How about the wonderfully filmed and visually stunning Maurice? The rumbling, British pace of EM Forster's novel was brilliant...

I would have like to have seen Parting Glances on here as well. It is unjustly forgotten.

'Happy Together' is definitely one of our favorites! We're WKW fans too.

Happy Together is also pretty great:

Wong Kar Wai's sensibility makes for some beautiful moments.

Though its definitely less well-known than most of the movies on this list.

but i'm a cheerleader and priscilla definitely should've made the list.

what about other classics like better than chocolate, philadelphia, boys don't cry, edge of seventeen, incredibly true adventures of two girls in love, tipping the velvet jeffrey,...

aside from the omission of several obvious choices, this entire list seems to be far too male-centric. out of 20 films named, only 2 featured lesbian story lines, while the other 18 focused on men.

1. didn't realize i made a typo so thanks for pointing it out, and 2. Priscilla Queen of the Desert does belong here too.

(p.s. it wasn't meant to be pretentious, i was just continuing the "beat over the head" theme)

We here at Screengrab always like to support Natasha Lyonne (come back to us, Natasha!) and Derek Jarman would, of course, be a worthy addition...but we're REALLY kicking ourselves that we forgot Priscilla!

i'm thinking priscilla deserves a slot before that awful cheerleader movie.

ps- the coup d'teat typo is as funny as it is pretentious. or should i say garrish?

i find the omission of "But I'm a Cheerleader!" to be a bit garrish. Sure its a bit campy and tends to pound the message into your head repeatedly, but thats exactly what the antagonist is doing herself to make these painfully gay kids be straight. And as a coup d'teat, RuPaul plays a "reformed" gay camp counselor, playing it straight.

Whither Derek Jarman?
