Most of the titles on that list were aimed at males.
There is a gender bias in movies, based largely on the expectations of what male/females are supposed to like.
The idea that a woman would want to see an action film like Aliens Vs Predators in Hollywood is laughable - it is a man's movie. Women prefer tear jerkers, romance comedies.
It is based on gender 'programming' and not on real tastes. But then Hollywood aims to please as many of the target population and I fear women do tend to like their emotional movies over action backed ones.

I am a bit suspicious that all of those films fail I just don't know the movies well enough to dissagree completly.
home alone - considering he has two sisters, and his mother is racing around the country I highly doubt there is no conversation between two women.

I don't know. I mean, in the Lord of the Rings Defense, I mean, the Lord of the Rings had a woman slay a dragon - come on, a girl slew a dragon, that's not sexist. In the movie District 9, pretty much that South African scientist guy and that insect alien were the main characters, and the alien was a female, most of the other characters aside from them were evil. I don't really see why we should judge The Shawshank Redemption, I mean, Stephen King is a man and he's written books with female characters (who were at least semi-normal) who congregate with each other, like in Needful Things. It was in a male prison, where much more violence occurs than in female prisons.
I personally love Bones. I also love the character Olivia on Law and Order, though unlike Bones there aren't other female characters for her to normally talk with. Clarice Starling, gotta love her. Lisa Simpson. Donna Pinciatti.

Come to think of it some of William Shakespeare's plays like Romeo & Juliet and A Midsummers Night Dream passes the test rather nicely.
