First of all, hi to all, this is my first post.
I was wondering whether you guys could suggest movies with a sort of young, quirky female lead. For example, Sam in Garden State, Em in Adventureland, whoever Zooey plays in 500 days of summer. I just think they are very interesting characters, and I like the movies because of those characters, not necessarily the plots. And I already plan on watching Juno, Nick and norah, and Eternal sunshine, so I'm looking beyond those.
Like I mentioned, I don't really care if the plots are similar, or whether the films are similar. I know if the female lead is the similar, the movies will all have things in common, but what I mean is, when I looked through the "similar to garden state/adventureland" thread, many of those recommended movies are based of the ideas of like coming to age, or coming home, first love, teen indies. They were more based on the plots or aspects of the plots, and I'm looking more to the characters in the plot.
I know that these will tend to be more romantic movies, but I'm not looking for just a Dear john or the notebook type of thing, if it has to be a romance, I'd prefer it be lighter like the ones I have mentioned. Also outside of the genre of romance would be nice too, maybe I could regain some sense of masculinity.
Anyways, I guess this is just a phase, its been a slow summer for me, and I really enjoyed watching Natalie Portman in Garden state, so I just want to see what else is out there. Thanks a bunch guys, I look forward to seeing your recommendations. And sorry for the long post.
