Iconic Chick Flicks To Stream At Home With A Glass Of Wine

It’s the usual Friday night dilemma: Go out and immediately regret your choice of footwear, or put on your sweats, curl up on the couch and stream your favourite chick flick with a glass of wine in hand.

If you haven’t had a break from the hectic summer social calendar yet, it’s time to embrace the joy of missing out!

To prepare for your night in, you just have to answer two questions. Which wine to enjoy and which movie to watch?  Are you feeling more Ryan Gosling or Patrick Swayze? Prefer some romance or after a bit of comedy?

Forget endlessly scrolling Netflix – read on for the 11 most iconic chick flicks, in no particular order, for your joyful night in.

1. THE NOTEBOOK

Is there really a better choice than Ryan Gosling? Of course not. The Notebook will have you laughing, crying and wishing there was a Noah out there building you your very own waterfront mansion.

2. BRIDGET JONES’ DIARY 

Bridget Jones showed women everywhere there is no shame in wearing oversized pants, and we are so about it. From questionable Christmas sweaters to painful love triangles and being the only single person at a dinner party, let Bridget Jones, Mark Darcy and Daniel Cleaver take you on the hilarious ride of finding love.

3. PRETTY WOMAN 

Julia Roberts and Richard Gere; iconic. This one is a 90s classic, with a young Julia giving everyone a lesson in how to be yourself while still making an impression (that escargot scene!), and is a must-watch for women all over the world.

4. NEVER BEEN KISSED 

High school can be tough, and having to do it twice? No thanks. Drew Barrymore absolutely nails the awkward high school student in this classic; Never Been Kissed is one film you’ll definitely want to have the bubbles on hand for, as you reach for the tissues when you’re in either hysterics or inconsolable sadness.

5. LEGALLY BLONDE 

It’s not that hard to get into law school, right? Elle Woods doesn’t think so. Repping both standout fashion sense and the smarts to match, your Friday night will be an education in how to prove your doubters wrong.
