It’s definitely summer now, despite all the rain, and on a lovely light evening you may be looking for a good film to watch while you enjoy some ice cream. Here are my top picks of some films to watch over summer.
Date Night
This is one of my favourite ever films EVER. I love Tina Fey and this film has it all for me. It’s such a fast moving plot about a couple who take another couple’s table reservation in a swanky new restaurant, and the crazy stuff that happens to them after that! There’s a lot of action and humour, I can’t recommend it enough.
Clueless
Ladies, do I need to say anything about this one? It’s a loose adaptation of Jane Austen’s Emma and is just so pink and kitcsh that it’s ideal to watch on a summer evening. Tell me you didn’t lust after Alicia Silverstone’s wardrobe!
Erin Brockovich
This film is so uplifting, all about the power of one woman and a small company against a huge corporation and it is just KICK ASS. I can’t watch it without crying. If you want to be inspired, go for this one.
Mona Lisa Smile
Another Julia Roberts pick, this is about a girls school where the pupils have been raised to be wives and mothers and nothing else. That all changes when their new teacher arrives. It’s quite an emotional ride with some great acting, a brill one to watch with the girls this summer.
The Duchess
I am a big history geek and I could not write this list without featuring a full on period drama, with swoonworthy costumes and an emotional rollercoaster of a plot… Georgiana Spencer marries the Duke of Devonshire, but it is a loveless match and he moves his mistress into their home. It’s definitely one to watch with the girls and a box of tissues.
