The Queer Film Guide

January 10, 2025 6:23 AM

100 great movies that tell LGBTQIA+ stories: Have you noticed something about every “100 Greatest Movies Ever Made” list? The people in those movies . . . they’re almost all straight, white men. With so much incredible cinema to choose from, those lists only begin to peer into the cinematic and wider world. It’s time to push past the gatekeepers of what makes a movie “great” or “culturally significant” and get a broader view of what’s out there. Kyle Turner has selected 100 of cinema’s greatest queer films that are often overlooked but foundational to the art form and the wider culture.

Thank you for posting this. I'd never heard of this book and put in a request for my library to pick up a copy.
