There's tons of them but here's a few to start with:

Alien (& all the sequels)(Sigourney Weaver)
Aeon Flux (Charlize Theron)
Ultraviolet, Resident Evil & pretty much anything with Milla in it
Hard Revenge Milly &
Oneechanbara (if you like japanese movies)
Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon (Michelle Yeoh & Jen Yu)
Kill Bill (Uma Thurman & Lucy Liu)
Terminator (Linda Hamilton, not the lead but bad ass anyway)
Underworld (Kate Beckinsale)
Matrix (Carrie-Ann Moss, again, not the lead but still kicks serious ass)

TV:
Nikita (my fav is the one with Peta Wilson)
Bionic Woman (with Lindsey Wagner)
Buffy (Sarah Michelle Gellar, Eliza Dushku & pretty much all the rest)
Walking Dead (more than 1 tough girl but Danai stands out with her katana)
Xena (Lucy Lawless, Hudson Leick & more)

Agent Carter is a TV show that has a female spy in the 1940s, a spin-off of Captain America. She is indeed very badass.
