What do you think of when you think of films by female film directors?

I'm trying to guage what the majority of film goers think for my own curiosity. If you don't like any of the selections write it instead.

I think of a woman in the director's seat. Not much else.

The only time I actually was aware of the gender of the director of a film was when somebody told me the Hurt Locker was directed by a woman. Otherwise it's just a name.

I base a movie on its trailers and its predeccessors if its a sequel or something. not the Director.

Is it really a big deal if the director is female? Really?? That's like being amazed that, yes, there are, in fact, females who play video games.

Exactly. I don't care if the director has a vagina penis or something inbetween. If the movie's good, I'll watch it.

[QUOTE="MonoSilver"] Same here. It doesn't make me think any differently of a film.MonoSilver

That was ony a joke :P Point was, it doesn't matter to me, make a good movie and I'll enjoy it.

I have no idea.

Only one that comes to mind

Point Break and American Psycho.

I wonder what the hell happened to Mimi Leder, she could've been just as good as Bigelow.

All interesting answers. I wasn't thinking so much about quality of the films but that's certainly a factor. i was thinking more along the lines about if/how the same film being directed by a male director be different if directed by a female. The reason being, I have a theory that because about 90% of films are being made by males and that because only about 10% of films are directed by women then we as film gowers "aren't hearing both sides of the 'potential movie' story" if you will.

Uwe Boll

Wish there was more to get a proper perspective on how woman directors differ on average to males.

Akin  to how there are subtle differences in writers (woman on average tend to have a bigger focus on internal conflict & character interaction)

Unfortunately, woman directors are a micro minority in Hollywood.

I'm a little surprised. 

I'm not a movie conniseour who like watches the stuff going on at the cannes festival, and the art house films.

just whatever gets sent to the cinema. 

I mean sitting and thinking about what  female directors to begin with is hard enough, can only think of Bigelow that's it. Almost all the the directors of movies i've seen and/or liked have been by men. 

I think of marie antoinette, lost in translation and helter skelter.

All of the above are interesting, but the pace of the movie is not my thing.

Tbh most of the time when I watch a movie I don't even know the director's name let alone their gender (like hell if I'm reading the credits :P).

For some reason I think of marshalling pennies. Not sure why though.
