The Sound of Music qualifies under the Bechdel Rule.

This prompted me to look at my collection for a movie that fit. I got halfway along the shelf before I found one: Iolanthe, which opens with Celia, Leila, and Fleta discussing Iolanthe's banishment.

I've been going over the last few movies I saw. Kissing Jessica Stein passes, obviously, with all the discussions of hot girl-girl action. The Hours passes easily - Virginia Woolf has a tendency to do that sort of thing. The last episode of the first season of Buffy passes - Buffy and Willow discuss vampires, Willow and Miss Calendar discuss vampires, Willow and Cordelia discuss A/V equipment. The Pride and Prejudice miniseries passes, barely - it's full of women, but they mostly discuss men. It squeaks by on a handful of conversations about travel, scenery, music, clothes, and the scandalous behavior of Lydia Bennett.

The American President - aha. I don't think that one passes. There are serious political women in it, but they save their political arguments for men. They talk to each other about romance. Still, four out of five isn't bad, considering that I didn't do it on purpose.
