Shirley Valentine (1989)

Poster for Shirley Valentine

No one thought she had the courage, the nerve, or the lingerie.

Wondering what has happened to herself, now feeling stagnant and in a rut, Shirley Valentine finds herself regularly talking to the wall while preparing her husband's chips and egg. When her best friend wins a trip-for-two to Greece Shirley begins to see the world, and herself, in a different light.
