Suggestion: Favorite Movie Heroine of 2024 (Requesting suggestions)

@rubyfruit76​ 

Personally, I would include Emilia from Emilia Perez although I greatly disliked the film. 

I would also include Sienna from Terrifier 3. 

Thanks, @Maxence_G ! I added Emilia. I'm torn about Sienna. From what I've read, the character seems to fit but the movie not so much, perhaps? I'll read more, though. Thanks for the suggestions! : ) 

Oh, do you think I should add any of the other characters from Emilia Perez if I have room? I'll probably see the movie but i'm not sure when. 

@AlexEros I'd love to but unfortunately I usually barely have enough room for characters from movies so I couldn't fit TV characters, as well. That's a good idea for a poll, though, (TV Heroines from 2024) if you want to do it. : )

These are great, @Pencho15! I've seen two of them so I'm not sure how I forgot them but thank you for reminding me -- and to remind me to continue to watch 'Scoop,' which I started but was interrupted. Oh and I remember I was really looking forward to seeing 'Shirley' but I can't recall it coming out so thanks for that, as well. : ) They're perfect for this list; I added all five. 

She's so cute. : ) And I love the idea behind the Inside Out films. 'Added, of course. Thanks, Jess! 

@dan_dassow  'Definitely added. I haven't seen the film yet but she's been a big hero of mine for a long time: first as a child because she was one of my favorite saints in my Book of Saints (I even named a doll "Frances" after her, lol), and then as an undergrad learning about her in my Social Work & Public Policy class. Thank you, so much, for the great suggestion.

@urbanemovies Thank you, so much, for these suggestions. I haven't seen any of these films and in fact, hadn't even heard of several, including the two you mentioned ('Blink Twice' and 'First Omen'), which points to the reason why I requested suggestions: I tend not to know a lot of big budget and/or popular movies, at least before they land in a streaming service that I have, so I figured that I'd have knowledge gaps.  Speaking of those two movies, may I ask why you highlight those two? I haven't read up on 'Blink Twice' at all, although the fact that Zoe Kravitz directed and co-wrote it tends to make me think that it wouldn't be misogynist. As for 'The First Omen,' I read a persuasive article that posits that the movie is a feminist take on the story. I also read a post that argued quite the opposite but, unlike the article, it was not at all convincing, and those were all I found on that particular subject. Since I didn't see either, I'm wondering if something about them gave you pause or just the opposite: I trust your judgement. Thanks again! : )

@urbanemovies​  p.s.: I've added a few and will return to this after I get some sleep. I kept making typos, which is usually a good sign that I need some sleep. Well, that and it's 2:30 am, lol. 

@rubyfruit76​, I think the subject matter in these three films is controversial, but how the women handle the situations in these films goes against being portrayed as helpless victims and instead shows their courage, strength and heroism under extreme circumstances. The explanation has spoilers, so you may want to "kick the can" on a decision until you get a full pool from the other options. I don't think that the two are "must add", just worthy of discussion and notable due to their number of IMDb votes. I would ballpark them @ roughly in the 20 to 40 range out of the 50 options, based on ranking them in terms of popularity, quality and strength in fitting the question's scope.

The First Omen  involves a conspiracy within the church, desperate to regain power against the rise of secularism, it seeks to bring about the birth of the Antichrist to create fear and drive people back to the Church. This plan includes the forceful impregnation of an aspiring nun, Margaret in a satanic ritual (the night she was drugged and blacked out at the disco). Margaret uncovers the conspiracy, fights to protect an orphan named Carlita and attempts to thwart the conspirators and their plan at numerous turns.

- Blink Twice involves multiple women being drugged, sexually assualted and having their memories wiped of the assaults on a tropical island, but two women discover the deception and end up turning the tables on their perpetrators.

- Being Maria a biopic about actress Maria-Hélène Schneider, "...best known for co-starring opposite Marlon Brando in the controversial Last Tango in Paris (1972), which was noted for its graphic sexuality. Schneider later revealed she was not informed about a simulated rape until moments before it was filmed, an event she described as traumatic and humiliating. The film documents Maria Schneider's rise to fame after "Last Tango in Paris" and the controversial production's impact on her life and career. Although Michelangelo Antonioni's The Passenger (1975) showcased her abilities, a reputation for walking out of films during production resulted in her becoming unwelcome in the industry. However, she re-established stability in her personal and professional life in the early 1980s,..." She goes from victim to championing equality and improving the conditions actresses worked in over the remainder of her life.

'Added. They seem to be perfect. Thanks for these! 

@urbanemovies  Thanks for this; it was very helpful. And yes, absolutely, multiple characters from the same movie will definitely be consolidated into one entry per film: Louise & Agnes from 'Speak No Evil' are just there because I'm waiting on a photo of both of them that I submitted and if it's not accepted, I'll make a choice between the bad photo of both characters and the much better photo of only one. I'd rather include both of them but so far that's the only photo of the two characters and it's an awful pic. I often leave notes and the like on my lists for my own purposes until the list is complete and then I clean it all up. : )

@rubyfruit76​ I uploaded some pictures and here are some alternative images options. If you like any of them, you can just type in their rm id#  in the list and they will appear.
