Paris Is Burning (directed by Jennie Livingston) documents New York City’s ballroom scene during the late ‘80s and early ‘90s, and the Black and Latine gay and trans ball walkers, queens, and forged families at its heart. Its exploration of gender, sexuality, race, and class has made it a classroom staple, but those featured were living and discuss...

A major contributor to Natasha Lyonne’s legacy as a “straight gay icon,” and an essential part of queer canon, But I’m a Cheerleader (directed by Jamie Babbit and written by Babbit and Brian Peterson) is a slightly surreal story set in a pastel-hued gay conversion camp. Megan (Lyonne), a high school cheerleader, is sent to the camp when her parents...
Maybe Brokeback has become something of a cliché since its record-breaking premiere—but should that stop you from experiencing this piece of cinematic history, and getting a good, gay cry going to boot? Absolutely not. Based upon the short story of the same name from Annie Proulx’s collection Short Range, Brokeback Mountain follows would-be cowboys...
Initially a flop due to a misguided ad campaign attempting to cater a movie about the all-consuming inferno of female “friendship,” mysticism-tinted misogyny, and cannibalizing your friend’s whiny boyfriend to an audience of teenage boys, Jennifer’s Body has become a sapphic cult classic. Starring Amanda Seyfried as the beleaguered Needy, and Megan...
Written and directed by Dee Rees and starring Adepero Oduye as 17-year-old Alike, Pariah is a masterpiece that captures the sweetness and pain of both self-discovery and self-determination. Alike lives a double life, dressing femininely at home under her mother Audrey’s (Kim Wayans) watchful, at-times wrathful eye, and exploring masculine presentat...

As visually striking as it is heartbreaking, Moonlight follows protagonist Chiron, played by Travante Rhodes as an adult, Ashton Sanders as a teen, and Alex Hibbert as a child, through three stages of his life—as a young boy and teenager in Miami, and then as an adult in Atlanta. Written and directed by Barry Jenkins, Moonlight is the first LGBTQ f...
The Handmaiden is first and foremost a supremely unnerving psychological thriller in three parts about forced marriage, sexual exploitation, and a very long con. Set (mostly) in 1930s Japanese-occupied Korea, the film is written and directed by Park Chan-wook. The fact that it’s also a gay love story between Lady Hideko (Kim Min-hee) and her handma...

- Moonlight (2016) Beautifully filmed and deeply moving, Moonlight delicately portrays what it means to be a Black gay man in America. Director Barry Jenkins deftly moves through three chapters in the life of Chiron (Alex R. Hibbert, Ashton Sanders and Trevante Rhodes).
- Portrait of a Lady on Fire (2019) This captivating, passionate love story has as many layers as the paintings made by young artist Marianne (Noémie Merlant) of her subject, Héloïse (Adèle Haenel).
- Paris Is Burning (1991) Considered quintessential viewing for the LGBTQIA+ community, Paris Is Burning is a feature-length documentary that offers up the history of voguing in particular and the New York City drag scene as a whole, all set against the backdrop of rampant transphobia, homophobia, racism, the AIDS epidemic, and extreme poverty.
- Brokeback Mountain (2005) When it was released in 2005, Brokeback Mountain drew considerable attention largely because it starred two of the biggest actors of the time, Heath Ledger and Jake Gyllenhaal.
