The first part of the list are films that have
core themes and values that are of distinct interest to women - not
exclusively but certainly, and some that had serious marketing
dollars behind them. As we muse over what makes a 'woman's film' on
these pages, they are good films to consider.
The second part of the list are films you may have missed, most
having opened and closed because they couldn't hold onto the
theaters. Films without marketing dollars, films unable to shout
above the noise, films unable to compete with the presently defined,
noisy blockbuster. Films, dare we say, that other things to say,
explore, celebrate than even the well-made noisy film. No one knew
to run to the theaters to see these films. In the present day
atmosphere, the opening weekend gross has become the determinant of
whether a film is 'good' or not. Not true and we have to say it. We
have to mobilize to compete on behalf of films which are worth our
time and valuable and never set out to be 'blockbuster' of this sort.
We need to embrace their DVD as our release -- find and rent or buy
these films so that they live.
All of these films are available for purchase on Amazon.com, and
available to rent on Netflix.
