To celebrate an occasion that’s dedicated to female friendship and empowerment, we’ve compiled a list of movies and series with those exact themes. 

Being a woman is a complicated and often exhausting existence, but on the worst of days, it’s the best of friends — both IRL and onscreen — who are there to pull us through. So gather your support squad, make the friendship bracelets, bake some heart-shaped cookies, and fall in love with these titles that are perfect for Galentine’s Day.

Dead to Me

If you feel confident you could call your friends to help bury a body, then this dark comedy is for you. Jen (Christina Applegate), a Laguna Beach real estate agent, is grieving the recent death of her husband in a hit-and-run. She meets Judy (Linda Cardellini) at a grief support group. Jen is angry and cynical, Judy is sad but optimistic. They make an odd pair, but they bond over their insomnia and shared sense of humor. As Jen starts to look deeper into her husband’s death, she uncovers secrets that tie back to her new friend — secrets that will test more than just their friendship.

Derry Girls

Exactly how much mischief can five Northern Irish teens at a Catholic girls’ school in ’90s Derry land themselves in? If you’re Erin Quinn (Saoirse-Monica Jackson), her cousin Orla (Louisa Harland), or their friends Clare (Nicola Coughlan), Michelle (Jamie-Lee O'Donnell), and James (Dylan Llewellyn), it’s quite a lot. Expect a laugh a minute in this charming sitcom as the aforementioned entourage balances school, home life, and all things teenager during the Troubles, a time of political and cultural unrest in the country. 

Emily in Paris

Statement fashion, mouthwatering pastries, and um, Paris!? There’s so much to be excited about in this rom-com series, including the ride-or-die bond between our titular Emily (Lily Collins) — a social media strategy savant who relocates to France for work — and Mindy (Ashley Park), an heiress–slash–aspiring singer who is Emily’s best friend in the City of Light. Even when things get messy with Emily’s paramours (plural), Mindy is the one relationship that stays très bien.

Gilmore Girls

Girls5eva

Anyone old enough to remember passing notes to girlfriends signed with “LYLAS” — love you like a sister, IYKYK — will appreciate this series. In it, a millennial girl group reunites after years apart when a famous rapper samples one of Girls5Eva’s hit songs. Now Dawn (Sara Bareilles), Summer (Busy Philipps), Gloria (Paula Pell), and Wickie (Renée Elise Goldsberry) will have to get to know each other as adults and discover if they have what it takes to get the band back together and make it in the modern music business.

Grace and Frankie

From frenemies to besties — that’s the journey of retired cosmetics mogul Grace (Jane Fonda) and hippie artist Frankie (Lily Tomlin). When their husbands (Sam Waterston and Martin Sheen) announce that they’ve fallen in love with each other and are leaving their wives, Grace and Frankie — who’ve never exactly been pals — also end up  cohabitating. But these unlikely roommates have got to figure out how to make it work — for everyone’s sake. Equal parts heartwarming and hilarious, Fonda and Tomlin’s roller-coaster relationship is a comedy master class.

Never Have I Ever

There’s something extra special about the friends you have as a teenager. And that’s extra obvious in the case of Devi (Maitreyi Ramakrishnan), Fabiola (Lee Rodriguez), and Eleanor (Ramona Young). At the start of sophomore year, each girl has big plans to change her life. Devi wants to be popular, Fabiola wrestles with coming out as a lesbian, and Eleanor attempts to repair a relationship with her estranged mother. Honest, self-aware, and delightfully awkward, this coming-of-age comedy is critically acclaimed for a reason. 

Someone Great

One of the ultimate friendship tests? Getting your girl through a breakup — especially one of the long-term, true-love variety. Thankfully, Jenny (Gina Rodriguez) has buddies in Blair (Brittany Snow) and Erin (DeWanda Wise) who are up to the task. After Jenny’s split with her boyfriend (LaKeith Stanfield) of nine years, the ladies commit to one last epic night together in New York. Can Jenny move on from her heartbreak before she moves across the country? 

Sweet Magnolias

Best friends since childhood, Maddie (JoAnna Garcia Swisher), Helen (Heather Headley), and Dana Sue (Brooke Elliott) call themselves the Sweet Magnolias. The trio has stayed close while growing up, falling in (and out of) love, pursuing careers, and raising families in the fictional small town of Serenity, South Carolina: Whatever life throws at one of them, it throws at all of them. Based on the novel series of the same name by Sherryl Woods, this cozy drama proves you should never underestimate the power of girl talk and strong margaritas. 

Wine Country

What if some of the funniest comedians in the game decided to star in a film about a girls’ trip to idyllic Napa Valley? The result, naturally, is Wine Country. Amy Poehler, Rachel Dratch, Ana Gasteyer, Maya Rudolph, Paula Pell, Emily Spivey, and Tina Fey come together with a chemistry that’s unmatched, thanks in part the longtime IRL friendships that exist between the actors. There’s sweetness, silliness, and hey, lots of wine. What’s not to like?
