What proportion of your ranked movies are by women?

[Moribunny]

2.85%, which means 77, according to Criticker, but the collection is probably missing some, it includes male/female collaborations, and apparently someone added Bela Tarr movies to the collection because they didn't realize that in Hungary Bela is a male name.

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...

Ágnes Hranitzky is female though and she co-directed those movies..

Yeah, she is amazing. One of my top 5 favorite directors, period. Surprised she doesn't get more acclaim.

308/1789 as listed by Criticker...but I've actually seen more like 4000 films and a number of female directed films not in the collection here so I'd say the true number for me is somewhere around 10% of the films I've seen have female directors. I've made a particular point of it though.

2.8%

Yeah, I'm a male chauvinist pig like that There's two Tier 10 films though; Werckmeister Harmoies and The House Is Black. I should really check out Lina Wertmüller someday though...

This is from my IMDb list which I've been curating since June 2000. It's only in the past couple of years that I have focused more on directors, particularly those in the margins (females, international, people of color, LGBT, etc.).

By the way, director Lexi Alexander published a great piece last month about why women creators in cinema are not recognized as well as men are. http://blogs.indiewire.com/womenandholl ... -gets-real

meh. i haven't really focused on particular groups of directors yet.

I've seen 25 movies in that collection, which would translate to 1.7% of my rankings.

That collection is far from complete, though. A ton of directors from non-English speaking countries are missing. Just off the top of my head I thought of Naoko Ogigami, Lisa Ohlin and Anna Odell.
