Die Top 5 der Punkfilme mit Frauen in der Hauptrolle

Filme über Punks oder die Zeit sind meistens Geschichten von und über Männer. Doch auch Frauen spielten mit dem Genre des Trash, der Revolte und der Subkultur. Ihnen wurden Hauptrollen auf den Leib geschrieben, aber leider gingen einige Filme unter oder wurden erst gar nicht aufgeführt. Hier sind die Top 5 Filme:
Ladies and Gentlemen, The Fabulous Stains
„Ladies and Gentlemen, The Fabulous Stains is a 1981 film about three teenage girls, including Diane Lane, Laura Dern and Marin Kanter, who start a punk band.“

Times Square
„Times Square is a 1980 film starring Trini Alvarado, Robin Johnson, and Tim Curry. The plot of the film essentially embodies a punk rock ethic – misunderstood youth forming a band and, through music, articulating their frustrations toward adult authority, personified in the film as parents, the medical establishment, and politicians.“

Desperate Teenage Lovedolls
„Desperate Teenage Lovedolls is a 1984 low budget underground film, shot on super-8 film by David Markey, about a rock band of teenage runaways (loosely based on the story of The Runaways, the 1970s band that launched the careers of Joan Jett, Lita Ford, and Cherie Currie) and their misadventures.“


Out of the Blue
„Out of the Blue is a 1980 film featuring and directed by Dennis Hopper. It centers on Cebe, a rebellious young girl (Linda Manz) interested in Elvis Presley and punk rock music, her ex-convict, truck driver father Don Barnes (Dennis Hopper), and her high-strung mother Kathy (Sharon Farrell).“


Smithereens
„Smithereens is a 1982 film directed by Susan Seidelman and starring Susan Berman, Brad Rinn, and punk rock icon Richard Hell. The film follows a narcissistic young woman from New Jersey who comes to New York to join the punk subculture, only to find that it’s gravitated towards Los Angeles; in order to pay her way across country, she engages in a number of parasitic relationships, shifting her allegiances to new „friends“ in an ongoing effort to ultimately endear herself to someone who will finance her desired lifestyle.“
