FirstLoveMovies

I recently watched Ulvesommer and I'm looking for tips on other movies, in any genre, that feature tough/cool girls aged 10-12 (she doesn't have to be the main character but she should be a main character) and that include scenes with the girl that are similar to the most interesting scene in that movie.

By tough/cool girl I mean that she should preferably be at least 3 of the following (but its definately not necessary for her to be all of them):
Popular, adventurous, brave, tomboyish, cheerful, precocious, arrogant, determined, self-confident
She should preferably not be:
Immature, whiny, insecure, timid

Why don't you just browse this forum?

Good sources arre https://www.rarefilmfinder.com and https://lostmoviesarchive.com

I was about to say the same thing.. LOL ghost.

The whole pleasure of looking up "scenes" you like (and from the top of my head I can't recall the 'interesting' scenes from the movie you mention, while I surely ripped it), is going through these forums, looking up the article, and download to see!

Like, for instance, the criteria you mention there, I'm sure there's hundreds of films that match, including shorts!

And here's my point: what's interesting to you, might not be, to somebody else.

I'm not asking for movies that I woud enjoy, I'm asking for movies that meet specific and quite objective criteria, which are hard and very time-consuming to determine by just reading about the movies but very easy and quick to determine for someone who has seen the movies (if they understand what I mean) - then I can decide myself if I'll watch them or not. I've edited my original post to make the criteria even more specific. I have a long list of candidate movies but find it hard to decide whch ones to watch from the written information I can find about them (and there are surely more that I've missed on my list).

The only thing I can say is that pages like rarefilmfinder or https://www.childrenincinema.com/ have tags that simplify searches such as First kiss (if you like love topics) or kidnapping (if you are looking for something more dramatic)

I also looked for the same in my beginning and to find I went searching for each FLM forum every day I check there for all tastes

How about this one, Ana was already 13 but young looking : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FCjlubLJcxk

~The original Pipi Longstocking movies

That leads to an interesting question: who is here the 'strong-willed' girl? Big mouthed horselifting Pippi or the clever and responsible Annika? I'm not at all biased as you see ...

I hear you, warg!

I, personally [being biased ], lean to Annika purely on the shallow basis that I think she's cuter than Pipi. (PLUS she wasn't shy about going topless when the circumstances called for it.. ) HOWEVER; she had a tendency to complain about things at times AND she got herself into situations that Pipi had to rescue her from...

All things considered, I think that our new member [Mr. Random Letter Guy] would probably be drawn to Pipi precisely for the reasons you mentioned as well as her fitting the other criteria he set forth:
