Tonight I decided to go through my movie library and watch something I’ve never seen before. In recent months I’ve had a policy of picking movies that have >= 50% women on the cover. I’m generally content to ignore for new releases, date night, whatever. But this week I’m alone.
-
Being that I’m totally undecided and not seeking anything out, I’ve added a couple rules: - no romcoms (no hate, just too much of a shoehorn) - no movies driven by two women *fighting over* a man or centered on straight people in a relationship swap
-
I’ve definitely noticed a pattern in the movies that fit those criteria. Opera, horror, “girl” in the title of a movie about an adult woman, Bond girls, wow a lot of horror, teenagers.

Huge, massive disclaimer that, again, this is _my personal movie library_ and only the movies I haven’t seen so I’m not necessarily extrapolating it to the whole of movies. But the pattern as I was scrolling became REALLY clear.
