NON sexualized female lead movies - IndieTalk

dlevanchuk · 08-08-2012, 10:56 PM

I'm trying to compile a list of recent (2000 or newer) movies, with a lead female character that aren't sexualized (aka non leather wearing or no shirt skirt) and kicking ass.

I can only come up with several titles:

Flightplan
Salt
Silent Hill

What else?

The Brave One.

Ah thanks.

I just looked up Nicole Kidmand and j. foster movies. Pretty much everything by them fits my category :-D

Not much estrogen on this page: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_action_heroes

Some viable candidates on this list: http://www.boston.com/ae/movies/gall...e_superheroes/

Might find some here, too: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Girls_with_guns

As I no doubt get in trouble.

What's the fun in that....

Aeon Fluxx is very entertaining.

The movie has highly underrated science fiction story elements too.

It's in my collection of DVDs that I own.

Imagine the emotionally barren PC world of the future where being aroused or stimulated is so far passed illegal that the emotions are forgotten.

Welcome to...

In the future
there will be
no such things as...

HOT CHICKS WITH GUNS!!!

Lol @ wearing leather. Why does that matter....also what do you mean by sexualized? Angelie Jolie is a sex symbol, so why did you add Salt?

I'll compile my lst by they may go against your rules. My list is strong female leads.

Vale's Female Leads
- Alien
- The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo
- Kick Ass (the little girl)
- The Legend of Korra (tv show, but the most popular on Nick)
- Million Dollar Baby

Vale, good call with Million Dollar Baby. Mo Cuishle is one of my favorite characters of all time, from any genre.

Dragon Tattoo isn't sexualized?

Hit-Girl is borderline. So long as you're not F'd in the head, no adult would see her as a sex-object, but I'm sure pretty much every 13-year-old boy did, and her costume had something to do with that.

MDM, good call on the Alien series. Ripley is the best!

I think that's one of the most fetishised female leads in cinema history.

(Lisbeth Salander is up there too though...)

Skin-tight leather outfit, with the top half of the jacket unzipped. Nothing sexual about that. Beatrix Kiddo is definitely sexualized. Plus, there is the near-rape scene. I think that has at least a little to do with sex.
