this post is only possible because of some idiot who said it was *beep* because a woman directed it. here are some good movies directed by women. American Psycho, Strange Days, Point Break,
shareThe Piano. The Virgin Suicides. High Tide.
It's rather unfortunate that the main realm Hollywood has found for lady directors seems to be the romantic comedies that I can't stand to watch.
Or maybe this is simply the kind of material that female directors are attracted to, much like it is the kind of thing female audiences are attracted to (when compared with men).
"It's just a movie" is no excuse for treating us like idiots!
