11 Movies Every Woman Should Watch

Top 11 movies recommended by Glamour editors.

1. Mean Girls 


“Never has there been a more realistic portrayal of high school; it’s worth watching for the cafeteria seating chart alone. And let’s face it: If you haven’t seen this movie, you’re missing out on an entire genre of catchphrases (Is butter a carb?), gifs, and memes.” —Lindsey Unterberger, deputy online editor.

2. About Last Night 


“Because it’s just the most realistic movie about a breakup.” —Alison Ward Frank, deputy editor, entertainment.

3. Annie Hall 


“Hilarious, romantic, real, surreal. And it came out in 1977 and gives such a specific glimpse of that time period—the clothes, the cultural scene, dingy, dangerous New York City. Plus, Diane Keaton as Annie, the Midwestern girl who finds herself, gives one of the most iconic performances, well, ever. Every woman should see it at least once, but once you do, you’ll want to watch it every Sunday for the rest of your life.”  —Emma Rosenblum, senior editor

4. The Diary of Anne Frank


“It is so important, not just for the history but for the person who Anne Frank was. What a soulful, spirited, and positive young girl, even in the face of such horror and destruction. A lesson for all of us to always keep the faith and no matter what happens in life, strive to make an impact.”  —Jessica Radloff, Glamour.com Obsessed blogger.

5. Breakfast at Tiffany’s 


“It’s quintessential Audrey Hepburn. She’s classy and witty, even when she’s playing a call girl.” —Lindy Segal, online editorial assistant.

6.  Now and Then 


“It captures the importance of life-long best friends.”  —Caitlin Brody, entertainment assistant.

7.  Funny Girl 


“I think Fanny Brice is so inspiring. She’s the perfect mix of career girl and sparkle.” —Megan Angelo, Glamour.com Obsessed blogger.

8.  Bridesmaids 


“In a world of bro-comedies, it’s inspiring to see women like Kristen Wiig create a film that’s funny as hell and defies the chick-flick stereotype.” —Anna Moeslein, online assistant editor.

9. Girls Just Want to Have Fun 


“It’s my favorite movie of all-time because: (1) It’s a true BFF love story; (2) Sarah Jessica Parker + Helen Hunt + Shannen Doherty [the early years] = Total Amazingness; and (3) the music and the clothes are epic.” —Jen Weinberg, West Coast special projects editor.

10. Almost Famous 


“The movie inspires you to follow your passions, no matter how old you are.” —Lauren Brown, Glamour.com Obsessed blogger.

11. The Way We Were 


“Nothing is better than seeing gorgeous Robert Redford in uniform, repeatedly. They just don’t make actors like that anymore! The romance between Redford and Barbara Streisand is so wrong, it’s so right.” —Rebecca Sinn, entertainment editor.
