» Sarah B. Hood - Your top picks are pretty girl-friendly

I haven't seen Legend, but your other top fantasy picks are all a little unusual in having pretty good parts for women. As a female myself, I sometimes find it hard to find anybody in fantasy movies to root for. Not in these!

Although Tolkien didn't write the greatest women's parts, the LOTR movies turn Arwen into a lead instead of a dreamy, dreary bit part, and re-edit Eowyn from being kind of a depressive mope into a pretty fun chick.

I love Sally in Nightmare Before Christmas, and even the 1933 King Kong gives lots of non-screaming time to Faye Wray. Yay!
