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.

Killing eve

Series 1 of Fargo

GLOW on Netflix is great and fun. women finding their own way in the misogynistic world of the 80s

Money Heist - It’s a Spanish language series on Netflix, cheesy fun heist but some really great kick ass women in it.

I loved the live action Mulan -
on that note House of Flying Daggers, crouching tiger hidden dragon

the woman king

ozark - takes a while but Wendy becomes formidable (and scary)

Mollys game with Jessica chastain

everything everywhere all at once

Viola Davis in anything

Lou
Enough
Double jeopardy
Black crab
Close
Tracks

Unbelievable with Merritt Wever (from Nurse Jackie) & Toni Collette

and How to get away with Murder, Viola Davis

Unsure if it’s been mentioned already but Tarantino’s Jackie Brown. Absolutely love that film.

Eat Pray Love....Fried Green Tomatoes...Thelma and Louise (You Get What You Settle For has been my motto for the last few years 👌)

Jolt with Kate Beckinsale, particularly if you have PMT..

I enjoyed Wonder Woman with Gal Gadot, also the Girl with the Dragon Tattoo with Rooney Mara (but that may be a bit dark).

Agree Three Billboards is a great film too

Kick-Ass? 😀 Chloe Grace Moretz might not be the star but she steals the show.

Loved The Queen's Gambit, another vote for that.

On prime, run sweetheart run. Brilliant film.

It’s on Now movies - Now TV has an offer for 7 days free movies and Boost (no ads) when you take a month’s tv subscription at £6.99. Good thing with Now is that you can cancel any time.

The more recent one with Kristen Stewart is even better.

Wonder Woman (the first one not the sequel)
Ava, with Jessica Chastain,
Anything with Gina Carano in it
Anna, with Helen Mirren in it
Sense8 has a female martial arts character in it
Unlocked

Also: Marisa Tomei is pretty fab in My Cousin Vinnie

African Queen - Katherine Hepburn

Now Voyager - Bette Davis

Yes! Tarantino's best film and Pam Grier is so good.
Some great suggestions here. I'll second Joan Hickson as Miss Marple.

Buggy the Vampire Killer 🙂

Aliens (the sequel) even more.

Warrior Nun on Netflix (big fun)

The Americans on channel 4 (morally complex).

Buffy the Vampire Slayer (not the film)

And, of course, Kick-Ass and Kick-Ass 2.

Made in Dagenham true story about women fighting for equal pay.

9 - 5

Working Girl

Proxima with Eva Green

And YES to Marisa Tomei in My Cousin Vinny. One of the best films ever!

LOVE this film and she's amazing.

I've just watched Lessons in Chemistry and absolutely loved it. Loved the story the characters, gorgeous dog and such a beautiful looking time fashion wise.

The Joy Luck Club

P.S. I Love You

So many brilliant suggestions already on here - adding my vote for "9-5", "Spy" and "Wednesday". If you fancy a detective series I really enjoyed "Mrs Sidhu Investigates" on UKTV/Drama I think (free) where the main character is a middle aged caterer who discovers a knack for solving mysteries.

Also "Waitress" which I think is severely underrated. It's more sweet than a lot of the other films on here but it's very satisfying.
