Tell Us Which Movie Most People Never Realized Was Directed By A Woman

Behind every great movie is a great woman with a killer eye.

I'm just gonna cut to the chase, folks: there are some really popular movies out in the entertainment world that are downright brilliant, and do you know why? Because those films were directed by (you guessed it) WOMEN.

So I want to ask you, dear reader: Which movie do most people not know was directed by a woman?

Maybe you grew up absolutely loving The Preacher's Wife, and years later you found out the brilliant woman behind the camera was Penny Marshall.

Or perhaps most people don't know the 2019 comedy Little starring Issa Rae and Marsai Martin was directed by none other than Tina Gordon.

Or maybe you think it's a shame that Debbie Allen's work directing Dolly Parton's Christmas on the Square went unnoticed by fans, and she deserves way more credit.

Whatever it is, we want to know! Tell us which popular movie most people never realized was actually directed by a woman in the comments below.
