<p>Films I watched that deal with historical events, or films where the plot moves in a certain historical period and such period holds some relevance to the plot. <br />Films where, regardless of the plot, you learn some history.</p>

<p>[after his parents have left, thinking he is ill]<i> "They bought it. Incredible! One of the worst performances of my career and they never doubted it for a second. How could I possibly be expected to handle school on a day like this? This is my ninth sick day this semester. It's getting pretty tough coming up with new illnesses. If I go for ten, I'm probably gonna have to barf up a lung, so I'd better make this one count. The key to faking out the parents is the clammy hands. It's a good non-specific symptom. I'm a big believer in it. A lot of people will tell you that a good phony fever is a dead lock, but, uh, you get a nervous mother, you could wind up in a doctor's office. That's worse than school. You fake a stomach cramp, and when you're bent over, moaning and wailing, you lick your palms. It's a little childish and stupid, but then, so is high school." - Ferris Bueller in</i> <a href="http://letterboxd.com/film/ferris-buellers-day-off/" rel="nofollow">Ferris Bueller's Day Off</a></p><p><i>"Dear Mr. Vernon: We accept the fact that we had to sacrifice a whole Saturday in detention for whatever it was we did wrong. But, we think you're crazy to make us write an essay telling you who we think we are. You see us as you want to see us: in the simplest terms, in the most convenient definitions. But, what we found out is that each one of us is: a brain . . . <br />Andrew Clark: And an athlete . . . <br />Allison Reynolds: And a basket case . . . <br />Claire Standish: A princess . . . <br />John Bender: And a criminal. <br />Brian Johnson: Does that answer your question? <br />Sincerely yours, <br />The Breakfast Club."</i> - <a href="http://letterboxd.com/film/the-breakfast-club/" rel="nofollow">The Breakfast Club</a></p><p>There is something about a good coming-of-age story. I can never get enough of these films. A lot of these movies are my guilty pleasures. I would not necessarily admit to liking some of these movies in public, but I can relate to many of the characters and there is a bit of nostalgia in a lot of these films that take me back to my younger days, when life was simple (at times). There is also a connection that I established with many of these movies to periods in my life, which also enrich my viewing experience. I hope you enjoy and make the most of of this list, even if you only find one or two movies on here that you never saw and find it worth a watch. This list is in no particular order.</p>

<p>According to Susan Sontag in <i>Notes on Camp</i>, camp is a ‘sensibility that revels in artifice, stylization, theatricalization, irony, playfulness, and exaggeration rather than content’</p><p>(Note: Emilia Perez is on here begrudgingly)</p>

<p>Continuing on from my list of <a href="http://letterboxd.com/soundturnedlow/list/a-film-of-myself-female-coming-of-age-films/" rel="nofollow">Female Coming of Age Films</a>, I want to compile a list of interesting female friendships. As a lady, I do appreciate women interacting realistically and often find myself rating even the most unremarkable film just a tad higher if there's a good depiction of female friendship (bonus if they pass the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bechdel_test" rel="nofollow">Bechdel test</a>, but it's not even a prerequisite for this list). </p><p>The good, the bad, the ugly, let's have it.</p><p>You can find a <a href="http://letterboxd.com/soundturnedlow/list/there-were-never-such-devoted-sisters-sisters/" rel="nofollow">list of Sisters in Film here</a>.</p>

<p>Millions of dollars spent on their budgets and marketing them to millions across the world, these movies (theatrical releases) became blips on actors' résumés. No notable awards, little to no box-office/DVD profits.</p><p>Little to nothing would merit any reference to these films in conversation, except to wonder if anyone remembered them. Good, bad - irrelevant. Utterly forgettable.</p><p>Feel free to suggest potential additions/subtractions.</p><p>I'm sure these films mean something to someone somewhere ... but I can't imagine why.</p>

<p>This is a list of period films organized by the year or decade they were set in. Within each year they are organized oldest to newest by release date. </p><p>I have tried to limit this list to live action period pieces. I have included films with fantasy and horror elements but excluded films that are animated. Films that fall into a grey area (for example set historically but not costumed historically) I simply make a decision on but could probably be swayed by various arguments.</p><p>Nelly (2016) is the film in this list set closest to the present. Any films following that have been added but not yet arranged.</p><p>Please recommend any films I have missed, especially ones set and made outside of England and America!</p>

<p>Must have a woman as its:<br />☑️ lead, co-lead, or subject;<br />☑️ director or co-director; <i><b>and</b></i><br />☑️ writer or co-writer (screenplay, story, or source material).</p><p>If you happen to find the comments open and notice there’s anything missing <i><b>that fits the criteria above</b></i>—particularly non-American films—feel free to let me know. I get a lot of notifications on this list so I seldom reply, but if your suggestion belongs here I’ll add it.</p><p>This list is curated to invite reflection upon women’s perceptions and depictions of themselves and/or other women as they are presented through the medium of cinema, as films made by <i>and</i> about women are among the minority worldwide. For those interested, stats and research into this subject are available on the website of San Diego State University’s <a href="https://womenintvfilm.sdsu.edu/research/" rel="nofollow">Center for the Study of Women in Television and Film</a>.</p><p><b>As of January 2026, this list contains films in 86 languages from 147 countries and over 3,750 directors across a timespan of 121 years.</b> See the <a href="https://letterboxd.com/meagan/list/stuff-by-women-about-women/stats/" rel="nofollow">Stats</a> page for more.</p><p>Special congratulations to @M█████_F██████ (now blocked and thus his comments are hidden) for accidentally summing up more succinctly than I ever could why this list exists, while simultaneously missing the point:</p><blockquote><p>I’m thinking of making a list of films made by men.

<p><a href="https://boxd.it/3ZVxm" rel="nofollow"><b>Check out the official top 100 narrative feature films by women directors list</b></a></p><p><b>FAQ (please read before commenting)</b></p><p><b>1) Why is [movie by male director] on here?</b><br />In most cases (Slumdog Millionaire, The Act of Killing, Out 1, Bela Tarr's movies) there's a female co-director who isn't credited everywhere. When it comes to new movies the reason is often that by the time I added the movie they credited as co-director and the credit was later changed to something else. Most of the time it's explained somewhere in the comments but of course it's possible that I accidentally added something that shouldn't be on here.<br /><b>2) Why is everything pink?????</b><br />It's sorted by colour, which you would notice if you spent more than 10 seconds looking at the list before commenting.<br /><b>3) Why is [movie by trans director] on here?</b><br />Trans women are women, if they made movies before they came out as trans women I'm gonna include it.<br /><b>4) What's the point of this list?</b><br />Female directors are still underrepresented in the film industry and this list is a place to highlight their movies no matter how good or bad they might be. If you want to watch more movies directed by women but are overwhelmed by the amount of movies on here I'd recommend you <a href="https://boxd.it/2qIJg" rel="nofollow">this list.</a><br /><b>5) Do you add shorts?</b><br />No. The list is already long enough as it is. Unfortunately that means I can't include a lot of silent films but I have a separate list for them <a href="https://boxd.it/ZL2G" rel="nofollow">over here.</a><br /><b>6) Do you take recommendations?</b><br />Yes!!</p>
