7 Jennifer Aniston Movies We’re Planning To Watch Back-to-Back This Weekend

(And probably press repeat next weekend.)

It’s hardly a surprise that our screen time is up in a big way of late but as we’re staring down four days of, erm, holidays chances are it's set to climb higher still. While you can’t spend your holiday break with your loved ones, you can spend them with the next (or possibly, first?) best thing – Jennifer Aniston.

While Aniston won our hearts as Rachel Green in FRIENDS (FYR, that’s 10 whole series, or a little under 90 hours of viewing), it’s her movies that we want to curate our very own film festival this long weekend.

Here’s our pick of the ones you can watch again and again and again (if you haven’t already).

Office Space
“You know what, Stan, if you want me to wear 37 pieces of flair, like your pretty boy over there, Brian, why don't you just make the minimum 37 pieces of flair?”

For anyone still working in these weird times, this film is a must.

And, for anyone not working: it's also a must. The story of the daily battle with whatever your job description demands of you, be that flair or otherwise, it's sure to make you LOL.

The Break-up
Aniston’s anti rom com is the perfect viewing for anyone who has been spending way too much time in a way smaller space with their significant other. Also will leave you weirdly wanting a lemon centrepiece for your dining room table.

The Object Of My Affection
Prepare for heartbreak: this 1998 movie throws her in the mix with Paul Rudd (still very fresh in our mind from Clueless) as a pregnant NYC social worker who is slowly but surely falling in love with her gay BFF. It makes you realise maybe there is no happily ever after … or is there?

Friends With Money
You know that feeling when you realise that you might have missed something? That you’re not quite on the same wavelength as those around you? And that you don’t really care all that much? This film, then, is your vibe.

Here, Aniston finds herself cash-strapped and single-ish and in a world full of – to borrow Bridget Jones’s phrase – well-off smug marrieds. She ditched her job as a teacher, is working as a cleaner while she figures stuff out and cruises beauty counters for luxury samples of face moisteriser. Perhaps one of the greatest scenes in cinematic history is when Aniston’s character finds a full size jar of the moisturiser at a client’s house. Who knew your feet needed that much moisturiser?

Picture Perfect
“OK, just give me the damn thing.”

Aniston – an ad exec – is the only person to step forward as the call comes at a wedding for all the single ladies to prepare for the tossing of the bouquet. Sick of not getting what’s coming to her, she takes fate into her own hands. Aniston plays an ad exec who hires Joy Mohr as her faux fiance so she can secure promotion at work (because, apparently, that’s how you got them back then?). After watching this, our money’s on the T-shirt / slip address combo as your new iso looks. ‘97 at its best.

Along Came Polly
You know those friends who push you so far outside your comfort zone, you’re not even sure how to find your way home? That’s Aniston’s Polly Prince. The free spirit you either always wanted to be / dreaded crossing paths with.

PSA: there’s a scene with a loofah you won’t forget in a hurry isn’t one you’ll forget in a while.

Bounty Hunter
Cheesy, sure. A good time, definitely. The synopsis is fairly straightforward: "A bounty hunter learns that his next target is his ex-wife, a reporter working on a murder cover-up. Soon after their reunion, the always-at-odds duo finds themselves on a run-for-their-lives adventure." A must-watch for anyone currently doing iso with an ex (... Is that actually any of you?)
