Movies for a Splendid Girls' Night In
This is a list consisting of titles that all of my four friends and I would enjoy. We are a diverse bunch of friends. We have different personalities, but also different tastes. Therefore it's not always easy to pick out a film. The main genres we all like are drama and romance. But the titles below can also contain a dash of fantasy or sci-fi, though nothing too present. Great for watching with your mom too. Enjoy!
