POSTCARD FROM THE SLOPE: Real Women Like Movies

I found this list and article on a new site (for me) called: Lifestyle Filter. The bloggers, who live in Brooklyn, made OTBKB a Blog of the Day, for which I am quite flattered.

"In this post-feminist world," writes Los Angeles Times staff writer, Carina Chocano, there are 54 films that got it right. The also wrote an accompanying piced called Fettered by a Stereotype that takes aim at the term "chick flick."  Here are the 54 films she thinks get it right:

1930s-1940s

"Private Lives" (Sidney Franklin, 1931, VHS only): A newly remarried
woman winds up in the hotel room adjacent to her newly remarried ex
during her honeymoon.

"Stage Door" (Gregory La Cava, 1937): A young woman fulfills her dream of becoming an actress.

"Holiday" (George Cukor, 1938

One thought on “POSTCARD FROM THE SLOPE: Real Women Like Movies”

  1. Some of these movies are my very favorites! I was especially happy to see “Saving Face” on the list as it was written and directed by someone I know and like, and it didn’t get nearly enough exposure. It’s really good, too! Worth renting or even buying.
