Good movies & TV shows for girls?

[dalekboy]

Been meaning to ask this question for a few weeks. Can anyone recommend any movies or TV shows with solid and clever female characters? Preferably in the lead role, but solid supporting characters are okay as well if it helps expand the range.

I know it's going to be a couple of years before MaybeZoe sees any of it, and even longer before she comprehends what she's seeing, but getting a list now will give me time to hunt down and buy them.

Prefer genre stuff, but anything that has good characters and storytelling will do. She's already going to have some great female role models in her life, but wouldn't mind having some cool stuff to show her. Plus it can't be bad for Lex, either.

Movie: Julie and Julia

Series: Ugly Betty, Big Bang Theory

Less about women, more about racial diversity: The Lost Cities of Gold

Genre stuff in the media form is actually hard to find - most of the examples have at least one aspect that you need to handwave - like the 'older male advisor' type character.
