16 of the Year's Biggest Films — All Led by F*cking Awesome Females

Maybe you remember this musical's heroine, Maria, as a flighty teenager singing in a bridal shop, but if that's all you remember, you're missing out on one of the definitive teen girl characters in movie history. Maria (played by newcomer Rachel Zegler in the remake) is a romantic in love for the first time, but she's also brave, headstrong, and capable of seeing past prejudice to find common ground with someone she's been taught is an enemy.
