You know i dont think i know a good film that was directed by a woman...

There was that war film that was directed by james cameron's wife back in 2008 or 9 i think thats about it

Edit
Just googled it and out of the best 25 movies directed by a woman ive seen 2 american psycho (which is really good) and clueless lol

^ Kathryn Bigelow has done a few good movies imo

One of my favourite movies back in the day and still a great movie imo

^^
Yeah thats james camerons ex wife shes like the only good one lol

The Hurt Locker is what you're meaning. I've had a google for female directed films, here those I've seen and really liked.

^
Kathryn Bigelow also made Zero Dark Thirty and the classic Point Break (as Skyline mentioned), she's made others I like, but The Hurt Locker is her best imo.
There's Fast Times at Ridgemont High and Clueless (as you've mentioned) from Amy Heckerling, The Virgin Suicides and Lost in Translation from Sofia Coppola and Selma from Ava DuVernay. Sofia has made other stuff I've enjoyed too, like The Bling Ring.

Plus a shout out to Jane Goldman, she written some good screenplays/films. Kick-Ass, X-Men: First Class, X-Men: Days of Future Past, Kingsman: The Secret Service, Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children and The Woman in Black.

There are probably others (writers, producers and directers), but I couldn't be arsed checking tbh, but there are some good women behind the scenes.

Anyway, I don't think Patty Jenkins is bad (WW is really good), she just jumped the shark on WW84.

Totally agree with jane goldman them 2 xmen films are great probably the best written of the series.
As ive said before dc really need a leader with a vision like what marvel has with kevin feige they seem to just hope for the best

Also is double standards with that “rapey” body takeover thing, that Male character was simply called “Handsome Man” if that was the other way round where it was a woman who was simply called “Hot Woman” who was objectified etc there would be mass outage & calls for WW84 to be boycotted and protests at cinemas

Its double standards with a lot of things mate this whole outrage/cancel culture is ruining so much stuff and peoples lives all through social media its ridiculous like that 35 year old teacher who banged a 15 year old boy and got off with it... if that was the otherway around the guys life would be over but hey ho

this is i realy good film with lots of acton oing on 8/10

Knight Rider 2000

Totally different from the series and totally losses the magic and charm of the tv series.
The new KITT just looks cheap and doesn’t have same classic style as the old Trans Am, haven watched anything as boring since Iron Man 2 and Thor Dark World, even the music is music isn’t great which was done by Jan Hammer and Star Trek actor James Doohan doing you guessed it a Star Trek joke, overall it’s terrible. It just doesn’t feel like Knight Rider at all just feels like a 90’s cheap movie and not even a turbo boost which was always part of the show so disappointing.

The way they dealt with Devon Mills was absolutely disgusting.

Wonder Woman 1984

A special kind of bad, as others have already mentioned.

Risible plot, hammy acting, bad CGI, boring villain, and set piece action scenes that, curiously, might have been a good fit for a corny 1984 action movie staring Arnold or Stallone.

The DC “universe” is beyond saving.

They should cease and desist all new movies. Wait two years. Then start again.
