Thelma & Louise (1991)
Of all the films that celebrate women empowerment, Thelma & Louise has earned its place as one of the very best. Susan Sarandon is as tough as it gets, and she’s an excellent leader to her floundering, spineless girlfriend Geena Davis. The two girls start off just having a weekend getaway, and Geena has to sneak out of the house from her oppressive husband. Their girls’ road trip is full of surprises, but ironically (or perhaps purposely) the events that change their lives center around men. Geena gets too friendly with a man at a nightclub, and Susan’s reaction leads them past the point of no return. Later, they pick up an attractive hitchhiker (a very young Brad Pitt) but even that has consequences.
Obviously, this isn’t a movie that’s supposed to teach girls how to behave. But it will definitely fill you with tons of empowerment. You’ll burn your bra, throw away your razor, and join the war against men! Or maybe you’ll just enjoy this iconic drama and take the “life lessons” with a grain of salt. If you’ve never seen it before, there’s only one rule: you have to watch it with your best friend.
Kiddy Warning: Obviously, you have control over your own children. However, due to violence, language, and sexual assault, I wouldn’t let my kids watch it.
