    Here's a bit of a tough one -

    Are there any British films (any year or decade) that have only all-female casts (no males)?

    I suppose there are many films with predominately female casts (like The Gentle Sex) but not that many with no men at all.

    Thanks everyone! No, not adult films, just regular ones that happen to have all-female casts

    Black Narcissus has a predominately female cast, but has significant speaking roles for 3 men as well

    It had an all-female cast, but it wasn't very British

    Top Girls (1991)

    Recently watched this one, filmed for BBC from Caryl Churchill stage-play. It's all-female.

    Are there any that were all-male? Exempting battlefield war movies, which might necessarily be so.

    Ice Station Zebra had nary a woman....... although I'm trying to recall if there might have been a woman in the pub at the start.

    I remember from watching movies as a kid, that even in war movies they nearly always squeezed a woman in someplace, and then the kissing would start.......

    Lawrence of Arabia ...... war/burkhas

    Sleuth ..... good one.... although the whole plot revolved round a woman.......

    Lord of the Flies.......... I daresay girls would have spiced things up somewhat......

    Colditz Story.......... war

    The Bedford Incident ........ war

    The Hill......... war/soldiers
