Vintage ladies propaganda

The movies listed for the hot vintage ladies poll Short disclaimer: the movies were submitted and not all checked and might be offensive (es

There are 946 movies on the list, but there were some I could not find on letterboxd that are missing (sorry).

On browser mode/the computer you can Control F to find a specific actress. On mobile or browser you can sort by language, genre, date, etc.

Letterboxd tells you when applicable where you can stream/rent/buy the film as well! (This is not an ad for letterboxd I swear)

Anyone can dm me if there are any mistakes and I'll fix them asap!

I'll share the disclaimer again just in case: these movies are chosen by whoever submitted them and do not mean they are suggested by @hotvintagepoll. I tried to put warnings for really offensive elements on the movies I've seen/could think of but I'm definitely forgetting some and will gladly add warnings on movies that need them (dm me for anything I should add)!

Happy watching!
