Hey, flist! Does anyone have any film recommendations? Because while I watch a LOT of TV I hardly watch any films at all, and now that I've run out of TV shows to marathon I thought I'd start watching films instead. :D I'm open to pretty much all genres except horror, and I especially like films that pass the Bechdel test.

Seriously, when I say I hardly watch any films at all I mean that you could recommend me something really mainstream that everyone and their mother has seen, and I probably won't have seen it. So, yeah, any suggestions at all would be appreciated!

PLEASE WATCH CHILDREN OF INVENTION. You probably won't find it online (I haven't searched because I just bought the DVD) because it's like, actually low-budget/indie, but it features cute Asian children... who wake up one day to find their mommy has disappeared and are left to fend for themselves... but the ending is nice! If still kind of sad. But like, it's really good and not racist/makes racial minorities invisible, and if you can actually find it I would recommend watching it.

Although if a girl and her mother don't count as two "women" then it doesn't pass the Bechdel test, but they don't talk about boys and stuff.

I think "women" in the Bechdel test just means females, they don't have to be adults, so it sounds like it definitely counts! I just had a quick search and could only find a cam version but I'll keep it in mind and try and find a better version if I can.
