The Bechdel test is short test that is used as a way “to call attention to gender inequality”, and as a challenge to the sexist way that women are under-represented in films. It was introduced in Alison Bechdel's comic strip Dykes to Watch Out For. In a 1985 strip titled "The Rule”, an unnamed female character says that she only goes to a movie if it satisfies the following requirements:
1. The movie has to have at least two women in it,
2. who talk to each other,
3. about something besides a man.
This is a list of the movies currently on IMDb:s top 250 list that pass this test
