Have you ever wondered which movies with strong female leads men like the most? A recent internet survey asked, “Men: What is the best film with a female lead?” Here are the top 23 answers:
Aliens
“What else could it possibly be? I think the real question should be: What’s the best female movie lead other than Ripley and Sarah Connor?”
“I was going to say Kill Bill, but I have to agree, aliens is probably the right answer.”
Fargo
“Oh yeah, Frances McDormand knocks every performance right out of the park, but Fargo really stands out.”
“Frances is phenomenal. Even though she won a few Oscars, she is still not talked about a lot.”
Monster
“I have liked her in everything I’ve seen her in. I really liked her in ‘Italian Job’ and ‘Atomic Blonde.’”
The Silence of the Lambs
“Someone once said that the greatest on-screen couple was Clarice and Hannibal, and I kind of agree.”
“Silence of the Lambs might be one of the real sleepers when it comes to ‘the best film ever’ conversation.”
Million Dollar Baby
“I watched Million Dollar Baby a long time ago on TV. I don’t remember too much of it. I just remember deciding that it was too much for me to be allowed to watch it again.”
“I remember watching it with my daughter. I think she was about 11. Both of us were in tears at the end. It was one of those moments you remember years later, good times.”
Legally Blonde
“My girlfriend showed me the movie recently. I was ready to snuggle and fall asleep, but I ended up shouting at the screen the whole time. She didn’t think I’d get that invested.”
“Silly as its moments are, the movie is wholly charming and is also full of great lessons in self-confidence and the value of grit.”
Kill Bill
“We used to have a budget theater with movies for $1 after they had their initial run. My wife and I caught Kill Bill for $1, then drove around the block to the regular movie theater to see Kill Bill 2 immediately after.”
“Literally my all-time favorite. It’s the only movie that I’ve gone to the theater twice to watch.”
Arrival
“I think this film is criminally underrated. Great acting and an amaaaaaazing plot. Really great psychological aspect as well.”
“Amy Adams could hit me with a car, and I’d have a smile on my face.”
Scream
“Sidney is top-tier for horror characters, never mind just female leads in horror.”
“I feel Scream is genuinely underrated, not just as a horror movie but just as a movie.”
Hereditary
“Toni Collette in everything she’s in. She kills it every damn time!”
“I can’t watch that movie again because it’s terrifying, and she’s so, so good.”
Portrait of a Lady on Fire
“Not only a female lead but basically an all-female cast as well, with only a handful of small background male parts with a couple of lines of dialogue.”
“Probably the best drama/romance movie I have ever seen. It’s so well written and acted.”
Mean Girls
“Lohan is absolutely brilliant in Mean Girls (she was brilliant in everything around that time—such an underrated lead). Likeable with such an easy charm and star power.”
“Mean Girls, I’ve found, is the one defining teen ‘chick flick’ that every guy I’ve ever known will watch, enjoy, and quote along to.”
Pan’s Labyrinth
“This is a fantastic movie. The child actress is really good.”
“That scene with the farmer and the wine bottle is stuck in my head forever. It’s not the most gruesome thing I’ve ever seen, but for some reason, it sticks out as one of the most brutal scenes.”
Amelie
“It’s in my top 5 all-time, but I completely understand that some people don’t like it. It’s pure feel-good turned to 11. Some people find that kitschy.”
“I still have a rolled-up original Japanese film poster of that movie. It’s even warmer in French with subtitles.”
Rogue One
“Felicity Jones was excellent, and the movie was easily the best of the Disney releases so far.”
“Congratulations, you are being rescued. Please do not resist.”
Devil Wears Prada
“A great story about ambition and the danger of losing yourself in pursuit of your goals.”
“I accidentally tricked my husband into seeing this in theaters with me. He saw ‘devil’ in the title and thought it would be an exorcism movie. He wasn’t mad. He just quietly informed me of the mistake as we were leaving.”
Sicario
“Emily Blunt was amazing in that movie. It’s such a good movie, and everything gels so well, but she absolutely carries it on her shoulders.”
“Correct! Incredible cast all around, but Emily Blunt absolutely KILLS IT.”
Howl’s Moving Castle
“It’s interesting. The title of the movie has Howl’s name, but it is about Sophie. Love that movie. Will cry almost every time.”
“Howl’s Moving Castle always rises to the top as my favorite. I think it’s because I identify so much with that weird push and pull between feeling like both a young woman and an old woman at the same time.”
Spirited Away
“I could argue any of Miyazaki’s films. I couldn’t pick just one. Though spirited away would be one of my top ones.”
“Most of Miyazaki’s movies have a female protagonist, in fact. Princess Mononoke, Nausicaa, My Neighbour Totoro, Howl’s Moving Castle, Kiki’s Delivery Service, Whisper of the Heart, Ponyo, and Arietty. He writes strong girls and women really well.”
Rabbit Proof Fence
“I love that movie. Also, even though she’s not a lead in it, I think Deborah Mailman is fantastic.”
“Loved that movie. Also saw a ‘making of’ version with interviews with the original women who lived it and video of the casting of the little girls.”
V for Vendetta
“Such a classic, and just stellar performances all around… But Portman really nailed it as Evey.”
“A good example of a story adaptation where you change a bunch of stuff and it’s still good. Adaptations don’t need to be 1:1.”
Heathers
“I quote this film so much to blank stares. An absolutely perfect film.”
“The musical is also very good if you’re into that stuff.”
Girl, Interrupted
“I was a dumb teenager when I first saw it, and I was bored, so I just started watching. It was one of the first movies that truly made me think and feel something afterward.”
“Wow, I forgot about this one. Started my Angelina Jolie crush as a teenager.”
