Chick flicks

[950483]

Let's redefine 'chick flicks'. I hate cheesy romantic comedies and would only watch one if I was stuck in a chair and couldn't physically move to avoid it, and then I would probably be sick on myself.

Please post about inspiring, empowering, life affirming or just interesting womany films and things you have watched because I need to make sure I have seen them all.

I find the movie Freeway entertaining as fuck.

Reese Witherspoon before she was legally blonde...

Not really empowering, but it's no chick flick, and I just love it.

Hard Candy

Ellen Page bringing retribution with a baby face

Freeway was awesome. Another vote for underage hookers.

Death Proof kicked all types of ass.

Gonna throw Ginger Snaps and sequels to the list.

Hidden Figures was just fantastic

I'm actually a bit of a sci fi and fantasy freak when it comes to movies, I like things like Alien, Marvel stuff, Star Wars, Avitar. I also like horror, stuff like The Ring, Anabelle, The Boy, Jeepers Creepers, that sorta thing but not Zombie films, I don't get those.

Zoe Bell is bad-the-fuck-ass.

. . . I like things like Alien . . .

I haven't seen the others on your list, but I'd say that Sigourney Weaver in "Alien" met swoon's requirement for ". . . inspiring, empowering, life affirming or just interesting womany films . . ."

How about Lillian Gish in "Night of the Hunter"?

If you like Vampire movies , " We are the Night " was quite entertaining . Plenty of women " kicking ass " . Loved the character called Norah ( Anna Fischer ), innocently hot . Saw a western titled " Jane's got a Gun ." , with Natalie Portman , she definitely " gets it on " . Both these films are worth a look , in my view .

Haven't seen that one hunni, I'll look it up sometime

Here you go .If this ain't female empowerment , I don't know what is . The very talented Katherine Winnick , in the tv series " Vikings " . Mess with this lady at your peril .

Hard Candy is an underrated classic!

Husband and I had the discussion once that Terminator 2 was a "tough-chick" flick. I kind of agreed, but it's not something I'd watch by myself.

Sarah Conner is also bad-the-fuck-ass.

Tis a lonely evening at home classic for me.

I watch a lot of horror and crime...so my vote for a great, empowered non-traditional chick flick would be The Silence of the Lambs. Hello, Clarice.

Mad Max Fury Road. One of my all time favourite movies. Basically anything with Charlize
