30 People Share Movies Where the "Strong Female Lead" Was Actually Done Right

"Contrary to what some screenwriters might believe, the strong female leads in their films don't have to be the sexiest women on Earth, and they certainly don't need to fall in love with the male lead. They can have their own agendas, their own minds and be capable of solving problems on their own, just like women in real life!
Reddit users have recently been sharing examples of the "strong female lead" trope in films that have actually been done well, so we've gathered some of their top replies below. From Clarice Starling to Elle Woods, enjoy scrolling through, and be sure to upvote all of your favorite strong, independent women!"
I did not agree with one choice, so the last movie is of my choosing.
