The trailers for the upcoming films Drive-Away Dolls (opening February 23) and Love Lies Bleeding (opening March 8) have us thinking about all the badass women who have teamed up in films through the years, especially the ones with criminal intent. They may love each other or hate each other, but they belong to a sisterhood of women who aren’t content to simply play the hand society has dealt them. They’re fighting back against a rigged game. For these characters, rules and morals are merely suggestions. That’s what makes them so much fun to watch. Here are our favorite female lawbreakers and troublemakers from films of the past, listed in chronological order of release.
