I couldnt decide so in no particular order
ā¢Bloodsisters (1995):Great documentary about the San Francisco leather dyke scene in the 90s, amazing look into personal dynamics, terminology, you also get to see the 93 Washington gay and lesbian march as well as the Ms. Leather pageant. Michell Handelman truly preserved something special
ā¢Wojnarowic:F**k you f*ggot f**ker(2020)- a pretty recent doc that truly shows the brutality of the Regan administration to the gay community during the AIDS crisis and also give roses to one of the most criminally underrated artist of that time. The title is also pulled directly from Davidās paintings born from a homophobic doodle he found on the sidewalk.

i actually donāt think i have a singular favorite queer movie but iām recing pride since it is lesser-known (despite having a great cast!). itās 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 (gayās 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 recād before) is also a favorite. bodies bodies bodies, bottoms, jenniferās body, and but iām a cheerleader as well!

anyone who hasn't seen this, i don't care about the list you have in ur notes app, watch this one next.
about a gay rights group (comprised of flaming gays) in 80s london who support this tiny welsh town over the course of the the miners strikes. its a true story and they portrayed it in such an earnest way. its funny, and it hammers at your heartstrings big time.
cannot recommend enough

The biggest rec I could give if you donāt use it already, is use Tubi! They have so much available for free with ads. They also have pretty robust documentary section most of the time. They seem to have quite a few queer culture related documentaries which I very much appreciate.
Here are some documentaries I have watched on Tubi that I like:
The Big Lonely (devastating)
Drag Becomes Him
Dirt Woman
Desert Coffee
The Wolf Pack
Dear Zachary
Dr. Delirium and the Edgewood Experiments
Who Do You Want Me to Be?
Warriors of the Discotheque
Glory Daze (not the movie)
MarJoe
The Dog
