Sure, we all love to go out and hit the town but sometimes, some of the best nights are those spent in with your best girlfriends, a few bottles of wine, Bethenny Frankel’s Skinnygirl cocktails, guacamole and a good movie. Here’s this lady’s top picks for a guilty pleasure girls’ night in:
1. Legally Blonde: I don’t know many women who can’t quote at least 5 lines from this movie off the top of their heads at the drop of a hat. And while that may say something about the people I choose to associate with, I think it’s just good sense. Elle Woods is a fun, lighthearted, fashionable character with a heart of gold and TWO uber-cute love interests.
2. Clueless: Clueless will forever be a part of pop culture for those of us who were tweens and teens in the 90s. To this day, I still lust after Cher’s rotating closet and believe that digital photographs (an upgrade from the Polaroid) are better than any mirror.
3. Sex and the City (I, not II): Carrie and Big. Big and Carrie. This love story was as much a part of my pop culture education as multiplication tables were to my math skills. As much as I love these characters, I do firmly believe that the second movie was simply in poor taste.
4. Sweet Home Alabama: Another Reese Witherspoon hit! Sweet Home Alabama has all the necessary ingredients for a successful girls’ night movie: North meets South, Wealthy Fiance meets Secretly Wealthy Ex-Husband, Civil War battle reenactments and a Tiffany and Co. proposal. Done and Done.
5. Love Actually: Some might believe Love Actually is properly a Christmas movie but I believe Love Actually is so good it’s meant to be enjoyed year-round. There’s young love, lost love, forgotten love, new love, weird love. It’s just a whole-lotta love.
6. How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days: Matthew McConaughey. Matthew McConaughey on a motorcycle. Matthew McConaughey shirtless. Matthew McConaughey in a tux.
7. The Notebook: The Notebook is perfect for a good girls’ night – you can (and you will) cry your eyes out. And not a cute, attractive cry. No, no, no. A-get-the-Costco-sized-box-of-tissues cry that should only be seen by your girlfriends (and maybe your husband, but only after you’ve been married a few years).
8. Mean Girls: Li-Lo before she went La-Loca. Watch this on a good girls’ night and reminisce about all the “mean girl” things you did in high school. Unless, of course, you weren’t ever a mean girl. Which means you’re probably not reading this blog.
9. Sisterhood of the Travelling Pants: Sisterhood! Bonding! Growing up! Pants that MAGICALLY fit every girl! I recommend watching this movie and then sharing pants with your closest female friends. But instead of jeans, let’s be a little more forgiving ladies and opt for some always flattering yoga pants.
10. Bring It On!: All my life I wanted to be a cheerleader, but due to my parents’ decision to send me to a Catholic girls’ school, that was not quite in the cards. Bring It On lets you tap into your inner cheerleader. Come on. You have one.
