'Whale Rider' (2002)

Directed by Niki Caro.      Pandora Film/Newmarket Films

Available on: Amazon Prime Video

"Whale Rider" is something of a cult classic, and is actually directed by Niki Caro — the woman who directed the upcoming live-action remake of "Mulan." Caro's 2002 movie follows a young Mãori girl who wants to become chief of her tribe but is told the role is only reserved for males.

'Rogue One: A Star Wars Story' (2016)

Directed by Gareth Edwards.      Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures

Available on: Disney Plus

One of the best "Star Wars" movies of recent times, Gareth Edwards' "Rogue One" focused on character rather than plot since we all knew how the quest to put a stop to the Death Star ended. The result is an impactful, meaningful movie with Felicity Jones nailing the lead role as a Jynn Erso while a fabulous Ben Mendelsohn takes on the villainous role of Director Orson Krennic.

'Jupiter Ascending' (2015)

Directed by Lana and Lilly Wachowski.      Warner Bros. Pictures Roadshow Entertainment

Available on: Netflix

The Wachowskis' "Jupiter Ascending" is the sort of campy fun that is best taken not so seriously. Channing Tatum and Mila Kunis ham it up in the most operatic of space operas, while Eddie Redmayne delivers his most bizarre, colorful performance yet as the movie's villain.

'Frozen' (2013)

Directed by Chris Buck and Jennifer Lee.      Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures

Available on: Disney Plus

Elsa is the leader of a kingdom with incredible superpowers, and goes on quite a journey throughout the film as she struggles with herself and her powers and battles a few conniving men around her. Gal Gadot's Diana Prince similarly goes on her own, albeit very different, journey with her own set of powers.

'Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon' (2000)

Directed by Ang Lee.      Sony Pictures Releasing

Available on: Netflix

"Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" was such an international success that it ended up being nominated for 10 Oscars, winning four. Ang Lee was nominated for best director for this historical wuxia epic.

'Captain Marvel' (2019)

Directed by Anna Boden and Ryan Fleck.      Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures

Available on: Disney Plus

"Captain Marvel" was the MCU's first movie with a female lead, coming two years after the success of DC's "Wonder Woman." Although DC's is the better-reviewed movie (93% compared to 78%), "Captain Marvel" is still a great entry into the MCU and adds to the lore and history of the universe, as well as several major characters including Samuel L. Jackson's Nick Fury.

'Captain America: The First Avenger' (2011)

Directed by Joe Johnston.      Paramount Pictures

Available on: Disney Plus

A superhero in World War II. Immediately, "The First Avenger" and "Wonder Woman" are pretty similar as two of the very few period superhero movies. Hayley Atwell steals the show here as Agent Carter — and probably deserved her own film about the forming of SHIELD.

'Brave' (2012)

Directed by Mark Andrews and Brenda Chapman.      Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures

Available on: Disney Plus

"Brave" is one of the most seriously underrated Pixar movies, despite winning the Oscar for best-animated feature. Featuring an excellent voice cast (Emma Thompson, Billy Connolly, Julie Walters), the film follows female lead Princess Merida fighting for her independence but landing herself in the throes of a curse.

'Ant-Man and the Wasp' (2018)

Directed by Peyton Reed.      Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures

Available on: Disney Plus

Peyton Reed's "Ant-Man and the Wasp" acted as a nice palate cleanser to "Avengers: Infinity War," and bridged the gap between "Infinity War" and "Endgame." It's also great to see Evangeline Lily's Hope van Dyne take on the mantel of the Wasp and smashing it.

'The Aeronauts' (2019)

Directed by Tom Harper.      eOne/Amazon Studios

Available on: Amazon Prime Video

"The Aeronauts" reunites "The Theory of Everything" costars Eddie Redmayne and Felicity Jones, and takes them on a whirlwind journey as a scientist and balloon pilot on an adventure in a hot-air balloon in the 1860s.
