leap Year
Based off an old Irish folklore tradition where a woman can propose to a man on a leap day. It’s quite a predictable movie but it will definitely make you go ‘aww!’
No Reservations
Warning: You may have to fill up with the popcorn, with all the food shots in this film. The plot is based on Kate, a chef who struggles with life after learning she’s the guardian of her late sister’s daughter, until Nick, who’s personality is the complete opposite, comes into the picture.
The Proposal
Witty and adorable.
