One additional reason why the lists aren't longer might be that there aren't imdb gender filters, or are there? Like there are for decades and genres. Makes it more easy to miss stuff. I already saw a movie I missed: American Splendor. Added it now at #28.

Yeah I'm already realizing the list I could make with stuff I forgot to add would be just as good as the one I submitted.

Like seeing the films of Nair, Bier and Martel showing up, though they should be higher.
One thing some women directors do really well is get inside the emotional content of their characters and issues.

Why didn’t you participate? There was plenty of time to submit a list.

GruesomeTwosome · #50

Wow, if River of Grass made it, I’m guessing that perhaps all of Reichardt’s other films will be in the list too...I’m not complaining! Love her.

I was planning to at the start. Just feeling some frustration about participating, here, though I enjoy checking out some of the individual lists and discovering a few gems, seeing what others think, etc.

I didn't get to this one, miss most polls, but thought it worthwhile to list the female helmed movies in my top 500 list, particularly as there are a few that are very obscure:

Meshes of the Afternoon (1946 - Maya Deren & Alexander Hammid)
Marie Antoinette (2006 - Sofia Coppola)

Oh, yes! I voted for this one.

I think it's a bit too obscure to make our top 150 since it hasn't appeared it yet, but a placement in the 151-200 range would be nice. Can't wait to see the runner-up results.

We may be both championing recent cinema, but still our tastes are only mildly overlapping. I find Bier absolutely horrible, ugly and sentimental cinema.

I liked that one a lot, but gave it 3.5* and I go for a 4.0* minimum when making lists.

We seem to overlap most on the more arthouse Asian cinema, and I find most of your more mainstream recommendations pretty much define what I would call "horrible, ugly, sentimental" cinema.
Ok, maybe I would use different adjectives to describe them, like mundane, redundant, unimaginative, uninspiring, and generally lacking in cinematic creativity, but hey, we all seem to have somewhat different tastes, here.

As for Bier, while she is clearly drawn to heavy psychological relationship dramas, I think her films not only delve deep inside the issues weighing on her characters, but the performances of her actors are outstanding.

That's the highest ranking film on no official lists. Prime candidate for 500<400 this year, I suppose? Might make DtC too.

I get that Denis' L' Intrus isn't for everyone, but I think that this is among her 3 most ambitious films, and the most interesting of those, so it would make my top 5, here. It is also a film I didn't really like the first time I saw it, albeit the conditions had something to do with that (it was the second half of a double bill at the SF International, following La Nina Santa (which I loved) and a conversation with the director, which meant I was sitting in a movie theater for roughly 6 hours.

L' Intrus is long, slow, and somewhat surreal / abstract, where inner and outer realities (even old footage) meld together, but seen under the right conditions (2 times may be necessary) it becomes clear how amazing it is.
