The MoFo Top 100 Films Directed By Women: The Countdown

Fish Tank was Number 2 on my list. So good.

I think it was a post of yours that got me to watch it.

I didn't love Fish Tank.

Boys Don't Cry is a very good, very powerful movie that was my #8.

Top 10 predictions:

1. Big
2. Point Break
3. Lost in Translation
4. The Hurt Locker
5. We Need to Talk About Kevin
6. Zero Dark Thirty
7. Lady Bird
8. Near Dark
9. Strange Days
10. American Psycho

I'll definitely get on board the Lost in Translation at #1 train. I think American Psycho will be really high, too, and I think Big cracks the top five.

Let's hope Lost in Translation is #1. That's one of my all-time faves.

Boys Don't Cry was my #10 - a very realistic film about the power of love and hate.

Seen 90/90

I like both: Fish Tank and Boy's don't cry

Have not heard of Fish Tank and have not seen all of Boys Don't Cry (at least I don't think I've seen it all the way through)

Won't take a stab at the #10 since I never come remotely close to guessing them.

Didn't make my list because I had too many Bigelow films and I prefer her other work to this one.

Suspect's Reviews

Nor mine. I thought it was so-so.

Bigelow is obviously talented, but I find it hard to enjoy her films. They're technically impressive but a little cold, and I rarely want to rewatch them. I'm thinking more of her recent films. Zero Dark Thirty was very good, can't deny it, but I have no desire to see it again, either.

I didn't really like Zero Dark Thirty but lots of people seem to.

I had Boys Don't Cry at #8. Powerful film.

I haven't seen Zero Dark Thirty and have no desire to see it.

I liked Zero Dark Thirty but didn't vote for it - some of it was exciting and suspenseful but other parts were overlong and borderline muddled. Bigelow is still the Goddess of my list.

Love Bigelow. Every movie of hers I have seen was on my list including Zero Dark Thirty which has one of the best action sequences ever put to film.

I think the only Bigelow I have seen is Detroit.

She's a good director but i think half of the top ten being Bigelow films is a much bigger problem than one comic book movie making (the bottom) of the top twenty. Voted for one of hers and it wasn't this.
