Edit for readability:

Lower ranking is better, as in "rank 1" would be the best movie rated by that group.

The top section shows movies highly ranked by women, but lower for men. The bottom section is the reverse.

Fight Club? I'm surprised. That's like the ur-masculinity movie, even if it is a critique.

When you hug onscreen with a guy called Bitch Tits and sob your heart out, I can easily imagine many women are going to be mesmerized by such a strange glimpse into the mysterious male dynamics of it all.
Fight Club may be a lot of things, but it most certainly is NOT a macho, Lawrence Of Arabia or Michael Bay-style testosterone ride.

Okay but Lawrence of Arabia is supercharged with homoerotic subtext, doesn't it get bonus points for that

Similar ratings doesn’t mean good ratings. Fight Club might be controversial overall, with plenty of people either hating it or loving it and having it go over their head or not.
