List of films that pass Bechdel on more than a technicality?

TheoGB [Edit] [Delete] 11:06, 4 March '15

Just interested, really.

I'm pretty sure that if any of the films I own on DVD (which probably covers 90% of the films I've enjoyed most) passes Bechdel then it'll be because of a three line conversation between the only two named female characters or something.

The Bechdel Movie internet listing doesn't really go farther than pass or fail. I realise that's part of the point of the test but it would be nice to know if someone's followed up with something to make it clear which films go beyond that.

(A mate reckons that all the recent Marvel films pass but literally because someone has doctored the script to this end, providing just that necessary bare minimum conversation.)
