Re: What proportion of your ranked movies are by women?

Ha. I was just coming to concede defeat in my efforts to see 10% of the titles in this collection before it reached 5000 films (see previous page). Thought I was still safe to do it gracefully at 4970 films.

I got up to almost 9% before the flurry that started at about 4850. Now at 426/5001, or 8.5%. For my total ratings, 6.6%.

86 new titles total. This includes 9 shorts and 2 Black Mirror episodes, but also several miniseries. (And much more in series televison that I haven't rated.)

Highlights:

The Company of Strangers a/k/a Strangers in Good Company (Cynthia Scott, 1990, Canada) 95
Loyalties (Anne Wheeler, 1987, Canada) 85
Evolution (Lucile Hadzihalilovic, 2016, France) 85
Fallen Champ: The Untold Story of Mike Tyson (Barbara Kopple, 1995, USA, TV, doc) 85
Dance, Girl, Dance (Dorothy Arzner, 1940, USA) 85
Change of Heart (Anne Wheeler, 1985, Canada, TV) 85
Black Mirror: Arkangel (Jodie Foster, 2017, UK, TV) 85
Deep Water (Louise Osmond, Jerry Rothwell, 2006, UK, doc) 80
Z Channel: A Magnificent Obsession (Alexandra Cassavettes, 2004, USA, doc) 80
Variety (Bette Gordon, 1983, USA) 80
Handsome Harry (Bette Gordon, 2009, USA) 75
Nattlek (Mai Zetterling, 1966, Sweden) 75
Artist on Fire: Joyce Wieland (Kay Armatage, 1987, Canada, doc) 75
Empty Suitcases (Bette Gordon, 1980, USA) 70

The most rewarding part was further exploring the work of Anne Wheeler. Bittersweet, though: most of her complex and lovingly made films have never even made it to DVD inside her own country despite being showered with acclaim and awards. This is not an uncommon fate for Canadian filmmakers.

[PeaceAnarchy has corrected me that they were in fact co-directed by a woman]

Interestingly a whopping 15% of them are in my Tier 10. So good job women, please direct more movies.

My top three spots are taken by Lina Wertmuller films, and after that I have stuff by Lynne Ramsay, Margarethe von Trotta (with V. Schloendorff), Vera Chytilova, Kathryn Bigelow, Forugh Farrokhzad, Jodie Foster, Marjane Satrapi, Lotte Reiniger, Elaine May...

134 of 3993, or 3.36%.

Which means up .51% from 4 years ago. Favorites remain Lina Wertmuller and Lynne Ramsay.
I intend to increase that intake further.
