What feminist films have been produced in the last ten years?

[mcb123]

erin brockervich is sort of a feminist film

[Frankie Babe]

what exactly do you mean by feminist? do you mean films showing strong women characters or do you mean films about so called feminist issues? (whatever they are?) Does the Alien series count? or are you looking for more heavyweight issues like in the highly acclaimed Iranian film The Circle? How about The Naked Feminist starring porn star Marilyn Chambers?

[INEEDANSWERS]

I need to find a range of films dealing with issues such as the repression of women, and other such serious feminist issues and other films also that show appreciation of feminism.

[Frankie Babe]

I'm sure there are many more but the ones I can think of that might be what you're looking for

The Circle

Beyond Borders

My Tango with Porn

I'm not a Feminist But...

I Shot Andy Warhol

• The Hours


• Girl Fight


• Boys Don't Cry


• Whale Rider

Would you say Tomb Raider was a fesminist movie?

[INEEDANSWERS]

Tomb Raider definately shows feminist appreciation, although only to a certain extent...Is Lara Croft known for her exemptionally large breasts and tight clothing merely for the male gaze(which the production companies know will sell the product), or is this character trying to express the way that even obviously feminine women can be powerful which contrasts to the stereotype which teaches us that only masculine women can carry the same physical power as men.So It really depends upon how you veiw the character... Hope that answers that question

thelma & Louise

[DMA]

Tomb Raider attempts to show that woman with big breasts can still fight the baddies and win.

[INEEDANSWERS]

What does this do though for the confidence of the women who aren't so well endowed and what does this say of societies epectations of women and the ongoing obsession with perfection.

Ps. thankz for all the comments keep them comming every little helps!!!

Could 'Heathers' staring Winona Rider and Christian Slater be classed as a feminist film, along with 'Mona Lisa's Smile' and 'Mean girls'?
