As such, this broad and prehensive list clus films that al wh or feature signifint LGBTQ+ characters or issu, and may have same-sex romance or relatnships as an important plot vice. The films on the list e om all over the world and they ver the whole spectm of the LGBTQ+ experience. FAQ ▻ How did this list e about? Like everyone else here, I love watchg movi general and, like a few others, LGBTQ+ movi particular. As happens, I uldn’t fd a prehensive list of LGBTQ+ films that tly satisfied me anywhere I looked, so I cid to create one right here, on Letterboxd, Febary 2018. Sce untls LGBTQ+ entri happened to be missg om the TMDB database at the time, took me a uple of months to build the list, and I’m que happy wh the rult as stands today, although ’s still a work progrs sce I’m nstantly addg new tl; not only new releas but smaller films that might have been overlooked along the way. ▻ What kd of films are clud on your list? Generally speakg, films that will likely appeal and speak to LGBTQ+ dienc.

Published 1981, before the Inter ever existed, The Celluloid Closet was a groundbreakg book about the portrayal of homosexualy film. You n check Alex’s The Celluloid Closet (Revised Edn) page for a plete list of entri featured that particular book. • Screengs at notable LGBTQ+ film ftivals om around the world. • Books I personally own, like Raymond Murray’s Imag the Dark: An Encyclopedia of Gay and Lbian Film and Vio & Blood Moon's Gui to Gay and Lbian Film: The World's Most Comprehensive Gui to Recent Gay and Lbian Movi or Inter talogu Fabric Pradas’s Céma gay: un siècle d'homosexualé sur grand écran, and others. • Wikipedia lists and relevant IMDB keywords such as gay, lbian, bisexual, and more. • Amazon Prime, notably the ''Ctomers who watched this em also watched'' feature, which - surprgsgly enough - featur a ton of smaller LGBTQ+ films. • CGiii’s database. The folks at CGiii like to boast themselv as ‘’the most prehensive LGBT film se the entire Universe’’, and I have to adm that they have a solid and thorough database that clus films the Gay, Lbian, Bisexual, Trans, Intersex and Mor Intert tegori. * gay movies letterboxd *
