50 Best LGBTQ Movies to Watch
By Jill Gutowitz and Marilyn La Jeunesse
LGBTQ movies are a rarity — and accurately-portrayed queer characters in film even more so. LGBTQ+ people have long been buried under tropes and unsubtle stereotypes in film and television. For marginalized groups, truthful representation in film is imperative, even lifesaving, and in today’s stormy political climate there’s an urgency for straight cisgender people to see LGBTQ characters portrayed accurately and unapologetically — and by people who actually know what LGBTQ life is like because they live it.
While we’re a long way from total inclusivity and gay movies sans stereotypes, the film industry has made recent strides in centering LGBTQ+ characters. With more queer-identifying filmmakers, actors, producers, and directors than ever before given the opportunity to share their stories, we can only expect more fantastic LGBTQ+ films in the future. For now, we rounded up 35 of our favorite LGBTQ movies, from a sapphic historical romance to a cheesy early-aughts coming out rom-com and everything in between.
