Jackie Brown - Quentin Tarantino blew a wet one to the blaxpoitation genre and created one mother-effin thick-skinned diva in the process. Acting out the tired and desperate stewardess who refuses to shrivel up and weep like a leaking damn, Jackie Brown toots the girl-power horn and manages to outwit everyone left, right and centre.
In an industry where strong female characters are defined by knuckle-busting, leather-donning senoritas blasting out high punches and kapows, Jackie Brown is breath of fresh air in a sewer factory. Whilst not squeezing her generous ass into an animal print suit and brandishing out the automated weapons, she's got more cojones than the combined total of Michael Bay's pouting car-grinding broads.
Rear Window - Stella
Because her wise-ass bowfull of wisdom character trumps the frills and ribbon of Grace Kelly's beauty. James Stewart can keep his belle of the ball - the luckiest chump of the film is whoever that female-yoda nurse donned the veil for.
Stella: Intelligence! Nothing has caused the human race so much trouble as intelligence.
