Bechdel Test Movie List

There are more than two women in the film: the woman in the 'Singing in the Rain' scene, Alex's mother, the woman in the house with the cats, the two young women who go home with Alex, the psychologist who shows Alex the picture of the peacock, the singer in the pub. There may be others I haven't remembered but there are definitely more than two.

The rule here is that the women must be named.

What a bullshit entry. “A Clockwork Orange” easily passes the test. Let’s see here ...

Criteria 1: There is Miss Weathers, Doctor Branom and Doctor Taylor who all introduce themselves as such.

Criteria 2: The two girls that Alex chats up in the record store (Marty and Sonietta) talk with each other.

Criteria 3: About music, in fact, inquiring which record they should buy.

So now just look up the damn script and correct this preposterous entry already!

I've updated the rating from 0/3 to 3/3.

The previous poster is wrong. The women are not named in the scene, and they don't have a "conversation." One woman asks the other what she's getting and the other does not hear her nor respond. Also, she's mostly talking to Alex's character, who is standing right behind her. This scene does not show the women as actual thinking humans, but as Alex's brainless sex objects.

Kristina Cobb is right. The two women Alex takes home are not having a 'conversation about music', they're lingering at a record stall for long enough for Alex to walk up to them and take them to bed.

This movie does not pass the spirit of the test. The women who talk to rack other have to be named. Alex's blow-up dolls are not named.

First off, the two young women in the record store are named (Marty and Sonietta), though one of the actresses (the one with the line, actually) is not credited in the movie.

Second of all, instead of two women who "talk to each other", we have one women who has one line directed at another. Had Kubrick bothered to write even a single line response ("Uh, yeah, Heaven 17"), then this would have passed. The fact that he couldn't be bothered to do so is telling.

Marty and Sonietta do have a brief exchange in the record store, but they are consulting each other to answer Alex's question, and although may be named in the screenplay, they are not named in the movie itself. It BARELY misses the second criteria, but I believe it does. I don't think this movie passes the test.

I've updated the rating from 3/3 to 1/3.

I disagree with the rating women in this movie are either being raped or killed in most scenes. None have names. The woman holding positions of value or subservient to men Ie a sexy simpleton nurse and a hatchet faced caricature of a board member who has no or very few lines. This doesn’t pass the bechdal test on any level.
