Kicking off Pride Month with a list of the best Queer movies I've seen:

  • Paris is Burning (1990): an absolute MUST WATCH for every single queer person
  • Fire Island (2022): Bowen Yang, Joel Kim Booster, Margaret Cho and Pride and Prejudice, what's there not to love??
  • But I'm a Cheerleader (1999): Natasha Lyone and Clean Duvall do gay stuff together, RuPaul plays an ex-gay, need i say more?
  • Maurice (1987): the dark academia gay period piece of our dreams (plus Hugh Grant???)
  • Dating Amber (2020): one word - ireland (see also: Handsome Devil)
  • Nowhere (1997): if you're not saying "huh?" you're not watching it right
  • The Rocky Horror Picture Show (1975) is the absolute basis for camp
  • Moonlight (2016) needs no introduction
  • Été 85 (2020): gays on motorcycles cinematic universe
  • Fear Street Trilogy (2021) and Bodies, Bodies, Bodies (2022) because lesbians can kill, too
  • Edge of Seventeen (1998): what is gayer than a bad bleach job?
  • God's Own Country (2017)
  • The Watermelon Woman (1996): absolutely underrated classic
  • The Thing About Harry (2020), Alex Strangelove (2018), Crush (2022), Bros (2022) because we deserve dumb lil rom coms
  • 120 Battements par Minute (2017), Arrête avec Tes Mensonges (2023), Pariah (2011), My Own Private Idaho (1991), for when you just wanna sob uncontrollably

Happy Pride ! 🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈

Did you know that the very first assembly of photographs in sequential order to create a motion picture was a two-second clip of a Black man on a horse? Yes, it was. Yes, it was. Look it up.
