My 100 Favorite Films Directed By Women

This list isn't done and will definitely change.

It's mostly ranked now, but I hate rankings especially since there are many films I haven't seen in over 20 years.

Few stats:
*12 Documentaries
*Sadly, 39 films are from the last decade. This is due, in part, to the fact that I haven't seen any of Chantal Akerman's films (and only 1 Wertmuller and Denis).
*I am thrilled to have films from all decades since 1920 in this list.

Using Vanessa's Films By Women list, I have seen 325 of them. I have so many more to see.
