...and then someone can compile them and send them to her. I'm sure she'd welcome the opportunity to grow as a person and admit her mistake. I'll start:

First 2 Charlie's Angel's
All 4 hunger games movies
Terminator 1 2 and 3
Tomb Raider
Kill bill 1 and 2
maleficent
Wonder Woman
Captain Marvel
Oceans 8
Underworld
Resident evil
The Aliens movies
Salt
Force awakens
Rogue 1
Last Jedi

I have no doubt there are many,many more.

Salt is one the best movies I’ve seen in theaters.

Anyway Tomb Raider is another movie.

Æon Flux
Supergirl (the Helen Slater film)
Sister Street Fighter

The second 2 probably weren't "successful" per se, but they were female led action films.

Thelma/Louise?

The long kiss goodnight

Quick and the Dead (Sharon stone)

Bad Girls

Barb Wire

To be fair, a lot of those were not successful.

[–] ReelReviews14 (1220) 5 years ago

I cut my list down to name only the successful ones. For example, The Quick and the Dead was not a success so it didn't make my list.

Bonnie and Clyde (1967)
Big Bad Mama (1974)

I just watched Alita: Battle Angel and enjoyed it a lot.

Written by James Cameron so make of that what you will.
