6 Comedies Featuring Awesome Female Relationships To Watch On Netflix

It's never easy deciding what to watch. With a plethora of films available on even a single streaming service and new movies being added every month, even the most dedicated cinephiles among us have difficulty making a choice, never mind making it a good one. To assist our readers with choosing an awesome film, each week I’ll bring you six high-class selections available on Netflix Watch Instant to indulge your insatiable need for streaming options. Last week we brought you some period dramas, this week we're looking at some comedies with awesome female relationships. Bromances are a subgenre unto themselves, but what about films that show equally loving friendships between women?

If 9 to 5 has female bonding take on the corporate culture, Desk Set reminds us of how much fun office friendships can be.

Kate Hepburn is Bunny Watson, the head of the reference department at a media outlet, where she and her gang of three women field questions about everything from the names of Santa’s reindeer to the airspeed velocity of an unladen swallow.

When Richard Sumner (Spencer Tracy) appears, the women think they are due to be replaced by a computer that he designed, so they go on an epic tear to prove just how essential their expertise truly is.

There’s so much fun to be had in Desk Set that it’s almost impossible to distill it down to two paragraphs. Best of the bunch, though, is the hilarious and extended Christmas party where Hepburn’s Bunny and Joan Blondell’s Peg get drunk on champagne and giggle their way through a very realistic binge.

As a celebration of smart, funny women, it doesn’t get much better than this.
