Except for Mad Max I can"t think of another Theron movie that fits my niche, Maybe Angelina Joile’s iMDB. ---

Atomic Blonde might fit the bill ---

_Lucy_, _Colombiana_ and _La Femme Nikita_ were all written, directed and/or produced by Luc Besson - [Luc Besson - IMDb](https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000108/?ref_=fn_al_nm_1) - with sequels coming soon for the first two. There is also _Anna_ (2019) which is the same thing. Sounds like he is your go-to guy for the movies you like best. ---

And Aeon Flux…I think I thought there were more definitive ones out there. Course there’s always _Rise of the Seven_…(deep The Boys cut) ---

Besson also did Leon, which doesn’t exactly fit my niche but I love that movie too. He really does seem to like female killers as much as I do! ---

Luc Besson also produced or directed many movies with Jean Reno, one of which is **Wasabi** which falls into a genre I generally like which is action-comedy. I do like straight action movies and comedy movies but action-comedy is what I prefer which is probably also why I generally like the Marvel movies. I also enjoy Heist movies as well like **The Sting** and **Ocean’s Eleven**. I also like dramas where the dialogue is tight, like **A Few Good Men**. In reality I am not that picky when it comes to movies, though I definitely stay away from Horror. I might hear that they are great movies like **Parasite** or **Get Out** but knowing they are horror films means they do not appeal to me and I will not watch them. `//i\\` ---

While I love the classics, from Casablanca to the Godfather and genre from Sci-Fi and classic Horror, I’m going to put my niche down as Drive-in and Exploitation films. Put me down for Faster Pussycat! Kill! Kill!, Beyond the Valley of the Dolls, Foxy Brown, Shaft, Five Deadly Venoms, Caged Heat, Django, Streetfighter. ---

> [@icon](#): > > I might hear that they are great movies like **Parasite** or **Get Out** but knowing they are horror films means they do not appeal to me and I will not watch them. I’m not a big fan of horror, either, but _Get Out_ is more horror-lite. But his second film, _Us_, has left a scar on my psyche.
