Powerful and inspirational women! Woot woot!! ❤️
Cheering too!! <3
I got 10!
Woohoo, you’re outa this world :)
I ended up with about 8 too so I’ll have to make sure to watch some of those movies now. Thanks for the quiz and for spreading the word on inspirational women!
I’m going to be watching some of these films too – great minds think alike ;) Thanks Sheila and have a nice weekend :)
…and finally a poc! Great to see female heroes, now let’s see diverse female heroes!!!
YES!!
many inspirational
women
here :-)
Go ladies go :) And YES your best post so far, that one I read yesterday!!
Oh my lord, what a great great post. It had me at Scarlett O’Hara… But just the other day I was watching the dreadful last Terminator film and bemoaning how very badly Sarah Conner was played and scripted, all modern words for bite me basically on a heroine from the 80s. And I was saying what a fab creation she was and how good Linda Hamilton was in Judgement Day. Wonderful to see this post.
Hi Shey! So great you had fun with the quiz too :) Oh I didn’t see the last Terminator film so I didn’t know how bad her role in it was as the series progressed. Well that’s disappointing!
Well of course Linda Hamilton dropped out after the first two. But you might say this attempt to write and play her was toe-bunching, is something of an understatement. There are some things you leave alone. The original Terminator is one of them. She was such a great creation, you know the waitress who couldn’t balance her cheque book with the fluffy hair to the mother of the future, hard as nails. And like that I was actually thinking about female roles that have stood out AND then here’s this brilliant post with so many of these parts right there. x
I think I technically got 6, but if you count the ones I recognised as a film but couldn’t remember the names of the women or the film then it’s 11 (awful memory!) This was fun, and I think films are a great way to identify with and feel empowered by inspirational women of years past and today. x
Wonderful reflections on feeling empowered by watching these female characters! Your comment makes me so happy I reblogged this film quiz :)
I’m glad you did too! :)
Right off the bat, I knew 5 of them – all my favourite movies:
Sigourney Weaver as Ellen Ripley in the Alien franchise
Linda Hamilton as Sarah Connor in the Terminator franchise
Julia Roberts in the title roles Erin Brockovich
Sandra Bullock in The Blind Side
Octavia Spencer in Hidden Figures
My, you have good taste in movies! Although Alien scared me ;S
