Unofficial Female Film Canon

If you haven't already checked it out, you simply must peruse "The Unofficial Female Film Canon" recently posted at House of Mirth and Movies (via Bright Lights Film blog). While hardly comprehensive, it's a compelling, vast and diverse list.

And it certainly stirred me to thinking about which "female protagonist" movies would simply HAVE to be on mine. I suspect my first additions would be Within Our Gates, Maria Full of Grace, Caged and Hairspray (1988), though that's certainly only the beginning. But what say you, lovely reader? What films would be on your addenda to House of Mirth & Movie's "Female Film Canon"?

Alas, I ran out of Supporting Actress features.
At least in the Mandates to which I have access...
So I must resort to Best Actress noms.
Horrors...

(BTW - did Liz give any worthy Supporting perfs?)
