Named after a favorite Lil’ Wayne song, the theme for this week’s Monday Movie Meme is influenced by a crime drama I watched over the weekend that had me wondering if Boston has a shortage of female cops.
Out of sheer curiosity, I then tried to figure out how many female movie characters, who were members of the police force, came to mind. This was no easy task, which brings us to our Monday Movie Meme theme: Ms. Officer
Share on your blog or in the comments section, movies featuring your favorite or most memorable women who are a part of law enforcement. This includes patrol cops, detectives, correctional officers and related workers involved in making arrests.
Here are my selections for this week’s Ms. Officer theme.
Miss Congeniality
An FBI agent goes undercover as a beauty pageant contestant to stop a terrorist attack, in this comedy starring Sandra Bullock, Benjamin Bratt and Michael Caine.
Stuck!
A cruel prison guard works her best at keeping a group of restless prisoners in line, throughout this women-in-prison drama starring Stacy Cunningham and Karen Black.
Firecracker
A police chief investigates a murder in her small town where traveling carnival shows and white picket fences hide years of child abuse and other shocking revelations, in this mystery drama starring Susan Traylor and Mike Patton.
