1. Inspiring Women
Coco Before Chanel is my favorite film, and in general I love any story with a strong female lead. I find this story in particular inspiring because it portrays a woman ahead of her time, pursuing an independent lifestyle before it was acceptable and seeing things differently before anyone else could.
