Women's History Month!

Cinebuds - A podcast by Radio Milwaukee - Wednesdays

Categories:

We don’t exactly keep rock-solid statistics for this sort of thing, but to the best of our recollection, this episode of Cinebuds sets a new land-speed record for sheer number of movies mentioned in a single episode. Given the topic, that shouldn’t come as a surprise.In addition to being a Cinebud, Dori Zori is 88Nine’s morning host and — this next one is an unofficial title — queen of the station’s International Women’s Day programming. She got that particular tradition started a decade ago, putting her passion for female, femme and female-identifying artists on the air for all to hear.So you know we weren’t going to let March pass by without a Cinebuds episode devoted to impactful women in the movie industry. Dori and Kpolly name drop more than 30 films during their chat, in addition to giving general co-signs to the work of Marlene Dietrich and Katharine Hepburn. They also point out a few individuals who may not be quite as well-known to movie lovers, like film editor Thelma Schoonmaker, who has worked alongside director Martin Scorsese for more than five decades.We did our best to collect all the movies they mentioned and sort them in the lists below. Take a look at your options and host your own screening this March and all year round.Women’s History Month moviesStarring roles9 to 5, starring Dolly Parton, Lily Tomlin and Jane FondaCoffy, starring Pam Grier (showing at the Oriental Theatre from March 20-22)Stormy Weather, starring Lena HorneGaslight, starring Ingrid BergmanA League of Their Own, starring Geena DavisPrivate Benjamin, starring Goldie HawnStar Wars: Episode IV – A New Hope, starring Carrie FisherDirector’s cutThe Future, directed by Miranda JulyKajillionaire, directed by Miranda JulyMe and You and Everyone We Know, directed by (and starring) Miranda JulyCertain Women, directed by Kelly ReichardtFirst Cow, directed by Kelly ReichardtYou Were Never Really Here, directed by Lynne RamsayLemon, directed by Janicza BravoZola, directed by Janicza BravoThe Hurt Locker, directed by Kathryn BigelowThe Fire Inside, directed by Rachel MorrisonBehind the scenesThe Departed, edited by Thelma Schoonmaker (showing at the Oriental Theatre on March 25)Black Panther, cinematography by Rachel MorrisonFruitvale Station, cinematography by Rachel MorrisonDope, cinematography by Rachel Morrison
