Mo Movie Measure Meme

First seen with linarys, the Mo Movie Measure:

The Mo Movie Measure: It’s and idea from an old Dykes to Watch Out For cartoon. The character “Mo” explains that she only watches movies in which 1) there are at least two female characters with names, who 2) talk to each other sometime in the course of the movie, about 3) something other than a man. It’s amazing how few movies can pass the Mo Movie Measure.

The more I think about it, the more movies I can come up with - although there aren't a lot of action ones

- Legally Blonde
- While You Were Sleeping
- Princess Diaries
- Pride and Prejudice
- Jane Eyre
- Northanger Abbey
- Midsummer Night's Dream

ETA, now that I am looking at my collection:
- Spiderman 1 & 2
- Shrek 2
- 9 to 5
- Mrs 'arris Goes to Paris
- Chicago
- Auntie Mame
- Mame
- Gypsy
- Sister Act 1 & 2

I'd make an argument for Mrs. Doubfire and To Wong Fu Thanks For Everything, but my tongue would be in my cheek
