E.T.(Sorry, that's all I could think of because I just watched this with my kids)

YentlA play made into movie, starring Barbara Streissand, about a Jewish girl disguising herself as a boy in order to enter religious training.

Private BenjaminCute movie - Goldie Hawn received an academy award nomination for this movie for best actress (but didn't win - Sissy Spacek beat her out for "Coal Miner's Daughter" that year).
North By Northwest1950's Hitchcock film staring Cary Grant. The scene with the biplane chasing Grant in a field is an iconic scene. *as a note, I almost went with Ninja Cheerleaders, but didn't think it would be nearly as appreciated.

Legally BlondeFluffy little comedy starring Reese Witherspoon.
