The big screen debut of cultural icon Dolly Parton, this Oscar-nominated (Best Original Song) mega box office hit proved to studios that a film led by women could become a major success. Three office workers (Dolly Parton, Jane Fonda, and Lily Tomlin) are sick and tired of their boss taking advantage of them—both professionally and personally—and decide to fight back. They bring their revenge fantasies to life in this hilarious comedy that changed both the game and the workplace forever.

At summer camp, two 15-year-old rivals from different walks of life are pressured by their fellow campers into competing in a contest: the first girl to lose her virginity will be declared the winner. While the premise sounds like something out of the American Pie franchise, this film has more in common with a coming-of-age drama than a screwball comedy.

This coming-of-age story follows four teenagers living in Los Angeles’ San Fernando Valley. The film exudes punk rock energy, thanks to an outstanding performance by rock legend Cherie Currie of The Runaways.

This film follows two girls from opposite sides of the track who find themselves confined to the same mental hospital. One is there due to a run-in with the police, the other sent by her prominent father. The two develop a bond and decide to escape and run away to the streets of Times Square, New York.
