i actually don’t think i have a singular favorite queer movie but i’m recing pride since it is lesser-known (despite having a great cast!). it’s based on a true story and highlights a beautiful intersection of the labor and gay lib movements! when i went to london i visited the bookstore from the film (gay’s the word).
bound is also a favorite of mine! :) i recently watched saving face and loved that one too. the incredibly true adventures of two girls in love (which i have rec’d before) is also a favorite. bodies bodies bodies, bottoms, jennifer’s body, and but i’m a cheerleader as well!
The first titles that come to mind are Rotting in the Sun & All of Us Strangers. Both a bit dark and different than the films you mentioned though. I also heard Passages is pretty good and pretty sexy. When it comes to lesbian films I’d recommend Blue is the Warmest Colour in case you haven’t seen that yet. If you’re up for starting a new series: It’s a Sin.
here are some lgbtq+ films i have seen recently, some i liked more, some i liked less but most of them left a lasting impression on me which i think is great. here they are: - kokomo city (usa, 2023) (if you were to watch only one of these please watch this one)
- peafowl (south korea, 2022)
- elephant (poland, 2022)
- fireworks (italy, 2023)
- without air (hungary, 2023)
