Poll Suggestion: IMDb Poll Board's Favorite Movies Directed by Women - Part II

@TheOldJalapenoman​ 

I've set one per user, because I want to keep user's choices serious. It may be a little harsh, so I've set it to 3 per user I keep your 2 suggestions.

Correction: Each director just once. So I only keep one of your suggestions.

@TheOldJalapenoman​ 

I'm not sure if I'm allowed to take 'Triumpf des Willens' on my list, as a German. The movie is banned in Germany, because it praises the Nazi culture. If police finds it by random, you get punished by law in Germany. It's handled very strict. Maybe I can, because IMDb is an American website. I would have to check that first.

@Breumaster​   Triumph of the Will was just listed as a joke.   I knew that the movie was pretty much banned in Germany and it is about the most politically incorrect movie ever made (even if the director was a genius).  

@Breumaster​   You kept the right one with Awakenings.  I give it a slight edge.

@TheOldJalapenoman​ 

I know it was a joke, you wrote it. I just wanted to be clearer for maybe yonger people that don't get if it's real that it's banned. I saw a few snipits of her work when she was young and supported in her work by the Nazis. It was a time in Germany one couldn't say: "I don't want to support you with my work!". That would have been the end of her career and she was young! Many young people found more work then - from worker to professor - because the Nazis deported the jews. The young Germans all wouldn't have given up the gift they had from it. That's how it worked. They did very good on one side, the other side had to pay for it.

The snipits I saw were awesome arranged. She was one of the best directors, just at the wrong time. That's why I offered to check if I may, on the other hand - indeed I wouldn't want to see her on the list, because her work of necessity provided Nazi propaganda.

She passed 2003 at the age of 101 in Pöcking, a smaller village near Starnberg, like one of the Satelites of Starnberg, which is the richest town in Germany. Starnberg is about 20 kilometers from Munich.

@TheOldJalapenoman​ 

I'm sorry for wiping Awakenings from the list, but Jessica informed me that there also was a part1, so I cannot put Awakenings on the list, because it was on the list of part 1. I've put there A league of their own on the list, which wasn't in the first poll.

@Breumaster​   I actually saw her final film (the first one that she had directed in over 40 years).  It was a documentary on her underwater photography and on sea life.  I really enjoyed it, even though the attached sound track wasn't that good and sometimes overpowered the dialogue.  Had she been an American or a Brit, I wonder what she might have accomplished (and how much more quickly women directors would have been accepted).

@Jessica​ 

Thank you, Jessica, I'll do. I've put the link to your poll on my list.

@Breumaster​ 

Thanks. :)

Please also add Part 2 in the title.

@Jessica​ 

Done. :D

@gromit82​ 

Thank you, Gromit. Added.

For my other two... it is going to be very hard not to have multiple films from the same director if you give us each three choices.  That said, I suggest:

Big (also by Penny Marshall)  1988

Look Who's Talking (also by Amy Heckerling)  1989

@TheOldJalapenoman​ 

When I made the rule, my intention was to give each equal chances. But on the other hand, yo are right, somehow. I will make a compromise and pu the other names in the option. Now limitless, but with only one in all option per director.

@TheOldJalapenoman​ 

Just Awekenings stays out, because it's in part I.

Past Lives (2023)

Anatomy of a Fall (2023)

I will consider, just no time at the moment.

@Jessica​ 

Added. :D

@jaf_ismael​ 

Thank you, jaf. I've put 'What Women Want' and 'Step Up' on the list.

Captain Marvel is from Anna Boden and Ryan Fleck

Impossible to say who did what and how much of it. If it was only she, I would have put her on the list with favor.

@Breumaster​ If so, I will replace it with Winter's Bone (2010)

@jaf_ismael​0

@jaf_ismael​ 

I've put Winter's Bone on the list instead. Btw. I've increased the limit to 5 director-picks per user. Just if you want.

If I can have two more choices, here are my suggestions:

Little Women (1994) -- Gillian Armstrong

Zero Dark Thirty (2012) -- Kathryn Bigelow

@Breumaster​ i pick  Wonder Woman (2017) and Black Widow (2021) , thank u

@gromit82​
