WHAT TO WATCH THIS GALENTINES DAY


Today is ‘Galentines Day’; you can keep your valentines. In the wise words of Leslie Knope, the 13th of February is for celebrating gal pals. I have thought of a handful of my favourite films that are particularly great when viewed with pink wine and guilt free junk food. Enjoy!

The Mighty Rom-Coms

Notting Hill (1999)
Richard Curtis is the king of the Romantic Comedy. Notting Hill is an undoubted classic with Hugh Grant and Julia Roberts, do I need to say more?

He’s Just Not That Into You (2009)
He’s Just Not That Into You is like the Love Actually of dating. It’s a host of interlinked stories, so you’re sure to have someone to root for. 

The Literary Classic

Pride & Prejudice (2005)
Joe Wright’s adaptation of the Jane Austen novel is not only my favourite adaptation but is one of my favourite films. Seriously, I have no idea how many times I have seen it and I’d happily watch it again this Galentines.

Breakfast at Tiffany’s (1961)
Based on the novel of by Truman Capote; Audrey Hepburn is Holly Golightly, a New York socialite seeking a rich husband and enjoying bagels outside of Tiffany’s until she becomes interested in the young man who has moved in to her building.


 The Cautionary Tale

Gone Girl (2014)
Take two seriously messed up people, who may or may not be compatible, add a media frenzy and tie it up with a murder mystery bow and you have the incredible tension of Gone Girl. If you’re looking for something that will distract you from everything heart shaped and social media displays of affection this weekend, anything from David Fincher should do the trick.
