There is no doubt about the fact that movies have a way of evoking emotions in us that we don't really expect them to. Some of the emotions can be strong and stay with us for a long, long time, and some of them are fleeting. There are certain movies that resonate and relate more to either of the genders. But this is not what this list is about. Instead, it is a list of movies that every human should watch in order to learn something. Additionally, these movies also help little girls aspire to become the strong women they want to be. To become their own idols and to never let the world bring them down.
