I'm making a list of the greatest popular movies that I've never seen. My list so far is very male-dominated. What are some of the best, famous movies starring women that I should watch? Right now I've got:

Fargo
Lady Bird

Movies along these lines that I've already watched:
Alien(s)
Amelie
Black Swan
Kill Bill
The Silence of the Lambs
The Sound of Music

For comparison purposes, this is the rest of my list. Remember, this is not a list of the greatest movies ever, it's the most acclaimed movies that I haven't seen:
The Shawshank Redemption
Goodfellas
No Country For Old Men
There Will Be Blood
Do The Right Thing
Lawrence of Arabia
Schindler's List
The Usual Suspects
Gladiator
Leon The Professional
Master and Commander
Das Boot
Natural Born Killers

You could probably just pick from any Best Actress list of any year - are you interested in having the roles present the women in any specific way?

There's a million classic roles with Katherine Hepburn, Barbara Stanwyck, Ingrid Bergman, Deborah Kerr, Audrey Hepburn etc.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/AFI%27s_100_Years...100_Stars just pick the top film for the top 25 on this list and you're going to get a heck of a sampling.

It's not about the performance itself, more the overall quality of the movie. And I'd rather not sort through 100 years of Best Actress winners.

I don't watch that many movies in a year, but I appreciate the suggestions and I'll probably end up watching most of them!
