I like that you went for more recent stuff, and Whip It would have made my list purely for its like-ability.

I think their feature debuts are better than most of movies listed here.

It was written off as a stupid GIRL POWER thing, but it's really sweet, and aside from a misstep or two, and some rough editing, a terrific debut for Barrymore. Plus it has fantastic performances from Marcia Gay Harden and Kristen Wiig.

If you actually read the intro paragraph these parameters are established!
