Five Films That Celebrate Midlife Friendship.

In researching this mini-feature, every search brought up “Midlife Crisis Films”—not at all what we were looking for. While there are crises within all of these films, phenomenal friendships are at the forefront.

Thelma and Louise, 1991 (Amazon Prime)

Susan Sarandon was forty-four—and Geena Davis the thirty-four-year-old youngster—when she landed the role as smart, streetwise Louise with an all-important secret. The ultimate friendship, road trip movie.

Girls Trip, 2017 (Amazon Prime)

This celebration of four old friends heading to New Orleans is just pure fun.

First Wives Club, 1996 (Amazon Prime)

Stop for one second to think of how revolutionary this story of three women over 50 who plot to overthrow their loser partners was when it was released in 1996. A fun story with three of the most remarkable actors of our time.

Steel Magnolias, 1989 (Netflix)
