Films, women, good vibes

[Mothersaandfilms]

Evening, good fine women of mumsnet.

Currently enjoying Queenpins on Netflix, which, whilst will likely not win awards, is ticking the box for a film which celebrates /champions women in a lighthearted manner. Any other recommendations? Doesn't necessarily have to be lighthearted, but certainly uplifting (in the end).

AIBU for the traffic...

YABU: Thurs has been a bad day
YANBU: Tomorrow is a new day

Bump bump bump, definitely not drinking wine and fancying a little chat/sharing of inspirational films or tv series...

Hidden figures

Posted to soon, inspirational film!

& The help

Hidden Figures is on Netflix. That's very upbeat. Lessons on Chemistry on Apple. Ted Lasso feels like a blokey show but actually is all about women supporting women.

Ha. Same post. Really enjoyed it

My old ass on Prime about woman coming of age story. It’s new. And funny and cute!

Thanks so much! Hidden Figures, My Old Ass, and The Help. I have access to all of those.

Unfortunately no Apple, so no Ted Lasso just now, but will bank that!

Firefly Lane?

Never heard of that one either. Will check it out. Thanks!

Just discovered Queenpins is based on a real story. Also, Vince Vaughan. Very easy on the eyes.

It's about a decades long female friendship. Really heartwarming and uplifting. Got me through a tough time recently!

Oh that sounds like a much-needed watch. Thank you for recommending. I will try to find it available somewhere.

I recently watched Tag, but that's about a male friendship group.

Also loving everyone's optimism that tomorrow is a new day... Yes.

Oldie but goodie - First Wives Club
Almost as old - Legally Blonde

Two films I actually have not seen despite knowing their titles. Thanks.

I have two weeks spare and six weeks of sheetness to try to repair.

Female solidarity/empowerment recommended. Thank you ladies.

The Queen's Gambit.

If you like Queenpins, try Good Girls on Netflix.

Highly recommend this Queenpins film as a very lightweight watch about female friendship and criminal activity. Very easy watch.

I really enjoyed queenpins. Hidden figures is another favourite. A man called Otto is quite dark but it has a beautiful story running through it..... just get your tissues ready x

Whip it - roller Derby with drew barrymore

Fried green tomatoes at the whistle-stop café

Oh the Otto film sounds perfect. Thank you

Thanks for all the recommendations, will work through. About to go to bed, shattered, but yes please to any further recommendations. Thank you.

If Nyad is still streaming, I loved it. Think it's on Netflix. It's important that they're women, but it's also unimportant.

@Mothersaandfilms a man called Otto is really lovely. Made me cry though....and my 16 year old son!! But it has such a lovely story. Hope you find something good to watch. 💐🙏🫂❤️
