Game of Thrones – uh hello!
The Carrie Diaries – it’s pre Sex and the City, before SATC was even SATC. Need we say more? Well we’re going to… AnnaSophia Robb plays Carrie Bradshaw and she’s simply amazing and Austin Butler plays the love interest. He’s a babe. Watch it for him if nothing else.

Something Borrowed – can’t beat a Kate Hudson chick-flick.
Into the Blue – we always thought Paul Walker and Jessica Alba would make a super cool couple.
New Year’s Eve – one of those movies that haseveryonein them and all the storylines weave together to make sense in the end. Love.
Valentine’s Day – as above.
The Sisterhood of the Travelling Pants 1 & 2 – these stories set the benchmark for friendships.
The Notebook – we’d sign up just for this alone.
P.S. I Love You – chick flick.
