1.) Reds. Even though it's the story of John Reed, it is also the story of Louise Bryant and Diane Keaton is a perfect foil for Warren Beatty. Lots of tough broads in the film including Maureen Stapleton as Emma Goldman.

2) Frida, for obvious reasons. Love her, loved the movie. If you love art history, you will groove on all of the other artists like Tina Modatti and David Siquieros who are referenced.

3.) The Snapper. A young Irish girl gets herself "up the pole" and refuses to name the father, to the great scandal of the neighborhood busybodies. It's the second installment in Roddy Boyle's "Barrytown" trilogy. It's classic and all of the women are screamingly funny in it.

4.) Little Women, 1994

Kind of self-explanatory, but I love Jo March.

Geeze, I made myself cry watching that again!

5.) I'm having a hard time picking a fifth one, so I will reserve until inspiration strikes.
