Watched Dark City last night, which was absolutely fab but spectacularly failed the Dykes To Watch Out For movie test. Have been wondering how many recent films pass it, and whether many of us have favourites which fail. I know Attack of the Clones passes, and all the Jurassic park films fail as far as I can recall, but do people have some other examples? And are arty movies worse offenders than blockbusters,or not (Warm Water Under a Red Bridge passes, but a lot of my other favourites don't).
The test is that the film must have
(1) at least two women characters
(2) who talk to each other in the course of the movie
(3) about something other than men.

Dark City is a stunning film; beatiful camera work and sceanary.
Although I have to admit that I didn't realise Richard O'Brian was in it until my 3rd or 4th viewing...
I guess I'll nomiante the following films for the "DTWOF" awards. Although a couple of those are borderline as one of the women isn't a 'major' character.

[1] Which was one of the points of the source of the story, so it doesn't make it bad - just not a DTWOF winner. The movie is bad because of the dialog and acting.

I guess that's true - but I wasn't thinking clearly at the time.
(I actually like CI to be honest; although I find myself liking it progressively less each time I watch it).
