I'm not the biggest film person, but I do watch a lot of TV and some movies on Netflix. In my reading life, I read women almost exclusively, but I assumed similarly limiting my movie consumption would be all but impossible. It turns out, per this blog post by Cinema_Fanatic Marya Gates, it's possible. Gates watched over 300 movies in 2015. With Gates's permission, I've copied her list, alphabetized it and bolded the films you can stream on Netflix (as of 1/2/16).

Gates's post includes a month-by-month description of her movie-watching and woman filmmaker advocacy. She has a related post from "Noirvember" about films written by women.
Someone do something like this for TV, okay? In TV it's more about the writer than the director, right?
