P/f is whether the movie passes the Bechdel Test. There must be 1) Two female characters 2) who talk to each other, 3) about something besides a man.
Passing doesn't make a good movie or a feminist one. Failing doesn't mean a bad movie. I find this an interesting measure of roles for women.

40) They Died with Their boots on: George Custer is in trouble from his first day at West Point until the day he dies in Montana. Rather revisionist history, making him out to be more of a decent human being than he was. Olivia Dehavilland is luminous as always. Hattie McDaniel is brilliant. (p)
41) King Kong (remake): Nothing new in this retelling, just a beaky Adrien Brody being much too hot. Idiot Plot moments abound.(f)
42) Shreck 2 (rewatch): Love this. An ogre gets turned human to thwart the plans of a selfish fairy godamother. (p)
43) X-Men (rewatch): Mutants deal with a mutant registration act about to be passed. The slash is strong with this one. "Why do you ask questions to which you already know the answers?" (f, 2)
44) X3 (rewatch): Magneto takes the war with humanity to the next level. Much love for Beast. But i still think Magneto has it right... (Now I must go write Nick... "I would have killed the professor for you." GUH!) (p)
