The sisterhood of the traveling pants. It will make you cry but in a good way.
The breakfast club. old but still great and you can download it free from Limewire.
The mirror has two faces and Nuts with Barbara Streisand (in fact any Streisand movie is a must see.

You should DEFINITELY see Down by Law Directed by Jim Jarmusch. One of the best independent films ever made in my opinion.
