You mean me? Kei's cousin?
Great job on this. I would've voted, except I didn't feel qualified to vote since I felt like I should see more films directed by women first; hell, I still have a copy of Lost in Translation I need to watch buried in one of the boxes. Again, great job on this. I see quite a few here I'd vote for and also a few that maybe I should check out.

Yeah yeah, you never actually said "yes please send me my list back" in response to me saying "I can always send your list back" so that's why it didn't happen yet. In any case, I sent it now.

You can't make a rainbow without a little rain.
Of your non-countdown movies I've seen Return to Me, One Day and Waitress. Return to Me is actually one of my mum's favourite movies, alongside Sleepless in Seattle... maybe my mum should have sent a list!

It sounds like your mom has great taste in movies. Return to Me is one of my faves too.

Huh, it seems I didn't even notice that post. Sorry about that.

That's ok, I'm sorry about losing my list twice.

Thanks for doing all this. Got a few viewing tips from it.

Sorry for the delay; websiting is hard.

Top 100 Films Directed By Women

Lemme know ASAP if you notice anything amiss.
The ones I've noticed so far:

"Harlan County U" where Harlan County, U.S.A. should be.

It lists the 1975 Night Moves when it should list the 2013 Night Moves.

Raw is from 2016, not 2013.

And, of course, the wrong Chocolat is listed.



Thanks, I'll have those all fixed this afternoon. You all might want to hold off on updating your lists until then, or at least re-check after.



Okay, I think those should all be fixed now. You guys might have to re-check if you've already checked the wrong ones (and uncheck the wrong ones in the Movies area).



Women will be your undoing, Pépé

Bright light. Bright light. Uh oh.
Speaking of movies where I was the only one who voted, I'm surprised that I'm the only one who voted for Meshes of the Afternoon. I would've thought that a moderately influential surrealist short from the '40s would've drawn some such attention (especially when Kitchen Sink made the list) so I was a little baffled that it didn't
I would have definitely included Meshes of the Afternoon. if it hadn't been co-directed by her husband Alexander Hammid.
