The best female-led films to watch on International Women’s Day, from Widows to Erin Brockovich
It’s International Women’s Day on Friday, a day for celebrating women and drawing attention to the inequalities that still exist between men and women.
One fantastic way of taking part in IWD is by watching a film with a strong female lead. And given that there are literally hundreds to choose from, we have narrowed down the list by selecting nine of our favourites.
His Girl Friday (1940)
This comedy about a newspaper editor and his relationship with his star reporter is not only one of the best screwballs ever made, but has one of the best) – on their toes. A film that has inspired hundreds to choose journalism over the years, His Girl Friday is also simply a joy to watch.
