Interestingly, neither of them turn out to be [[spoiler:really human, given that Call is an android and Ripley part-alien]].
* ''Film/AvengersAgeOfUltron'' features stoic ActionGirl [[ComicBook/BlackWidow Natasha Romanoff]] and CuteWitch [[ComicBook/ScarletWitch Wanda Maximoff]].

* It's more subtle than most examples but Karen and Martha in ''Theatre/TheChildrensHour'' are this way. They both look feminine however Karen is more stoic and reserved while Martha is assertive and temper prone (though she is depicted doing the domestic chores and cooking more than Karen). Martha even states she's a "skirts and blouse character" while Karen needs to be dressed up more. In the original adaptation, ''These Three'', Martha's body language and accent is geared to make her seem rougher than Karen.
* ''{{Film/Enchanted}}'': Career woman Nancy with the pantsuits and glasses, versus Giselle who wears frilly dresses, gets Robert's house clean and tidy, and dreams only of her true love.
* ''The Girls Room'' had this as the basis for the tension between two college roomies. One's a girlish uptight southern belle, and the other a tough as nails promiscuous pseudo goth.
* ''Film/GoneWithTheWind'': Scarlett O'Hara and Melanie Wilkes. Scarlett's the tough one who shoots enemy soldiers in the face and claws her way tooth and nail to success and wealth, while Melanie's the nice, agreeable "goody goody" who uses kindness and diplomacy to deal with adversity.
* ''Film/{{Hellboy|2004}}'': Liz isn't particularly tomboyish in the first film, but with her [[SnarkKnight snarky]] attitude and combat boots becomes the tomboy to the [[TrueBlueFemininity regal]], [[ProperLady demure]] [[GratuitousPrincess Princess]] Nuala in the [[Film/HellboyIITheGoldenArmy sequel]].

* ''{{Film/The Greatest Showman}}'' has Lettie as the tomboy and Anne as the girly girl.
* In ''{{Film/Holiday}}'', Linda is the tomboy to Julia's girly girl. Both women are attractive and fashionable, but Julia plays up her feminine charm, whereas Linda is direct and intelligent. See also the "Theatre" entry.
* Both women in ''Film/TheHoliday'' are suffering from heartache. Workaholic Amanda is so cold she can't cry when she discovers that her live-in boyfriend has cheated on her, while Iris is distraught when she learns that Jasper Bloom, the object of Iris' unrequited love, is engaged after he announces it at the office Christmas party.
* ''Literature/InHerShoes'' has Rose, a plain and serious lawyer who is protective of her younger sister Maggie despite her flaws. Maggie is a free spirit who knows how to entice a man.
* ''Film/ALeagueOfTheirOwn'' has two examples of this trope: the traditional, family-oriented Dottie Hinson and her rugged, rough-and-tumble sister Kit Keller; and the seductive, flirtatious Mae Mordabito and her foul-mouthed friend Doris Murphy.
* ''Film/LittleDarlings'' has this, with rich girl Ferris and tough, streetwise Angel.
* ''Film/TheLordOfTheRings'' film trilogy has the headstrong warrior princess Eowyn, and the soft-spoken, beautiful Elf Arwen.
* ''Film/MastersOfTheUniverse, [[TheMovie the Motion Picture]]'' contrasted Eternian war goddess, Teela, with a simple earth girl, Julie.
* Maggie's two daughters in ''Film/TheMissing'' are this- the older girl Lily can't wait to leave the farm she grew up on, wears a pretty dress while she slaughters a cow for dinner, and is more fragile in personality than little sister Dot, who wears pants and isn't bothered at all by the tough traveling faced when they search for Lily.
* ''Film/NowAndThen'': Roberta and Chrissy. To a lesser degree, [[DeadpanSnarker snarky]], [[TheSmartGuy smart girl]] Sam and flirty, [[AttentionWhore attention whoring]] glamour girl Teeny.
* [[Creator/MaryKateAndAshleyOlsen The Olsen twins]]: While they did sometimes switch, Mary-Kate usually plays the more tomboyish sister while Ashley usually plays the more feminine sister. To name a few examples --
** ''Film/ItTakesTwo'': Mary-Kate is Amanda Lemmon, an orphan who plays street ball and resents having to act lady-like to get adopted while Alyssa Callaway (played by Ashley) is like a little princess, coming home from her boarding school's piano recital competition, expecting to meet her wealthy father at the airport but it's the butler instead.
** ''Switching Goals'': Mary-Kate plays Sam Stanton, an athletic star soccer player, who is jealous of her sister's popularity with boys. Ashley plays Emma Stanton, a popular fashionable girl but terrible at sports, who is jealous of her sister's athletic achievements.
** ''Film/NewYorkMinute'': Mary-Kate plays punk-rock rebel Roxy while Ashley plays classy and uptight Jane.
* Both ''Film/TheParentTrap1961'' and ''Film/TheParentTrap1998'' contain the [[PolarOppositeTwins twins]] variant but more so in the Creator/HayleyMills (1961) version, with the feisty California girl Susan Evers and the proper Bostonian Sharon [=McKendrick=], who provide the page image. In the Creator/LindsayLohan (1998) version there's the determined American, Hallie Parker, and the proper Brit, Annie James, but Hallie is slightly less tomboyish than the original Susan. In both films, the tomboyish twin was raised by their father, while the girly twin was raised by their mother.
* ''Film/RememberTheTitans'': Sheryl Yoast and Nikki Boone. While both of their fathers are high school football coaches, Sheryl knows enough about football to coach the team herself , and it's practically all she thinks about ([[Creator/HaydenPanettiere she's even played by someone with a]] ''TomboyishName''), while Nikki is mostly concerned with her nails and dolls.
* Tomboy Film/{{Selena}} (likes playing outdoors) and girly girl Suzette (does not want to play drums because "girls didn't play drums").
* ''Film/SomeKindOfWonderful'': Tomboyish {{Bifauxnen}} Watts and Amanda, who is SoBeautifulItsACurse.
* ''Film/SpiderMan3'' has a brief meeting between Mary Jane Watson and Gwen Stacy. While neither of the girls fit these molds completely, MJ (who "loves disgusting spiders") is played as the Tomboy to Gwen's (who has "polished fingernails") Girly Girl.
* In ''Film/StarshipTroopers'' there's Dizzy who loves to fight, play rough sports, and joins the Mobile Infantry and Carmen, who would rather avoid direct combat by being a pilot, and was more of a bookworm before she joined the service.
* In the ''Franchise/StarWars'' universe, Leia is a fiery and tough TomboyPrincess, and usually dresses in a more practical way, in contrast to her SilkHidingSteel mother Padmé, who is more soft-spoken and diplomatic, and often wears ornate, formal gowns.
* ''Film/TenThingsIHateAboutYou'': There's the beautiful and popular Bianca Stratford ([[Series/TheSecretWorldOfAlexMack Larisa Oleynik]]), who is shallow and conceited, pitted against her sister, Kat (Creator/JuliaStiles), who is an ill-tempered school outcast who desperately wants to leave town to go to college and gets accused of being a [[ButchLesbian lesbian]] because of her [[DoesNotLikeMen boy-hating attitude]] (though [[HatesEveryoneEqually she's not much nicer to girls]]) .
* ''Times Square'': Nicky and Pamela, the teenage runaway protagonists. Nicky's a rough-edged, self-sufficient punk rocker who's been in trouble with the law, Pamela's a cute, rather quiet rich girl who writes poetry.

!!Live-Action
* ''Film/AlienResurrection'': Call and Ripley form this dynamic after they become friends. Call, while not especially dolled up, is far more feminine and docile than Ripley 8, who is an aggressive survivalist who out-butches most of the men around her. Interestingly, neither of them turn out to be [[spoiler:really human, given that Call is an android and Ripley part-alien]].
* ''Film/AvengersAgeOfUltron'' features stoic ActionGirl [[ComicBook/BlackWidow Natasha Romanoff]] and CuteWitch [[ComicBook/ScarletWitch Wanda Maximoff]]. Natasha is a calm but aggressive hand-to-hand fighter and who dresses in all black and is OneOfTheGuys, while Wanda is more emotional and wears a dress, jewelry, and long hair into battle.
* This concept is basically the entire plot of ''Film/BendItLikeBeckham''. The two female leads, Jess and Jules, are {{tomboy}}s, but their parents want them to be girly girls like their mothers are. While Jess's parents just think it's un-lady like, Jules's mom [[MistakenForGay mistakenly thinks]] Jules is a [[ButchLesbian lesbian]].
* ''Film/BelowHerMouth'': Dallas and Jasmine. They even discuss Dallas being a tomboy (she dislikes the term), but it fits given her pretty masculine looks and job, while Jasmine is the opposite.
* ''Film/BlueIsTheWarmestColor'': Emma is the first. She's too feminine to be described as butch and too masculine to be considered as a LipstickLesbian. Soft butch would be more accurate. On the other hand, Adèle acts and dresses in more traditionally feminine ways.
* ''Film/{{Bound 1996}}'' has a classic LipstickLesbian and ButchLesbian [[QueerRomance pairing]].
* ''Film/TheBreakfastClub'': Allison, the tomboyish basket case, and Claire, the girly princess.
* In ''Film/BringItOn'', Missy is a tomboy who draws tattoos one her arms, and wears grunge-style clothing, while Torrance is a perky cheerleader, who dresses in feminine clothing (usually bright pink or baby blue)!
* ''Film/{{Caddyshack}}'' features the rivalry between the super slut ''rich man's'' niece, Lacy, and the {{Tsundere}} with the thick Irish accent, Maggie.
* Both the [[Film/WillyWonkaAndTheChocolateFactory 1971]] and [[Film/CharlieAndTheChocolateFactory 2005]] adaptations of ''Literature/CharlieAndTheChocolateFactory'' have Violet and Veruca playing these roles. Especially the 2005 version where Violet is a competitive KungFuKid who wears a tracksuit and BoyishShortHair and Veruca is a spoiled rich girl with pink dress and RegalRinglets.
* It's more subtle than most examples but Karen and Martha in ''Theatre/TheChildrensHour'' are this way. They both look feminine however Karen is more stoic and reserved while Martha is assertive and temper prone (though she is depicted doing the domestic chores and cooking more than Karen). Martha even states she's a "skirts and blouse character" while Karen needs to be dressed up more. In the original adaptation, ''These Three'', Martha's body language and accent is geared to make her seem rougher than Karen.
* ''{{Film/Enchanted}}'': Career woman Nancy with the pantsuits and glasses, versus Giselle who wears frilly dresses, gets Robert's house clean and tidy, and dreams only of her true love.
* ''The Girls Room'' had this as the basis for the tension between two college roomies. One's a girlish uptight southern belle, and the other a tough as nails promiscuous pseudo goth.
* ''Film/GoneWithTheWind'': Scarlett O'Hara and Melanie Wilkes. Scarlett's the tough one who shoots enemy soldiers in the face and claws her way tooth and nail to success and wealth, while Melanie's the nice, agreeable "goody goody" who uses kindness and diplomacy to deal with adversity.
* ''Film/{{Hellboy|2004}}'': Liz isn't particularly tomboyish in the first film, but with her [[SnarkKnight snarky]] attitude and combat boots becomes the tomboy to the [[TrueBlueFemininity regal]], [[ProperLady demure]] [[GratuitousPrincess Princess]] Nuala in the [[Film/HellboyIITheGoldenArmy sequel]].
* ''Film/{{Hitch}}'' has sweet heiress Allegra Cole and the no nonsense gossip water motorcycle-riding columnist Sara Melas.
* ''{{Film/The Greatest Showman}}'' has Lettie as the tomboy and Anne as the girly girl.
* In ''{{Film/Holiday}}'', Linda is the tomboy to Julia's girly girl. Both women are attractive and fashionable, but Julia plays up her feminine charm, whereas Linda is direct and intelligent. See also the "Theatre" entry.
* Both women in ''Film/TheHoliday'' are suffering from heartache. Workaholic Amanda is so cold she can't cry when she discovers that her live-in boyfriend has cheated on her, while Iris is distraught when she learns that Jasper Bloom, the object of Iris' unrequited love, is engaged after he announces it at the office Christmas party.
* ''Literature/InHerShoes'' has Rose, a plain and serious lawyer who is protective of her younger sister Maggie despite her flaws. Maggie is a free spirit who knows how to entice a man.
* ''Film/ALeagueOfTheirOwn'' has two examples of this trope: the traditional, family-oriented Dottie Hinson and her rugged, rough-and-tumble sister Kit Keller; and the seductive, flirtatious Mae Mordabito and her foul-mouthed friend Doris Murphy.
* ''Film/LittleDarlings'' has this, with rich girl Ferris and tough, streetwise Angel.
* ''Film/TheLordOfTheRings'' film trilogy has the headstrong warrior princess Eowyn, and the soft-spoken, beautiful Elf Arwen.
* ''Film/MastersOfTheUniverse, [[TheMovie the Motion Picture]]'' contrasted Eternian war goddess, Teela, with a simple earth girl, Julie.
* Maggie's two daughters in ''Film/TheMissing'' are this- the older girl Lily can't wait to leave the farm she grew up on, wears a pretty dress while she slaughters a cow for dinner, and is more fragile in personality than little sister Dot, who wears pants and isn't bothered at all by the tough traveling faced when they search for Lily.
* ''Film/NowAndThen'': Roberta and Chrissy. To a lesser degree, [[DeadpanSnarker snarky]], [[TheSmartGuy smart girl]] Sam and flirty, [[AttentionWhore attention whoring]] glamour girl Teeny.
* [[Creator/MaryKateAndAshleyOlsen The Olsen twins]]: While they did sometimes switch, Mary-Kate usually plays the more tomboyish sister while Ashley usually plays the more feminine sister. To name a few examples --
** ''Film/ItTakesTwo'': Mary-Kate is Amanda Lemmon, an orphan who plays street ball and resents having to act lady-like to get adopted while Alyssa Callaway (played by Ashley) is like a little princess, coming home from her boarding school's piano recital competition, expecting to meet her wealthy father at the airport but it's the butler instead.
** ''Switching Goals'': Mary-Kate plays Sam Stanton, an athletic star soccer player, who is jealous of her sister's popularity with boys. Ashley plays Emma Stanton, a popular fashionable girl but terrible at sports, who is jealous of her sister's athletic achievements.
** ''Film/NewYorkMinute'': Mary-Kate plays punk-rock rebel Roxy while Ashley plays classy and uptight Jane.
* Both ''Film/TheParentTrap1961'' and ''Film/TheParentTrap1998'' contain the [[PolarOppositeTwins twins]] variant but more so in the Creator/HayleyMills (1961) version, with the feisty California girl Susan Evers and the proper Bostonian Sharon [=McKendrick=], who provide the page image. In the Creator/LindsayLohan (1998) version there's the determined American, Hallie Parker, and the proper Brit, Annie James, but Hallie is slightly less tomboyish than the original Susan. In both films, the tomboyish twin was raised by their father, while the girly twin was raised by their mother.
* ''Film/RememberTheTitans'': Sheryl Yoast and Nikki Boone. While both of their fathers are high school football coaches, Sheryl knows enough about football to coach the team herself , and it's practically all she thinks about ([[Creator/HaydenPanettiere she's even played by someone with a]] ''TomboyishName''), while Nikki is mostly concerned with her nails and dolls.
* Tomboy Film/{{Selena}} (likes playing outdoors) and girly girl Suzette (does not want to play drums because "girls didn't play drums").
* ''Film/SomeKindOfWonderful'': Tomboyish {{Bifauxnen}} Watts and Amanda, who is SoBeautifulItsACurse.
* ''Film/SpiderMan3'' has a brief meeting between Mary Jane Watson and Gwen Stacy. While neither of the girls fit these molds completely, MJ (who "loves disgusting spiders") is played as the Tomboy to Gwen's (who has "polished fingernails") Girly Girl.
* In ''Film/StarshipTroopers'' there's Dizzy who loves to fight, play rough sports, and joins the Mobile Infantry and Carmen, who would rather avoid direct combat by being a pilot, and was more of a bookworm before she joined the service.
* In the ''Franchise/StarWars'' universe, Leia is a fiery and tough TomboyPrincess, and usually dresses in a more practical way, in contrast to her SilkHidingSteel mother Padmé, who is more soft-spoken and diplomatic, and often wears ornate, formal gowns.
* ''Film/TenThingsIHateAboutYou'': There's the beautiful and popular Bianca Stratford ([[Series/TheSecretWorldOfAlexMack Larisa Oleynik]]), who is shallow and conceited, pitted against her sister, Kat (Creator/JuliaStiles), who is an ill-tempered school outcast who desperately wants to leave town to go to college and gets accused of being a [[ButchLesbian lesbian]] because of her [[DoesNotLikeMen boy-hating attitude]] (though [[HatesEveryoneEqually she's not much nicer to girls]]) .
* ''Times Square'': Nicky and Pamela, the teenage runaway protagonists. Nicky's a rough-edged, self-sufficient punk rocker who's been in trouble with the law, Pamela's a cute, rather quiet rich girl who writes poetry.
* Laure, in contrast with her girly little sister Jeanne in the French movie ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NHebAaxnxKM&feature=channel_video_title Tomboy]]''.
* ''Franchise/{{Transformers}}'': While both [[ActionGirl Action Girls]] who love cars, Mikaela Banes is good at fixing them and isn't afraid to use weapons, while secretary-turned-ambassador Carly is never seen without heels and a dress.
%% * Yukio and Mariko in ''Film/TheWolverine''.
* In ''Film/ZombielandDoubleTap'', Wichita plays the Tomboy (sarcastic ActionGirl dressed in dark clothes) to Madison's Girly Girl (flouncy ditzy ValleyGirl dressed in {{pink|Means Feminine}}).
