Which films you think have done the girl Power thing right, without shoving feminism down to our throats.?

I’d say

The Devil wears Prada
Legally Blond
Clueless
Wonder Woman
The Avengers films with Black Widow and Scarlet Witch.
Erin Brockovitch.

Great film, though the teen parts were FAR superior to the grown ups, IMO.

I love this question, but aside from Jackie Brown, I couldn’t think of a movie where I admired the woman’s “girl power”. I’m a little bothered by this.

How is clueless considered girl power being done the right way? Just curious.

I’d say because our protagonist was emotionally smart. When she goes to her dad showing him how she transformed her grades, he said he was proud because she was clever.

She had great convincing powers and was able to get her teachers together.

Girl power for me is not only about littreally kicking ass like Wonder Woman or alien but having a smart in any kind of way female protagonist. We saw she had flaws when she didn’t want to accept her friends boyfriend and how at some moments acted so clueless but she knew how win people over.
