The pink wave has yet to crest, the 'Barbie' movie has sold more than a billion dollars worth of tickets at the global box office, after just 17 days on general release. The milestone makes #GretaGerwig the first woman to reach the such heights as a solo director.

Barbie may be the most profitable but the Matrix and the Matrix Reloaded are still the best female directed movies.

Technically they were not considered themself female during the films. So it was directed by two guys.
