Ever wanted to watch movies with your friends but had no idea which ones to pick? Here’s a list of my 7 favorite movies to watch for a girls’ night in!
1. Beyond the Lights
Noni, a rising star, isn’t really living her life the way she wants to. It is so bad that she doesn’t want to go on.

This movie makes you question whether or not you’re following your own dreams, while also watching a beautiful love story unfold.
2. Mean Girls

3. About Last Night
Michael Ealy and Joy Bryant play Danny and Debbie, a new couple who move quickly after having what they thought was a one night stand. They go as far as moving in together, but in the end they can’t help but wonder: Do they really love each other? Or was it just a really long one night stand? Kevin Hart also stars to give hilarious side plots with the help of Regina Hall.
4. Frozen
