While there are a lot of great female-fronted films, there aren't nearly enough that showcase mothers and daughters, sisters bonding and female friendships. So last week we asked: What are your favorite movie moments between women? Here's what you told us!
------
Beaches -- "Most of 'Beaches' Barbara Hershey and Bette Midler so good in those roles."
Bridesmaids -- "The competing bridal shower toasts scene between Kristen Wiig and Rose Byrne is ridiculous and hilarious."
Center Stage -- "When Eva (Zoe Saldana) tells Jody and Maureen that she's no longer dancing for the ballet company's approval, she's dancing for herself."
The Color Purple -- "The end when Celie (Whoopi Goldberg) sees her sister for the first in years and meets her children for the first time. Gut-wrenching and heartbreaking."
Iron Jawed Angels -- "Women's suffrage, female friendships, women banding together fighting for equality...pretty much love the entire movie."
Kamikaze Girls -- "The ending of Kamikaze Girls when Ichiko and Momoko ride off together after defeating the yankis."
Mona Lisa Smile -- "When all of Julia Roberts' students ride their bicycles alongside her car. Makes me weep every time."
Pariah -- "Alike's sister tells her she doesn't care what her sexual orientation is, she loves her no matter what."
Princess Mononoke -- "Mononoke and Lady Eboshi fighting (up until freaking Ashitaka's interuptty one-up-manship don't get me started on Ashitaka)."
Scott Pilgrim vs. the World -- "Roxy and Ramona's fight, Mae Whitman did such a splendid job as her character."
Sense & Sensibility -- "When Elinor confesses to Marianne that she bottles up her emotions."
Steel Magnolias -- "The end of Steel Magnolias when Clairee & Weezer have a love fight on the bench."
Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me -- "Donna and Laura in Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me. The bar scene, and, later, the 'are you my best friend?' scene. Heartbreaking."
Whip It -- "Love when Juliette Lewis tells Ellen Page that she started skating when she was 31 and it took her a long time to find something she was good at and she worked her ass of for it."
