St Trinian's (2007 Barnaby Thompson and Oliver Parker)

Fab cast includes Rupert Everett (who's strangely moving), Colin Firth (it took me until the second film to realise that Firth's retort of 'Another Country' is doubly funny as they were both in it), Talulah Riley, Gemma Arterton, Jodie Whittaker, Juno Temple, Tamsin Egerton, Lily Cole, Paloma Faith, Celia Imrie, Fenella Woolgar, Toby Jones, Anna Chancellor, Lucy Punch, Stephen Fry and Mischa Barton.

Quite amusingly written (there are four credited writers, but in the 'special thanks' I noticed a certain Jennifer Saunders, who thus may also have contributed). Even references Ronald Searle's original drawings in its animated section. Reasonably progressive (more girl power than exploitation).
