Trigger warning: This analysis presumes cisgenderism in human beings in the sense of brain structure regarding attraction.
There is a trick that many movie directors have mastered over time to make certain movies appeal far more to females and others to males. The trick is to do with fashion, angle, lighting, facial/bodily and expression choices in the actors.
Movies that are designed to attract females actually psychologically are more boring for males to watch because of scenes consistently having colours that blend well together and the actors wearing outfits that, again, fit too nicely together. You will often find that when watching a female-targeted movie or series you almost feel like every episode is too visually similar and/or that the way the actors move during the scenes is almost too 'smooth'. This is because the female brain is, for whatever reason, put off (whether they are aroused or not is irrelevant this is about interest and genuinely grabbing their attention.
What females find makes them unable to look away from something tends to be that it is just so smooth and hypnotic.
Males tend to want something rather different but not the opposite. If you analyse male-oriented movies and series, you will find that the ones that really hit big consist of bursts of fluidity followed by 'bam'. It doesn't have to be fighting and action, it can even be a romance movie/series that happens to somehow still pull in a significant male audience (Suits comes to mind). Furthermore, these male-oriented series and movies consist of strong, bold outfits on main characters with the side characters consistently blending into the background. The male brain seems to like this as it makes it easier for them to know 'oh so that's what I should be focusing on.' It actually is why male series tend to have less eye candy than female series, despite the stereotypes. If you watch a series geared towards women, it's extremely difficult to find characters that are ugly or offputting because they would cause imbalance in the general aesthetic, whereas in series geared towards males or gender-neutral appeal, there is generally a balance between attractive and offputting actors (it's politically incorrect to use the term actresses anymore, 'actor' is gender-neutral now).
The reasoning behind this is still unknown to neurologists but it is very consistent. The strangest aspect of this is that songs geared towards women tend to have strong imbalance where the chorus slaps hard but the verses are tender and inconsistent with the chorus' vibe. In contrast, songs geared towards males tend to have the similar vibe and tonality throughout (chorus similar to the verses etc) so it is not as simple as it being a brain difference in a consistent manner, what is apparent is this is specifically to do with sight. I wonder what the reasoning is.

Leopards are by far the most psychopathic wild cat. It is not sociopathy, it is sheer psychopathy.
All wild cats have the 'predator instinct' and can potentially turn on one who feeds or regularly interacts with them but despite tigers being so much bigger and actually so ferocious, as well as lions and panthers, leopards take it to a whole new level in terms of frequency and severity of attacks.
There was a model who is really interested in helping wild animals, she knew about wild cats but not specifically about leopards. Due to this, she judged that since the leopard did not act aggressive to her, she could relax a little around it. This is true for almost all wild cats except for leopards. She turned her back on it for less than 30 seconds and this life-altering event has left her face disfigured, her life almost lost to blood loss, she is a drop in the ocean of leopard-kills-expert.
If scientists pinpoint exactly what is different in leopard brains vs tigers, lions etc, we may be able to literally scan brains of high ranking officials in any line of work and know them to be psychopathic, helping us know not to trust them.
This is controversial indeed but I ask you for a flaw in my theory.
