It all started with Leslie Knope on <em>Parks and Recreation<\/em>, and now for years, ladies have been celebrating Galentine&#8217;s Day on February 13.<\/p>\n<p>So in honor of the holiday, we rounded up 10 movies you can watch with your gal pals while sipping on wine and eating V-Day candies.

It\u2019s a movie all about friendship and a bond that&#8217;s strengthened by a pair of magical pants that travel amongst the girls throughout their summer apart.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<hr \/>\n<div style=\"text-align: center;\">\n<p><iframe src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/1K45RdE2qlk\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h3><em>Valentine\u2019s Day<\/em><\/h3>\n<p>OK, we know that the point of Galentine\u2019s Day is to leave behind the romantic drama and the craziness that can happen on February 14, but this movie really does have it all. <em>Valentine\u2019s Day<\/em>\u00a0may have storylines focused on love, but Jessica Biel\u2019s character throws a single&#8217;s party that&#8217;s worth the watch. Plus, you&#8217;ll see a lot of your favorite actors and actresses.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<hr \/>\n<div style=\"text-align: center;\">\n<p><iframe src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/iYPnUrREbRg\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h3><em>Romy and Michele\u2019s High School Reunion<\/em><\/h3>\n<p>The 1997 comedy <em>Romy and Michele\u2019s High School Reunion<\/em> is a must for any girl\u2019s night in. It stars Mira Sorvino and Lisa Kudrow as two best friends who didn\u2019t really have it made in high school. When they attend their high school reunion, things get wild and outlandish (who remembers the hilarious dance number?).<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<hr \/>\n<div style=\"text-align: center;\">\n<p><iframe src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/G59ivoXtmW4\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h3><em>Beaches<\/em><\/h3>\n<p>Where do we even start with this Oscar-nominated film? <em>Beaches<\/em> is a tale of two friends who meet at the beach and somehow make it through everything life throws at them in the years to come (together, of course). Bette Midler and Barbara Hershey are amazing in the movie and the soundtrack will bring you to tears every time.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<hr \/>\n<div style=\"text-align: center;\">\n<p><iframe src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/8dItOM6eYXY\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h3><em>Pitch Perfect<\/em><\/h3>\n<p>As one of the most recent films on this list, <em>Pitch Perfect<\/em>\u00a0is pretty much one of our top picks whenever we\u2019re with our squad. It manages to make acapella the coolest college activity of all time while making us fall in love with the Barden Bellas and their dysfunctional sisterhood with every song. Plus, there are now three <em>Pitch Perfect<\/em> films, so why not make a movie marathon out of it?<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<hr \/>\n<div style=\"text-align: center;\">\n<p><iframe src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/2iBFmKlO4BY\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h3><em>Thelma &amp; Louise<\/em><\/h3>\n<p>It\u2019s been more than 20 years since <em>Thelma &amp; Louise<\/em> first hit theaters (in 1991) and it\u2019s still one of the greatest friendship movies of all time. It\u2019s an Oscar-winning movie centered around two best friends &#8212; Susan Sarandon as Louise and Geena Davis as Thelma &#8212; as they set out on an adventure they\u2019ll never forget. Crimes are committed, fast driving occurs, and police chases ensue, and the whole time you\u2019ll wish you were along for the ride.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<hr \/>\n<div style=\"text-align: center;\">\n<p><iframe src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/RS0KyTZ3Ie4\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h3><em>Clueless<\/em><\/h3>\n<p>Ugh, as if this movie wouldn\u2019t be on our list! <em>Clueless<\/em> is a true girl power staple when it comes to movies. Sure, it follows the life of Cher Horowitz (played by Alicia Silverstone) who comes off as dumb and pretentious at first, but as the movie progresses, you realize that she is your all-American girl who loves her family and her friends. Plus, the fashion is on point.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<hr \/>\n<div style=\"text-align: center;\">\n<p><iframe src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/R7uixLkpjPs\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h3><em>Practical Magic<\/em><\/h3>\n<p>While <em>Practical Magic<\/em> is usually seen as a Halloween movie as it&#8217;s about two sister witches, we think otherwise. The Owen sisters struggle to live their lives as witches while trying to find love despite their family&#8217;s curse. With sisterhood at its core mixed with elements of love, it&#8217;s a must-watch when you&#8217;re with your besties.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<hr \/>\n<div style=\"text-align: center;\">\n<p><iframe src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/v2IGgZgWj0k\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h3><em>Steel Magnolias<\/em><\/h3>\n<p>The cast alone is reason enough to watch <em>Steel Magnolias<\/em>. It stars Sally Field, Dolly Parton, Shirley MacLaine, Daryl Hannah, Olympia Dukakis, and Julia Roberts, and those are just the main females in the cast. When a young beautician arrives in town and starts working at the local salon in Louisiana, the bond that forms between the women who work together is unlike any other. It\u2019s so fun and full of sass &#8212; you\u2019re bound to love it as much as we do.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<hr \/>\n<div style=\"text-align: center;\">\n<p><iframe src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/-Lj2U-cmyek\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h3><em>Sleepless in Seattle<\/em><\/h3>\n<p>Although <em>Sleepless in Seattle<\/em> is a true romance film, we had to throw in at least one rom-com to the list.
