Pete:

Edited my earlier post to answer your question on the English Patient.

I imagine that you would place it pretty high on the gender bias list.

lol, well that's entirely possible.

If you're alluding to The Hunger Games, you might do well to consider the fact that, if anything, it's kind of a critique of violent entertainment, if anything (at least in part).

It would be if you had intelligent people watching it. As is, it's mostly a bunch of girls who get their excitement deciding which of their favourite's the female lead will end up dating in the end.

In a typical episode of Doctor Who, I've noticed, the female companion will usually have some sort of conversation with another female character about how the companion has a crush on the Doctor, but the Doctor doesn't even think of her that way.

Are you saying that feminists are not happy with the portrayal of these conversations?

Because I always assumed these kind of conversations were put in movies and TV shows for the benefit of the female audience, since they bore the hell out of me.
