For your consideration: Sweet Land directed by Ali Selim Nelly and Monsieur Arnaud directed by Claude Sautel Manon of the Spring directed by Claude Berri Bride of Frankenstein directed by Whale Vertigo directed by Alfred Hitchcock Intimate Strangers directed by Patrice Leconte Love what you've listed already though.

glaring omission, i've never seen "mouchette" and despite that bresson is one of my favorite directors. it's not like there are a thousand and one bresson retrospectives around portland (or) anyway, great suggestion, do you have a list of great women films?

No film by Bresson? I would suggest to add either "Mouchette", "A Gentle Woman" or "The Trial of Joan of Arc".

totally agree, leaving off most of cassavettes ouevre is a major oversight on my part. i like almodovar but he's never sunk in for me. thelma and louise, yeah, that would make a list like this. anyone else?

Thelma and Louise - not a female filmmaker of course (ridley scott) but quite a work...

I was just thinking about this. I just saw "Precious," and realized you never strong, multiple female performances, let alone strong female performances... though, I might consider adding "A Women Under the Influence?" Or howzabout "An Unmarried Woman." Plus, almost anything by Almodovar has been good to women.
