  4. Frances Ha (2012): Frances, played by Greta Gerwig, is a young woman living in New York and working at a dance company. This film explores the themes of female friendship, identity, dreams, dedication, and struggle.
  5. The Breakfast Club (1985): Five high school students who, on the surface, live completely disconnected lives, earn themselves Saturday detention.
