We all love going out on the weekends and embracing our youth, but sometimes, we need to take a step back. That’s when you grab your girls and have a movie night. Who wants to spend money on movies though? Netflix is for more than just binge watching Gossip Girl and your other fave TV shows. It can be tedious to sift through the seemingly uninteresting movies. So here you go: the best Netflix flicks for a girls night in. Get out your popcorn, candy, and or whip up some homemade treats cause it’s gonna be a long night.
1. Clueless
This is a 90’s classic. Just the fashion is enough to reel you into this movie, with Cher’s magical electronic closet and plaid patterned everything. Watch in awe as the resident beauty queen transforms the new girl into the cool girl and learns a ton about herself in the process.

Veronica must decide whether to go along with the killings or expose her new man.

5. Can’t Buy Me Love
Another throwback film, because the 80’s was the best era for movies, Can’t Buy Me Love shows the plight of a lowly teenage nerd to find a new life for himself. When the most beautiful girl in school is in desperate need of some extra cash, he pounces on an opportunity… as her new (fake) boyfriend
