The MoFo Top 100 Films Directed By Women Countdown:
Preliminary Thread
Yep, we're doing this.
The usual countdown rules apply. Make a list of 25 of the best and/or your favourite films and send them in by 11:59 p.m. AEST on March 31st. Lists may or may not be accepted after that deadline depending on how I'm feeling.
Now, in keeping with how this countdown focuses on a markedly different criteria to the previous countdowns, there was one issue that was cause for much debate and discussion in the earlier thread - the question of how to accommodate films that were co-directed by both male and female directors. It felt like including such films might dilute the importance of focusing on films directed solely by women, but excluding them also felt like it would invalidate the work of the female co-directors in these particular teams. After much deliberation and discussion, I have ultimately decided that the countdown will focus exclusively on films where the directors are female.
Other than that, not many other ground rules to cover. Per the earlier discussion, any films that have been directed by transgender women are eligible for voting (this extends to films that were made prior to their coming out as transgender, so yes, you can vote for The Matrix). Anthology films with more than two directors of different genders will be approached on a case-by-case basis, but I expect them to be outliers. If there's any other considerations I've missed, please feel free to mention them.
With all that out of the way, let's make some lists.
EDIT: Now including a list of users who have submitted eligible ballots...
