Femme Film List

People just love their lists. The one thing a good list spawns is just more lists. List, list, list, list. Keep on listing. The recent 10th anniversary of [AFI's 100 Greatest Movies List] is always a good way to piss off the list lovers. And this year, it got the gals in the [Alliance of Women Film Journalists](http://awfj.org/) all fired up to come up with their own list.

You see, of the 400 nominees for the list, only 4.5 were directed by women. Of the 100 who made it to the AFI list, none were directed by the ladies. So AWFJ polled and tallied their own pool of opinionated cinephiles and came up with their own [list]. It's in alphabetical order so, although Citizen Kane still shows up, Orson is no longer at the top of the heap (that honor goes to The Accused, which won Jodie Foster her first acting Oscar and was directed by Jonathan Kaplan). Most interesting is films like Jane Campion's [An Angel at My Table](http://imdb.com/title/tt0099040/), Julie Taymor's [Frida](http://imdb.com/title/tt0120679/) and Sofia Coppla's [Lost in Translation ](http://imdb.com/title/tt0335266/)make it on the AWFJ list. It's all rounded up with [Working Girl](http://imdb.com/title/tt0096463/) (1988).

So get ready for the male mafia to come out with an even beefier list to smack down this one with a women-centric approach. In the meantime, start filling up that Netflix cue...
