I know that it's probably sounding horrifically stereotypical but I really don't care. Sometimes girls just got to sit in their pjs, watch a cute film, drink wine, eat chocolate and gossip about ex boyfriends. Sorry, not sorry.
So here we are, a countdown of 10 of my all time favourite 'go-to' sleepover films.
Angus, Thongs and Perfect Snogging- This totally reminds me off being 13, and I am unashamed to say that I read my way through all 12 of the Georgia Nicholson books as a pre-teen. Complete guilty pleasure!
Mean Girls- I first saw this at a sleepover with my cousin, pretty apt really. Let's face it, Mean Girls is quite possibly THE single most quotable film in existence. That alone is a pretty good reason to share it with your friends.
Miss Congeniality- Another film that reminds me of being at school. I love this so much, nothing makes you feel like you don't need a man than being reminded that us females, represented by Sandra Bullock, can still kick some major ass. YES SANDRA!
Mamma Mia- Hands up if you've never sung along to this bad boy...Yep, that's no one. Thought so. I rest my case.
The Fault in our Stars- I can see you giving me that confused look. Really?! Think about it this way: 2 or more hormonal adult females, wine and chocolate. This starts to look like an okay film choice. I love this when you and your girl just need a good cry, usually following some sort of breakup or just general confusion, probably caused by a male. And breathe...
Love Rosie- THIS IS MY FAVOURITE FREAKING FILM EVER! Literally, my life is set out in this film. At least I hope my life pans out like this a bit quicker than it does for Rosie. But if you haven't seen this one, I cannot recommend it enough!
Notting Hill- A 90s classic! Julia Roberts and Hugh Grant make this just one of the best films in the world. The casting is so good, and Rhys Ifans cracks me up every time. There is one quote in this that I use all of the time, I just wish that it sunk in a bit more. 'I'm also just a girl, standing in front of a boy, asking him to love her'.
How To Lose A Guy in 10 Days- It's funny. It's cute. It gives you all sorts of feels. And it's got Matthew McConaughey in it. Boom, there it is. Spot on sleepover film right there.
The Five Year Engagement- Maybe a bit too bitter sweet, The Five Year Engagement is another one that tugs at your heartstrings in all sorts of ways. Note: this isn't one for crying at but it does have you shouting at the TV, 'just get married already'.
The Holiday- If you're looking for something festive, nothing beats this one. You know it's nearly Christmas when it one rears it's head on ITV2 (so August then...) but The Holiday gives me that warm excitable Christmas bubble in my stomach.
So there it is my list of chick flicks for girly sleepovers, obviously there are films missing from that line up, this is definitely not a definitive list, for example '50 First Dates', 'Failure to launch' and 'Pretty Woman' to name but a few, all just fell short. However I don't think there's anything on the list that doesn't deserve to be there. So take this as a little dose of inspiration and have a fabulous night in. You're welcome.
