10 movies you want to watch this Singles Day
Gather all your single girlfriends, stock up on as many snacks as possible, and get comfortable: tomorrow is Singles Day, and how better to celebrate it than with your dearest friends and a movie marathon that you can’t resist? So snuggle up together, set aside all your worries, and enjoy the following films that are perfect for romanticizing your single life.
First Wives Club
Get ready to climb on the table and belt out ‘you don’t own meeee’ as loud as you can. First Wives Club is a delightful 90’s movie about women who decide to take revenge on their ex-husbands. De-lightful.
Eat, Pray, Love
Did I ever tell you that in a moment of madness I booked a ticket to Rome to mend my broken heart with limoncello, cacio e pepe, and winks from dreamy Italian men? Julia Roberts made me do it, and she was right, that woman. This. Works. Now, it might be a bit over the top to fly back and forth to Rome for a day, but streaming Eat, Pray, Love is really the next best thing.
Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants
This film follows a group of four friends who buy a pair of pants that fits them all perfectly. Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants is about more than just the pants; it also symbolizes the unconditional friendship of the girls.
The Sweetest Thing
Thanks to Cameron Diaz, Christina Applegate, and Selma Blair, my absolute comfort movie about two friends who go on a hilarious road trip to chase after a man they met in a club. Guaranteed to make you laugh out loud.
Romy and Michele’s High School Reunion
For Romy and Michele, friendship comes above all. When they receive an invitation to their high school reunion, they worry that their fun and hip lifestyle might not look so good to their traditional, more successful classmates. This film follows them as they try a bit too hard to make their lives better while remembering the hell of high school and how they managed to have fun and be themselves because they had each other. Romy and Michele’s High School Reunion is a true ode to friendship.
The Break-Up
About how having a man who suffers from weaponized incompetence can lead to an inevitable breakup and how all phases of such a breakup manifest.
How To Be Single
Every single person should see this movie at least once. How To Be Single is a film about navigating the complex modern dating world and takes you through a story where Dakota Johnson and Rebel Wilson try to find their way in single life. Hilarious, relatable, and an absolute must-see.
Legally Blonde
Yes, this is of course the classic. Reese Witherspoon plays Elle Woods, whose world is turned upside down when her boyfriend breaks up with her instead of proposing. She decides to win him back by following him to Harvard Law School, proving everyone who ever doubted her wrong. I won’t say much more, except: Elle Woods for president.
The Other Woman
The Other Woman follows Kate King, played by Leslie Mann, who discovers that her husband is having an affair with not one, but two other women (Cameron Diaz and Kate Upton). The three women find each other and develop a unique friendship while devising a revenge plan to teach the man who cheated on all three of them a lesson once and for all.
Someone Great
Beware: this film may bring on some tears. Someone Great knows exactly how to hit the most painful spot of your broken heart, as it perfectly shows how you feel after a fresh breakup. It’s on the list because the story is all about the love between three friends and how they help each other through the tough moments of life.
