Is there anything better than getting together with your pals and watching a movie starring kick-ass women who make you laugh until you cry? We think not, which is why we think you should take this list of hysterical lady movies into account the next time you plan a girls’ night in.
Universal Pictures
1/40
Bridesmaids
You haven’t lived until you’ve seen Melissa McCarthy, um, in the sink of a fancy bridal shop bathroom.
Columbia Pictures
New World Pictures
3/40
Heathers
1988. Cult black comedy. Winona Ryder and Christian Slater. Any questions?
MGM
Warner Bros.
5/40
Private Benjamin
A wealthy, sheltered young woman joins the army after her husband dies on their wedding night. What could go wrong?
MGM
6/40
Overboard
Double the Goldie, double the laughs. (This time with her longtime love Kurt Russell!)
Roadside Attractions
7/40
In a World...
Lake Bell wrote, co-produced, directed and stars in this funny flick. Talk about girl power.
Columbia Pictures
8/40
A League of Their Own
There’s no crying in baseball, but there are tears of joy streaming down our face every time we watch this.
IFC films
9/40
Frances Ha
Raise your hand if you navigated your 20s like a chicken with its head cut off. (Us, too.) You’ll love this one.
Universal Pictures
10/40
Trainwreck
He’s not a lady, but Lebron James’s role in Amy Schumer’s hilarious debut is worth its weight in gold.
Warner Bros.
11/40
Miss Congeniality
Sandra Bullock plays a badass in heels (and a dirndl). We’re obsessed.
20th Century Fox
12/40
The Heat
Two questions: Why is Sandra Bullock so good at playing an FBI agent and why is Melissa McCarthy not in every comedy ever made?
Paramount Pictures
20th Century Fox
14/40
There’s Something About Mary
There’s something about a group of guys vying for the affection of one woman (complete with hilariously infantile jokes) that makes us want to watch this movie any time it comes on TV.
Touchstone Pictures
15/40
Sister Act
Singing nuns (led by the inimitable Whoopi Goldberg pretending to be a nun) will never get old.
A24
16/40
Obvious Child
Jenny Slate’s 2014 film is equal parts touching, funny and real.
Screen Gems
Columbia Pictures
18/40
Ghostbusters
Don’t get us wrong: We loved the original, but the original didn’t have Leslie Jones and Kate McKinnon.
20th Century Fox
Universal Pictures
Universal Pictures
Dreamworks
22/40
She's the Man
Like its equally hilarious '80s precursor Just One of the Guys, this flick starring Amanda Bynes is based on Shakespeare's Twelfth Night. But no sonnets, we promise.
Universal Pictures
23/40
Death Becomes Her
Meryl Streep and Goldie Hawn drink a magical potion (given to them by Isabella Rossellini). Expectedly sidesplitting hijinks ensue.
Paramount Pictures
20th Century Fox
25/40
How to Marry a Millionaire
We’re just going to say it: Monroe, Grable and Bacall were the original squad goals.
20th Century Fox
Columbia Pictures
27/40
Born Yesterday
Sixty-seven years later, this movie— about a brassy young woman and her older, wealthy boyfriend who travel to Washington, D.C., to swindle the government—totally holds up.
20th Century Fox
28/40
9 to 5
Try to watch this movie and not sing the title song every time you walk into work.
MGM
29/40
Ninotchka
Greta Garbo’s first comedy was this terrific satire about the Soviet Union under Stalin that makes you wish she laughed more in her other films.
MGM
Touchstone Pictures
31/40
Romy and Michele’s High School Reunion
Two besties invent fake careers to make themselves look better at a reunion (in a move that we have 100 percent thought about copying).
Beacon Pictures
32/40
Bring It On
The Rancho Carne Toros and East Compton Clovers go head-to-head in this high school cheerleading movie that is far superior to its four direct-to-video sequels.
Paramount Pictures
33/40
The First Wives Club
This classic revenge comedy is slapstick and silly and features some of the funniest ladies, like, ever.
MTV Films
20th Century Fox
35/40
Gentlemen Prefer Blondes
Marilyn Monroe’s Lorelei Lee gets most of the attention (the “Diamonds Are a Girl's Best Friend” scene didn’t hurt), but we’re all about Jane Russell’s Dorothy Shaw.
RKO Radio Pictures
36/40
Stage Door
A group of wannabe actresses (including Katharine Hepburn, Ginger Rogers and Lucille Ball) live together in an NYC boarding house in this 1937 movie that’s, well, wonderful.
Columbia Pictures
Orion Pictures
38/40
Desperately Seeking Susan
Come (and stay) for Madonna’s next-level wardrobe.
Paramount Pictures
39/40
How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days
Yep, Kate Hudson’s Andie Anderson is kind of annoying, and yep, the plot is pretty predictable, but that’s never stopped us from swooning over that yellow dress.
