Movies with a Mostly Female Cast: The Top 25?

Aug 10, 2024
2 min read

At first I looked up movies that have a cast made up solely of female actors. It turns out, however, that according to Wikipedia there have only been 27 ever made. All but 10 were released after the year 2000. And I haven’t seen any of them.

I have, however, seen many movies with a majority of the cast being female, or at least having females as all or most of the principal characters. I picked my top 25, which this is clearly coming from a male perspective. I’d love to see a list made from a female position. Getting a list like that in my inbox would be awesome. Hint hint!

And here we go…

  1. Ocean’s 8 (2018)

  2. Charlie’s Angels (2000)

  3. Turning Red (2022)
