Favorite LGBTQ+ movies?

@Heather225

Love this question!

Here are some ;

• Call Me by Your Name (7.8)- this is emotionally beautiful, i'd say this is one of the best for me. genre: romance/drama
• Brokeback Mountain (7.7)- this might leave an ache in your heart, but it's absolutely worth watching. genre: romance/western
• Love, Simon (7.5)- coming-of-age, romance, its sweet
• Moonlight (7.4)- beautiful, coming-of-age
• Red, White and Royal Blue (7)- romcom, fluffy, it was fun

other than, you can add- The Half of It, Fireworks(Italian), Handsome Devil, 10Dance(Japanese), My Policeman and yeah, the list goes on. I'm sorry if this was too much :,)

The ratings mentioned above are IMDb

Also if you are thinking about watching a series- you might want to see Heartstopper(8.5) and Young Royals(8.2). Both are young love and coming-of-age tho.

i'd love to know what i shall add to my watchlist as well! 🤍🌈

Hey! So my recommendation is not a movie but a Disney show with great LGBTQ representation called,

"The Owl House" 8.6/10 - IMBD. It's honestly one of my favourite medias, and shows to exist in the animation world. Definitely give it a watch if you like old folk lore witches, and of course cartoons! So sad they cancelled a full s3 because of LGBTQ representation though :(

Also an actual LGBTQ film I love as a Lesbian is, 
"I saw the TV glow" 85% - Rotten Tomatoes. It's interpretation depends on the viewers watch of this indie film. But, it's about exploration of gender identity, and sexualiy. It's a very heartwarming film but also good! :)

Fanfic- 8.9/10 (my rating) Melodrama, Drama, Transgender 

My top 3 LGBTQ+ movies are as thus:

• Happiest Season (2020) - I low-key hated it the first time I watched this movie, but I found myself drawn to it over and over again. Especially during the holiday season! Dan Levy, Kristen Stewart and Aubrey Plaza are three of my favorite queer actors! Now I want nothing more than to watch this every year for XMas!
• Bottoms (2023) - It's so cringe, but I still love it! It's hilarious and dumb in the ways that that my older favorite comedies are, but I connect more with it because...well, lesbians lol
• Imagine Me & You (2005) - I have an interesting relationship to this movie. I saw it before I came out; I thought it was cute, but not meant for me. Now that I have embraced my sapphic nature, it is probably the only romantic movie I have a fondness for! That ending gets me every time!! It's gotten to the point where I read lines with the actors as they say them 😜

Here are some other movies that I love that have ✨ queer vibes ✨ but maybe aren't technically considered LGBTQ+ movies:

• Deadpool & Wolverine (2024) - Firstly, Yuki and Negasonic Teenage Warhead 😍 But also Deadpool's relationships to Yuki and Wolverine have a found family vibe that I love.
• Jennifer's Body (2009) - Has strong "coming out" vibes, but also there are a few moments between Needy and Jennifer.
• Turning Red (2022), KPop Demon Hunters (2025), Frozen (2013) and Belle (2021) - Not strictly LGBTQ+, but they all have strong themes of women embracing who they truly are which I find to be queer-adjacent enough to enjoy in the same way. IIRC, Frozen 2 does have a WLW relationship, but it's been a while and I might've just been reading into it.

Can't wait to see some dope recommendations, y'all!

All of Us Strangers (2023 / Rated R) - It was very sad and I cried. But it was very good. I still think about it a lot. I could relate to the central characters, in different ways.
