It's funny: I have just written a "top ten" as well, but we only have one film in common. That means that it's REALLY been a great year for women's issues in movies, both in front of and behind the camera. I am concerned, however, about Kathryn Bigelow becoming the first woman to win the Oscar for "Best Director," as potentially only the 4th woman ever nominated. My reason: she made the most masculine film of the year. If she wins, I don't think it will do anything for women's issues in film. True, she does prove the the girls can make movies for the boys - in basic terms. But, we need to champion the richness of what our femaleness and our feminism bring to cinema rather than how much we can conform to the standards that already exist. Great list!
