To shamelessly ask for films to watch with kick ass women in

[Slightlyboredandseverlyconfused]

Just that really. IKIABU for misusing the AIBU area but I know there is a lot of traffic here and some kick ass women on here regularly who might know some great kick ass women films.

Context is I’m peri and totally rethinking how I want the last chapters of my life to look. I have been enjoying films and series with women front and centre - doing their thing regardless.

Also if you have Netflix you could try Extraordinary Attorney Woo - the story of an autist Korean lawyer - not exactly kick ass but still impressive

Barbie?

Oh wow. I wasn’t expecting many responses. This is great.

I just rewatched Erin Brocovitch which made me post.

Hidden Figures I loved as well.

That’s a great list. Thank you. Just what I need.

The Accussed - Jodie Foster and Kelly McGillis
Panic Room - Jodie Foster

I think Joan Hickson in MIss Marple is right up there

I enjoyed Prey, the newest predator film, and I always recommend Whip it, also Oceans Eight

Not a film, but Star Trek Voyager. Kick Ass female Captain.

I like the queens gambit for women breaking the glass ceiling kind of kick ass.

I really loved Good Luck to you, Leo Grand.
Really powerful film. Emma Thompson is brilliant in it.

Killing Eve!

I second this although it's a bit Kenheavy 😃

Wild with Reese Witherspoon.

Orange Osage County

Zero Dark Thirty

I thought The Woman King with Viola Davis was fantastic but I'm not sure where to watch it.

Fried Green Tomatoes At the Whistle Stop Cafe.

1670 on Netflix. It's a short series of half hour episodes about a family in Poland. All the characters are ridiculous, but the daughter and mother are excellently kick arse dealing with the stupid men in their lives

Is there another ghostbusters? The original films from the eighties were ok. The remake with the main characters as women was poor, not down to then just seemed to pale against the memory of the original.

there was 1 earlier this year with Paul Rudd which I've not seen.

If not already on the list I'd add 'Lucy'. If you don't mind black and white 'Carve Her Name With Pride'.

First Wives Club, with Goldie Hawn, Diane Keaton and Bette Midler, and a young Sarah Jessica Parker in an early role.

Everything Everywhere All At Once - I mean there's the surreal save-the-multiverse martial arts stuff, but it's also about a knackered, broke working mum dealing with demanding old folks, stroppy teen, and ineffectual husband

Peppermint (with Jennifer Garner)

this rattled my brain I had to have a lie down afterwards!

I thought Spy was pretty funny, and has a great middle aged heroine.
I’m presuming you don’t want superheros but if you don’t mind, the Black Panther sequel, Wakanda Forever, is full of strong women.

The Last Seduction

Definitely Killing Eve ticks the kick ass box. Jodie Corner is brilliant in it.

Love Mad Max Fury Road too.
