Bad Women

Pick say five films with bad women and explore the ways in they are bad (dangerous, sexually uncontrolled by men etc) and the ways in which the narrative treats them for being bad (repositions, punishes, redeems, celebrates?)

Choose some extracts and use with a focus group of women. Are these women celebrated by a female audience for any aspects of their roles? (ie do women audiences "read against the grain" and produce oppositional reading which refuse the preferred reading?)
