<p>every lgbt feature length i've seen ranked by my personal favourites. notes are mini, spoiler free reviews so you know what you’re getting yourself into! </p><p><i>not including: subtle subtext, side/ensemble characters only, bait, documentaries, short films, tv specials, or films adopted by gay culture - <a href="https://boxd.it/8GmO0" rel="nofollow">here’s a accompanying list for this</a></i></p><p>LATEST ADDITIONS:</p><blockquote><p>-I Dream in Another Language, <i> dir. Ernesto Contreras, 2017</i>(no. 78)<br />- Cruising, <i>dir. William Friedkin, 1980 </i>(no. 53) <br />- Wittgenstein, <i>dir. Derek Jarman, 1993</i> (no. 104)</p></blockquote><p><i><b><br />disclaimer ! </b></i>i’ve been adding to some form of this list since 2015 now - it actually started in my notes app just for fun and transferred to letterboxd as a sort of rec list. for that reason, there’s some variation in how detailed each entry is and you can probably tell which films were watched several years ago and not revisited. </p><p>because i’ve been adding to this for so long, i’d also like to say don’t take my rankings too seriously! this list is personal to me and not a definitive, objective ranking. just because a films in the lower half doesn’t mean it’s bad, or that i didn’t like it. the only films i wouldn’t actually recommend are 135-157, and all for various reasons - some i think are just not worth watching, some i think there are way better versions of the same story, some are just generally bad films.</p><p>i have considered just binning the rankings completely, but the reason i posted this in the first place was just a personal project, weeding out the generic, the boring, the subtextual, the 'it has one gay character in the background so it's being tagged as queer cinema.' if you’ve stumbled across this list and we have different tastes, check out the filtering tools! there's tons of brilliant, lesser known films here you might miss out on. also, if you want a recommendation based on anything at all, i’d be more than happy to pick some for you.</p><p>something else to note is that this isn’t a curated list, it’s literally just whatever i feel inclined enough to watch. i have considered writing in the notes which identities are represented, but a lot of the time it's not black and white - for example, in funeral parade of roses (1969), the film depicts who we’d now consider transwomen, but are referred to as ‘gay boys’ in the film. to continue, i understand that positive representation and all that jazz is important to people, but it’s not 1962 anymore and we're not bringing back the hays code. i won’t be filtering out everything unsavoury, too sexual, too asexual, weird, or outdated. boooo censorship!! on this list, we have a little fun.</p>

<p>An ongoing list of all of the queer feature films that I've watched, sorted alphabetically. What I define as a "queer film" is of course subjective and case-by-case, but I'm generally drawn to films with prominent, unambiguous queer content. That doesn't necessarily mean "good" representation. By "content" I also mean some sort of significant scene or narrative arc, not just a passing reference.</p><p>This list is also mainly for my own purposes; it's not supposed to be a comprehensive list of all queer films, just the ones that I've personally seen.</p>

<p>Just a list of some pretty cool movie posters on the LB database. I haven't seen most of these movies. Arranged (messily) by aesthetic.</p><p>For an interesting aesthetic view as opposed to regular rainbow sorting, I recommend sorting the list by "When Added"</p>

<p>[after his parents have left, thinking he is ill]<i> "They bought it. Incredible! One of the worst performances of my career and they never doubted it for a second. How could I possibly be expected to handle school on a day like this? This is my ninth sick day this semester. It's getting pretty tough coming up with new illnesses. If I go for ten, I'm probably gonna have to barf up a lung, so I'd better make this one count. The key to faking out the parents is the clammy hands. It's a good non-specific symptom. I'm a big believer in it. A lot of people will tell you that a good phony fever is a dead lock, but, uh, you get a nervous mother, you could wind up in a doctor's office. That's worse than school. You fake a stomach cramp, and when you're bent over, moaning and wailing, you lick your palms. It's a little childish and stupid, but then, so is high school." - Ferris Bueller in</i> <a href="http://letterboxd.com/film/ferris-buellers-day-off/" rel="nofollow">Ferris Bueller's Day Off</a></p><p><i>"Dear Mr. Vernon: We accept the fact that we had to sacrifice a whole Saturday in detention for whatever it was we did wrong. But, we think you're crazy to make us write an essay telling you who we think we are. You see us as you want to see us: in the simplest terms, in the most convenient definitions.

I can never get enough of these films. A lot of these movies are my guilty pleasures. I would not necessarily admit to liking some of these movies in public, but I can relate to many of the characters and there is a bit of nostalgia in a lot of these films that take me back to my younger days, when life was simple (at times). There is also a connection that I established with many of these movies to periods in my life, which also enrich my viewing experience. I hope you enjoy and make the most of of this list, even if you only find one or two movies on here that you never saw and find it worth a watch. This list is in no particular order.</p>

<p>أطفالٍ دخلوا الحكايات بقلوبٍ صغيرة، لا يعرفون سوى ما تراه أعينهم، ولا من الحياة سوى ما تمنحهم إياه أيامهم الأولى، كأن الفرح خُلق لأجلهم، وركضوا خلف أحلامٍ لم يعرفوا بعدُ كيف تُسمّى، ثم وجد بعضهم نفسه في مواجهة أشياء أكبر من أعمارهم؛ فراقٍ لم يفهموا معناه، وغيابٍ لم يعرفوا كيف يسألون عنه، وأحزانٍ تسلّلت إلى أرواحهم قبل أن يتعلّموا حتى كيف يعبّرون عنها.</p><p>وبين ضحكةٍ تملأ البيت، ودمعةٍ تختبئ في زاوية بعيدة، ومغامرةٍ صغيرة تبدو للعالم عابرة، تتشكّل حكاياتهم؛ حكاياتٌ عن البراءة حين تصطدم بالحياة، وعن الدهشة التي تسكن العيون للمرة الأولى، وعن الأيام التي تمرّ دون أن يدرك أصحابها أنها ستصبح يومًا ذكرياتٍ يحنّ إليها الأصدقاء الغرباء.</p><p>هذه الأفلام لأطفالٍ عاشوا، وحلموا، وخافوا، وأحبّوا، وخسروا، ولحظاتٍ حدثت لهم قبل أن يعرفوا أسماءها… لكنها بقيت فينا، نحن الذين كبرنا، كأننا نحاول من خلالها استعادة شيءٍ ضاع منّا بالحياة دون أن نعرف متى فقدناه.</p><p><b>فبعض الحكايات لا تحتاج إلى أبطالٍ أقوياء وعظماء؛ يكفي أن يكون بطلها طفلًا صغيرًا، وأن يحدث له شيءٌ من تفاصيل الحياة.</b></p>

<p>Of all the films in this world, there is one kind of film that has and always will interest me: the film that simply observes a person's life rather than seeking for fully fleshed three-act structures in such complex life stories. This doesn't mean, of course, that nothing can or will happen. It just isn't the main focus. The real focus is just to see the most realistic kind of fiction, where nothing is supposed to happen but stuff just happens... because life. (Now how 'bout that...)<br />If you know any other films that fit into this very vaguely defined "genre", please tell me!</p>

Movies (and some tv series/episodes) that are so insanely packed with things and ideas and visuals they become dense in one way or another.
* Obviously subjective but not precisely my favourite movies.
* Ordered alphabetically.
* Suggestions welcomed but I'll have to see them to see if they fit my criteria.
