Grrrl Movies

I'm neil and am pretty new to this website or, in fact, any website. I was just wondering if there are any grrrlish/feminist movies that you can talk a bit about and rcommend. I'll start by mentioning the filmmaker Rainer Werner Fassbinder. He was a gay German filmmaker who made several movies about (and for) women. Some titles are The Marriage of Maria Braun, Effi Brest, Lola, and Veronica Voss. to name a few. Anyway if there are film(s) you want to recommend please tell us.

I think I'm a little afraid it will be awful.
You can get it on amazon.com
Better yet if you have a local music/video store I think you can order it through them.
That's how I got mine.; ▶ Reply to This

"but I'm a cheerleader" is a really fun movie for queerfeminists.; ▶ Reply to This

There's also a film called 'Down and Out with the Dolls' which is a feature about an all=girl band, not strictly riot grrrl but interesting. Another couple of movies I would suggest (though they pre-date riot grrrl per se they sum a certain 'girl culture' vibe - 'out of the Blue', 'Times Square' and 'Foxes'.; ▶ Reply to This

I don't know any grrrl movies except what i read on this forum. The movies i mentioned are just good films about interesting women.; ▶ Reply to This
