Heavenly Creatures (these are older)
Lawn Dogs
Pan's Labyrinth
Thirteen (not exactly, only 1 storyline)
Tideland


TIA,

Add "Max and Mary" to the above.

I agree, Mary and Max was amazing.
For girl movies... look up the Fanning sisters (Dakota and Elle). Phoebe In Wonderland in particular. Secret Life Of Bees...
And Miyazaki likes girl characters a lot.

Incredible to watch a four year give a performance as good as this. Must see.
