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.

Holy shit, the dates on these!
Old movies are men's favorites, new movies are women's favorites.
Maybe this tracks well with the political polarization, rise of fascism, etc: the past was a man's world, and women hated it, the present is a woman's world, or at least parts of it arr, and men hate it, so there are angry men all over trying to turn the clock back to the days when men were men and women were unhappy.
Yeah it's just movies, but they are a product of and reflect the changes in culture.
All things being equal, two of the movies in the men's list are in the top 100 for men. It's not so much that men like old movies but of the old movies that men rank in the hundreds, women don't like those.
Who knows what men and women's "number one" movie is and what the Delta is there.
If someone asked you to name your top 100 ~ 150 movies but not the top 100, you'd be confused and just throw some shit up there that you vaguely recall looking. Like, I'd probably be scraping the bottom of the barrel by the time I got to sixty, let alone one hundred. This chart by no means represents a longing for male dominated classic cinema - just that men recall liking things that are regarded as classic. This chart just says that men don't like The Blindside and they're right for that.
