Share the Gossip...0000

It’s a sacred, timeless tradition of chocolate, gossip, laughter and tears where girls can just be girls. That’s right, I’m talking about a girls night in, a night where it’s totally acceptable to ditch the guy and ditch the dress for best friends and sweatpants.  And as every girl knows, no girls night in is complete without one important accessory — no, I’m not talking about the wine…though that never hurts — I’m talking about chick flicks! Whether you’re in the mood to laugh, cry or both, I guarantee the following movies won’t disappoint.

Feeling Nostalgic:

 You may have graduated high school (and college), but that doesn’t mean you’ve graduated past all the drama and fun of adolescence. These movies will have you longing for the days of backpacks and binders, instead of briefcases and bills…but only for a moment.

• Mean Girls
• 10 Things I Hate About You
• The Breakfast Club
• Clueless
• Juno

Ready for Romance:

Whether you’re nursing a broken heart or happily dating “the one,” everyone needs a little romance now and then. The following movies will make you believe that true love really does exist, no matter if you’ve already found it or not.

• Titanic
• The Notebook
• Pretty Woman
• Pride and Prejudice
• Love Actually

In the Mood to Laugh:

There’s nothing better than laughing, unless it’s laughing with your best friends. If you’re looking for a good old fashioned comedy, here are some that will keep you and your girlfriends giggling all night long.

• Bridesmaids
• Legally Blonde
• Miss Congeniality
• Pitch Perfect
• The Proposal

Now that you’ve settled on a movie, there’s one last essential item needed to make a girls night in pure perfection. Yes, this time I am talking about the wine…and chocolate and popcorn, etc. Check out these local Chicago companies for some delicious movie night eats.
