The Unofficial Female Film Canon

[absolutedestiny]

A movie blog that I frequent posted a very interesting list of films with significant female characters

It's a work in progress (and much of it is made by identifying qualifying films in existing top lists) but it's a good read and she's asking for recommendations to expand the list.

Anyway, some great movies and some even better reasons to watch some excellent female characters.

Thanks for the mention, really appreciated. I don't want to seem ungrateful, but I am a she :o It's nice to see people are enjoying the list :)

Of course you are a she! Sorry, that was actually a typo this morning :) I'll fix the post.

Excellent blog, keep up the good work!

This reminds me I should re-watch Guide for the Married Man and analyze it as a time capsule of sex comedies from the swingin' sixties.
