This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Northeastern chapter.

With Valentine’s Day rapidly approaching, you should already have your Galentine’s Day movie list planned out, but just in case you don’t, here are nine of my favorite G-Day movies.

1. “Valentine’s Day” (2010)

Why wouldn’t you want to watch Taylor Lautner gift an enormously large teddy bear to Taylor Swift as a symbol of Valentine’s Day love?!

2. “Legally Blonde” (2001)

Funny and empowering, Elle Woods is the ultimate Galentine’s Day inspo.

3. “How to be Single” (2016)

You and your BFF will not only learn a few tips and tricks for being single, but also die laughing because Rebel Wilson is hilarious.

4. “Pitch Perfect” (2012)

Warning: you and your squad might want to audition for your school’s acapella group after watching. Why? Because you’ll be aca-inspired.

5. “Mean Girls” (2004)

Fetch might not be happening, but girls’ night is! This is the most classic girls’ night movie there is, and it will probably make you want to wear pink on Wednesdays.

6. “Clueless” (1995)

Cher is everyone’s spirit animal. As if you even need a reason to watch Cher and Dionne slay high school.

7. “Parent Trap” (1998)                                                                                                                Courtesy of Alloy

If nothing else, at least you’ll learn how to switch places with your long lost twin, if the situation ever arises.

8. “P.S. I Love You” (2007)

Get a two-in-one deal with a heartwarming and heartbreaking storyline that will definitely leave you feeling inspired to find yourself a Gerry.

9. “Bridesmaids” (2011)

I’m not sure what kind of Galentine’s Day movie list would be complete without this one. It’s all about those lady friendships, which is exactly what G-day is all about.

So get ready to grab your besties, along with some movie watching snacks, and go spend your Galentine’s Day with your favorite gal pals. And while you’re at it, watch season two, episode sixteen of “Parks and Recreation” to see where Galentine’s Day all began.
