"GIVE ME A GOOD MOVIE MADE BY A WOMEN"

And this is why you fail at grammar. It's "woman" not "women." Idiot.

You forgot or you don't know Kathryn Bigelow - Point Break (1991)?
Mimi Leder - The Peacemaker (1997)

I like both movies SJT directed.

Ida Lupino, Penny Marshall, Jane Campion, Amy Heckerling, Lisa Cholodenko, Ava DuVernay, Nancy Meyers. All examples of very talented filmmakers who are also women. Are you a fan of Game of Thrones? Michelle MacLaren has directed several episodes, along with episodes of The Walking Dead, Breaking Bad, and The X-Files. The difference is women have to fight 10x harder to get their vision across because studios don't trust them to direct, and they're so rarely given the chance to prove themselves. But you can't just say "women can't direct" when there's so much evidence to the contrary. I didn't even have to do any research to tell you this.

American Psycho
Behind The Red Door
The Hurt Locker (hated the ending, but still a good movie)

Sadly, there are not many female directors I know about, which is actually really sad. But I think part of the reason is because Hollywood even today is so unacceptable of female directors, and if one gets through at all it's only dumb quick-cash chick flicks and such. There are plenty of movies I like where a woman has written the script though. And I remember my joy when I saw "Mary Harron" pop up in the Oz credits.
That said, you are an ignorant sexist. You can't just come here and say women can't direct. There are plenty of MEN who can't direct either. For example, how the hell was McG and Michael Bay kept their jobs? Or Noah Baumbach, who puts out another *beep* pointlessly cruel movie after another.
