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.

    The Harry Potter films are very much British, not American, so the women’s list isn’t entirely American.

      Obviously they are very British in nature, but it was produced by Warner Bros. which would classify it as an American production.

        Heyday Films, which also produced them, is British. And they were filmed in the UK with British producers and predominantly British actors and crew.

        They’re definitely not 100% British but I‘d argue, they’re more British than American.

          My point wasn’t how American they are, just that they aren’t the kind of thing that would get thrown into a foreign films section. The cultural barriers between these movies and American audiences are almost nonexistent. Basically no one who consumes movies coming out of Hollywood is going to turn their nose up at Harry Potter the way a lot would for something like Seven Samurai, Rashomon, or Taare Zameen Par.

            Oh yea, absolutely. Not arguing with that. I‘m just being pedantic for the sake of it. (After all, you did add „I think“ after saying they’re all American)

          Didn’t they deny Robin Williams a role because he’s not British? I vaguely recall reading that somewhere.
