Oooh! Ursula is a fantastic pick and my personal favorite author. Even if we decide on something that's a re-read for me from her I'd call it a good problem. And if not, all the better!
What I had in terms of serious movies was "Women Talking", which is an entire cast of women and a single man who barely speaks. Set in an amish community where the women have been systematically drugged and SA'd. Tragically based off real events, but a fantastic film. Given the subject matter I wouldn't blame anyone who would pass on it but it is one that prompts a lot of discussion.
