Can you think of any films where two women are having conversations that are not about men?

The scene from stepmom where Julia Roberts and Susan Sarandon are talking about the future of the children and the mom says something like I am their past, you are their future.

Pitch Perfect is a great example. Guys are incidental to the story line. I watched this with a friend who explained about the Bechdel test. You can't stop judging stuff by this once you're familiar with it!

I watched the new Star Wars movie and I think there was one (one!) conversation between women in the whole film!

You need the Bechdel Test Movie List.

Not a movie but Rizzoli and Isles (American cop show) has two female protagonists, both of whom are not dependent on men and are successful women (and also very funny).
