Recommendations for a ladies movie night

[Bowbridge]

My WI has a monthly movie night that I host bi-monthly. It is usually 8 ladies aged 45-70. We are looking for recommendations. So far we have seen:

What we did on our holiday (this was a big hit)
Lion
The Guernsey Literary and potato peel pie society
Parasite
Three Billboards
The Upside (another big hit)
Fisherman's friends
A Man called Otto
Wonder
Saving Grace (dull)
Thirteen Lives
Skin
Hidden Figures

Thinking of 'The Book Thief' next as it is one of my favourite films. Others have asked for a comedy or a rom com. Any recommendations?

Calendar Girls ( esp as it's about a WI group) .
Magic Mike
In Her Shoes
The Woman in the Van

Roman Holiday

The Lady in the Van , not woman. Sorry

A Room with a View
Fried Green Tomatoes at the Whistlestop Cafe
Where the Crawdad Sings (read book but not seen film yet)
Beaches
Steel Magnolias
Gravity

And many many more

The Banshees of Inisherin
To Walk Invisible or Emily - same subject very different films
Children of Men

The Peanut Butter Falcon (think this is currently on iplayer)

Working Girl
Eddie the Eagle

This sounds perfect. Thank you!

Julie and Julia

Keep the suggestions coming as I will make note.

I love The lady in the Van, Calendar Girls, Eddy the Eagle, Beaches etc. Most will have seen these.
Parasite was a revelation to them and well out of their comfort zone. A couple did not like Thirteen Lives "too depressing" (but it ends happily!!)

Promising Young Woman
Little Women (recent version or the 90s one!)
Practical Magic
Pitch perfect

I liked The Lost City with Sandra Bullock if you want a romcom

Good shout! I have never seen it, but sounds perfect.

Find it hard to recommend things based on age and gender...

What genres do you all like?

Do you like French films ?
C’est La Vie
Or there was that film with Omar Sy… I will need to look it up

Untouchable, Omar Sy

We Bought a Zoo
Wild

Letters to Juliet is a really nice film

Vers Le Sud (Heading South). Sex tourism (women) in 1970s Haiti. Stars Charlotte Rampling. Maybe a bit heavy. But thought provoking; and beautifully shot, if nothing else.

Crazy rich Asians

Was going to recommend The Intouchables but I see that Upside was the American version!

‘Spy’ and ‘The Heat’ are two films that really centre women and are feel-good and hilarious. I would recommend Bridesmaids but I know it’s too crass for some.

If you like rom com's I would suggest while you were sleeping with Sandra Bullock and Bill Pullman - it's an oldie but a goodie

Yes to Peanut Butter Falcon - it's lovely
Pride - if they're not prudes/homophobic

I hope you enjoy it, I think it’s a real gem!

Another one is Priceless, a French film which is utterly charming x

How about Women Talking? If you read a synopsis it'll sound very dark but though it's a really tough subject, it's handled beautifully. Definitely one to provoke thought and conversation.

I Tonya (the Tonya Harding story starring Margot Robbie)
Cruella
