Edit for readability:

Lower ranking is better, as in "rank 1" would be the best movie rated by that group.

The top section shows movies highly ranked by women, but lower for men. The bottom section is the reverse.

Seems like men prefer movies that fail the Bechdel-Wallace test.

15 Movies from the lower list fail. 5 movies pass: Dangal, Unforgiven, M, Blade Runner 2049 and Double Indeminity.

From the upper list, 19 movies pass. Brokeback Mountain fails.

American Pie 2 passes that test, for anyone who thinks passing it actually means anything, lol.

Thank you for pointing this out. It's a terrible measure of anything. At least it's a conversation point I guess.

What a stupid thing to say.

Passing it does not mean that its not an otherwise stupid movie.

It's about the representation of women, nothing else.

Brokeback mountain could argue for qualified immunity.

The lower list was women preferred, though...

EDIT: No, sorry, higher number means worse lol mb

It's not women prefered, it's women liked much more than men. It's not about real preferences, it's about the greatest differences.

[โ€“] finitebanjo@lemmy.world 2 points 4 weeks ago (1 children)

Its not that they preferred it but that they (definition of the term preferred) it.

[โ€“] angrystego@lemmy.world 1 points 4 weeks ago

Ah, yeah, I get the meaning now, thanks!

Most of those movies on the bottom list are outside the top 100. Go look at the billboard top 200 songs and tell me if any Americans prefer songs listed at 155 or something.
