4. Elle - Legally Blonde
Based on the book of the same name, Legally Blonde set out to shoot down the negative stereotypes associated with women. It became such a success, spawning a sequel, a spin off, as well as a musical adaptation. A third film is also set to grace our screens with Reese Witherspoon returning to her iconic role of Elle.
On the surface, Elle Woods seems no different from her other sorority sisters. Often donning pink from head to toe, she stands out dramatically in her new home of Boston and gives the impression that she is nothing more than a typical blonde.
Based on her appearance and personality, she is looked down upon by her peers even though she is at the same level. Elle unsurprisingly becomes fed up with the constant ridicule and after an uncomfortable incident during her internship, finds herself determined to prove everyone wrong.
The story comes to an inspiring and heart-warming end as Elle manages gain a confession during a murder case. She secures the vindication she had always wanted, using her intellect and superficial knowhow, uncovering an inconsistency no one else could have considered.
