Christmas gift shopping has put quite the dint in my bank account so the chances of heading out for midweek pints are awfully slim.

Luckily, one of the best coming-of-age movies is on TV tonight so we will all be pleasantly entertained.

The Edge of Seventeen starring Hailee Steinfeld and Woody Harrelson is on BBC Two tonight and you need to tune into the feel-good film.

Harrelson and Steinfeld make the most charming on-screen duo.

The movie follows Nadine as she struggles with high-school life. The teen has enough to deal with as she tackles unrequited love, dull classes and family heartache, but her world turns upside down when her best friend starts dating her older brother.

Nadine suddenly finds herself feeling more alone than ever before, especially after losing her dear father.

The teen forms an unexpected friendship with her teacher Erwin (Harrelson) who helps her realise life isn’t half as bad as she thinks.

This heartwarming and emotional teen movie is one of the best of our time, plus the soundtrack is an absolute dream. 80s pop, The 1975 and Birdy- what more could you ask for?

The Edge of Seventeen stars Hailee Steinfeld, Woody Harrelson, Haley Lu Richardson and Hayden Szeto.

You can watch it on BBC 2 at 11.15pm tonight.

It’s Netflix night. (OK, every night is Netflix night, but this is Netflix movie night) so it’s time to chill-out, chow-down and choose the perfect flick.

If you have managed to do all three of those things without an argument, an interruption or a complete emotional breakdown, then teach us your ways because the rest of us experience something a little more like this.

1. Saying sayonara to your diet, you ring the local takeaway and order every greasy thing on the menu.

We'll start again on Monday

2. Pulling off your skinny jeans (with a little help, if necessary) you scramble through your laundry for your biggest, baggiest sweats.

Bliss.

3. Diving onto the couch, you sprawl across your friend’s lap and pull your hood over your head.

Time to vegetate, people.

4. Clicking on Netflix, you begin casually browsing while chit-chatting about the impending food delivery.

Movie nights are so relaxing, right?

5. Pausing and reading the description of every second film is beginning to stress you out a little because it seems like present company has seen every single thing on the menu.

Em, why are you here exactly?

6. Opening your brown paper delivery bag, you see they’ve forgotten your prawn crackers…again.

I swear, they hate me.

7. OK, back to the matter at hand; the movie!

Uh, why can’t we just watch Bridesmaids again?

8. No, we are not watching something with subtitles.

Go home, jackass.

9. How have we finished our food and we still haven’t pressed play on a movie?

 It’s like they’ve written, directed and starred in every film and can’t bear to see themselves again.

10. For God's sake, what is wrong with watching a horror?

Sometimes I wonder why we’re friends.

11. I wonder if eyeballing wine is really as dangerous and disgusting as it sounds.

My film-hating friend hates me more than my prawn cracker-hating delivery man.

12. It’s now been ninety minutes and we’re still on the menu page.

Honestly, is this normal?

13. Oooh! OOOH! Something they haven’t seen, starred in or directed!

Ladies, we have a winner.

14. I suppose it is late, alright.

OK, grand, we’ll watch it next time so.

15. Screw this.

I’m going to bed.

Can't wait for next week's Netflix fest!

We can’t quite believe Love Island is over already. Everyone was delighted to see Jack and Dani crowned champions last night, but we can’t help but feel disappointed now that the show is over.

Today, marks the first day without Love Island in our lives since the beginning of June. If you’re missing Love Island already and don’t know how you’re going to fill that 9-10 pm gap in the evenings now that the reality series is over, try one of these feel good films or TV shows on Netflix to continue the long, hot summer of love.

Elle’s life is turned upside down when she realizes that she must ultimately make a choice: follow the rules or follow her heart.

The park will be transformed into an outdoor cinema for a special screening of the smash hit romcom Dirty Dancing tomorrow evening, Friday, July 27.

There's no better way to spend a Friday night than swooning over Patrick Swayze on the big screen.

The film follows the story of ‘Baby’ (Jennifer Grey) who finds herself on a sleepy summer holiday with her family. While there, she falls in love with the camp’s dance instructor Johnny (Patrick Swayze) whom her father forbids her to see. However, she is determined to help him perform the last big dance of the summer!

Sundays are all fun and games until reality hits and you have to get yourself organised for another week of work. The Sunday night fear is something we all experience, but fear not, we have the perfect solution that is bound to lift your spirits tonight.

If anything is going to bring a smile to yourself tonight it’s a musical. Sometimes all you need is to curl up on the sofa and watch Meryl Streep, Pierce Brosnan, Colin Firth and Amanda Seyfried sing and dance to ABBA’s greatest hits.

Forget about your 6am start and watch Donna and the Dynamos shimmy to Dancing Queen. Ignore the fact that you have a mountain of unwashed dishes in the sink and prance around your living room to Voulez Vous. Boost your ego by listening to Pierce Brosnan singing SOS (God loves a trier.)

RTÉ 1 are making our Sunday night a hell of a lot better by showing Mamma Mia at 9.30 pm tonight.

The movie is one of our all time favourites. We know it’s cheesy, but it’s the ultimate feel-good movie.

Mamma Mia is a musical/rom-com that will make your heart feel warm, leave your sides hurting from laughing and turn you into a blubbering mess all within the space of 109 minutes. 

It follows the story of Sophie (Amanda Seyfried) who has grown up not knowing who her father was, but as her wedding day approaches, she wants her dad to be there to give her away.

She takes matters into her own hands and invites her mum's (Meryl Streep) three former lovers- Harry (Colin Firth), Bill (Stellan Skarsgard) and Sam (Pierce Brosnan)- to the wedding. One of the three men is her father, and Sophie believes if she gets to know them she’ll find out who her dad is.

Mamma Mia is on RTÉ1 tonight at 9.30 pm.

Have the long-weekend festivities left you feeling drained already? Or are you aching after taking part in the Women’s Mini Marathon? If you’re in dire need of a lazy movie night then we’ve got good news for you. One of the best Irish movies is on TV tonight, so make sure you’re well stocked up on popcorn and wine.

This Irish drama is based on one of Maeve Binchy’s best books and is the perfect Sunday night movie.

TV3 are showing the brilliant Circle Of Friends at 10:05 pm tonight, and you just can’t miss it.

The drama is set in Dublin during the 1950s, where we meet Benny as she starts a new chapter of her life at university, along with her two friends- Nan and Eve.

The movie follows the girls as they try to adapt to their new lives in Dublin after growing up in the small Irish village Knockglen.

We see the trio grapple with their desire for love and their religious upbringings. Benny falls for Jack- the charming rugby player, but her friends aren’t as lucky.

Circle Of Friends stars Colin Firth, Minnie Driver, Saffron Burrows, Geraldine O'Rawe and Chris O'Donnell, with appearances from Aiden Gillen and Alan Cumming.

The heartwarming tale will certainly leave you feeling nostalgic (and no doubt, you'll be cringing at those awful Irish accents.)

Tune into Circle Of Friends on TV3 at 10:05 pm tonight.

Remember the days you’d pack up your pyjamas, your Dream Phone and the 90’s Irish equivalent of a Slam Book and head en masse to your friend’s house for a night of R&R, sex talk and movies?

The R&R ended because no one had the patience to ‘manicure’ more than two nails, the sex chat would stop because no one knew what the hell they were talking about, but the movies never failed us. Thank God.

So here ladies are five classic flicks for when sleeping in your own house was just not an option.

Never Been Kissed
Chances are the majority of pyjama clad girls in the living room hadn’t been either, so Drew managed to make all of us feel better about our glasses, braces and training bras. AAA cup, anyone?

If Josie Grossie managed to snag a hottie like him in the end, then there’s no stopping the rest of us, right?! Ah, the innocence of youth.

10 Things I Hate About You
Whether you were Team Bianca or Team Kat, fancied Cameron or lusted after Patrick there was definitely a little something for everyone in this 90’s classic.

We cringed alongside Kat when she read her poem aloud, we discovered a new-found respect for our parent’s music with Patrick's version of ‘Cant Take My Eyes Off You’ and we learned a little something about black underwear we never knew before. Thanks for the info, Bianca.

I Know What You Did Last Summer
No slumber party was complete without a pee-your-pants inducing horror flick. Scream was so passé by the time we hit we hit our stride and did some serious slumber party’ing (OK fine we couldn’t handle Ghostface, but no one needed to know that) so we went for the next best thing.

1997 slasher flick, I Know What You Did Last Summer packed a serious punch and having eye candy like Freddie Prinze Jnr and Ryan Phillipe as leads didn’t hurt either. Christ, what was that noise?

Stepmom
Much like a horror is a given at any sleepover, so too is any flick including Julia Roberts and bonus points if you cry like a baby behind a frilled, floral couch cushion. Yep, Stepmom had it all.
 

Julia, tears and snowblowing. Oh we know ALL about snowblowing now! High five!

Thirteen
Woah, woah, woah! Evan Rachel Wood’s portrayal of troubled 13-year-old Tracy Freeland in this 2002 drama made us feel thankful our lives were as vanilla as they were. We wanted to press the film into our parent’s hands, admit we bunked off PE and tell them to watch this before they went ballistic on us.

 

Jeez, we thought ditching afternoon classes to watch Loose Women was living dangerously.
