I've argued with my flat mate about whether or not Disney's Mulan from 1998 (the animated version) is a feminist film. I know that when I first watched it in theatres, it felt incredibly empowering and on my last rewatch a few years ago, I still feel the same way. More on that below if you are interested.
What are some feminist films that you enjoy and what do you enjoy about them?

Good Morning #Canada
On this day in 1955, the passion of French Canadian #Hockey fans spilled over into the streets outside of the Montreal Forum. The Richard Riot was named after the Canadiens star player Maurice (Rocket) Richard. Following a violent altercation on March 13th, in which Richard hit a linesman, #NHL president Clarence Campbell suspended him for the remainder of the 1954–55 NHL season (3 games) and the entire playoffs. Montreal fans protested that the suspension was too severe and the Francophone fan base claimed the length of the suspension was motivated by Richard's French Canadian ethnicity. On March 17th the Canadiens played Boston, with the Rocket watching from the players bench in street clothes. The Forum was surrounded by chanting fans and when Clarence Campbell took his usual seat at the Forum the anger ignited. The resulting riot damaged neighbourhood stores and buildings, and led to dozens of arrests.
