Umm. Every single one of them? You're obviously not a sexist pig like me because my two favourite movies don't actually pass it. Terminator 2 – Umm, when Sarah Connor invades Myles Dyson’s house near the end I think she might briefly talk to his wife? Although it was probably about her husband and I’m not sure she was even named in the movie anyway (Wiki says her name is Tarissa Dyson) so I think this fails the test. The Warriors – Total sausage fest. Mercy only interacts with guys. And The Lizzies are only there to lure the Warriors in before trying to kill them, they don't talk to each other at all really. |

More films fail this than I'd have thought. Especially ones I like.
Predator and Die Hard also fail the test I think. And Gwyneth Paltrow I'm pretty sure is the only real female character in Se7en so that fails too.
At least the first Terminator passes due to Sarah's interactions with her roommate in the beginning.

Damn. If I really pushed it, maybe. The Jerk, The Princess Bride, and Monty Python all pretty much fail.
