The Devil Wears Prada
Director: David Frankel

Genre: Comedy, Drama
Release: 2006
Anne Hathaway stars in The Devil Wears Prada as Andy Sachs, an aspiring (but severely unfashionable) journalist who somehow ends up working at the elite Runway magazine as an assistant to the demanding editor-in-chief, Miranda Priestly. Meryl Streep plays Miranda in this sharp, witty take on ambition and workplace culture, and was ultimately (and rightfully) nominated for an Oscar for her performance.

Starring: Bruce Willis, Alan Rickman
Genre: Action, Thriller

Father of the Bride
Director: Charles Shyer
Starring: Steve Martin, Diane Keaton, Martin Short
Genre: Comedy, Family, Romance
Release: 1991
Before Steve Martin and Martin Short starred in Only Murders in the Building, they starred in Father of the Bride. Steve plays a doting father coming to terms with his daughter’s wedding while Martin plays the eccentric (and hilarious) wedding planner. If you’re looking for a heartwarming comedy about family, love, and the bittersweetness of change, Father of the Bride is definitely that and more.

Night at the Museum
Director: Shawn Levy
Starring: Ben Stiller, Dick Van Dyke, Robin Williams
Genre: Adventure, Comedy, Family
Release: 2006
The premise sounds a little wacky: a museum where the exhibits come to life at night. But ultimately, Night at the Museum is a fun, family-friendly adventure packed with lively historical figures played by stellar actors like Robin Williams, Rami Malek and Owen Wilson.

The Parent Trap
Director: Nancy Meyers
Starring: Lindsay Lohan, Dennis Quaid, Natasha Richardson
Genre: Comedy, Romance, Drama
Release: 1998
In this remake of the 1961 film The Parent Trap, Lindsay Lohan stars as identical twins who meet at summer camp and switch places in an attempt to reunite their divorced parents. Personally, I think this is better than the original; it’s a charming family film filled with both humorous and heartwarming moments.

Pretty Woman
Director: Garry Marshall
Starring: Julia Roberts, Richard Gere
Genre: Comedy, Romance
Release: 1990
It’s an absolute classic for a reason. Julia Roberts stars in Pretty Woman as a spirited sex worker who enters a transformative relationship with a wealthy businessman, played by Richard Gere. If you haven’t seen this film before, that’s a big mistake. Huge.

Tangled
Director: Nathan Greno & Byron Howard
Starring: Mandy Moore, Zachary Levi, Donna Murphy
Genre: Animation, Family, Adventure
Release: 2010
For whatever reason, Frozen became the most popular Disney film released in the 2010s. I’ll never understand it though as while Frozen is good, Tangled is infinitely better – at least, in my opinion. The film is a retelling of the classic Rapunzel tale and is filled with adventure, humour, and catchy songs; everything a good animated Disney film should have. If you’ve got kids or grandkids and you’re sick of hearing Let It Go for the thousandth time, give Tangled a chance…

Starring: Kate Winslet, Leonardo DiCaprio, Kathy Bates, Billy Zane
Genre: Period Drama, Romance
Release: 1997
Kate Winslet and Leonardo DiCaprio star in this epic romance aboard the ill-fated RMS Titanic. Helmed by James Cameron, the film won 11 Oscars, including Best Picture – making it a must-watch (or rewatch).
