4. Ladybird
A powerful drama about growing up, making tough choices, and finding yourself alone: the film centers on a young girl who demands to be called Lady Bird. The heroine is on the cusp of a new stage in her life, college, which involves moving to another town and separating from her family.
The movie won two Golden Globes for Best Picture (Comedy or Musical) and Best Actress (Comedy or Musical). The script has been rewritten several times since it was initially 350 pages (at least 5 hours of screen time).
