ESSENTIAL FILMS BY WOMEN

IN TIERS, FIRSTLY IN REVERSE YEAR ORDER, WITH AN ELITE TO START. 4th and largest tier in usual year order as i’d originally been arranging the list, now some work to rearrange! Placings based on various polls, lists, selections, awards, ratings etc, especially on Mubi and the latest major international Sight & Sound poll, with leeway for hidden treasures and personal taste.

The list is intended as a manageable selection and a guide for where best to start. Comments, suggestions welcome.
