10 Famous Films That Surprisingly Fail the Bechdel Test

The Bechdel Test, if you're not familiar with it, is a benchmark for movies developed by Alison Bechdel in 1985. For a movie to pass The Bechdel Test, it must contain just one thing – a scene in which two or more named female characters have a conversation (that is, back and forth dialogue) about anything at all besides men. Anything, even if it's something stereotypically feminine, like shopping or shoes. It could be about dog poo. It doesn't matter.
