2. GIRLS TRIP



UNIVERSAL PICTURES

Sometimes there’s nothing better than watching a good group of friends go absolutely haywire. Not only did this movie introduce us to Tiffany Haddish, but it’ll inspire messy girl’s weekends for years to come. Also Paul Thomas Anderson recently called it one of his favorite movies of all time. Would you ever doubt PTA? Happy grapefruiting.

3. BOOKSMART

This is possibly Olivia Wilde’s greatest accomplishment since her stint on The O.C. Her directorial debut takes the standard "last day of high school" movie structure and makes it seem completely one-of-a-kind. The characters are so well written, and the soundtrack absolutely bangs.

4. DROP DEAD GORGEOUS



NEW LINE CINEMA

This severely underrated movie probably has the most interesting ‘Where are they now?’ cast ever. The story follows a fake documentary film crew covering pageant girls that ruthlessly compete for a small town crown. Its just classic 90s fashion and antics, who doesn’t love that?

5. THEY CAME TOGETHER

Ahh rom-coms, you’ve seen one, you’ve seen ‘em all. Except maybe this one? This wacky parody gives us Paul Rudd and Amy Poehler in peak SNL skit mode and we couldn’t ask for anything better.
