1. Mulan

Kicking off this list with undoubtedly the best, least problematic Disney Princess— Mulan. Mulan embodies strength and determination amid the rooted gender bias, and the respect she later earns as a woman empowers female audience members. Seeing a strong woman take on the role of soldier and savior creates the perfect feel-good movie that never grows old.

2. Legally Blonde

Brimming with iconic one-liners and hot pink outfits, Legally Blonde makes the perfect Galentine’s Day watch. When Elle angrily bought that orange laptop in a bunny suit? Y’all knew it was over for Warner.

3. On the Basis of Sex

Round up your girlfriends for a trip to the theaters to watch this iconic Ruth Bader Ginsburg biopic. The story follows Ginsburg as she moves to set gender equality in motion.
