sapphic movies that aren't period dramas and don't have sad endings
<p>since you bitches love to complain</p><p>uhhh a few notes since this list has reached a MUCH wider audience than i was expecting:<br />-wlw = an umbrella term referring to lesbian, bi, pan, and queer women<br />-i said “not sad” endings rather than happy endings for a reason. in my personal opinion none of these films end sadly. i also don’t think a couple necessarily has to end up together for the ending to be happy, depending on the movie. but several people have commented in particular that they think Lovesong, Cloudburst, and All About My Mother are sad, so keep that in mind. <br />-“why isn’t x movie on the list?”<br />there are three possibilities:<br />1) i haven’t heard of it, in which case thanks for the suggestion- i’m trying to add every suggestion i get<br />2) it is on the list, and you missed it- in particular several of the foreign films have posters with only their English title which has caused some confusion<br />3) it’s set in the past, and is therefore on my list of <a href="https://letterboxd.com/holmstrom/list/wlw-period-films/" rel="nofollow">wlw period films</a></p>
a comprehensive guide to ROMANTIC COMEDIES.
<p>The ultimate romantic comedy list (for better or for worse). Drop a comment for movies to be added. <b>LAST UPDATED:</b> 10/13/24</p><p><b>NOTES FROM THE CURATOR:</b> <i>Please read before commenting.</i></p><blockquote><p>- There's a big gap in small/indie, non-American, & LGBTQ+ rom-coms, so I would love to see more of those suggested.<br />- Films have been gathered from a variety of lists and suggestions, but I've only personally seen ~30% of the films on the list. If something feels like it doesn't fit, or something is missing from the list, you can tell me that in a kind way. I'm but one woman, and I made this list for fun (and for free).<br />- If you suggest a movie that was remade or has a common title, please include a director, a year, or a link (IMDb, Wiki, Letterboxd, whatevs) so I know which one to add.<br />- The list is in alphabetical order. It's a "ranked list" to benefit those who use random number generators to pick a film. I am not ranking any film above any other film, and rude comments about a film's position on the list will be deleted. Hope that helps. ❤️</p></blockquote>
<p>for those days where a 100+ minute movie is a little too much ... ¯\_(ツ)_/¯</p>
<p>Movies that include at least one queer woman, and/or feature romantic or sexual attraction between women (as the main plot, subplot, or subtext)</p>
*jo march voice* women...
<p>a list of movies that feature one or more of the following elements:<br />-non-boring woman protagonist<br />-made by a woman or women<br />-authentic/complex/nuanced portrayal of women<br />-explores an issue specific to women/gender/race/intersectionality</p>
The Queer Film Guide: Director's Cut
<p>Perhaps like queerness itself, there’s no beginning or ending to queer cinema. But you have to start somewhere. Whether it’s through the inclusion of explicitly LGBTQIA+ characters, like in early Weimar era example Different from the Others (1919), through the reading queerness into subjects on camera, finding queerness in gender transgression, and even through cinematic form itself, the breadth of queerness and difference runs deep through film’s history, despite its regular marginalization and sidelining in canon making lists and other kinds of institutionalizing. </p><p>In The Queer Film Guide: 100 Great Films That Tell LGBTQIA+ Stories, critic and author Kyle Turner has collected over 100 films that examine and engage with queerness and identity through a broad survey that spans across countries, genres, styles, and even ways of interpreting what queerness is. From classics like The Boys in the Band and Paris is Burning, to unusual gems like Glen or Glenda? and My Hustler, and modern mavericks like Tangerine, Moonlight, and By Hook or by Crook, The Queer Film Guide is a useful and fun resource for anything interested and curious about queer cinema and its endless possibilities. </p><p>Of course, 100 is hardly enough room to encompass all that queer film has to offer. For Letterboxd, please enjoy a director’s cut of all the films included in the book, in addition to some movies that didn’t make the final print. Think of it as The Queer Film Guide: The Director’s Cut.</p>

Pride Unprejudiced: LGBTQ+ Cinema
<p>Stepping out of the celluloid closet, LGBTQ+ representations in cinema have become increasingly robust, diverse, and multidimensional. From intimate character studies to boldly experimental features, the eclecticism of queer cinema not only illuminates the richness of our collective human experience but also daringly subverts filmmaking conventions. Just like the delightfully broad spectrum of genders and sexualities, cinematic renderings of queer experiences are cultural mosaics that rise above attempts at classification and categorization. Reflecting this formal dynamism, our electric offering of LGBTQ+ cinema is a celebration of queer artistry and history, spotlighting urgent social issues and the sheer pleasure of unapologetic queer joy.</p><p>Stream your country's selection <b><a href="http://mubi.com/specials/lgbtq" rel="nofollow">here</a></b>.</p>

Is there really anything better than thinking “good for her” while a woman achieves her dreams, fights back against her adversaries, or receives an end to her story that is satisfying? NO!!! </p><p><b><i>I do not add films to the list until after I’ve personally seen them and personally think they deserve to be here</i></b>! Would love to hear your suggestions for future additions! If I haven’t seen your suggestion, I’ll add it to my watchlist and attempt to see it asap but please know, this is at its core my own personal list and thus, not everything suggested will end up here. </p><p>Looking for an IRL “good for her” watch?

Rotten Tomatoes: Best of 2017
Pulled from Rotten Tomatoes Top Movies section:

UPDATED: 2/22/22
<p>The best of LGBTQ+ films from all over the world throughout history. <br />Feel free to recommend more films I should add to the list. :P</p>
<p>I interpret coming of age as self-realization. </p><p>In short, one realizing their place in this world. Discovering their mortality and the constructed fragility of everything around them. Based on that, one discovers their agency and the undecided value of their existence; deciding to act for themselves.</p>

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.

There is also a connection that I established with many of these movies to periods in my life, which also enrich my viewing experience.
